Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (Harry Potter)

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (Harry Potter)

By Newt Scamander

A collection of every beast, animal, and monster in the wizard word out together in alphabetical order, how dangerous it really is and full detail of it. This book is supposed to be. Harry's school book (that he shares with Ron) and it is full of funny notes that they have written being funny. I think this was really fun to read and is a good companion book with the 7 Harry Potter Books. Recommended to anyone who reads Harry Potter. Thanks for reading -Ajg16's reviews

Flashback (Keeper of the Lost Cities)

Flashback (Keeper of the Lost Cities)

By Shannon Messenger

I loved this book! It is my favorite in the series so far! Sophie needs to learn to fight, because she knows that her abilities can be avoided by the Neverseen. But afetr Alvar's tribunal, Sophie and Fitz suffer series damage from shadows. Illusion is the villains new weapon. Because of her injuries, she can't fight, but she can train with Fitz, that is, when he's conscious again. Fitz was attacked on the Heart, unlike Sophie , who was attacked on her arm and forehead. Things are changing quickly. Silveny is pregnant,Sophie needs to heal with Fitz, they need to figure out how to stop the shawdows, make them go away, and control them to use for themselves. Most importantly, they need to stop the Neverseeen. Tam is one hope. He's a shade, and he is very good at taking control at the shadow-flux. He's scared though, and that makes it harder. The Neverseen have revealed that they will attack when the newborn trolls hatch. That's a bad idea. The trolls are most dangerous when they hatch first. Sophie starts to train a bit to late, and she can only throw with her left arm, her bad arm. How will they stop the Neverseen if they aren't ready?

Unlocked Book 8.5 (Keeper of the Lost Cities)

Unlocked Book 8.5 (Keeper of the Lost Cities)

By Shannon Messenger

I DEFINITELY recommend Keepers Of The Lost Cities to person looked for a very intriguing series that’s IMPOSSIBLE to put down! I really like that Shannon added the comprehensive guide to the Lost Cities in the first half of Unlocked( Book 8.5) because we really needed all the details and loose ends to be tied up. And that map in the front cover is absolutely gorgeous! Also a LOT of game-changer stuff happens including Keefe and the cache (No Spoilers😉). Also this book picks up off of the cliffhanger in the end of book 8 (Legacy). I really like that it changes off from Keefe’s perspective and Sophie’s, cause it really gives you a deeper insight on the plot, story, feelings, message etc... I totally recommend anyone to start reading this series and Unlocked if they’ve read the other books! I would say that these books should probably be for readers ages 11-12, and maybe mature 10 year olds/6th grade and up! Like and follow me please! Bye!

The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, Book 1)

The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, Book 1)

By Suzanne Collins

"May the odds be ever in your favor!" After a bloody war, twelve districts rose from the ashes of what was formerly known as North America, lead by a glorious Capitol. As revenge for the districts' betrayal in the war, the Capitol requires one young man and woman from each district to participate in an annual televised fight to the death, commonly known as the 'Hunger Games.' And when Primrose Everdeen, an innocent twelve-year-old from District 12 gets selected to participate in the Hunger Games, her sister, Katniss, is shell-shocked - and in a life-changing decision, volunteers to take her place. Her fellow tribute from her district is announced as one Peeta Mellark, who helped Katniss and her family in their time of need.. and there will only be one survivor. In order to survive, they are presented to the frivolous citizens of the Capitol as "star-crossed lovers", and must play the part to stay alive.. together. Prepare for an action-filled adventure of betrayals, poisonous berries, unexpected allies, bloody deaths, wildfires, heartbreak, and maybe even true love..? I highly recommend this book - please give it a try! This book fit right in the "dystopia" label, honestly - even though I completely fell for this book my first time reading it, I grew a little more critical the next few times around.. I felt like the "star-crossed lovers" cliché didn't exactly "fit" Katniss and Peeta - I felt like Katniss would be better off with her sister, Prim, even in the absolutely terrible conditions of District 12 - that would have been a "happy ending" for her. Instead, Katniss is stuck in a confusing love triangle between basically useless Peeta and her long-time friend, Gale, and I feel like even though the bloody Hunger Games is supposed to be the "main" storyline of the series, the whole overwhelming romance thing just pushes everything else aside. Aside from the cheesy "romance" side of this series, I absolutely loved some parts of the book - the sacrifice Katniss made for Prim felt so.. so heartbreaking, but I was absolutely devastated when a specific friend of Katniss died in her arms.. The emotional aspect of such an event was so well captured in this book, how heartbreaking it would be to lose your family or friends.. I could not stop sobbing. This outshone the "romance" storyline for me, and now, I am happy to say that I believe that Suzanne Collins wrote an absolutely breathtaking novel.. thank you.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Book 1)

