I thought I would share a new book series I really like.

My sister recommended this book to me. This is the first of four books. I am not sure how many more will be in the series, but it is fun to read. It is a children's book a lot like Harry Potter. There are magical creatures and fun adventures. It is an easy read, but well worth your time. It is probably meant for kids at least 7 years old, maybe a little older than that.

Happy reading!

I am all on board.

Hi Ladies!
