This was my introduction not only to the musical but also to the story. While I found it a bit depressing at times and overly singy once or twice (I know, I know), I thought it was well done and worth seeing.

Trixie and her friends are spending the week between Christmas and New Year’s at a ski lodge in Vermont. But when they are greeted by an ominous warning, it appears there is more happening here than meets the eye. The plot is great with some twists I didn’t expect – at least the first time I read it. The characters are their true selves as well. The pacing of the book could be better, but it’s still one of the better of the later books.

I didn’t quite like this one the first time I watched it, but it’s grown on me. A bit different for a musical, but it works with some classic songs.

This movie is certainly good, but I loved the original Spider-Man, and 10 years isn’t enough to erase that from my mind.

Danvers hates his life, especially since no one appreciates his attempts to create stunts that his idol, Gonzo, would love. But one morning Danvers wakes up as a Muppet. What is happening? And how will his life change? I found the book to be a very fast read, the large number of pictures certainly helped. Yet, I also found it quite funny. Any fan of the Muppets will enjoy it, down to the elementary school target audience.

Mrs. Pollifax and her husband Cyrus are hours away from a vacation to Thailand when Bishop shows up asking if they could possibly make one small detour for the CIA. Of course, things go wildly wrong when Cyrus is kidnapped and Mrs. Pollifax has to hunt for him with a man she doesn’t trust. The plot to this one is a little different. The scenes with Bishop and Carstairs drive it more than Mrs. Pollifax’s action does. As a result, it’s not as good as the classic books in the series, but it’s still fun.

This is really a typical Disney sequel. It’s nice enough for die hard fans of the original, but it doesn’t add much to the origial in the long run.

This is a highly dramatized true story about a woman who doesn’t let a horrid accident keep her from pursuing her dreams. Thanks to the Disney touch, it might be too sweet for some, but it is a great movie if you are in the mood.

All nine of these short stories have been previous released, but I got a kick out of them because I hadn’t read them before. From a murder at the North Pole to a suspicious mall Santa and a murderous fruitcake, this one has it all. Some humor and light crime – what could be more perfect at Christmas?

The authors take their Peter Pan prequels to the era we know best as Peter must team up with Wendy to save Molly, George, and all of England from a new threat still after the star stuff. If you’ve enjoyed the others in the YA series, you’ll certainly enjoy this one. The multiple plots actually seemed to compliment each other, and I always had a hard time putting the book down.
