What If and Escaping Peril

Two for one! Normally I would just do one blog, but Escaping Peril is so awesome it deserves 10000 blogs, and everyone knows I read it 2 weeks ago.

     What If is an amazing, funny book that demonstrates what would happen when someone with extreme scientific knowledge becomes an Internet cartoonist and answers silly hypothetical questions submitted to him. Questions include:

  • How much Force power does Yoda have?
  • What would happen if you made a Periodic Table of the Elements out of cube bricks of each element?
  • What would happen if a pitcher threw a baseball at 90% the speed of light?



     Escaping Peril is book eight of the Wings of Fire series. Peril has lived her whole life killing other dragons. It didn't bother her until she met Clay. Then her whole life went upside down. She was banished from her home, the person she served went missing, and she is expected to be careful of injuring other dragons with her deadly firescales, instead of them watching out for her. Then she meets Turtle on a mission to impress Clay, get redeemed in the eyes of everyone, and have her banishment revoked. The annoying SeaWing is the only one to like her besides Clay (and Sunny, though she finds the SandWing to annoying to consider a friend), and is determined to follow her on the mission. Peril learns to wonder what makes her herself, and what makes a dragon a hero.

  1. I like how detailed your descriptions for each book are. I need to get around to reading The Wings of Fire series. Both are going onto my TBR. Nice reviews!
