Explorer Academy: The Nebula Secret

Explorer Academy: The Nebula Secret

By Trudi Trueit

WOW!!! That was my only reaction after reading this book! Just WOW! This book totally surprised me. Cruz Coronado lives in Hawaii and loves to surf. At least, he LIVED in Hawaii. The very exclusive Explorer Academy had accepted his application to attend... in WASHINGTON, D.C.! His deceased mother had gone when she was his age, and Cruz feels she would be proud of him going. At the Academy, they train kids and teens about how to explore. Pretty cool, right? Cruz definitely thinks so! There's augmented reality rooms to simulate what life will be like when they set sail to take an ACTUAL EXPLORATION! YEAH! They get to actually go out into the world and explore using the skills they learned at the Explorer Academy! Sounds like my kind of school!! But something sinister seems to be going on amidst all of the hubbub. Nebula (a medicine company) wants to stop the explorers from finding a special substance from jellyfish that can cure every single disease in the world, which would eventually put Nebula out of service (because no one is getting sick and buying their medicine)! LIKE, WHO WOULD DO THAT?!? Nebula is the DEFINITION of evil! And a strange man keeps popping up in Cruz's life... more like following him! Why is all of this happening to Cruz? Find out in Explorer Academy: The Nebula Secret. This book is spectacular! I loved it because it had fun codes, and awesome story and writing style, and showed how cool exploring is! I would absolutely LOVE to attend Explorer Academy! This book was overall FABULOUS! I recommend this book to anyone, at any age!

Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane (The Underland Chronicles, Book 2)

Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane (The Underland Chronicles, Book 2)

By Suzanne Collins

If you didn't know before reading this book, it's the second book in the Underland Chronicles. Read the first book first. I may accidently spoil something about the first in the review, but I doubt it. Still, no one likes a spoiler. Only really weird people. (A.k.a.: some of my closest friends, but whatever.) After returning from the Underland the first time, Gregor swore never to return. But now he has no choice. The giant cockroaches that inhabit the Underland have kidnapped his sister, who they call their "princess". At first Gregor's angry about this, but then he found out their reason. It was foretold in a prophesy that if the rats killed Boots, they would rule the Underland. And if it meant they would have power over the Regalians. . . the rats would stop at nothing until she was dead.

By Suzanne Collins

These books are sooooo good! At first I didn't even want to read them, but my brother told me to, and I still owe him to this day. I love the characters (especially Ripred....lol) and the story line, and.... well, all of it! Suzanne Collins (she also wrote the Hunger Games..... read that too!) put together an amazing story. I totally recommend these books to anyone who seeks a little adventure and excitement in their reading!

Book of the Dead (TombQuest, Book 1)

Book of the Dead (TombQuest, Book 1)

By Michael Northrop

The main character of this book is Alex. He has a life-threatening medical condition, and so every day the middle-school-er goes to work with his mom at the museum. One day he comes very close to dying, until his mom saves him with a magic book, one of the artifacts. But then evil spirits are released and disaster occurs. To top it off his mom disappears. Will he and his best friend Ren be able to find her and reset the evil doings. I only recommend this book for older kids as it has much violence, and horror involved.

Galactic Hot Dogs 1: Cosmoe's Wiener Getaway

Galactic Hot Dogs 1: Cosmoe's Wiener Getaway

By Max Brallier

Meet Cosmoe, the Earth-Boy. He's captain of the Neon Wiener, the finest flying food truck in the galaxy. Along with his bud, Big Humphree, he spends his days cruising the cosmos and staying crazy busy. I like the idea that it involves food because i love to eat.

Hideout (Swindle #5)

Hideout (Swindle #5)

By Gordon Korman

More of an adventure type book, it's not really my favorite genre, but it was still a pretty good book. If you know what's going on, it's easier to understand the plot of the story. For some reason I read this book in the series first. Good read overall guys.

Zoobreak (Swindle)

Zoobreak (Swindle)

By Gordon Korman

Zoobreak by Gordan Korman This book is a about griffin 'the man with the plan''s friend savanna has her capuchin monkey Cleo stolen from her but when their homeroom class takes a fieldtrip to a zoo/boat hybrid Cleo is found aboard as the man of the plan griffin formulates a plan named zoo break. when their plan succeeds the take the other malnourished animals on savanna's whim and distributed them among their team. on the account that savanna's friend from the zoo is elsewhere, wherein griffin formulates zoo break II, to sneak in the animals into the state zoo. In my opinion it's a good book it just needs more related to the story details the part where they follow through with the plan are kind of short. Realistic yes but not to not to much realism but here was bits and pieces that were unrealistic like owning a capuchin monkey , Griffins hacker sister mellissa , the parts that can happen like Ben's narcolepsy and mr nastase personality that one is very common. The book's main audience is direct towards sixth and seventh graders mostly for the reason it's in large lettering it also makes it easer to read for the visually impaired. External: Man vs society twice in this book griffin says we're just kids in an adult world.
