Nick and Tesla's Robot Army Rampage: A Mystery with Hoverbots, Bristle Bots, and Other Robots You Can Build Yourself
By Bob Pflugfelder, Steve Hockensmith
In this book Nick and Tesla, two twins, help their friend Silas find his father's quite valuable stolen comic book in order to save his store Hero Worship, Inc. With the help of their Uncle Newt, a brilliant but quirky character, the twins build their own robots which are used to recover the comic book and then are used to defend against the thief and his own army of robots! This is the second book of the series. The neat thing about this story is that it contains instructions and blueprints for five different robot projects that actually work. My son and I are currently building the Explorer Bot and so far it has been a fun venture

Smurfs #1: The Purple Smurfs, The (The Smurfs Graphic Novels)
By Yvan Delporte, Peyo
This three-in-one book is very funny. In 'The Purple Smurfs' is about a smurf that gets bitten by a Bzz fly. Then, he bites a smurf who bites a smurf and it just keeps going. Papa smurf and the remaining 5 smurfs-including papa smurf-have to find a way to stop the purple smurfs before it's too late. In the second story, "The Flying Smurf', a smurf wants to fly, but no matter what he tries, something happens that stops him from flying. Maybe he'll try sailing instead. In the third story, 'A Smurf's Neighbors' a smurf moves to the forrest, but that's not much better than his old house-plus there's a squirrel who keeps stealing his food and a mosquito keeps biting him. Maybe he'll move back to the village. I loved it!
Game of Clones: The Clone Chronicles #3
By M.E. Castle
This is the third book in The Clone Chronicles, Fisher Bas discovers there is now a THIRD copy of him... but this third copy is not nice, he is downright evil! However, I liked the other two better. This book was way too predictable, but still...awesome!
Popular Clone: The Clone Chronicles #1
By M.E. Castle
This is the first book in the clone chronicles. It is about a scientist kid named Fisher Bas, who always gets pushed around in his school, so he creates a clone to go to school for him. Somehow, the clone, named Two, becomes very popular in his school.
Cloneward Bound: The Clone Chronicles #2
By M.E. Castle
Thank you to Egmont USA for sending me this free copy of the book for winning a giveaway on DogoBooks. Fisher Bas is recovering from his battle; and Two went missing. One day a few weeks later, Fisher receives a note from Two that says he is searching for his mother (Spot-Rite ad woman) in Hollywood. With Two missing, what will happen? With a two day class field trip coming up in Hollywood, Fisher goes to whatever limits he can to find Two; only to find out he’s become a YouTube sensation and goes by a new stage name, Basley Bas. In a funny, quirky sequel, Cloneward Bound is the story of a desperate 6th grader in Hollywood doing whatever it takes to get his clone back and not get noticed. What I thought about it: Cloneward Bound was a truly fabulous book. I actually think I liked it more than the first book. This book ups the action and the suspense, and is a pefect companion to the first book. I thought the setting was very awesome: Hollywood, with fake music and television celebrities. Also the cover is great, and I think it is so funny that Fisher is getting hellos from famous people and everyone thinks he is an internet sensation even though he isn’t. Fisher is frantically trying to figure out a solution to his clone being popular so he, himself, isn’t the center of attention. So, very interesting themes in this story, and a lovely plot. Can’t wait for the final book in the series!

The Black Reckoning (Books of Beginning)
By John Stephens
This book looks really good- I would like to read it. I have read The Emerald Atlas and The Fire Chronicle. This book seems a little dark though.

By Geronimo Stilton
Wow!Cool I just wish that I was in the Olympics.
The Secret of the Sphinx (Geronimo Stilton #2)
By Geronimo Stilton
I enjoy Geronimo Stilton books, but this was not my favorite because it did not talk about Egypt as much as I wanted.
