Island of the Aunts
By Eva Ibbotson
Aunt Etta, Aunt Coral and Aunt Myrtle are getting old and can not help with all of the magical creatures of the island like mermaids, selkies, and boobries because take a lot of work. However, they know that they cannot trust other adults to take care of the island and the only way is to train some trustworthy children that can keep a secret as big as the secret island. There is only one problem, the aunts don't have any children to train. The aunts decide that the only way is to resort to kidnapping. So the aunts set of to mainland England and start sorting through children. They quickly learn that most children are horrible, nasty, selfish creatures who don't know how to work at all. The aunts are ready to give up when they discover Minette and Fabio, two children who are clever, hard workers, and, most especially, underappreciated at home. Aunt Etta and Aunt Coral arrive back at the island, having successfully kidnapped their helper and are quickly followed by Aunt Myrtle, who accidently kidnapped a totally unsuitable, horrible monster of a boy. I really like this book and really recommend it.
I Survived the American Revolution, 1776
By Lauren Tarshis
Do you like book reading books about the revolutionary war? If so, I recommend this book. It is about a boy who runs away and almost gets killed. He meets a lot of people that are nice. He helps out by digging trenches and carrying water buckets. He also helps during the fight when someone dies. The story is good because he meets an old friend during the war. My favorite part is when Nate runs away from Storch. They story is good because it has a lot of action. I can connect to tis book because Nate has a lot of fiends who nice and I have a lot of Friends who are nice. I like this book because it is about the Revolutionary War. I also like it because Nate meets a lot of people and helps out during the war. I recommend this book to 4th and 5th graders and others who want to learn about the Revolutionary War.

Revenge of the Witch (Last Apprentice)
By Joseph Delaney
Okay I'm gonna be honest, when I first started reading it seemed just like an average crappy dark fanstasy novel. But lord, this series really does pick up steam. Ive been reading all of the books on and off for the past year or two, and I just finished the last book. Joseph Delaney really did put a lot of effort into this series and it totally pays off. Hes got an awesome way of creating imagery that gives you a sort of eerie feeling, and he is incredible at giving things detailed history that makes you hungry for lore and the history of chippenden and the world outside of the county. Amazing all around.

By Ru Xu
Lavender Blue is a girl disguised as a boy that works at the Bugle and when she meets and unusual boy, named Crow, who is not what he seems, they become friends. But somebody is after Crow and now Blue must help him. I would recommend this for ages 10+ This book had really good graphics but the pace was sort of weird. While some parts were super exciting, some parts were really boring. I also found some parts really confusing. Other than that, this book was super fun to read and I would recommend it to fans of Be Prepared and Invisible Emmie.

By Kathryn Lasky
I really liked it. It was very fun and gave a new look to the age of Robin Hood. My mom also read it, and said it was inaccurate. I loved it, myself, though.

Black beauty had so much event from when he got sold, passing Anne to the little boy which went to the last bit. It's so emotional. It brings a new feeling every moment. It's an amazing book.

The Time Machine
By H.G. Wells
What if someone told you that time travel was possible; that you can journey to the past or venture into the future? The Time Traveler, whose name is never revealed, is an intelligent but extremely eccentric scientist who discovers that there are four known dimensions of space--which really only means that you can easily move up and down, left and right, forward and backwards, and through Time. As long as you have entire consciousness and speed, you can break its constraints move around it. And so the unnamed Time Traveler brings himself to the year 802,701--that’s 30 million years from his own time. When he finally finds his way to the future, he finds his home--London--to be gone. Every building that formed the city no longer stands--just structures that act as homes to a society of simple-minded and innocent creatures who call themselves the Eloi. But as he continues his stay with them, he notices strange things, things the Eloi won’t tell him about. Sinister ghost-like beings that come in the night --deep voids in the ground that lead into what seems like nothing, and why are the Eloi so deathly afraid of the dark?--but ultimately, no one tells the Time Traveler about what happened to the human race. Most science fiction books during that century--the 1800s--were centered around the entire idea of being able to travel through time, but H.G. Wells was the first to actually try to explain the science of moving through the dimension of duration. Most of you probably wouldn’t enjoy books written in 1895--that’s 119 years old-- but The Time Machine really is worth reading-- and its only a little less than a hundred pages long. You’ll find that the Time Traveler, especially, is one of the most interesting parts of the book because you get to understand the mind of a scientist--it makes you think like him when you look at the world. The Time Machine is a novel that stands the test of time and humanity. But if there’s one thing I didn’t love about this book is how Wells views the--truly haunting--fate of us. And he definitely deepened the meaning of The Time Machine with thought-provoking ideas people today haven’t really cared enough to think about--the idea that today’s problems such as rampant industrialization and especially class struggle, will carry on to the future even 800,000 years from now. And although it’s only fiction, the way Wells portrays the future can very well be true. The human race doesn’t end, of course--but something much worse happens; something inhumane. “It sounds plausible enough tonight,” says the Time Traveler, “but wait until tomorrow. Wait for the common sense of the morning...for after the Battle comes quiet.”
