    This is a very interesting book, and I love books that include stories inside them. This actually takes place in an inn, where many different types of people tell stories of three young children, and a dog, named Gwenforte, which is a very strange name for a dog. The stories include the three children, and their dog, and talk about their adventures. These children are special: From seeing the future, to having supernatural powers, to healing any wound, these children are remarkable creatures. From adventures with dragons, to kings, to castles (in the year 1242), these kids have experienced it all. Each chapter is a different part, told by a different person. I would recommend this book to people who like fairytales, fiction, and a bit of adventure!

    Evolution and religion are two totally different things :) But yeah, I suppose you can believe in either one or both.

    felicisowl's book review was featured in Gertie's Leap to Greatness.
    "She, Gertie Reece Foy, was going to be the greatest fifth grader in the whole school, world, and universe! And that was just Phase One." Most people are scared of heights or spiders or something considered even REMOTELY frightening - but then again, Gertie Reece Foy isn't normal.. in the best possible way, of course. It's safe to say that she was.. rather intimidated by a blindingly white "For Sale" sign situated in her mother's well-kept front yard. It's funny, really, that a sign (or a Mary Sue Spivey) could get in the way of Gertie's insanely complicated "plan" for world domination.. but the truth is, Gertie can't deny that she's a lot more.. human than people think. But what she doesn't realize is that others aren't as "perfect" either - EVERYONE has problems of their own, but some are better at hiding their fears.. especially one Rachel Collins. "Gertie's Leap of Greatness" made me cry. No, really - Gertie has a heart of gold, you just have to dig a little to find her "soft part." On the outside, she seems like a seven-year-old in a fifth-grader's body - you have to admit, she has a HUGE ego and kind of likes taking people down.. some people might find her intolerable, even by the end of the book... but that's kind of what makes her fun. A hilarious, "short and sweet" debut - read!

    You can't change people's minds on Donald Trump. They think what they think, and you think what you think :) It just works that way.
