School Friends are Forever!

Hello everyone,
Today I'll be reviewing the School Friends series by Ann Bryant.
Silver Spires is a humongous school with many boarding houses: Beech, Oakley, Forest Ash, Hazeldean, Willowhaven, and Elmhurst. Each have different dorms with precious stone names.
There are two School Friends series by Ann Bryant.
Series One is about the girls in Amethyst dorm in the boarding house Hazeldean. Katy, Georgie, Mia, Naomi and Jess are all different yet they are all friends. All of them have their own story to tell and different passions. Pretty Katy loves fashion, hilarious Georgie can act, wise princess Naomi helps everybody, sporty Grace participates- and wins- competitions, musical Mia can play multiple instruments and daydreamer Jess is a great artist. All of them have secrets and hopes, dreams and determination.
These six girls have all sorts of problems, and they always help each other.
Books in this series are First Term at Silver Spires, Drama at Silver Spires, Rivalry at Silver Spires, Princess at Silver Spires, Secrets at Silver Spires and Star of Silver Spires.
Series Two is about the girls in Emerald dorm in the house Forest Ash.
Nicole, Izzy, Emily, Antonia, Sasha and Bryony are best friends who share secrets with each other. They know that together, they can do anything. Meet brainy Nicole, talented Izzy, feisty Emily,
bi-lingual Antonia, water-loving Sasha and tomboy Bryony.
The books in this series are Party at Silver Spires, Dancer at Silver Spires, Dreams at Silver Spires, Magic at Silver Spires, Success at Silver Spires and Mystery at Silver Spires.
Ann Bryant has also written the Ballerina Dreams series, William the Crack Shot Kid, Billy and the Parent Plan and many more.
I recommend this series for ages 9-12.
I like this series because of the description of the settings and plot and the jokes that are in it, although I personally like the first series better!

You're Invited to a Creepover...Again!

Hey guys,
Okay, I know that I already reviewed You're Invited to a Creepover: Ready for A Scare? way back in July 2014, but since then I have read more than two books of the same series and have decided to review the series itself now by P.J. Night.
Could you imagine that you are having a fun sleepover that suddenly turned into a- brr- a creepover. I sure can't! But I'm pretty sure that the girls in the creepover series can, since they've been in creepovers themselves!
Meet Abby, who's being haunted by a dead girl who lived in her neighborhood. Or knock on Emily's door, prepared to meet her and maybe her new friends... Log onto Kelly's webcam sleepover, if you dare, and disappear in a gust of peppermint aroma. Join Jenna's sleepover, maybe, and wait for the Marked Monster.
Werewolves, ghosts, vampires, zombies... each book has a different plot and story.
These books are rated usually from 3 to 5 on the Creep-o-meter.
Not much is known about the author P.J. Night except that he or she is a night owl and works in the early mornings to write these books (as written in Simon and Schuster). Some books of the series are Truth or Dare, You Can't Come in Here!, What a Doll!, The House Next Door, Your Worst Nightmare and many more.
I like these books a lot because they have good plots and they're really creepy (maybe P.J. Night really does work at night in a dark mansion). I recommend this series for tweens and ages 9 to 12.
Can't wait to get my hands on the next nightmare in the series...
