Nancy Drew: Seeing Green by Carolyn Keen was a pretty pathetic third book in the Nancy Drew green trilogy. It started out boring without action until a third of the way through the book. Then Nancy was nearly killed many times. Overall there were so many unbelievable and impossible things that I was tempted to shut the book. I would not suggest this book to anyone.
This Charming Third book in the Inkheart Trilogy was full of darker magic and more separation. Though it was a well-written and exciting book, some parts seemed over the top. However, I liked it when Moe realized he didn't want to be the Bluejay anymore and Resa became half bird half woman. I will recommend it to anyone who liked the first and second books (and give a tip, It seemed like a boat kind of book and reading it in a boat, especially the ending, gives it more flavor).
Inkspell by Cornelia Funke is an interesting read and sequel to Inkheart. I thought it was amazing, but disliked when immortality and death came into play. The plot was well-written and thought out, however hard to believe, and I would suggest it as an excellent read to any of my friends. Charming turnout.
I think that Inkheart by Cornelia Funke is a very adventurous and well-written book. The plot was well shaped and the characters could be pictured easily. I liked Dustfinger especially and his role in the story. I could not think of anything that can improve the storyline. I would recommend this book to anyone of any age. I also liked the twists in the plot to keep the reader interested and the story moving.

In my opinion, this was a great book to read. It pulls you in at the beginning and since it's over 400 pages, it keeps you interested for a longer period of time. Other books from the Redwall series by Jacques are interesting too, but I think that this is one of his best.
This was a truly amazing sequel to Magyk. Angie Sage kept the series going in a flash of excitement, friendship, and mystery. I have always loved cliffhangers and she uses them frequently throughout the book. Although it was not as good as the first book, it was a good story. In my opinion it could've used a better plot, but it was a good story.

It was hilarious at times and sad at others, and Elizabeth was great and relatable. Loved this book.
