Title: Miss Potter, The Novel.
Author: Richard Maltby Jr.
Living Room: Relationships.

This is the story of Betrix Potter and it tells about her life and how her passion for art made her a living with her adorable "bunny books."
This book is also a movie, which i also enjoyed. The characters i disliked the most were Norman the publishers older brothers Harold and Fruging who were quite arrogant and didn't really have any faith in Beatrix or Norman and the only reason they had her book published was because it was a little project that didn't matter and was ok for Norman to screw up. i really liked this book, it is a classic and it is easy to imagine that you too were there in the times and how you would have felt. I give this book 5 happy faces :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

This is only half of this action packed novel but I’m out of letters remaining.
Raising Dragons is the first book in the series of four books of Dragons In Our Midst. The next three books are The Candle-stone, Circles of Seven, and Tears of a Dragon. I enjoyed this book very much and rate it 9 out of 10.

Title REDWALL
Series A Tale Of Redwall
Author Brian Jacques
Shelf type Fantasy and adventure
In the novel Redwall, there are several plots, but there is one main plot. Cluny the Scourge is the bad guy in this story. He is a rat and his ambition is to take over Redwall with his five hundred follower rats. Meanwhile, the inhabitants of Redwall have their own adventures. Towards the end of the novel they discover that they are about to become under attack and prepare them selves just in time. Cluny is defeated and a new hero is born, Matthias.
This novel is split up into three stories. The first story is called The Wall; the second story is called The Quest; and the third story is called The Warrior. In the beginning, I found this novel rather hard to get into, however by the second story I had a more of an understanding of the characters and the story line of this novel. Each story told a different idea, but each of the three ideas was linked together. I thought that this made the reading of this novel fairly easy. I would rate this novel 8 out of 10. I would mention that it was a good book but will not recommend it to anyone. Should anyone want to start the Tale from Redwall series, then from my past readings of this series, I would recommend that they should read this novel first.
