Hi again! I’ve been waiting for a little while to post this (I was super psyched) since I hadn’t read the whole series. But now I have, so enjoy!  WARNING-CONTAINS SPOILERS

Wings of Fire #1-The Dragonet Prophecy

Clay, Glory, Sunny, Starflight, and Tsunami are the five dragonets destined to end the war and save Pyrrhia. But how can they do that when they’re stuck in a cave and are being constantly watched? They escape-but only to be mixed up in even more trouble than ever before. Can the five dragonets escape the clutches of the evil Queen Scarlet?

Wings of Fire #2-The Lost Heir

Now out of the Sky Kingdom and searching for more, the dragonets seek more secrets. Tsunami’s ambition leads them to the Sea Kingdom, where a shocking secret is uncovered. But this secret leads to even more-murderous magic, a plotting queen, and a plot to overthrow the SeaWing throne. Can Tsunami and her friends find the answer-and reason to escape?

Wings of Fire #3-The Hidden Kingdom

With two dragonets now knowing of their families and their whereabouts, Glory now goes to the Rainforest Kingdom, where she discovers that she seems to be the only one like her-no dragon she meets retains her brave personality and would rather sleep than fight to save the world. Lost in confusion, she uncovers a threat that may lead to the end of the RainWings. Will she find out the secretive kidnappers and free her brethren?

Wings of Fire #4-The Dark Secret

The dragonets are on the case with a kidnapper to catch. Their search leads them to a hidden entrance-to the Night Kingdom, where the RainWings are being held captive and experimented on. And worse, the feared NightWing Morrowseer has placed fake Dragonets of Destiny to warp the result of the prophecy to his whim. Will the RainWings be freed and Morrowseer and the false dragonets be stopped?

 

Wings of Fire #5-The Brightest Night

It all ends here. Now in the Sand Kingdom, Sunny is ready to face anything that comes her way. But as always, twists and turns surprise and shock her, and the villains are ever persistent. Can Sunny and her friends end the war once and for all?

Wings of Fire #6-Moon Rising

Now, years after the war, the Dragonets of Destiny have opened a special  school-Jade Mountain Academy, where dragonets of all tribes mingle in peace. A new arrival, Moonwatcher, is nervous. She is hiding a secret-she has the power to read minds. But when a strange plot to kill unfurls inside the school, can Moon and her winglet save Jade Mountain Academy and its students?

Wings of Fire #7-Winter Turning

Now out of the school and chasing a prophecy, Winter, fellow student of Moon, has a plan to save the school. But his quest leads him and his friends in grave danger. Queen Scarlet is still on the rise, and ready to take down anyone in her path to destroy Jade Mountain and reclaim the SkyWing throne. Can Winter save his friends from the evil queen?

 

Wings of Fire #8-Escaping Peril

Peril has always been an outcast. Born with too much fire, she can burn enemies with a single touch of her claw. She has escaped as champion of Queen Scarlet and now seeks revenge. Can she, along with Turtle the SeaWing, defeat Scarlet and secure the Sky Kingdom and Jade Mountain?

Sorry about the descriptions, but I hope they were good enough to convince you! WHAT AN AWESOME SERIES!!

Heh.

Hello again! Today I’m telling you about a book that I JUST FINISHED about an hour ago…I’m serious. It was kinda short. But it was great!

 

Unusual Chickens for the Exceptional Poultry Farmer

Sophie Brown has just moved to L.A., where she and her family inherit her great-uncle’s farm. While poking around in the yard, Sophie finds a white hen. The hen seems normal-she’s healthy, kind of irascible, and lays decent eggs. But then Sophie discovers that this hen is-yes-a telekinetic hen. Now, Sophie realizes that she must save all of her uncle’s previous chickens (all unusual) before its too late.

This was an absolutely funny and clever book, and I hope you enjoy! 🙂

I know I said earlier that I wouldn’t do Warrior cats stuff because virtually everyone knows about it. But I just had to do this because of the SHEER AMAZINGNESS OF IT ALL

IT MADE ME CRY!!!! TWICE!! And I will not say why because the reasons are both spoilers.  Quite saddening spoilers. Okay, lets get on with the review:

Warriors: Super Edition- Moth Flight’s Vision

Moth Flight, a warrior of early WindClan and daughter of leader Wind Runner, has always been a daydreamer. Instead of hunting, she would rather chase butterflies and collect little leaves she finds. The rest of the Clan thinks she’s utterly useless. But when suddenly has dreams of dead cats and a certain green moth, things are about to change. Moth Flight is destined to be the first Medicine Cat and discover the Moonstone-a place where the spirit cats freely visit the living in their dreams. Can she convince the Clans of her significance? Will she be a worthy Medicine Cat?

 

Well, I hope you are convinced. Now that I’ve posted this, I’ll post MORE Warriors Super Editions! MWA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! Oh, sorry.

Hello everyone! Happy snow day (if you live in CO) and semi-happy February. So, here I have a book that I’d like to recommend-Book Scavenger. I’m not sure if its a series or not, so don’t blame me if I have the first book. Sorry, and here goes-

Book Scavenger

Emily, and her family, have been “nomads” all their lives-moving from state to state and cataloging their adventures on a blog. And then-San Francisco. When Emily finds a copy of an Edgar Allan Poe book on the sidewalk, she’s excited. But little does she know that it holds a puzzle, secrets, and yes-typos. YES! TYPOS! Will she figure out the mystery of this little book, and who made the puzzle in the first place?

