The Monstrumologist

The Monstrumologist

By Rick Yancey

The Monstrumologist was an exemplary book with the perfect mix of Adventure, Horror, Science-fiction and even a touch of Historical Fiction. I was pleased with the fact that there was no Romance within this novel (a genre I despise). The suspension was exhilarating, and I kept flipping pages. The amount of detail painted a vivid picture in my mind and often made me reel in disgust or gape at the amount of dedication it must have taken to create a book with so many layers and sub-mysteries. I recommend not consuming any food or drink while reading this book, because it gets delightfully gory at some parts. Otherwise, I highly recommend that you pick up this book and start reading. It won't fail to impress! The preferred age range would be 13+ and it will appeal mostly to males (since little to no romance exists in this book). There is a touch of mature content, but nothing you can't handle. I loved this book (it is one of my favorites) and you will too. (Remember, it's part of a series!)

Nanny Piggins and the Wicked Plan

Nanny Piggins and the Wicked Plan

By R. A. Spratt

I really love R. A. Spratt's books. My favorite part of "Nanny Piggins and the Wicked Plan" is the part where Nanny Piggins digs a hole in Mr.Green's yard, and finally hits a cement wall. Then she ends up in a jail cell, thinks it's China, and invites the criminals over. That part is really funny.

Dragon Keeper

Dragon Keeper

By Carole Wilkinson

This book is a great book. The book is based in Ancient China during the Han Dynasty period. Its based on a slave girl who believes that she doesn't belong to this world but she was wrong, she had a boss who owned a golden Dojo. But this story all begins when the slave girl saves a dragon from getting killed. The dragons name was Danzi. From there the girl who doesn't have a name leaves her master and goes on a journey with the Dragon Danzi across China. During the journey the dragon starts learning more about the life about the girl and gives her the name "Ping" while they are on their journey they bring with them a mysteries purple stone that had to be protected. This was a brief about the story and I recommend reader to read it. The book is funny and would high recommend it for ages 10-14 years.

Starters

Starters

By Lissa Price

Starters... Takes place in America far into the future. Her parents died in the Spore wars two years ago. Now, Callie and her younger brother, Tyler, live on the streets along with Michael, a close friend. They live as squatters, running from marshals and fighting off renegades. When they run out of money, Callie goes to Prime Destinations, a place where enders- elders who wish to wish to be a teen again- can be in a teens body and do as they wish as long as they don't do anything too dangerous. Desperate for money, Callie rents out her body. The first two rentals go by fast... but when she wakes up in the middle of her third rental, in a night club, she wants to go back to Prime and have it fixed but a voice in her head tells her not to. She goes back to her renters house, which is a gigantic mansion. She soon figures out that her renter plans to do something Callie never imagined... This is probably my favorite book of all time. I love the story line. The writing is not as detailed as a lot of other books i have read, but it is still fantastic! The sequel to this book comes out january 7th 2014, it is called Elders. Keep your eye out for it. I'm SO exited for the sequel to come out! I'm going to stay up all night reading it!

Stone in the Sky (Tin Star)

Stone in the Sky (Tin Star)

By Cecil Castellucci

This sequel to Tin Star was a deeply intense read; much more so than the first book, which was just Tula's walk in the park compared to what she goes through in this one. It starts off a bit slow, but quickly picks up the pace when something happens: a lone starship crashes on Quint, the long depleted-of-all-resources and uninhabited world. The world that Tula can only stare at from her window. Until all of a sudden the mysterious figure (sorry, no spoilers!) who mistakenly crash-landed on the planet discovers that it is blooming with alin flowers–a rare, much-sought, flower that almost no one has. This attracts much attention–especially unwanted attention. Everything that happened from that point on caused Tula to become a fugitive, forced to leave the place she has called ":home" to escape her execution. And she still seeks revenge on Brother Blue. I really enjoyed reading this book. This is not a light book. There is death, war, revenge, poverty, and sadness all around, but overall it brought a good message–hope is not something you want to lose.
