This book was a great end to the School for Good and Evil series and I really liked it. I would recommend all the books in the series. I couldn't put it down.

This book was so great, that I love it. I liked how it was written when Turbo, the hamster, was "hamster-napped". I love queen Stinkypants, who is a baby. Everyone was amazed when Captain Awesome came in the room. Charlie is Captain's best friend.

This book is very interesting about how karate is a good sport and how it is calm? This is one of my favorite books for now. I'll see if its like my other favorites.

Tiny is a house cat who lives with his family in a Twolegplace. His siblings, Socks and Ruby, often make fun of him, since he is smaller and weaker than them. One day, this curious young kit ventures out into the woods—and meets a group of wild cats, who give him plenty of scratches...but a deep pit of vengeance and foreboding forms inside him. Vowing to defeat the wild cats one day, he wanders around in the Twolegplace, and happens to get a dog’s tooth stuck in his collar. Everyone thought he had killed the dog himself, and, enjoying the attention, Tiny changes his name to Scourge and leaves his old life behind. And this is how BloodClan came to be. Gathering a band of the toughest cats he knew, Scourge starts to kill other dogs and house cats—but his desire for vengeance was never quenched. Will he continue his terrible reign? Read this book to find out!

I think it is very fun it is about Freddy and Max all wanting to join a hocky team if you want more info I personally recommend you read it.

The Glass Gauntlet is the second book in the Blood Guard series. Ronan Truelove barely made it out alive when he first encountered the Bend Sinister and its head-who happens to be his father. Now he is determined to become part of the good guys, otherwise known as the Blood Guard. The Blood Guard is a secret society with some pretty awesome abilities that are dedicated to protect the Pure. The Pure are 36 souls who are necessary to the world's survival. And his best friend Greta happens to be a Pure-although she doesn't know it. Ronan is sent on his first mission with Greta and their friend Sammy along with one of the Guard, Jack. But the trio aren't thrilled about it. Their assignment is to visit a strange school-and take a series of tests called the Glass Gauntlet while Jack searches for an old relic. Where is the adventure in that? Turns out, more dangerous than they thought. They aren't taking boring pencil-and-paper tests, but are instead facing off in heated competitions with ruthless opponents. Everyone is more than they seem. Who can Ronan trust? This book was very adventurous and had high-stakes. I never knew what was going to happen next, and there were twists and turns around every corner. I can't wait to read the next book! I recommend this book to adventure lovers, and fans of the first book. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

I love this book I'm reading it for something at school called battle of the books and I get to read this awesomebook

I watched the movie but I never read this book but according to the title it does not sound like the movie but still a OMG kind of movie

My friend Teah recommended this series to me. Now I am happy she did! I love the boxcar children mysterys!

Where do I even begin? Honestly, I loved this book along with the preceding one, Shadows on the Sea. It was very informative about life during WW2 as well as the aftermath in later chapters of the book. Wendy definitely endured a lot more than Jill. So the first book was more of like a foreshadowing to the *actual* main character. That's how I see it. The story didn't really go anywhere with Jill, apart from the last 50~ pages of the book. But even then, it did not really add up. To summarize book 1: The girl, Jill, finds a hidden submarine, hides, calls police, but nothing happens because the submarine escaped. Mostly gossip around Winter Haven. And Nana's secret turns out to be.. well.. not all that confidential. It has you expecting something EPIC but Nana's secret is a total let-down. You're better off skipping to the end pages of the book to skip all that unnecessary suspense. However, despite this, I still very much enjoyed the story and how it was inspired by the author's own personal life, because Joan Hiatt Harlow (the author) experienced WW2... and it's so cool hearing her story. To Summarize book 2: In comparison to Jill's story, Wendy's involved active warfare, imprisonment, spies, and refugees for instance. There was a lot at stake. Berlin was way more intense than peaceful and cottagey Maine. I thought Wendy's relationship with her mother was intangible to describe. It was very.. complicated? To say the least. Wendy bounces back and forth from loving her mom to hating her mom etc. Wendy keeps a lot of secrets from Adrie (mom) because her mom a) works for a spy organization & b) very short-tempered. Because of this, this convinces a 15yo girl to take drastic measures and travel all the way to Sweden with a bunch of trusted strangers. Fast forward and now you have 19yo Wendy, who's identity is a complete mess (is she Jewish, German, American or all 3? Hard to say.). My only major critique is that Wendy did not meet up with Jill again, at least directly. I was very surprised that very little was mentioned about Jill. Although numerous times Wendy says Jill is her friend, I am not entirely convinced this is the case. Finally, I'm really confused about Barret. Again, DESPITE THIS, this couple-series is still GREAT. I was more or less nitpicking. I highly encourage reader to acknowledge the author's afterword. I may check out more of Joan's books but by far I consider Shadows on the Sea & The Watcher to be the best... this is the only series-type Joan has written, which tells you a lot about how much her readers loved the books!
