Dragonbreath by Ursula Vernon

Dragonbreath (ARC)
Ursula Vernon

"He [Danny Dragonbreath] can't breath fire, but he has no fear."
-front cover

When Danny gets an F on his science paper about the ocean, his teacher gives him a second chance to make it up. Instead of doing book research at the library, Danny decides to do his research hands on. Dragging best friend Wendell along with him, Danny visits his cousin Edward who lives by the sea. Edward takes them on an undersea adventure of a lifetime. Along with visitng many different sea creatures and habitats, the find a long lost pirate ship, and even end up fighting off a vampire Squid!!

Even though he's the only dragon at a mainly reptile school, Danny doesn't let that bother him. He's bold, full of adventure and has an AWESOME imagination. He even stands up to the bully along with best friend, Wendell. Danny sounds to me like the kind of guys I'd love to be friends with.

Dragonbreath was pack full with adventure and action with a side of self discovery and humor. It's the perfect candidate not only for the 8-12age group but also for the YA level, especially for those of us who seem to have lost our sense of imagination. It really bought out the kid side in me.

Waiting On Wednessday XII

Waiting on Wednesday is a topic brought to life by Jill over at Breaking the Spine. In it, you get to introduce to everyone the books you're looking forward in the upcoming year and such.

Beautiful
Amy Reed

240 pages
Simon Pulse (October 6, 2009)

When Cassie moves from the tiny town where she has always lived to a suburb of Seattle, she is determined to leave her boring, good-girl existence behind. This is Cassie's chance to stop being invisible and become the kind of girl who's worth noticing.

Stepping into her new identity turns out to be easier than Cassie could have ever imagined...one moment, one choice, will change everything.

Cassie's new existence both thrills and terrifies her. Swept into a world of illicit parties and social landmines, she sheds her virginity, embraces the numbness she feels from the drugs, and floats through it all, knowing that she is now called beautiful. She ignores the dangers of her fast-paced life?but she can't sidestep the secrets and the cruelty.

Cassie is trapped in a swift downward spiral tinged with violence and abuse, and no one—not even the one person she thought she could trust—can help her now. (LINK)

The Fold

page 209

"John Gord Kang emerged from the waves like a surfing god. He flipped his head back, and his wet hair flew off his forehead. He carried his surfboard under one arm as he ran onto the beach and then set it down next to his towel. Bits of seaweed clung to his muscular chest."

It's Been a While...
