The Tyrant's Daughter by J.C Carleson

Laila was a teenager that had to deal with adult situations. She was brought to America to escape her homeland where it was in turmoil .  She not only had to adapt to American ways but learn of the things her father did because he was a ruler in their country. Some americans don't understand ho things can be in other lands . All we know are good, happy times . Home of the free.

I enjoyed reading about this families life it brings you to realize all life is not happy fun and free. Much goes on we never see or hear about and I guess until it touches us we can be happy every day .  Thank you America and those giving up their lives so I can be free.

The Department of Magic by Rod Kier Kegaard Jr.

Farah and Rocky are competing for a job that they don't quite know what the job is yet . Their boss Crawly tells them it surveying he takes

them to lunch then is killed. Farah and Roc decided to work together to find out what happened to Crawly.While doing this they stumble upon

things they can't believe are true one of them being Crawly lives. Crawly introduces them to many things ,he teaches them how to survive

against evil creatures that want to take over the world. Crawly wants to bring George Washington back to life. He believes with the right

magic and alignment of the moon and stars and buildings and such it will work and George will save America. Rocky fathers a baby with Bobbi

,Farahs best friend who gets turned into a vampire by the man who wants to rule the world. They have to take care of the half vampire /human

baby which is very hard. Roc and Farah fall in love as they manage to take care of the baby. They go on dangerous capers and get attacked

but seem to survive Now do they save the world? Maybe

I thought this story was very well organized in time. Meaning extremely creative,linking vampires and the destruction of America back to

George Washington. Of course there has always been magic but not that anyone has ever believed it or actually admitted it I really enjoyed

the story. All the lining up of the stars confused me when they brought George back to life but I understand why.  For me that;s all that

matters. I'm hoping there is another book I didn't want it to end the way it did not knowing. Would love to know how Tink grows up. All the

creatures out there we don't notice are hard to believe but I might walk a little faster past people with a shopping cart on 5th st.
