A Company of Swans Review




So,over the summer,I took up ballet lessons.I have fell in love with it! So,when I heard about Eva Ibbotson's A Company of Swans,I knew I had to read it! This book tells about a girl who follows her dreams,despite what other people think!She joins a traveling ballet company!She has far less experience than any of the other dancers in the company,but they see her passion,dedication,and willingness to learn.I can relate to that aspect of the girls life!She followed her dreams despite people telling her she could not be good! This is another book that I would say would be a great summer read as well!:)

The Secret Garden Review



I have had a copy of this book for awhile,and I just read it recently. I wish i read it earlier! This book was so good!It tells of Mary.Her life is ad.That is until she discovers a sick boy.She helps him in many ways.....If you want to know,READ IT!Oh my goodness,it will be so worth it!It is a light read as far as having to think and also the pages are not that many! This is a children's book,but if your an adult and you have not read it,still do!Please!:)It will be totally worth your time!Let me know what you think!
