Keeper of the Lost Cities

Hello fellow readers!
The Keeper of the Lost Cities books are one of my favorite series! It is about a girl named Sophie who finds out she is an elf. I would tell you more, but it's such a good series that you have to read it yourself. I love this series and when the 6th book (Nightfall) came out on October 7th I was ecstatic!
Happy reading!

   Hi! One of my favorite series is the Willow Falls series. There are four books and each one is about a different girl, but they all go to the same middle school so they know of each other. All four girls are involved in an intriguing mystery about Willow Falls and eventually meet to solve it together. I recommend this series to tween girls. Happy reading! ~ Devyn

Hello! So, for school, we had to do an African country report. One of the ways we presented our country to the rest of the class was to make a dish from our country and we had an African feast. My country was South Africa, so I made Ystervarkies. "Ystervarkie" means "hedgehog" in Afrikaans. A ystervarkie (the dessert) is a sponge cake coated in a chocolate syrup then rolled in coconut flakes. The coconut flakes are what is supposed to make this dessert resemble a hedgehog, but I don't really think it does. Regardless, they were delicious and I will definitely be making them again! Ystervarkies (South African lamingtons) Makes 25 ystervarkies. Ingredients Sponge cake: 3 tablespoons oil 1/3 cup (85 ml) milk 3 jumbo eggs or 4 smallish eggs 1 cup (250 ml) sugar 1 ½ cup (375 ml) flour 1 ½ teaspoons (7 ml) baking powder ½ teaspoon (2 ml) salt 1 teaspoon vanilla Syrup: ¾ cup (180 ml) boiling water 1 ½ cups (375 ml) sugar ½ t
