Magpie Gabbard and the Quest for the Buried Moon Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I like fantasies about princesses and British wizards as much as the next person, but it was wonderful to meet up with Magpie Gabbard and follow her breathlessly on her daisy chain of quests through the Kentucky mountains. Though you won't find the word "hillbilly" in the book, Magpie and her clan have...

Beauty Queen Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Written as a young girl's diary, the book immediately immerses you as Samantha's best friend, the one she will tell everything to.
