This book is amazing from the beginning to end. I couldn't stop reading it. It's about 3 kids Anna, Jose, Henry that all go to Washington D.C. Something horrible and very surprising happens: The original Star Spangled Banner has been stolen. A storm has struck and all the planes are delayed. Anna knows that the thief must be stuck in the airport too. Can she convince Jose and Henry to help her? But is the job to hard for them? On their journey to find the flag they meet a crazy poodle, a mysterious snake-arm man, and a soon-to-be president. Can they stop the culprits from escaping? In this intense novel you'll find out. It will take you on an adventure you'll never forget. I give Capture The Flag 5 stars.

Tuesdays at the Castle
By Jessica Day George
Tuesdays at the Castle is about the young Princess Ceilie and her royal family. Tuesday's are Ceilie's favorite days because every Tuesday the Castle adds a new room and shifts around. Ceilie(being the Castle's favorite) is one of the only people who can navigate through the castle's ever-changing corridors, and has been declared official mapmaker. But then while Ceilie's parents and her older brother are away a terrible accident happens, and the three older royals are missing. Presumed dead, many Councilors and foreigners come to take up residence in the castle. Ceilie's older brother Rolf is thrust into the position of an immediate heir. But Ceilie and her siblings suspect a dangerous plot. It is up to Ceilie and the castle to save their family and their home. This book was filled with suspense and secrets, alone with humor at times. I can't wait to read the rest of the series! I recommend this book for the middle grade, around ages 10-15. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.

The Body in the Woods: A Point Last Seen Mystery
By April Henry
This book is incredible but the author is even more incredible. I'm in Book Battle and one of our visiting authors was April Henry. She explained how she wrote her book. The book it's self is based off of real high school kids who do search and rescue. The story is that three kids go around trying to figure out a mystery about a bunch of murders to girls who are homeless or are passing as homeless, while they are all dealing with their own problems. If you like murder mysteries then this is definitely the book for you.
