City of Ghosts

City of Ghosts

By Victoria Schwab

This is a very engaging book that sends chills up your spine. I have read it multiple times and loved every minute of it, even when it creeped me out a little bit. The main character is named Cassidy and her best friend is a ghost.....no she is not crazy.....Jacob is a real ghost. Ever since Cassidy drowned and Jacob saved her life she has been able to cross between the world of the living and the world of the dead. She calls this 'the veil' because in order to cross over she pulls on a curtain in the air and enters the ghost world. Whenever a ghost is in the veil she hears a tap-tap-tap and is pulled towards it in order to pull back the curtain. Jacob does not like it when Cassidy does this, and neither does she, but 'the veil' calls to her and makes her wonder if there is something she should be doing in the mysterious place. To make matters worse, her parents decide to host a TV show on the most haunted places in the world, and they head off to Scotland, instead of the nice beach vacation that Cassidy had planned. She learns that Scotland is filled with ghosts and sometimes the pull of 'the veil' is too strong for her to resist and it sucks her into the land of the dead without her pulling on the curtain. Jacob gets dragged along, much to his irritation, and Cassidy meets another girl with her same talent, who Jacob doesn't like one bit. She realizes that she has much to learn about 'the veil' and that it is more dangerous than she initially thought. The girl informs her that she has a job to do instead of lugging her precious old-fashioned camera around and taking pictures in the hopes that one will turn out with ghost pictures instead of blurry shadows. This book keeps you turning pages so that you never want to stop. "The City of Ghosts" can get pretty scary, but not too bad, after all, I don't usually like scary books but this one surprised me and I love it a lot. I would recommend this book to middle schoolers who enjoy realistic fantasy with a little twist.

Bone: Rockjaw Master of the Eastern Border HC

Bone: Rockjaw Master of the Eastern Border HC

By Jeff Smith

To start off with, this book is super cool. To sum it up, its about the bones and there new friend trying to go back to town. But they see smoke. they don't know its being attacked and the treaty was broke. and the rat creature peoples leader is Kingdok. He and a fellow mate who is trying to capture the people known as rock jaw like in the title. they don't wanna live in the places they had to live in after the war, but on all they lost and now they broke a treaty and are attacking the main town and Mr.Down is in town. And, Phoney bone is trying to leave with all towns peoples goodies but caught the dragon. They weren't waning to catch the dragon. But, and Torn had to save the dragon because they were about to kill the red dragon but in all torn saves the dragon from death. I think it's crazy how Phoney bone wants to leave in the middle of a war! This made me realize, how selfish Phoney bone is. He wants to leave with everyone's goodies and keep it to himself and he's doing it in the war were he need the dragons the most. He's putting so many life's in danger. This made me feel like never be greedy cause he's doing something bad. Really bad that people are gonna die and he might get caught. That would be very sad but he earned it. The theme is never be selfish cause when he gets caught it wont be pretty for him. If you like chase downs you would enjoy this fantastic book. If you like all these things I am saying, you should read this amazing book. And if you like bad people getting what they deserve you should read this. Well that's all to it. That's mostly about what happens in the book with nothing you wouldn't want to read it.

The FunJungle Collection: Belly Up; Poached; Big Game

The FunJungle Collection: Belly Up; Poached; Big Game

By Stuart Gibbs

Stuart Gibbs never fails to amaze me. His works are some of the most clever, creative, and enticing books I have ever had the pleasure of reading- FunJungle included. The series takes place in a tourist attraction called- I bet you'll never guess- FunJungle. We follow Teddy Fitzroy, a twelve-year-old boy, as he solves mysteries revolving around FunJungle's animal inhabitants (a hippo that appeared to have died unnaturally, a rhino being shot at, etc.) Later on in the series, the focus shifts to animals outside of FunJungle (dinosaur bones being stolen, a local mountain lion, a bear at Yellowstone), a change I personally wasn't too fond of. I also wasn't Summer x Teddy's biggest fan- I felt as though their relationship became pretty bland after they started "dating"- but it wasn't too distracting from the plot overall. That being said, the mysteries and action were RIVETING. I can proudly say I binge-read this series! With its unique characters, fun animal factoids, and a rollercoaster of a plot, FunJungle had me hooked, and I hope it hooks you too!

Addison Cooke and the Treasure of the Incas

Addison Cooke and the Treasure of the Incas

By Jonathan W. Stokes

Addison Cooke is your average kid, but he doesn't have normal parents. His aunt an uncle(who are currently on a break), are archaeologists who travel around the world. His dream is to join them in exploring the globe. It is his little sister Madison's dream that their family stays together, and that Addison will for once get his nose out of the books and not make them late getting home. Addison's dream of adventure is about to come true, in a very round-about way. One night Addison and Madison are at the museum with their uncle, and he tells them about his amazing discovery of an ancient Inca key. The key is said to be one of three, and the riddle will lead to the others, which will lead to a magnificent treasure. But then the key is stolen and his aunt and uncle are kidnapped by an evil archaeologist with a rag-tag group of the toughest and meanest men around. So Addison, Madison, and two friends set off to recover the lost treasure-and their family. I loved how the author made everything adventurous and mysterious, but at the same time history was woven into the plot. There were turns and twists around every corner. The whole book was based on Inca history, and I loved the little details. I also love the sister-brother bond and slight rivalry between Addison and Madison. Addison is a particularly entertaining character, with his knowledge and sometimes pretentious attitude. I really liked the quirk of Addison's love of strange sayings such as "this is a sticky wicket". I recommend this book to adventure and mystery lovers, anywhere from higher elementary to high school grades. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.
