Okay, so I actually got this book only because I'm a huge Harry Potter fan, and my mom thought I would like a book written by the same author. And I did. But honestly, if you're only looking for a book that's a lot like the Harry Potter books, then this book may not be for you. Because while the story is great and the characters are interesting, it's also got a much different style and mood than HP. You see, this book is much more based in the world of royalty and society/economics rather than a bunch of magical creatures and places. In fact, the titular Ickabog is the only fantasy-ish thing about this book in my opinion, and we don't even see the real thing until we're over halfway through the book. And most of the time, the story is about real-world scenarios rather than fantasy, such as with Ma Grunter's Orphanage, the various cities and their specialties, and the many, many different political positions in King Fred's palace. So if you're looking for an action-packed, magical wonderland adventure, then this book way out of your zone. But if you want to read a genuinely well-told story about greed and love and family and lots of political discussion (taxes, anyone?) then you're gonna love this book. Oh, and it's got pictures drawn by children in it, too, so that's a bonus.

Great show. If you haven't seen it, you gotta check it out. May seem like just a show for toddlers, but darn it if they don't have some of the most relatable moments for parents that will either make them laugh like a baby or sob like one. Plus, the animation is just wonderful, and the characters make you wanna play musical statues til ya pass out. Please watch, and fingers crossed for the movie! P.S. Don't let anyone give you hate for watching this show if you're an adult or teenager with no children. I'm 17, I watch this show by myself willingly, and I have absolutely no regrets whatsoever.

What I like most about Pixar is when it does things different from the standard. Not just a happy tale where the good guy gets it all in the end. And this series manages to do that perfectly. With every episode, it totally destroys my expectations, with it's surprisingly serious themes, expertly intertwined format, beautiful animation, killer soundtrack, and a story for each character that just pulls you in and dares you to let go. And it doesn't even play out like typical Pixar films do, with episodes containing some of the most serious material you wouldn't expect in a regular animated movie - or series, for that matter. Honestly, some of the moments they pull got it feeling less like a kids show and more like a award-worthy drama series you'd find on Netflix or Amazon Prime. So yeah, Win or Lose is a great show, that manages to take the challenges regular kids series face each year, and win every time. Would definitely recommend, please watch.

A lot of people are hating on It Wasn't Me for it's "stereotypical" character types, when in reality, it these stereotypes that bring life to each of these characters, fleshing them out wonderfully for us to sympathize with and help give us a background to solve this mystery. If anything, the one over-stereotypical character in this book is it's antagonist, Mrs. Davis, who's so hateable it's sort of mean - but also makes it more fun for us to see her be constantly annoyed and foiled.
