 ACROSS THE BRIDGE OF ICE by RUTH FOX Publisher:  Hague Publishing Date:  January 31st 2015   Rating: 3.0 The book starts with a visit to the doctor's office as Keira's ankle was injured during a wild snowstorm after which she had started to get strange dreams.

No Ordinary Boy: Dragons, Magic and King Arthur by Tracey Mayhew  Publisher: Sweet Cherry Publishing Date: September 17th 2020 (Expected) Ratings: 4.0 This is the first book in the series which is a retelling of the adventures of Merlin and King Arthur written for children with amazing illustrations for greater understanding and it also provides a great introduction to these legends.  We start our journey with Merlin's backstory and the path he took before meeting Arthur. Merlin is just a sweet young boy with supernatural powers who tries to help the villagers but is still feared by them due to his extraordinary powers. He is taking away from the village by the knights of the King thus beginning his magical journey of transforming into a powerful magician.

As it is told from Merlin's point of view we get to see the world through his eyes and it fee...
