Discussing Nothin’ Goes Right the Night Before Christmas by John and Dan Bell
My Review Summary:
Key Takeaways from the video:
I'm reviewing Nothin’ Goes Right the Night Before Christmas, a comic retelling of the classic story based on Rodney Dangerfield’s comedy, written by Dan and John Bell.
The book is aimed at ages baby to 12, though some humour—like smelly or “dog poo” jokes—might appeal more to certain age groups than others.
I appreciated that it raises an important point for discussion with children: not everyone experiences a perfect Christmas with lots of presents, and the book gently introduces this idea.
Overall, I gave it three stars. It’s an original, humorous take on a classic story with some funny moments, though not all jokes will land with everyone.
I found it enjoyable and thought it could spark meaningful conversations with kids about gratitude and realistic expectations over the holiday season.

The book synopsis for Spelled by Betsy Schow
Somewhere over the rainbow, all spell is about to break loose in the first installment of this clever and hilarious YA fairy tale retelling trilogy, perfect for fans of Dorothy Must Die and Jen Calonita's Fairy Tale Reform School series
Fairy Tale Survival Rule #32: If you find yourself at the mercy of a wicked witch, sing a romantic ballad and wait for your Prince Charming to save the day.
Yeah, no thanks. Dorothea is completely princed out. Sure, being the crown princess of Emerald has its perks—like Glenda Original ball gowns and Hans Christian Louboutin heels. But a forced marriage to the not-so-charming prince Kato is so not what Dorthea had in mind for her enchanted future.
Talk about unhappily ever after.
Trying to fix her prince problem by wishing on a (cursed) star royally backfires, leaving the kingdom in chaos and her parents stuck in some place called "Kansas." Now it's up to Dorthea and her pixed off prince to find the mysterious Wizard of Oz and undo the curse...before it releases the wickedest witch of all and spells The End for the world of Story.
Fast-paced and delightfully unique, Spelled is perfect for readers looking for:

This book was so far from what I expected, but that’s not a bad thing. I was expected a loose retelling of The Wizard of Oz and while all my favorite elements are there, it isn’t a retelling at all. - Read the full review at Mom With A Reading Problem
Overall, this book was epic beyond words – seriously, I had so much trouble finding the right words for this review, it’s not even funny. This review in no way does this book justice. - Read the full review at Pandora's Books
The story is well written and engaging; the fast pace makes it quite the page turner, and the author presents just enough at the right time that we are able to follow within getting either lost or feel drowned. - Read the full review at Sahar's Blog

Book synopsis for Second Star to the Left by Megan Van Dyke
Tinker Bell, banished from her homeland for doing the unthinkable, selling the hottest drug in Neverland—pixie dust—wants absolution.
Determined to find a way home, Tink doesn’t hesitate to follow the one lead she has, even if that means seducing a filthy pirate to steal precious gems out from under his…hook.
Captain Hook believes he’s found a real treasure in Tink. That is, until he recovers from her pixie dust laced kiss with a curse that turns the seas against him. With his ship and reputation at the mercy of raging storms, he tracks down the little minx and demands she remove the curse. Too bad she can’t.
However, the mermaid queen has a solution to both of their problems, if Tink and Hook will work together to retrieve a magical item for her.
As they venture to the mysterious Shrouded Isles to find the priceless treasure, their shared nemesis closes in. However, his wrath is nothing compared to the realization that achieving their goal may mean losing something they never expected to find—each other.