 

Well, good bye and have fun freezing your butts off, CO. Hahaha, sorry. Well, bye.

Hello again, everyone! Today I am recommending the Menagerie series! Yay! Awesome!

The Menagerie (1)

When Logan Wilde finds a griffin cub in his room, he suspects something fishy. But when his friend Zoe finds out, she introduces him to the Menagerie-a special sanctuary for mythical creatures. But then the cub-all of the resident griffin cubs have gone missing. Will Zoe and Logan find them before the others do?

 

The Menagerie (2)-Dragon on Trial

When Pelly the golden goose is missing (and bloodied feathers are discovered), Zoe, Logan, and everyone else working for the Menagerie suspect murder. And the prime suspect-an innocent dragon named Scratch. Will Zoe and Logan save him before the execution? And what actually happened to Pelly?

 

The Menagerie (3)-Krakens and Lies

As it turns out, Ruby, Zoe’s older sister, has been lying. And Logan has uncovered a dark secret that may mean the end of the Menagerie. Will Logan and Zoe save the Menagerie before its too late?

This is a clever, funny, action-packed, and overall awesome series! And before we go, here is a HILARIOUS quote/reference from Krakens and Lies. Please like or comment if you get it:

“Be vewy, vewy, quiet. We’re hunting jackalopes.”

-Logan Wilde

*bursts out laughing and nobody gets it*

But seriously, do you get it? Ever heard of Looney Tunes, anyone?

Well…goodbye.

Hello again! Today I have a very good-and rather hilarious-book to recommend: Castle Hangnail. It’s by the author of the Dragonbreath series (Ursula Vernon), so when I first read this, I expected something good. And it truly delivered. So here goes:

Castle Hangnail is looking for a new master. So when Molly, a twelve year old girl claiming to be a wicked witch, comes to their doorstep, the resident minions are more than a little surprised. Sure, she’s relatively witch-y, can do a bit of magic, and is obsessed with the color black, but Molly seems suspicious. She’s polite,  somewhat cheerful, and a little too…kind. But she’s a great master, even at age twelve. So what now? Is Molly the true master, or an imposter? And is she truly fit to be master of Castle Hangnail for years to come?

I hope you guys like this book as much as I did. Wicked!

 

Hello, fellow bookworms! Today, I am showing to you one of my personal favorite series-The Familiars. It used to be my favorite, but back in 2015 The Search for WondLa series shoved it down to number two. That certainly doesn’t mean that it’s bad. So, here you are:

(so…small..!)

The Familiars

Aldwyn the alley cat is in for the adventure of his life. When fleeing a bounty hunter, he hides in the Familiar shop-a place where wizards adopt their magical companions! And now, Aldwyn himself finds himself the familiar of the wizard apprentice Jack. But when Jack and his friends are captured by the evil queen, he, along with familiars Skylar and Gilbert, must rescue them.

 

The Familiars-Secrets of the Crown

Jack and the loyals are safe. Aldwyn has discovered his powers. And the evil Paksahara is on the rise. Now, in order to stop her, Aldwyn, Skylar, and Gilbert must find the Crown of the Snow Leopard-the key to the shifting fortress. If the familiars get to it first, Vastia is safe. But if Paksahara gets it, she will unleash a deadly force that may mean the end of Vastia itself…

 

The Familiars-Circle of Heroes

Paksahara has control over the Shifting Fortress, and now her Dead Army has besieged the lands. In order to stop her, Aldwyn, Skylar, and Gilbert must gather the Seven Descendants before time runs out…

The Familiars-Palace of Dreams

Vastia is finally safe…for now. But when the queen is unexpectedly poisoned, the Familiars must find an antidote before it’s too late. Will the queen live? And-will Aldwyn find his long-lost sister, Yeardley?

 

I hope I convinced you!

Also-on an unrelated note-

I’m starting a new tradition here on the Neon Cheetah- Book Review Tuesday! It’s basically just a weekly book review/recommendation for all of my followers. Of course, I’m probably not going to do Harry Potter or Warriors or The Hunger Games because virtually everyone knows about them (although all of them are great). So today, for the very first BRT, I’m going to tell you about The Search for WondLa series (otherwise known as THE BEST SERIES IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE!!!!!)

Book One

But when her sanctuary is destroyed, the outside world turns out to be more strange and dangerous than she could ever have imagined.But are there others like her? Together with Muthr, her robot caretaker, and Rovender Kitt, an inhabitant of the aboveground world, Eva Nine will find out.

Book Two

Summary-Eva Nine’s vision of others truly like her has come true, and she is about to arrive in the human city! But there, she uncovers a secret that may lead to the fall of the planet itself…

 

Book Three (the final book)

Summary-Eva Nine has failed to stop the human invasion, and now she must defeat them in order for peace to arrive. But a terrifying secret that only she knows may change the course of the battle. Now she must turn the tables so that the planet may survive…

Also, here’s a beautiful quote from the first book-

 

Ciao, everyone! 🙂
