The Poppy Mayberry series is a Middle-Grade book written by Jennie K. Brown, and “Return to Power Academy” is the second installment.

Poppy Mayberry by Jennie K. Brown is my first 194 pages towards my Page Challenge from Book Dragon’s Lair. In case you didn’t read my previous post about this challenge, I’m only aiming for Bonsai Level which is 12,000 pages. So I just have to read about 65 more books this length. EEEK.

So, another thanks to Book Dragons Lair for putting this challenge out there.

Poppy Mayberry is a Monday child. Sounds cool right? It is, only it took me a while to admit. I didn’t think I was going to like this book. So why do I own a book I didn’t think I’d enjoy? Let me flashback a bit. Continue reading “Poppy Mayberry”
