What I liked most about "Strange Magic" was that it wasn't like the other "fairy" tales. (Hahha get it... because this one actually has faries in it) Anyway, it doesn't have the fixed characters of heroes and villians. The heroes and villians both go through a change,but they all get their happy endings. It all focuses on Marianne the fairy princess, and how after being cheated on by her fiance, Roland, she promises to "never fall in love again". She changes her whole image, starting with the menacing purple eye shadow. As Marianne changes, she has to go on an adventure to save her sister (Dawn) from the "Bog King", whom has taken her into the dark forest. This all started from Sunny ( Dawn's secret admirer) making a forbidden love potion. She goes through the story with other characters; Roland trying to win her love so he can have an army, and my favorite charcater was the imp, the mouse like creature, who reminded me of the squirrell from "Ice Age". Everything played a part in leading up to Marianne and the Bog King falling in love. This was something I really liked because villians can get happy endings too, and it showded you can find love in unexpected places. The only thing I didn't like about this movie was the lack of information of the Bog King's first love, it didn't really tell much about how he got how he was. Really, if you like other Disney movies like Frozen (a girl changing and locking herself away; falls in love with the wrong guy; falls in love with the unexpected guy;that one funny animal;two sisters), or even the humor in "Ice Age." I think this movie was fun to watch (especially the modern songs) and I would recommend it to someone who wants a quick, adventuress story where several people can be a hero and where you should never judge a book by it's cover.

This book starts out with a brother and sister who, after rightfully pulling a trick on their cruel nanny, are dropped off on the side of the road by their father. Don't be fooled, their father realizes he didn't like when he was left there for 20 minutes as a child, so he turns back to only crash his car and get amnesia. What kids? The kids wonder upon this school, Witherwood to wait for their father. But, it utrns out this school is built on mid control and atop a mysterious mesa. What is on the third floor? What are all those mysterious creatures that come out at night? Where do all the older kids go? Why won't they let you leave? This book really kept me on my feet, however you don't really get any answers. It is only really a prequel to set you up for book 2. If you are ok with reading the second book also, I would DEFINETLY reccomend this book.

I think it would be cool to win this book to learn about why these people wore these different clothing thoughout time.

I have read Shannon Hale's other Princess Academy books and loved them, and I would love to get my hands on this book and be one of the lucky winners.
