Bethany Church has a secret, one that she must keep hidden from those around her at all costs. She is an angel. Bethany and two other angels, Gabriel and Ivy are sent to earth with one mission: bring good to Venus Cover, a small town with he gradual brimming of evil. The three angels attempt to conceal their otherworldly powers, effervescent glow, and vast wings, but they know that above all, they must steer clear of all possible human entanglements. Bethany didn’t anticipate any possible hiccups, until she meets Xavier Woods, a human like no one she has ever met before.

Fire and Heist is a novel about sixteen-year-old Sky Hawkins, who is a wyvern: a human that has the ability to transform into a dragon. Unfortunately, most wyverns nowadays have lost that ability. What they haven’t lost, however, is their culture of stealing—in wyvern society, leading your first heist is the most important milestone of your life, and it determines everything about where you belong in the wyvern social order.

Finding Nemo is one of my favorite childhood movies because it tells an amazing adventure across the ocean. The movie starts with Marlin trying to protect his son Nemo, a clown fish, who has one fin of less than average size; Nemo ends up being captured and lands in a fishbowl with other apprehended and imprisoned fish accompanying him. Nemo’s dad, Marlin, travels across the immeasurable ocean along with a new friend he made named Dory who suffers from short-term memory loss.

This is my favorite Spider-Man movie. After Avengers Endgame, Peter Parker has no mentor. In this new Spiderman movie Peter Parker is trying to overcome his sadness for losing Iron Man. He meets a new “superhero” named Mysterio who resembles a mentor quality of Tony Stark. Spiderman puts his trust in Mysterio only to be betrayed later. I had a spectacular time watching Spider-Man Far From Home because it was funny and entertaining.

The fifth season of LEGO Ninjago Masters of Spinjitzu was spooky/amazing. This season introduced a new threat that appeared at the end of season four. As I learned what this ghost wants throughout the season, I also learned newer information about Sensei Wu’s past. Now the ninja do not have their powers because a ghost named Morro possessed Lloyd. Moro is after the realm crystal that is in the first Spinjitzu Masters resting place with a location of unknown origin.
