We’ve recieved several great reviews from the Metamorphosis SRP crew. Click MORE to read them all
I’m reviewing The Wanderer by Sharon Creech. The book is about Sophie (an orphan who has forgotten her past), Brian and Cody (Sophie’s Cousins. Brian loves charts and Cody is very athletic.), and Uncle Mo, Uncle Stew, and Uncle Dock. It tells through Sophie and Cody’s journal entries the story of their sail to england on an old boat, The Wanderer. I enjoyed this book because the characters are realistic and humorous. I recommend this book to anyone. While telling the tale of a dangerous sailing adventure, it also tells the story of two kids trying to find their place in the world.

When given a Potions book that once belonged to Half-blood Prince, Harry is surprised to find the book is been corected. Potions are muddled with, and ingrediants are tampered with… but surprisingly it all works! Suddenly Harry is the best in Potions. But Hermione Granger feels that there is something wrong with the book. Harry’s scheduel is suddenly fuller than ever with Quidditch practice, slug club, and lessons with Dumbledore.
