My Favorite Outer Space Kids Movie, ever!

Picture
Wall-E (2008)
When a lovable, lonely robot named WALL•E falls in love with a robot named EVE, he follows his heart all the way into outer space!

It might be a cheesy description but watching the emotions of that little robot as he goes from Earth, to space, to Earth again, kills me every time.

And yes, WALL-E made me cry like every PIXAR movie always manages to do. I just want to bring Wall-E home and let him drive around my house and scare the cat and take out my trash and be the perfect, little Wall-E you never knew you needed :)

My Favorite Fairy Tale Book (right now)

Picture
Age: 12+   Series: Lunar Chronicles (4 books + 2 novellas in all)

Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing. A deadly plague ravages the population. From space, a ruthless lunar people watch, waiting to make their move. No one knows that Earth’s fate hinges on one girl....
​Cinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. She’s a second-class citizen with a mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister’s illness. But when her life becomes intertwined with the handsome Prince Kai’s, she finds herself at the center of an intergalactic struggle, and a forbidden attraction. 

Cinder (Cinderella), Scarlett (Little Red Riding Hood), Cress (Rapunzel), and Winter (Snow White). 

​I'm on my third read-through :)

My Favorite Pirate Book:

Picture
Age: 9+   Series: Edge Chronicles (12 books in all)

When thirteen-year-old Twig discovers that he was abandoned at birth by an unknown outsider, he leaves his woodtroll family behind and sets off on a journey through and beyond the dangerous Deepwoods. As he makes his way through a nightmarish world of goblins and trogs, bloodthirsty beasts and flesh-eating trees, only two things keep Twig going: the mystery of his identity and the promise of a heroic destiny ...

and skypirates ... don't forget the skypirates ... the ruthless pirates who ride around in airborne ships, patrolling the 'edge' as well as upwards to 'Sanctaphrax', the city in the sky ...

The pencil illustrations are beautiful, the story moves well, there's a whole series of books (12 in all) and I thoroughly enjoyed each and every one of them.
