Princess for a Week by Betty Ren Wright
Grades: Late 2 - 4
Rating 8/10
Fun story. The title fooled me just like it was supposed too. I thought that "Princess" was a dog, or that someone had turned into a dog. I was wrong. Thie is a cute little mystery with just enough action and suspense to grab the younger chapter book reader.

Mirror's Tale
Mirror's Tale A Further Tales Adventure by P.W. Catanese
Grades: 4+
My Rating: 8/10
Have you ever wondered what happened to the mirror from the Snow White fairy tale? This fun, fast moving story takes place 100 + years after Snow White. Bert and Will, twin sons of the baron are seperated for the summer becasue of all their misbehavior. What happens when one of them stumbles upon a mysterious beautiful mirror.
This is a fun book and will be enjoyed by many readers. It has a bit of fairy tale violence, so I would recommend it for grades 4th and up. Middle schoolers will enjooy this as well.
