I love these books! When young Star is born a black Pegasus in the land of Anok, the other pegasi wisper about his fate. In Anok, the black Pegasus is either born to bring the herds together in peace, or it is born to destroy everything and everyone. Most pegasi want him dead before his first birthday, not wanting to risk him being a destroyer, but a few adore Star and want to help him. The series is action packed and full of adventure and thrills! Definitely hard to put these books down!

There's another time for another adventure with now grown 20 years old Vesper Holly with her guardian, Brinnie Garrett as they set out for an adventure initiated from President (former) General Ulysses S. Grant to try and foil the massive extortion and terrorism plot which was targeted the 1876 Centennial Exposition of Philadelphia. But what's the plot behind this story? Dr. Helvitius had risen once again, but this time, he kidnapped two children from the emperor of Brazil then threatened to kill other world leaders as another reason for this adventure was to try and stop him once again. Chaos, comedy, but also final adventure with Vesper Holly and Brinnie as we officially close this type of chapter with Vesper Holly. I truly do enjoy this series as I get into the depth, giving me the laughs, or even shaking my head when they said something amusing. - Happy Reading!

I really enjoy Gordon Korman’s novels, because they are filled with humor, adventure, plot twists, and much more. This one has different points of view per chapter, and is an amazing read for middle-school book-lovers. Well, you don’t have to be a book-lover to enjoy this phenomenal book. It is about this school that is miles away from any other town, much less a city. And nothing ever exciting really happens there. But one day, someone finds a swastika graffitied IN THEIR SCHOOL. Who would do such a thing? But it’s not that big of a deal, right? For there’s only one swastika. Someone will cover it up, and nothing will have happened. But then another swastika appears. And another. Soon, the whole school is swimming in swastikas. And to add on to Chokecherry’s problems, some not-so-nice things happened in their past: things that make these swastikas a bigger deal than before. Will the students of Chokecherry go back to the way things were, before all the swastikas, or will they always have people to remember the horrible things that went down?

I chose this book because I, personally, really enjoy Gordon Korman’s novels. This one, in particular, is about this kid named Keenan, and he and his mom travel all around the world for her job. But, when Keenan gets tuberculosis, he has to stay with his dad in a boring town called Centerlight. And while Kennan is recovering from TB, another character, Zarabeth(otherwise known as ZeeBee), is talking her head off about how her dog, Barney, got murdered; but no one believes her because she also talks about the most useless stuff there is to talk about. After Keenan recovers, he realizes that ZeeBee may not be that far from the truth after all. In this Korman book, there is mystery, humor, and adventure for middle-school readers. I definitely recomend. 👍😁

I loved this book! It is about five kids who got into detention. There's Addy, the beautiful girls who does nothing but rely on her boyfriend, Jake. Bronwyn, the smart A plus student. Nate, who is a criminal with family problems. Cooper, a jock who has a perfect girlfriend, Keely. And Simon, who is the creator of Bayview high's gossip app, About That. But only four leave alive. Simon drank a cup of water which possibly had what he was allergic to, and he died. Police suspect a murder. I don't want to spoil you, but the ending was suprising. Would recommend it for 10 to 16, or anyone who liked A Good Girl's Guide to Murder.
