Ever after High,The Storybook Legends


Image result for ever after high book 1



On Legacy Day each year,
the students at the Ever After High boarding school sigh the Storybook of Legends and pledge to fulfill their destinies as the next Snow Whites,Cinderella's,Prince Charmings,etc.

And as far as I know it is the first book in a series.

Raven,daughter of the Evil Queen from Snow White is totally NOT evil, and she doesn't want to be Evil.

But  Raven,Apple White and the other snow white characters may go Poof  if Raven doesn't sign the Storybook of Legends.

Raven has to make a choice a very hard  one that has a lot of ifs.

Ballet Shoes By Noel Streatfeild



This amazing book probably took a TON of talent to write.

The eldest sister was Pauline, who was rescued from a ship when she was a baby, she is named after the saint Paul. Pauline loves to act.

The middle sister was Petrova, she was adopted from a young couple in Russia who died. She is a tomboy who LOVES cars and engines.

The youngest sister was Posy, her mother may be alive but all we know is that her mother was a dancer and had no time for baby's. She arrived to her family in a basket with ballet shoes. Posy loves to dance.

WARNING: this book takes place in London.

Just for Starters

Hi my name is Christine and I am 8 years old.

I live in New York.

I am homeschooled and I started reading at 4.

I know books that are for beginner readers and advanced readers but I will mostly be saying 8-9 years old books, and I know British books too because I have just moved back from a year living in London.

I also have one more blog : http://christines-world-newyork.blogspot.co.uk/