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Book 1)

By J.K. Rowling

I am a BIG fan of the Harry Potter series! It’s about this boy named Harry who lives with his mean aunt, uncle, and cousin. Then, on his birthday, he learns the truth about what really happened to his parents, and found out he was (and still is) a wizard! He gets to go to Hogwarts, a school for witchcraft and magic! On his first day, he picks Gryffindor, the brave, which is one of the four houses. He makes friends with Ron and Hermione, who are also in his house. He also learns about You-Know-Who, aka. Voldemort (who, by the way, has no nose 😂), and is determined to find out the secret behind the evil antagonist/villain. I would recommend this book, and the whole series to people who like fantasy and adventure! I’ve read all the books so far, and I’ll give it a five star! 🤩

Rebel Genius (Rebel Geniuses)

Rebel Genius (Rebel Geniuses)

By Michael Dante DiMartino

12 year old Giacomo lives in a Renaissance-inspired world where art is feared and has been outlawed. Giacomo has been living on his own for several years after escaping the orphanage. He spends his days hiding in the sewers and evading Nerezza guards, the evil ruler of Virenzia. The only thing he actually does for fun is to draw in his sketchbooks. Then one day a Genius shows up-his Genius. This is extremely rare, as a Genius (which is a birdlike creature that represents an artist's creative spirit and essence) is supposed to come when you are a baby. Not to mention all the Geniuses are supposed to be extinct. He is even more surprised when three other kids show up to find him, also with a Genius each. They tell him about a secret studio where they are trained to use their energies as weapons. Giacomo thinks he has finally found a safe place. But an evil artist is looking for something, the three Sacred Tools. With them he could destroy the world. So Giacomo along with others must set off with their Geniuses to stop him. There were so many details about this world that I wouldn't know where to begin. I love how as the book goes on you learn little pieces that fit the whole puzzle together. I also loved the suspense and mystery, there was also a lot of action. There were very few, if any, dull moments in the book. Every scene had a purpose. There were some intense parts in this book. Part of the story is told by a man-made creature who has four arms, and his whole purpose is to follow the bidding of his master, which is usually to threaten or even kill somebody. Another aspect of the story revolves around the Lost Souls, which are the artists who are dead. Because of some of those parts I would recommend this book to middle grade and up, not elementary. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

