Είχα ακούσει για το βιβλίο «Η Άλλη Σταχτοπούτα» όμως δεν έτυχε… Read More «Η Άλλη Χιονάτη» από την Jennifer Donnelly #BookReview

Γράφει η Γεωργία Κωστοπούλου Μετά το «Μια στάλα μαγεία» που διάβασα πέρυσι, μαγεύτηκα από τη γραφή της Michelle Harrison τόσο πολύ που ανυπομονούσα να κυκλοφορήσει και το επόμενο βιβλίο της σειράς και να δω σε τι περιπέτειες μπλέκουν και πάλι οι αδερφές Γουίντερσινς! Αυτή τη φορά η ιστορία μας ξεκινάει με την ιστορία μιας… Read More «Η πυξίδα της μάγισσας» από τη Michelle Harrison #BookReview
