Kids Books - Science Fiction

I love this book - honestly, I would have to say this is one of my top ten favorite books, just because it captures emotions so perfectly, and the author's voice is fresh and captures the reader's imagination right away. The poems that start almost every chapter and very creative and sometimes, downright funny, and I felt the emotions that the characters were feeling, such as fear, uncertainty, and joy, among many other emotions. Now let's get on with the review! Miri is a small girl living in a territory called Mount Eskel. Everyone who lives on Mount Eskel works in the quarry and cuts linder, which they later sell to merchants visiting Mount Eskel. Unfortunately, Miri is too small and weak to help the village cut linder, and therefore feels useless and unwanted. However, she has a close relationship with her father and her sister, and her crush/friend Peder. However, the prince is getting ready to choose a bride, and the country's priests have declared that the prince's bride will come from.. Mount Eskel! Mount Eskel? Everyone, including the royal family, is immediately shocked - they all think that it's just a lowly territory, has no influence on the kingdom, and basically has a lot of prejudice on it. Reluctantly, they use the fanciest building in Mount Eskel and dub it, "The Princess Academy," where girls from the age of 12-18 will prepare for the opportunity of a lifetime - to become a princess. Miri and the other girls attend "The Princess Academy," where all the lessons are taught by a harsh and strict teacher, Tutor Olana. However, Miri is very bright and excels at learning, commerce, and nearly all the other subjects through time. Since their current situation is unbearable, since they hardly ever get to see their families and they receive brutal punishments, Miri and the other girls, with their new manners and diplomacy, convince Tutor Olana to let them have weekly visits home. That was a step in the right direction, and now everything seems to flow into place like a river. Miri starts learning quarry-speech, which is communication used in quarries that is non-verbal. (It is non-verbal because the noise in the quarry is too loud for people to hear human talk.) Miri also befriends a quiet, far-away girl named Britta, who has just moved to Mount Eskel and is still considered a "lowlander," which means someone who is "fancy," or generally closer to the kingdom ways than the Mount Eskel ways. Miri's willingness and eagerness to learn and her new-found friendships with the other girls earns her the title of "Academy Princess." This grants her to wear a beautiful, silk-like dress to the ball and also have the first dance with the prince at the actual ball. At the ball, the prince turns out to be so formal and boring, unlike how the girls imagined him. He dances with every girl except Britta, who is ill and distant, and is very solemn, serious, formal, and boring to each of them. Later, he takes a walk with Miri and reveals his more human side. However, he leaves without choosing a bride, telling everyone that he will return in the spring and then choose a bride. Oh, no. BANDITS! Bandits are here! They have a horrible motive of taking hostage "The Chosen One," or the prince's future bride, and keeping her until the prince and the royal family pays them to get her back. (They probably will kill the other girls who aren't the princess!) What will Miri and the other girls do? If they do survive the bandits, who will become the princess? Read this book to find out! This book has a twist ending, and I absolutely loved the twist ending - it was perfect! The main character was perfectly relatable, because I was teased and I always thought I was useless for not being able to do things that other, taller people could do. The characters are woven into the story like a tapestry, and the story flows as smoothly as a small stream. The gentle, beautiful parts are as amazing as silk, and the parts that make you gasp and want to read more are really jagged and perfect (like Mount Eskel!) I rate this, absolutely, 5 stars, hands down. READ!

(Spoiler-free review) Catherine Pinkerton loves to bake, and she dreams of opening a bakery with her maid friend, Mary Ann. Although she wants this badly, her parents would never approve of a girl that had a chance of being the future queen “destroying” her status to own a business. At a ball where Catherine learns of the king’s intent to propose to her, she meets the court jester, Jest, and falls deeply in love, but fate has other plans. This book is my favorite of all time. Marissa Meyer writes so beautifully, and she will make you love the characters so much. It’s a retelling/origin story of the Queen of Hearts, and it tells of how she became so heartless. The book itself is long, but it is a real page-turner and will rip your heart out at the ending. I read this book in less than one day, maybe about five hours—I couldn’t tear myself away. The characters, scenes, and the overwhelming emotion made me feel something too as I screamed at the pages. Yes, this book destroyed me emotionally, but you should definitely read it—I’ve never felt any emotions as strong as this while reading a book. There’s also a musical version on YouTube, it’s pretty book accurate, but I haven’t watched the whole thing. As for the age range for this book, I’d say maybe 14 and up, but if you’re a teenager, you should be able to read this book (like I did). Yes, it has romance, but it’s not very explicit, but I don’t think that people under 13 should read it. Overall, the characters are amazing and so is the character development. I fell in love with all of the characters and it’s overall a really great book, and you should read it!

I really loved this book and I thought I would be good for the people who watched the anime.

because i already watched the movie now i wanna read it and it is a good novel i like the character mostly nezuko shes so cute and i like her character and how she looks like and tanjiro i like how he uses his powers and when he fightas the demons

I love this book, Bakugou is my favorite I can not wait to read all the books ^.^ i love anime, i cant stop being a fan. In a world where quirks are the norm Izuku Midoriya is a boy who has dreams of becoming a hero like his idol All Might but his rival Katsuki Bakugou bullies him on being quirkless and says Izuku won't ever become a hero, until All Might gives him his quirk "All For One" after he proves he's worthy of having all might's power and he becomes a student at U.A High and is put into class 1-A and his homeroom teacher is the erasure hero: Eraserhead (Shouta Aizawa), I think it's a really good manga! I especially love the anime, sure it's got the "I'll save you" kinda plot but as you get into the manga/anime it gets really good and super entertaining it does contain some swearing but I'd recommend it to 13 - 16 I personally really love the anime! i love the show and it had DEKU on the front cover so of course its going to be AMAZING by the way have you guys seen him i want to drink his blood! ANYWAY, I REALLY LOVE THIS BOOK OMG <3

Great for anime lovers.

Great for anime lovers.

Oh, this manga. This was, in my opinion, one of the literal best out of the whole series. I love that Midoriya gives Todoroki the courage to not only stand up to his father, but eventually shut him out and forget about him. (Its a good thing, his fathers kinda terrible.) Words are powerful, and that's what Midoriya proves. The endings really funny, and it made me laugh.

I got this manga for christmas, and literally COULD NOT put it down. The ending was really interesting, what with Ochako going up against Bakugo and all, but the parts I really liked were when Kaminari went up against Shiozaki and then the battle between Shinso and Midoriya. Really entertaining, really action packed, and will definitely have you hooked for mangas to come.

I absolutely love it! I love all of class 1-A student's especially Bakugo and kirishima and all the others but I am thinking that hawks teaches class 1-B bc he is not seen in the actual Anime series! I'm on season 2 ep 18 and I love it hope y'all do to!