Scat

Scat

By Carl Hiaasen

The name of my book is Scat by Carl Hiaasen. The story is based around a group of characters that all have their own secrets behind a mysterious fire that broke out in the woods while a school was on the field trip. A teacher goes missing while trying to find a little girls inhaler and hasn't been seen in days. Detectives find evidence of arson, and all eyes are wandering. A mysterious arson, a missing teacher, a juvenile student, and a greedy business company all have their secrets that have yet to come out. Two students, Nick and Marta, are the only ones who have the curiosity to piece it together. With them only being in seventh grade, it is hard to convince anyone. All the people in town are turning against each other, yet a culprit is hiding right under their noses. This book is truly amazing. It not only represents mystery well, but it's relatable dialogue and characters add onto the realistic fiction. The clues are given ever so subtly, and connections are cleverly imputed. It switches off between characters, almost telling different stories every other chapter. This gives you different background knowledge and curiosity involving every character as a suspect, instead of having a seemingly one sided story. I believe that this genre is realistic fiction because all the events that happen in it could happen in real life, but the characters are fiction. There is no sort of fake elements to the book, which makes it relatable and realistic. The characters are made up by the author, but the events are based around true life events. The characters are fiction, but the plot is far from fake. A school teacher disappearing, and the students trying to solve it, are things that can happen in real life and have most likely happened. People who would enjoy this book are fans of mystery. The book is based around a mysterious event, but it has a lot more to offer than just that. It has relatable characters, interesting dialogue, and most of the things that make realistic fiction great. Audiences who love relating to characters and plots that involve clues given ever so subtly are going to be more than impressed by what Scat has to offer. An example of an internal conflict would be with one of the characters Duane, or Smoke. He struggles to find his true self throughout the book, as people try to tell him who he should be. This internal struggle is shown throughout the story, as it comes up often. His grandmother wants him to be a gentleman, while his father isn't a big fan of that. Since Smoke lives alone with his father, he hasn't ever had the chance to find out who he truly is without someone telling him. This is an internal conflict because it is man v.s man, meaning he is against himself throughout the story. Although there are no external conflicts, the book is interesting in many different areas. Scat is a book that creates a relatable connection between the reader and the characters. Whether it is the struggle of being at home, being at school, or feeling alone, Scat has all the different types of struggles that readers from different backgrounds can enjoy.

The Boy Who Knew Everything

The Boy Who Knew Everything

By Victoria Forester

A highly-anticipated sequel to "The Girl Who Could Fly", I am pleased to announce that "The Boy Who Knew Everything" is every bit as whimsical, fantastical and magical as the first book. Full of warmth and adventure, this book is firmly rooted to real-world problems as well as magical conflicts. It keeps readers on their toes and gives them room to figure out the mysteries that appear throughout the book - and even though this book has plenty of twists and turns, it has heart - the author writes from a young perspective and is well-aware of what kids are actually going through, supernatural or not, and it adds a refreshing touch of reality to an exciting adventure book. If you had a chance to look at the children being described in this book, you would say that they were normal children without sparing a second glance at them - you would be wrong. These children possess supernatural abilities, whether it's the ability of super strength or X-Ray vision - and they have the power to fix world problems and prevent world crises. But they need a leader - someone who can unite their talents and use them for the greater good. Unfortunately, there is one problem in their otherwise flawless plan - the "leader", an introverted genius by the name of Conrad Harrington III, refuses to accept their offer - "Things happen for a reason. No one wants us to get involved." But Conrad suddenly faces a different perspective when his adoptive father, Joe McCloud almost dies from heart problems - which could have been prevented if the team worked together. Many things, small tragedies that Conrad notices every day around him, could have been prevented if they worked together as a team. He starts training the extraordinary children, and soon local miracles start happening - like flood victims being rescued and lost cats being found. But Conrad starts noticing a pattern - everywhere the children go, he notices a small red rock, like someone's following them - and when two members of the team, Ahmed and Nalen get kidnapped, Conrad knows for sure - someone wants to stop them. It might just be the President of the United States - or as Conrad knows him better, his father. But when his father mysteriously disappears after saving Conrad from a bullet, Conrad and his best friend, Piper are whisked into a magical and dangerous journey into the mysterious land of Xanthia to find out the truth. This book is not perfect - in fact, I enjoyed it a little less than "The Girl Who Could Fly." It's full of cliches, it has two-dimensional "main" characters who are basically props, and other reasons why I might have disliked this book - so besides from my instant liking to any and all fantasy books (with the blatant exception of vampire romances) I liked this book because it evened everything out - even if it had cliches, it was original most of the time and even when there were two-dimensional characters introduced, the main, three-dimensional characters were strong - I especially enjoyed watching Letitia Hellion grow from a villain to a misunderstood hero. The author, Victoria Forester slipped up in some minor parts, but still had everything right for the most part, and I really enjoyed this read - I tore through the book and I'll recommend it to every reader who's enjoyed a book with a little bit of everything - adventure, fantasy, mystery, hints of suspense and sparks of realistic fiction at times.
