Spellbook Of The Lost And Found

Stars 4/5
Spellbook Of The Lost And Found by Moira Fowley-Doyle

Very creative and unique story line. I really enjoyed this book. The story begins in a small town in Ireland when things start to go missing. It starts out with little things but soon the lost things becomes critical. Six teenagers come across a spell book that can retrieve back missing things but it comes with a huge price. I don't want to go into the story more as to not spoil it but I definitely recommend it especially during the Autumn/Halloween season.

Mary Poppins by P. L. Travers

I read this book as a buddy read and of course this is not the first time I have read this story but I love to revisit this magical world from time to time. The story follows Mary Poppins as she arrives on Cherry Lane to take the job of nanny until the wind blows her away to a new location. I really can't recommend this story enough. It is great for kids of all ages.
