This story is about a boy that is sent to bed without his dinner for acting like a "wild thing". He falls asleep soon after and his imagination begins to run wild. His room starts off by being transformed into a forest and then he finds a boat and sets sail for quite some time. He eventually finds himself in a land inhabited by wild things, where he eventually becomes king. He begins to miss his mother and understand that being in charge is not as easy as he thinks. One way that I would use this in my classroom would be by reading a loud and have the students come up with synonyms for the word terrible. I would also have students write captions for the pictures that did not have any with them.

Bridge to Terabithia is a great novel that tells a story about two lonely children that feel like outsiders create a magical forest kingdom with their imaginations. This novel tells a story about great friendship and the loss of it. The real life conflicts that the characters experience throughout this novel make you love them all the more. I would use this novel in my classroom to not only teach life lessons but also practice with segmenting of events. 

Accelerated Reader Level: 7.0

Morrigan is a young adult who has always kept her magical powers of telekinetics and an ability to control fire a secret. Having been abandoned at birth and moved from countless foster homes her only companions are a set of cats. Much to her surpise she one day comes face to face with a mysterious knight who has appeared in many of her dreams and discovers a magical world that she is destined to save from evil.  Descended from a line of magical witches she must rescue her mother, the queen and her grandmother from an evil witch who seeks to destroy them. Morrigan joins the knight on this perilous journey in hopes of not only conquering evil but to find love and acceptance at last.



This story takes you on an amazing quest and in a magical world where anything can happen. I felt transported to a medieval village and much like in a fairytale it completely captured my heart. Morrigan is a typical teen who has lead a very untypical life and you feel for her instantly.  She is truly seeking love and friendship.  When she meets her knight I couldn't help but want her to find it at last.  Not all is what it seems and there were many suprises that were yet to discover. This book certainly stood out for me in the vast ocean of paranormal/fantasy young adult books and encourage anyone who likes these genres to read this. You will not be disappointed.

I was provided a review copy courtesy of Promotional Book Tours in exchange for an honest review.

About Book


A simple mission turned deadly.


Nineteen-year-old vampire Dawn has led a sheltered life within the confines of her father’s presidential headquarters. Upon being sent on a mission to revamp four goofy misfits into guardians of a peaceful little town of Angel Creek, Dawn believes that all her dreams have finally come true. What starts off as a simple task, turns into something unexpected, changing Dawn’s life forever and leading the action-loving, thrill-seeking vampire teen on a path of mystery, danger and intrigue.


When a human girl is kidnapped by a group of rogue vamps, Dawn discovers that there is more going on in Angel Creek than meets the eye. And it all connects to Ethan, the cute newcomer who seems too perfect to be true, Sebastian, the mysterious vampire with a turbulent past, and even Dawn herself. Dawn must not only succeed in revamping the troubled recruits, but must also prevent the vampire race from being overtaken by a malevolent villain who has a strange and obsessive fascination with her. As threat escalates, romance blooms, and ghosts from her past begin to surface, Dawn is sure of only one thing: her life will never be the same.

My thoughts

Let me start off by saying that I love this cover to this debut novel.Ada Adams is a new author to me and I have to say that I really loved the first and second book.

The story involves vampires and humans coexisting together.In this story the vampires are known to the humans some in favor of there existence and other who are not.

All and all this was great story.Dawn who is a young vampire warrior and also the daughter of the President of all vampires is sent on a mission to trained 4 young teenage vampires to become the new protectors of the town they live in.For Dawn she been sheltered and protected all her life.Dawn has now been given a mission and for the first time able to spread her wings.

I loved the idea of Dawn training a bunch of misfits to be great warriors. The characters had all different personalities total opposites of each other making them a great cast of characters.Some where moody and dark others quiet and shy and another nerdy.You had to love the reaction to Dawn coming in contact with each and everyone of her new recruits .Remember she has been training with hardened warrior her whole life and now she takes one look at this sad group thinking her mission is hopeless from the very beginning.Her reaction to meeting each and everyone was priceless.

For me I have to have a favorite character but, this time it was really hard to choose.But, in the end I am choosing Sebastian.Razor his brother would be my second choice.Sebastian was a young vampire with a tragic past making him a bit dark and moody but, on the other hand very protective and loving individual at the same time.He had many sides to him that made him so interesting to read about.Sebastian a tall dark and handsome vampire that is surrounded with mystery who wouldn't fall head over heels for him ?

I just loved the story it had so much going for it.Love and romance budding for several couple intrigue and danger.The forging of 6 new friendships.I felt by the end of the story that they formed a loving family of there own.I enjoyed seeing each and every character grow into there own making them feel cherished and special and prideful and even more confident individuals.

The story had tons of intrigue going on where we learn about each and everyone's past some even connecting with the future and the danger that surrounds them all now.For some many secrets were uncovered in Dawn's past leaving the girl in limbo and truly hurt.I found her character at first to be a little annoying but, when her past secrets are starting to reveal themselves you understand her character much more and understand why she acts they way she does but, little by little she opens up and unwinds and bit making her more of a likeable/loveable character.

I loved it and recommend it to all whether young are old.This is a Young Adult Fantasy Romance.New Debut novel for Ada Adams and I have to say that she did a very good job for her first novel.So looking forward to the rest of the series.We are giving this newest story 5 stars!
