Page turner for boys and girls alike! Tom spends a weekend in Peru with his crazy Uncle Harvery, running away from Otto Gonzalez, the finger cutting crook. Car chase scenes and mountain top gun battles are contrasted with the search for Sir Francis Drake's gold on the coast of South America. Will Tom ever make it out of there? Will Harvey regret brining him along, or is Tom's clever thinking just the ticket to get them both home!

I give two thumbs up to this one

This is the best book ever!!!!!! Andrew Peterson's books have a truly magical feel to them and, even though the ending is controversial, the story is very realistic. Well, as realistic as a story including Fangs, dragons, and toothy cows can be! (Though I'm convinced all of it's real.) Andrew expresses human feelings better than anyone can, and every chapter I'd find myself saying, "That's it! That's what I've been trying to express my whole life!" I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a fun, thought-provoking book. For Anniera!

Ally loves stars, and owns the place where the next eclipse is going to happen. And after her parents just told her that Bree and her family were going to take over the place after the eclipse, she's crushed. Great, just great. Bree sooo doesn't want to be there. I mean, seriously, this is her social life down the drain, because she has to stay after the eclipse to do what? Own the place, and be cut off from civilization. For three years! Great, just great. As for Jack, well, he failed science class, and this was his ticket out of summer school. He doesn't have high hopes, but maybe this will be different. Just maybe.

*Spoiler This book was mediocre. First of all, the beginning of the story was confusing. There were too many things going on and it was hard to follow. The plot was interesting overall and I liked the characters and their personalities. For example, Jack's british accent made it fun to read aloud. One thing though is that, as the story continued, lot of things that happened were predictable like when they found out that Charlie Green was Jack's son. For these reasons I give this book 3 stars.

I think the plots are amazing, as they really talk to the innate explorer inside of us. I really want to share this book to friends as I believe everyone will really enjoy it!

This is a great book with a modern take on Greek mythology. Overall, it had strong characters and a strong, if not chaotic plotline. Comparable with Percy Jackson and the Olympians. (It's an especially good book during a long, somewhat painful Jewish holiday in which ALL of your mom's half of the family crams into your grandmother's house for three straight days and you literally have nothing to do. Oy vey.)

“There will be three, kin of your kin...who hold the power of the stars in their paws.” The ancient prophecy was given to Firestar, leader of ThunderClan, and revolves around the lives of his grandchildren. Jaypaw, Lionpaw, and Hollypaw, the kits of Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight, are about to begin their warrior training as apprentices. They are the prophesied cats, destined to be the most powerful warriors who ever lived. Jaypaw is blind...but sees more than his siblings and friends think he does. He is apprenticed to Brightheart, a warrior, but feels restless and unhappy. Instead, he decides to train as a medicine cat, and becomes dedicated to healing ThunderClan’s cats for the rest of his life. Lionpaw is a great hunter and fighter already...which is why he’s being trained in his dreams by Tigerstar, an evil cat who almost destroyed ThunderClan. Unaware of the danger, he continues to see Tigerstar, learning things that no one could have imagined... And Hollypaw is the thinker, the smartest of her siblings, the one who ponders over every single thought and action. She is excited to become an apprentice, but she must choose who she wants to be; a warrior or a medicine cat? Three cats...one destiny. Read this book to find out what happens!

This new installment in the Cahill family secrets certainly lives up to its predecessors. Dan and Amy Cahill are having fun living with their cousins and pulling off secret operations, and taking turns being the leader of the group. Then one day the CIA knocks on their door-they have a new mission. The government had been working on a top-secret disease that could knock out millions. But it was stolen by one of their own, the traitor Sinead Starling. So Dan, Amy and the other Cahills set off on an adventure to retrieve the poison and try to find out what Sinead Starling is about to. But finding out the truth might be harder than they thought, and there are others out there against the Cahills. Will the Cahills be able to stop the outbreak of a disease so powerful that it could wipe out the world? And find the truth about their rogue cousin? One part I liked international places in this book-specifically Cuba, which Sinead is targeting. The government plays a big part, and the tense relationship between the US and Cuba as well. It just made everything a little bit more interesting and tricky. Like other books in the 39 Clues, Super-special Outbreak is hair-raising, with with twists around every corner. I couldn't put it down! I hope there are more coming! I recommend this book(and this series), to anybody 4th grade and up. I believe for most younger than that the book would be too violent. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.

This is an excellent book series about a teenager named Michael Vey who possesses an unnatural gift: he can wield electricity. He goes on many adventures to stop a guy named Hatch and his company the Elgen. Throughout the story Michael displays acts of valor to save his family and friends.
