Dog Man: Lord of the Fleas: From the Creator of Captain Underpants (Dog Man #5)
By Dav Pilkey
I love Dog Man. I started reading the books in 4th grade when I was introduced to it. I was given a free paper dog man book with 33 pages. Anyways, I loved it. I bought two hardcover books for a total of $20. I read them both in one hour. My brother's school had a book fair and he bought to for $20, as well. Same thing happened with him, he read them both in one hour. I love these books, but that's just too much money for, 1. something (I know it purposely looks like that) that does not look like it took too much time to make, 2. something that takes you 30 minutes to read, 3 something that does not have many pages. Dog Man is the best, and I have read this one, it's about the adventures with his cat friends. I would definitely recommend that if you have not yet read the other books, I think you should before you read this one because you can get a better understanding of everything. I also have some pros and cons about the books for younger children, one of the cons is that they don't use "proper" language, but a pro about this book for younger children is that it does not take long to read, it's humorous, and it does not use a lot of big words, only one or two a book. Closing, I just don't think that this book is worth $10 dollars just for you to read it in 30 minutes. I am not trying to hate on Dog Man, y'all!! This review was thought out, and took time to be written, so please respect that. Follow me to get the inside scoop about books!! Bye y'all!! ☺

By Anthony Horowitz
Remi Shehab
Great book if your taste is adventure. Alex is a fourteen year old boy whose parents were killed so his uncle looked after him. Little did Alex know that they were all training him to become a spy so Mr Alan Blunt who is the chief executive of MI6 special operations and he asks Alex on mission after the next. On his first mission book1 STORMBREAKER, Alex is sent to investigate Herod Sayle who invented stormbreaker computers but for a purpose that could result in lots of schoolchildren dead. Several missions Alex finds himself on a mission he set himself. I have read now eight Alex Riders and it is best u read the, in order. My favorite is Book three skeleton key which is him sent to go to investigate around General Alexei Sarov but finds himself in a life or death situation. If adventure is your favorite genre then I recommend giving these a try.
Ignite Me (Shatter Me)
By Tahereh Mafi
From the ashes, she is rising. In Juliette there's kindling made of strength from training, there's oxygen from an air of willingness to fight, and finally a spark of suppressed power ready to be unleashed and ignite a fire that burns the Re-establishment down. I enjoyed this book much more than the first one, as Juliette undergoes major character development that makes her ten times more like-able. She goes from weak and cowering, to fierce and courageous. And as the plot progresses with her, it really engages the reader and calls focus to all the tiny details in the story. But I won't spoil anything ;). And as any good dystopian book has one, the slow-burn love interest Warner and Juliette's relationship is so delicately written it's almost a work of art. It seems that Tahereh Mafi's writing has improved so much from book one to book two, and is definitely recommended for anybody searching for a new YA read. Where there's smoke, there's fire, where there's fire, there's uproar and commotion, and where uproar and commotion in a subdued dystopian neighborhood, there's Juliette, Warner, and their team.
Explorer Academy Vela: The Sailor Cipher (Book 1)
By Trudi Trueit
This novel was not only intriguing; with a nice blend of science and fantasy, The Sailor Cipher would interest most of those looking for a technologically-based story with a hint of suspense. When Sailor York returns for her second year of studies at the prestigious school, she expects a year-long adventure filled with excitement and wonder - certainly not a missing big sister. As she uncovers more about the details concerning her sibling's possible kidnapping, Sailor finds herself caught in the middle of a dangerous game filled with rival factions. And her external struggles are only compounded by her own story: Sailor has a secret that she does not want to release, yet may have to in order to succeed in her missions. As a person who is always taken aback by the sheer progression of technology in the modern world, I enjoyed reading about the various new inventions and vehicles this book displayed. As being heavily based upon the work of actual National Geographic Society members, this series debut expertly pays homage to the organization's projects. The chapters are also well-organized, with each subplot complementing the others in their advancement. While the humor seems a little forced at times, this novel overall is a read you do not want to miss. I am definitely excited for the release of the next book in the series!
