CRYSTAL THE SNOW FAIRY Daisy Meadows

The weather fairies lost thier magic feathers for changing weather! More importantly, Doodle the rooster is gone! He is supposed to keep the weather feathers. Will Crystal the snow fairy find her magic feather and will Doodle be saved?

My favorite part is when a goblin held Crystal's feather in Kirsty's mom's friend's house.

I would recommend this book for girls ages 7-10.

Rating ****

ERUPTION Roland Smith

A team called STORM RUNNERS including Chase, his dad, and Nicole hear that a volcano is going to erupt. They went to it and faced many hard times. Finally they escaped and lived to tell the tale

The sadist part was when everyone thought chase died.

I would  not recommend this book for both boys and girls who are below 8.
