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.

How to Be a Supervillain

By Michael Fry

I really like it because it was entertaining it was fun, cool. It was about boy that doesn`t have the heart to be a supervillain. But his whole family are supervillains and they are trying to make him a supervillain. I love villains I love being in the deskside. I think that this great book was for me and is kind of about me.

Shazam!: The Junior Novel

Shazam!: The Junior Novel

By Calliope Glass

This is the best DC Comics movie yet! It's about an orphan boy named Billy Batson who lives in Pennsylvania who keeps running away from foster homes because he believes his mother is still alive until he is at a point where he is with a foster family. His foster parents introduce themselves and his new family. But after a day in school, he runs away again (after standing up to the bullies who bullied Freddy and his foster family). He gets on a subway train with people and the next thing he knows, they all vanished, the train goes fast and everything on the outside freezes until...he's in an ancient temple with an old wizard. The wizard said Billy Batson was 'Pure of Heart' (meaning he was loyal, trustworthy and protective). The wizard tells Billy to say his name, "SHAZAM". He says it and the next thing he knows, he's back in the subway again but with people staring at his outfit. He comes back home to Freddy to get some help (because Freddy was a hero fan nerd) and soon Freddy believes that the man was actually Billy Batson. Freddy and Billy go to a store and a few minutes later, there were robbers. Billy goes to talk to them, and one of the men shoot him...but he (and the robbers) noticed that he was bullet proof (both skin and outfit). But while the boys were messing around, there was a villain who wanted the 'Champion's' (Billy Batson's) powers (since he was chosen for pure of heart). When they come home, Billy tries to be quite (but he couldn't) so his little foster sister knew the hero (SHAZAM) and Billy explained everything until he said "SHAZAM", he turns back to a kid. A couple of days later, Freddy and Billy are playing around with Billy's powers, destroying homework/books and drinking tons of soda. Then after a few more days (in school), Freddy wants Billy to come to lunch as the superhero so he doesn't get beaten up. Billy turns into the hero but only to get money from other people with music just by shooting lightning from his hands and while he does that (after talking to Freddy about how he couldn't be there with him at lunch), he (accidentally) struck one of the buses wheels and that bus was now hanging from a bridge. Billy saves the bus (and the people in it) but Freddy and Billy have an argument. By the time Billy returns home, his foster parents were furious at him for ditching school and going someplace else. Soon, his foster siblings noticed that he was the hero (SHAZAM). His foster siblings also told him that his mother was alive and was living in an apartment. His foster parents drove off and went after Billy. By the time Billy got there, he was talking to his mother and Billy gave his mother the same compass he got as a little kid by winning a game. Billy and the bad guy, Doctor Sivana, were fighting in the air and then in a mall (and SHAZAM was almost losing) until he said the word "SHAZAM!", Doctor Sivana was confused where the hero went until he looked at the news seeing the same boy (Freddy) who talked to the hero. After Billy finished his talk with his mother, he got a phone call (and he thought it was his foster family) but he heard screams from his family sibling about how they were captured by Doctor Sivana. When SHAZAM got there, Doctor Sivana told him to give up his powers with the staff (the wizard gave him his powers) but SHAZAM declined. Sivana took his foster siblings to the park where he unleashed the Seven Deadly Sins (because in the beginning of the movie, as a child, he had the same experience with the wizard but instead of getting the powers like the wizard, he saw the Seven Deadly Sins and they told him to be THEIR champion but if he fell for them TOO EASILY, then he was not pure of heart). So SHAZAM and his foster siblings got the staff and all of them (except for Billy) said "SHAZAM!" and there were now five more SHAZAM's. Later, SHAZAM fought against Doctor Sivana and in the end, Sivana lost and everything went back normal.

I Survived the Eruption of Mount St. Helens, 1980 (I Survived #14)

By Lauren Tarshis

Jessie finds herself in the middle of the deadliest volcanic eruption in U.S. history. Trapped on the mountain, she must escape clouds of poisonous gas, and bowling rivers to get back home safely. i didn't really make a connection to this book because I never experienced a volcanic eruption the reason why I only gave this book a 2 star is that it wasn't that exciting to me and it didn't have that good of a plot

Big Game (FunJungle)

Big Game (FunJungle)

By Stuart Gibbs

Where was the best amusement park you went to? Was it Disneyland? Or Six Flags? How about the best zoo? FunJungle is better than the those two combined. Built by millionaire J.J Mackracken, FunJungle is one of the biggest zoos in the world. But several things have gone wrong there, including a murdered hippo and kidnapped koala. This time, someone tries to kill Rhonda Rhino, the zoos pregnant rhino. Teddy Fitzroy, the only kid living at the zoo and has solved two mysteries at it, is asked to solve the case. Who could possibly be trying to kill the rhinos? And why did he target the only rhino indoors? You will find out if you read the book. This book is great because it includes facts about animals. I also love it because it is a mystery and funny. I recommend this book to all animal lovers
