In the Shadow of the Sun
By Anne Sibley O'Brien
In the Shadow of The Sun is a great book for three reasons. The first reason is that the book is very fast paced and written beautifully. Every chapter is ended in a cliff hanger and very entertaining. Second, it is very helpful to learn about a country where people are less fortunate that us. I feel like the author took her time raising awareness for a big issue in North Korea. Lastly, the characters bring more power and emotion to the story. Mia and Simon, the two main characters, are brave and smart in the situation they find themselves in. Please read now!!

The Hidden Oracle (Trials of Apollo #1)
By Rick Riordan
Apollo has been banished to Earth by Zeus because he has been blamed for his son's actions. Which weren't too bad if you ask me. All Octavian did was manipulate the minds of others, lie to his campers, take over a camp, go mad with power, use al the camp's savings to buy weapons, sent assassins' after the people trying to stop the war, attacked camp half-blood, and turned into a fiery comet screaming like a little girl. Wait... that is pretty bad. Which is why Zeus zapped Apollo and sent him down to earth, face first into a dumpster. Apollo is now 16-year-old, flab and acne encrusted Lester Papadopoulos. With the help of Meg and Percy Jackson, he makes it to Camp Half-Blood where he must help the mortal do tasks, be trained, and write haikus. He must complete a series of trials in order to regain he spot on Mount Olympus, and become a god again. I give it three stars, because from what I can understand, the trial of this book was stopping the crazed emperor, Nero, from burning down a forest that was home to nymphs and giant ants. That didn't even make up much of the book, and it only took 30 pages at most. The book is like 400 or 500 pages long. I am looking forward to reading the other books in the series though. I give this book 3 stars. Happy reading, kids!
The Changelings
By Christina Soontornvat
Meet Izzy Doyle, an eleven year old, who recently moved to Everton (totally unrelated, but Everton has a store called the Jiggly Goat)... Anyways there is a specific house in Everton that was bequeathed (more like it was forced- you’ll see after you finish reading this book) to Izzy’s father, which is the place where they moved to. According to the cash register in Jiggly Goat, there is a witch, Marian Malloy, and she’s watching out for “faries.” It’s sort of ironic how the cashier said that… Izzy is very determined to find out what exactly does the witch do for fun… I mean does she cast some sort of spell??? As she was “spying” on the witch… Marian Malloy was just washing the dishes! And maybe Hen might have accidentally told on Izzy… And maybe Hen spilled lemonade on Izzy’s book, which induced her to cry out and scream at Hen. The following day- Hen was playing in the woods, but Izzy heard some sort of music “from inside the woods,” but Hen was already gone. DUN DUN DUNNNNNNN. Izzy woke up from her huge headache and found herself in the “witch’s room” aka Marian Malloy. Izzy became cautious after she saw a kindergarten picture of her, but Marian told her that it was her grandmother’s scrapbook (the one who passed away) and that she genuinely cared for both girls- she wanted to protect them. However… remember that music that was going on when Hen disappeared? Well, Izzy hummed the parts she could remember and Marian instantaneously grew pale… Uh oh… Something smells fishy here! As Marian instructed Izzy to go back home as Marian will dutifully bring Hen home, Izzy defiantly did the opposite and followed Marian. She later finds herself stuck with Marian and ends up going to the land of “Farie.” In the land of Farie, there is trouble brewing up… She ended up being chased by Unglers (Unglers are creepy creatures who chase Changlings)... Now who are the Changlings? Well they’re humans who can transmogrify into any animals. *I’m so jealous right now- I want to have those types of power* Izzy meets Lug as they are running for their lives… Lug and Dree takes Izy to their safe haven and Izzy meets Selden… Together they all go on a trip to Avhalon to see what will happen… Izzy later finds out that the Piper is illegally stealing children (ie: Hen) for the Queen… and now Hen is the Queen’s “daughter.” How will this group of outlaws be able to retrieve Hen and find the Queen’s devious plans before it actually comes true? Where are the other Changelings- or are they the only one left? Why did the Piper take Hen? All of these questions can be answered once you read it…. Enjoy! Usually, fantasy and me don’t really match; however this was an amazing book about true friendships and the power of love… I absolutely adored this book… This whimsical and fantastical story will transport you to the land of Farie and will take you on an adventure… This is one story you would not to miss!
Alien Superstar (Book #1)
By Henry Winkler, Lin Oliver
Henry Winkler does it again with a whole new series! He is the author of the Hank Zipzer books, which are must-reads for those in grades 3-5. This book can be for all ages. I really loved this book, and I thank DOGO for giving it to me for Summer Reading! This book starts off with an alien, who goes by the name Buddy C. Burger after he escapes war and lands on Earth in Hollywood! To everyone else, Buddy's just another person dressed up in a cool alien costume, while in Buddy's mind, he needs to create an alternate human identity so no one figures out he's an alien! He quickly comes up with an old superstar from hundreds of years ago, and soon he gets a part in a film! But with all the things he has to do, he forgets that he needs a way to get food for his alien body, and only when he remembers, something terrible goes wrong... Will Buddy's identity be revealed? Read on to find out! I highly recommended this book to all ages!
The Fire Keeper (A Storm Runner Novel, Book 2)
By J.C. Cervantes
Zane Obispo is now on a magical island, and it is supposed to protect him from the gods, but its actually a trap.! One day a girl shows up because she read the book that Zane wrote. They find out that they now must save the other godborns and Zane's dad! Zane and friends go through many battles, and do the unexpected. I connected to this book because I related to Zane because I know what it's like when you do something that you think is good but ends up being bad. I give this book 4 stars because I like the book because it has a good plot and character development.
