Unhooked by Lisa Maxwell- Part One Book Series

"My life was, has been a series of poorly timed moves for as long as I can remember. But something about this place has me pausing." -Lisa Maxwell

I have been reading some Disney inspired books lately. I decided to start a series of blog posts called Book Series. The books are not part of a series it's just individual books I have been reading. 

So if you are a fan of Peter Pan you will probably like this book. It is a dark twisted tale about Neverland and the creatures living there. Hook and Peter Pan are characters in this book, but they are not the traditional characters Disney lovers have come to know. 

This story is definitely darker than the Disney version of Peter Pan, but it still has details that are from the movie. As you read it, you can definitely catch the inspiration. The book centers attention around the main character and her mysterious life. I don't want to say too much without spoiling anything. 

You get to know a little bit more about "hook" and Pan and how they became enemies. The story gives an awesome twist on their relationship. I also loved seeing their sides separately and the relationships they have gained throughout the story. 

There are many books out there that seem to have similar stories to this one that I would love to read as well. 

But I would definitely recommend this book to any Disney lovers out there or just anyone that likes a good book full of action and mysterious creatures. Next book post to come next week.

Know Who You Are...Moana Movie Review

"See that line where the sea meets the sky, it calls me..." ~Moana

Moana...In my opinion was a great movie.

Don't worry this post won't include any spoilers.

I saw this movie the day it came out in theaters. I know this review is late...sorry. I just wanted to share my thoughts. So in honor of the DVD release being March 7th, here is my review.

I fell in the love with this movie when I saw it. The characters, the soundtrack, the animation. Everything in this movie was visually pleasing. The music was created by the amazing Lin-Manuel Miranda. the soundtrack is a great album to listen to when doing, anything! The lyrics and the beats make it a fun music choice for the day. The actors/singers voices are great as well.

Moana is a strong female character played by Auli'i Cravalho, who by the way is the perfect choice for this role. She looks just like the animated character and the company didn't even find her to voice the character until the animation was created. Moana lives life with an open mind. She shows her interest of the sea from when she was a little girl. She sets forth on her goals and doesn't stop until she accomplishes them. This is an important lesson for everyone all around the world. Set goals to accomplish in life, live out your dreams and create your journey the way you want it to be and be happy with who you are. I am not saying you should go about your goals the exact way she did *disobeying her parents*, but in a way you can do it without disrespecting those around you. This movie also shows that you can become friends with anyone even if it doesn't seem likely at the time.

So live life to the fullest and know who you are.

Let me know what you guys thought about this movie. Leave your comments below, I would love to hear from you!