The Last Olympian (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 5)
By Rick Riordan
The author could very well be the Greek God of Literature, given how great this book is! This series was at one point my favorite, and "The Last Olympian" was the best of the five! Percy Jackson is approaching 16 years of age, and the prophecy that defined the series up to now is threatening to be realized. But Kronos and his forces are far from being complacent; rather, their efforts to topple the gods to usher a new titanic age are only becoming more prevalent. The previous accomplishments and victories of Percy and his allies pale in comparison to the one they must confront now: an onslaught of of the Titans and their reinforcements. The demigods know there will be hardship in the process, but it's either suffering for chance at peace--or a complete alteration of their lives for the worse. All of the author's books were great in my opinion, but this one is particularly notable for its strong ending; so many series I've read have it where the first few books are entertaining, but the later ones decline in quality. "The Last Olympian" doesn't suffer from that problem; in fact, I believe it is better than any of its predecessors save "The Lightning Thief" (and that only because it starts the series off strong). It perpetuates the lovable parts of the core characters and plot, while introducing other elements than enhance the progression of the story. Percy, Annabeth, and their comrades and enemies are consistent in their personalities, and while there are some portions where nonsensical magic interferes with a logical storyline, the decisions made by the characters (and especially the prophetic choice itself) incorporate an engaging reality to the narrative. Yet I also appreciate the incorporation of mythological elements. While pure magic I do not particularly enjoy, having powers continues to open more possibilities to Percy and the other characters--vastly more than a normal person would be able to enjoy. Reading this book has also latently given me knowledge about Greek mythology, some of which I still use today. It incorporates emotional turns as well as lots of action, and neither gets tiring at any point throughout the novel. I would definitely recommend this to people seeking an enjoyable read while learning simultaneously; in terms of educational value in combination with entertainment, I would refer to this book above all others. But I would also recommend it to those looking for just pure exuberance: it accomplishes that wish, and much more!
Steelheart (The Reckoners)
By Brandon Sanderson
WOW! This novel is very well written, and the plot and premise of the story are amazing! This is currently (and has been for a few years as well) my absolute favorite book! In a world of completely ordinary humans, there are super powerful men and women with abilities rivaling any comic book superhero—or rather, supervillain. Seemingly every one of them is sinister, and have no qualms with oppressing their inferior powerless human counterparts. Only a few regular folks called the Reckoners even dare to counter the menaces known as Epics, and David Charleston wants to join them. One certain Epic, Steelheart, had brutally murdered his father in front of him—and he wants revenge. But annihilating the equivalent of a god is no easy task; David will have to confront various relations and threats alike, as well as constantly adapt to fast-changing situations and dangerous environments, as he navigates the chance to take down the greatest Epic in history. I personally enjoy stories like the one presented in “Steelheart;” the progression of events and chapters is logical, and the individual episodes themselves combine to form a truly majestic read. No chapter seems forced, nor does any aspect of the novel throughout its entirety demonstrate replaceability. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book again and again, making it one of the very few I reread at all, much less multiple times. It is a unique mix of action and dramatic tension, and even has a sprinkling of comedy as well! These elements are blended extremely well in my opinion, making each major scene conspicuous and memorable and infusing the more minor developments with more than tolerable offerings for the reader to enjoy. The characters and their developments are also very well described and executed. There are some minor quirks and traits about them that I felt were added solely to advance the plot, but they mostly lived their roles. The dynamics between the characters, too, are worthy of note. David’s relationships with the Reckoners and others (and, in fact, the interactions between characters other than David) seem to positively vibrate with authenticity—the author does not form any more complexities in them than necessary, yet does not make them bare and bare and stoic either. The only notable grievance I must make about the book is the climax between David and Steelheart; while Epics have weaknesses that nullify or reduce their powers, the circumstances concerning Steelheart are not well-developed or supported by the rest of the novel. Other than that, though, I truly believe that this novel is an impeccable read. I would wholly and without reservation recommend it to anyone interested in a captivating and holistically entertaining book; for me, reading it was totally worth it!
The Titan's Curse (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 3) (0)
By Rick Riordan
Lots of adventure, that's just how I like my books. If you don't like adventure, fantasy then this probably isn't a book for you. But anyways, it shows friendship, and trusting your friends in hard situations. I hope you like this book as much as I did if you ever read it (I recommend you read the books before this in the series first).
Shatter Me
By Tahereh Mafi
Ok, so, to clarify, the book is really more of a 3.5 than three. The reason being, the book has so much hype built around it, receiving accolades like "best dystopian read" on platforms like booktok. And as a lover of a good book, I couldn't wait to buy and read it. And while the reader really does feel like they are in Juliette's chaotic mind, at points it also seems it's trying too hard to be deep. Which may just sound like picky-ness, but after 338 pages, it can feel like trying to put a square peg in a round hole. However, the plot is fast-paced, and keeps the fire alive without letting it fizzle out, and the dystopian world creates a sense of danger that is hard to replicate. On the other hand, the main character, Juliette, is slightly selfish, which is another reason why the book wasn't all it was made up to be. But, overall, Tahereh Mafi did a commendable job emulating a world of grays where all hope seems to be lost, but here, we have Juliette. Ready to set this dark world ablaze with her game-changing ability.
Journey on a Runaway Train (The Boxcar Children Great Adventure)
By Gertrude Chandler Warner
This book is really cool. Its kinda like a modern adaption of The Original Boxcar Children. The Orphans are recruited by a secret society and are supposed to return artifacts to the right place. The children go on an adventure around the globe. Its a fun and exciting book and I would recommend it to anyone who loves a good adventure!
