Legend of the Lost Legend (Goosebumps #47) by R.L. Stine

Legend of the Lost Legend (Goosebumps #47) by R.L. Stine-122 pages

Honestly, this has been my least favorite Goosebumps that I have read. It isn't bad, but it isn't as good as the others I have read. Marissa and Justin are with their dad on a trip to Brovania, a fictional country in Europe, to find the Lost Legend. Justin and Marissa get separated from their dad while following a white dog named Silverdog along the way and must pass a survival test to get the silver chest that will supposedly contain what they seek. Everything is not what it seems in this forest Justin and Marissa are lost in. Will they pass the survival test or will they be forever lost in this strange forest? Will they indeed find the Lost Legend (and do they really want to)?

Ms. Rapscott's Girls by Elise Primavera

Ms. Rapscott's Girls by Elise Primavera - 265 pages

Ms. Rapscott's runs a school for girls of busy parents.  These girls do not know how to live or survive in the world as their parents are too busy to teach them anything.  Ms. Rapscott is going to fix that.  Unfortunately, one of the girls got lost on her way to the school and they have to find her before they can finish their term.
I thought the idea behind this book was very interesting.  The girls were all very distinct personalities even though they were stereotypes.  I think my main issue with the book was that the girls personalities changed very quickly and between chapters so it was a little abrupt.

The Magician Trilogy: book 1

Gwyn is given five magical gifts by his grandmother for his ninth birthday with the directions to give them to the wind in the hopes he is a magician.  If he is, he should be able to get his heart's desire -- his sister Bethan should come back after going missing three years ago.
I was making a "snow" display for work and put this book on the display.  I had read it when it first came out.  I decided to pick it up as I didn't remember much of the story.  I'm glad I did.  I really enjoyed reading it again and am definitely going to pick up books 2 and 3 to re-read also.
