So I know that Robert Hardy died close to a month ago, however I still need to make my tribute to the actor who played Minster of Magic Cornelius Fudge and so many more notable roles throughout his acting career. So this is my farewell to Fudge. Many of us may only know him as Fudge the cowardly, deceptive minister who was almost thrown out of the window by Margret Thatcher, but he was so much more. He played in several T.V. shows throughout his career such as a major role All Creatures Great and Small and Midsomer Murders. He was also in Shakespeare's play The Tempest. In short this man was one of the most successful British actors of his time. How the Queen did not knight him but knighted so many others of his caliber is beyond me. So Farewell to the bumbling fool that was Minster of Magic Cornelius Fudge.
Farewell my dear bibliophiles,

Dragon's Green Scarlett Thomas
Hola!
This is a PRODIGIOUS book! First of all I fell in love with the names of the main characters. My favorite is Euphemia Sixten Bookend Truelove. Some of the other magnetic names are: Raven Wilde, Wolf Reed, Alexa Bottle, and the "quite unmagical name", and yet it is still magnetic, Maximilian Underwood. My favorite minor character name is either Orwell Bookend, Odile Underwood, Mrs. Breathag Hide, or Skylurian Midzhar. Who knows maybe she'll become important in the next book?
So here's the long and short of the book. Effie, Euphemia, has to stay with her Grandfather Griffin Truelove. He believes in magic but rebuffs her pleas to teach her magic. He is attacked and subsequently taken to the hospital. All his very valuable books except one are taken by Leonard Levar. So Effie, Wolf, Lexy, Maximilian, and Raven have to get the books back and save the world, maybe?
My reccomendation is fifth to eighth graders or those with reading comprehension there abouts. Note this book gets rather confusing about a quarter of the way through, keep it in mind. My rating is 10/10 Paw Prints 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
Adios for now my bibliophiles,
