14-year-old Brystal Evergreen's favorite activity is reading. The problem is, in the Southern Kingdom, girls are trained to be wives when they grow up. This means that instead of studying subjects like math or science, girls are taught how to serve the right amount of tea or how to curtsy One day after school while walking past the library(which she is not allowed to enter) Brystal sees a help wanted sign for a maid. It's the perfect excuse for going into the library and reading all the books! Brystal quickly applies for the job. Soon, while cleaning the library, Brstal finds a secret passageway that leads to dozens of books. Why would someone need to hide books? She discovers that the books are banned, and they are all about topics like how the justices banished the trolls because they wanted their land. All the authors were executed, except for one. The book is called The Truth About Magic, and obviously, it is about magic. Brystal discovers that she is actually a fairy! In a matter of days, Brystal is sent to the Bootstrap Correctional Facility for Young Women. The facility "cures" fairies by making them do chores like digging holes in the ground and making shoes.One day, a strange fairy named Madame Weatherberry visits the facility. To her astonishment, Madame Weatherberry chooses Brystall for a school or fairies. Brystal learns how to use her powers. But in the end, how will they show the public that fairies are good? I liked this book because it had a twist at the end that I wasn't expecting. This book is great for people who like fantasy.

A book about cats and hurricanes, this is. In the summer of whatever year–actually, I don't know if it was summer or not, but anyway, a great storm hits the lake territories, where, incidentally, some cats are living. Bramblestar, leader of ThunderClan, one of the little cat groups, decides to help his cats by relocating them to the tunnels, where it is damp and cold but safe from floodwater. As the floodwaters slowly recede, ThunderClan runs into many troubles, such as foxes, badgers, and having to hunt in an unfamiliar part of the forest. Then, Bramblestar saves three house cats from drowning, which at first causes dissent among the cats. All the while Bramblestar is wrestling with the legacy of the great leader Firestar and contemplating about whether or not to help ShadowClan, where his sister lives. Very interesting. So why did I give this work 3 starry thingys? Well, its plot was a bit too long and it had too many climaxes. Also, the writing was good but not great. So while I liked it, it could have been better. You should probably read some of the other Warriors books before this, but it wouldn't be too confusing if you didn't. I would recommend this book for cat lovers.

The series was really cool! Imagine a world where all your everyday creatures are oversized. That is what the UNDERWORLD is like in Gregor's land. He must venture out into the world and save Regalia, which is like Rome but a lot more modern, and dark. Collins wrote a book nothing like the hunger games, and I think all of the Collins fans out there should read it!

This book is the perfect pick for anyone who likes slightly-spooky mysteries with amazing endings. I completely and totally loved this book. After receiving it from a Dogo freebie last year, I've read it at least 5 times because it was so amazing. Jacob follows his grandfather's mysterious last words to go to a loop, with a bird, September 3rd, 1940. He soon finds himself on the small island of Cairnholm, in which he tracks down the big children's home his grandfather had sought refuge in during World War II. Jacob finds the place wrecked and crumbling, until he finds a trunk filled to the brim with the fantastically eery photographs his grandfather had shown him of his children's home friends, who all had a peculiar ability. Jacob had always thought they were fairy tales... until he stumbles through a cairn bog and finds himself in September 3rd, 1940. All the kids from the photographs are there. And they all have peculiar abilities, like levitation, super strength, futuristic dreams... Is Jacob one of them? Jacob goes through a spectacular journey to figure out what happened to his grandfather, who these children are and why they are still alive, and ultimately, how to find himself. In this amazing book, you will meet unforgettable characters and stories that will make you race to find the sequel. This is one of my favorite books, and I'm sure you will enjoy it too. Because of the occasional spookiness and language, I recommend this book for ages 12 and up.

Warning: Spoilers Ahead So, I thought this book was good. It had amazing character development, fascinating backstories, and I loved how the pictures fit so well in the book. I loved Emma's character, and how realistically she felt about Jacob, and how the settings in this book were so detailed and different than the other. I liked how Jacob actually thought about his family instead of having them completely thrown out the story. I'm especially intrigued by Millard, and his love for knowledge (particularly about Peculiars) and I thought the the entire history of Peculiars and how the Wights were looking for Peculairs' souls was very original. The humor in this book is perfect, and I love the interactions between all of them. I love how Bronwyn is sort of like a mother/big sister towards Claire and Olive. The cliffhanger at the end was perfect, and I don't think I would a change a thing about this book. AWESOME BOOK 10/10

Jane, Mark, Katherine, and Martha are having a boring summer until one day, Jane finds a coin on the sidewalk. When she inadvertently wishes for a fire, she discovers the coin's secret: it grants wishes! But you have to wish two times your wish, otherwise, it will only grant half of it. Soon, they use the magical charm to go on adventures, including meeting Sir Lancelot and going to a desert! What will happen next? How will the coin change their lives? This book was great, and I liked how the author told the story. Also, it was super funny! I recommend this book to people who like hilarious books with a bit of fantasy.

This is an amazing book! Already read through the series 5 times. Highly recommended. If you like fighting books and books about training and stuff this is the book for you.

Stormbreaker is a scientific and adventure novel by Anthony Horowitz and is the most thrilling book I've read this semester. The character, Alex Rider, is a normal teen who lives with his uncle. But after his uncle's death, he founds out that his uncle is a secret agent and soon carries on his mission. Along the way, he faces different challenges and has to figure out how to save the world before the Stormbreaker computers "invade" Earth. I really like Alex because he is really brave, strong, intelligent, and is always up for a new challenge. One of my favorite scenes is when he is almost killed by Baron, but one of the workers help him escape. I was super nervous when I was reading that chapter and it was really a cliff-hanger that I didn't expect. This book is perfect for teens that like sci-fi but more realistic than fantasies, it's an amazing book!

The Smartest id in the Universe is a great start to the brand new series by Chris Grabenstein, the author of the Lemoncello series and other amazing books. Jake is a slacker. He is a cool kid who doesn't put much effort into school. He doesn't care about academics, but that changes when he eats some jelly beans at his mom's work. Being careless, Jake doesn't look at the label, and it turns out those jellybeans were knowledge enhancers. Now Jake knows almost everything in the world, and people are starting to get suspicious. He excels on the IQ tests, and even signs up for the Quiz Bowl with his best friend and crush. But when his crush starts to tell about a tale and how the principle is going to shut down the school, it's up to Jake to use his newfound intelligence to save his school and his crush's legacy. Will he be able to outsmart everyone in his school to save it, or will his knowledge fail him and his friends? I really enjoyed this book because of the idea and humor this book presented. I recommend this book to readers!

The best book I have ever read since A Hole New World. Again, Pat and Jen make such a great adventure book. It combines action and adventure into one big graphic novel.
