The Sight (Warriors: Power of Three, Book 1)
By Erin Hunter
“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!
Outbreak (The 39 Clues: Super Special, Book 1)
By C. Alexander London
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.

The Genius Files: Mission Unstoppable
By Dan Gutman
Novel Pending
This book was surprisingly good. My family and I go on lots of long car trips and we like to listen to audiobooks, but it can be very difficult to find stories that match all of our interests. Since this site is just for the book itself I won't rate the audiobook itself (read by Micheal Goldstrom) but I have to say it was delivered wonderfully. I also won't go into the plot either because, for one thing, there's a summary right there, and I don't want to spoil anything. The Genius Files, as a series overall, can get monotonous. You could say the story is broken into chapter clusters, which all go about the same way. The McDonalds have been driving for hours when Mrs. McDonald suddenly announces an oddball tourist trap that she can use on her popular and ridiculous site, Amazing but True. Dr. McDonald, Coke, and Pepsi all protest, but end up following along anyway. Somehow or another, the twins get separated from their parents and are confronted by their health teacher, Mrs. Higgins, or the nefarious "Bowler Dudes" who attempt to kill them in an absurd way, (including being trapped in a burning school, getting buried alive in the Singing Sand Dunes, getting lowered into a bubbling vat of SPAM, getting shocked to death with electricity, lowered into boiling oil, and having a variety of things dropped onto their heads including a chest of drawers, a concrete brain, and a dead cow.) but they escape, and Coke rips his shirt in the process. Despite the cookie-cutter format, it can be said that the book is full of tidbit trivia, spot-on humor, and defiant action. I would recommend to upper-elementary kids and families looking to have a good time. I would give it four and a half stars, but say in this instance, it rounds up.
The Absent Author (A to Z Mysteries Series #1) by Ron Roy, John Steven Gurney (Illustrator)
By John Steven Gurney (Illustrator) by Ron Roy
I decided to start this series because i like mysteries. I read the first one and i was hooked so far i have everyone in my school library and hoping to read the last few. The first one is about this 3rd grader named Dink and his friends Josh and Ruth Rose who are always the main characters. He is going to see his favorite kids mystery writer named Wallis Wallace and in the letter to Dink it says that he will be there unless he is kidnapped but then Wallis dosen't show up at the book signing! the police say he just missed his flight ,but Dink knows what really happened!
Lemons
By Melissa Savage
Have you ever seen Bigfoot? Tobin Sky plans to. Lemonade LIberty Witt is a girl whose mom has recently passed away, and now she must live with her grandfather, Charlie. Here she meets Tobin Sky, CEO of Bigfoot Detectives Inc. After taking the oath, Lem is now an assistant at Bigfoot Detective Inc. They may have a clue when a resident of Willow Creek calls. Every clue gets Lem closer to solving the Bigfoot mystery, and accepting her new family. This was a cool book, with an interesting idea. I have never read a fictional book on the topic of Bigfoot. The characters were also very interesting. However, at time you cannot relate to the characters very well. You should try this book!
Mercy Watson to the Rescue
By Kate DiCamillo
When the Watsons bed starts to sink through the roof, Mercy jumps off. The Watsons assume she is going off to get help, however Mercy has other plans. The neighbors get annoyed by Mercy, so they call for help. This leads to the people they called for help discovering that the Watsons bed is going through the roof. The Watsons assume that Mercy intentionally did that, however all she wanted were sugar cookies. Mercy is a hero. Overall, I think that this book was hilarious, and the illustrations were so funny. I recommend this to people who enjoy comedy, or people who enjoy the other books by this author. I rate this book 5/5.
Vampirates: Empire of Night
By Justin Somper
Holy Cow!!! My favorite in the series yet, by far. I can`t believe how Justin Somper came up with such a great idea for a book series! I`m surprised its not more popular- I think it is better then Percy Jackson or Harry Potter (which are both amazing book series, too)
Dark Life: Book 1
By Kat Falls
Dark life by Kat Falls This book is about a guy named Ty and his girlfriend named Gemma. They encounter lots of earth shattering earthquakes so the only way to survive underwater. On their journey they meet a lot of their friends trapped underwater. By now your probably thinking how do they breath underwater well they have suits with rebreathers on them so they can live deep under water. For food and water they go to sunken ships that where there from the Beginning by that I mean the Rebels with big submarines shoot down other submarines and scavenger bots. If you are still wondering if there are huge monsters in deep blue yes. Maybe there are some still in our ocean today but they encounter big heavyweight giants that swim but don't eat but megalodon does. Rebels are people who scavenge around for food. They are basically people from the apocalypse but they are saine at the same time. If they were to go up to the surface they would deal with some pretty bad radiation sickness. But there very little chances you could survive because there are lots of tsunamis happening which break the floor and causes immediate volcanic eruption. In this book they live in the ocean because the world has basically ended and the only way to survive is to go underwater. The protagonists of the book are Ty and Gemma,the antagonist of the book would probably be the raiders or the Rebels. The one major conflict is that they have trouble surviving and the other major conflict is that most of there things get taken by the raiders.Ty tried his best by gathering food and shelters for other people,and they can't really do anything to the raiders because they have armor,guns,food,medicine,and men (lots of them).Personally I liked the book because it was sort of my type of book what I mean by that it is a fictional book.But I highly recommend this book for kids who can read with speed because I just barely finished the book in time.

Magisterium: The Golden Tower (The Magisterium)
By Cassandra Clare (author) Holly Black (author)
This is a really good book, I loved it and all the other books in the series. This is the final book in the Magisterium series and it was the perfect ending. Call finally tells Tamara his feelings about her and is surprised to hear the answer. He is so desperate because he doesn't know what to do so he turns to advice from Jasper! Call, Tamara, Jasper, their newfound friend Gwenda, Call's dad, and, though no one knows it, Aaron, go on an adventure together to figure out how to win one last battle. I definitely recommend this to any middle schooler who loves fantasy.
