Milo Pine looks forward to spending his winter break drinking hot chocolate and hanging out with his parents at Greenglass House, the inn they run. But no such luck. As soon as Milo finishes his homework, the doorbell rings—and in comes a strange guest named Mr. Vinge. Milo’s disappointed...but one guest’s not such a big problem, is it? Turns out, he’s wrong. Soon, guests are pouring in through the doors of Greenglass House, each with their own mysterious reasons for coming to the inn. There’s Georgie Moselle, the blue-haired girl who loves photography; Mrs. Hereward and Dr. Goverwine, the total opposites who are always arguing; and Clem Candler, a cheerful lady who claims to be a thief. When things start to get fishy, and a mystery plot set up by one of the guests sucks everyone in, Milo must find out what’s happening—and fast. Along with his new friend Meddy, he discovers more secrets—and answers to his deepest questions. Can he and Meddy solve the mystery of who has been stealing from the guests and framing them? Read this book to find out! Overall, I liked this book, and rate it 4/5 stars. I recommend Greenglass House for anyone who doesn’t mind a little slowness, but likes a good mystery book.

Ever since Ollie, Coco, and Brian managed to outwit the Smiling Man in his haunted corn maze, the friends have hoped that would be the last they would see of him. But when Ollie and her friends go to a lodge near the Mount Hemlock Ski Resort, they find out that it is haunted by the ghosts of Mistress Hemlock and a ghost named Gretel. Their problems get worse when they are trapped in a snowstorm in the lodge. Could it get any worse? Unfortunately, it does. But then Ollie, Coco, and Bryan find out that the Smiling Man is in the lodge with them, and this time, he's determined to trap Ollie and her friends in a mirror forever. I liked this book because it contained a lot of suspense, and it is sort of creepy.

It really cool!!! The book is about a mean principal who is a super hero but, he doesn't know he is. George and Harold are two bad kids who get in all types of trouble. One time aliens attacked Earth making everyone zombie nerds. George and Harold have Captain Underpants super power juice to save the world.

i think this is the third book of the above world series it will be out in 2014 if you want to read it that is

Aluna has lived her entire life under the sea. She is a Coral Kampii - a splinter of humans that came to live in the sea generations ago to escape the horrors and dangers of the above world. She is only a day away from getting her tail and being confined to the water forever when she sees her friend floating dead in the water. Her breathing shell - the shells attached to their throats that allow them to breathe under water - had broken, causing her to drown. When she reports it to the Elders, she is surprised at their obstinance: ‘no one will venture out to the Above World’, they say, ‘no one will go looking for HydroTek, the tech company that made the necklaces’, ‘these deaths were just accidents’. Aluna knows the survival of her fellow Kampii and the city are in danger so she rejects her tail and escapes above in a last effort to save her people (and escape the fate that they’ve laid out for her - who wants to stay at home safe all day so she can rear children? She wants to be a hunter!) But can Aluna and her tech-savvy best friend Hoku survive in a world full of dangerous no-longer-humans, modified to live in their extreme environments as a cause of overcrowding and save their city too? This is a dystopian novel set in a world so far in the future where overpopulation has led humans to adapt to live in harsher environments - growing tails, wings, horse hooves, etc. It’s a very engaging story and is very suspenseful, kind of scary, but very exciting. It teaches to think beyond the set boundaries and to think before you act. Loyalty and friendship were very evident themes and the technology was like a kind of magic. I think this is a great read that most kids should enjoy.

This book was fantastic but out of 5 stars I will choose 4. I really loved George’s and Harold’s invention. I thought it was funny how Bionic Booger Boy doesn’t like tissues but he likes water. I also loved how creative George and Harold are when they make comic books. It is interesting how even though Melvin hates George and Harold they just mind their own business. I also loved how they always stick together when it comes to a problem. When I saw this book there was a show on it so I watched it and it was amazing just like the book. I really recommend you to read the book if you like comedy books.

Dav Pilkey's eighth epic novel promises evil, horror, and "laffs," and delivers all three. In this unusual episode, George and Harold take a wrong turn somewhere and wind up in a surrealistic alternate reality where everything is the opposite of what they are used to. As they try to adjust to a place where teachers are nice and cafeteria food is good, our heroes encounter evil versions of themselves. Unless our duo can stop them, these evil twins plan to destroy their hometown. Thats when Great granny girdle and Boxer boy come to save the twins and Captain underpants from their doom! The evil version of George and Harold plus Captain blunderpants are defeated and the world is safe again.. Now, what could possibly go wrong?...

I got this book series for Christmas after reading about the first book, "The Giver" in class. I highly recommend the series, even if I didn't read them all because I know that they are very unique in the way Lois Lowry writes them. Every time I read them, I feel happy because they aren't the usual magical animal kind of books, kids moving to new schools and states, or any kids dealing with the loss of someone(even though those are pretty good, it isn't as unique as you think it is, but still very inspirational).

A Wish In The Dark by Christina Soontornvat is about Pong that escapes prison while Nok chases him. Pong’s friend Somkit secretly helps Pong escape from prison after the governor comes. Pong comes to a tiny village almost drowning, and stealing food from a temple someone stopped him. Father Cham helped hide him until Nok finds Pong, then he jumped on a boat and the villagers are trying to find him. In Chattanna Pong fell into the water and his friend helps him get out of the water. While his friend takes him to a hiding place in the town. Nok found out where Pong is in Chattanna. Somkit found a way to make sun orbs that are gold. The hiding place caught on fire and all Somkit’s work got destroyed! I liked this book because it was about a kid who tries to find his own right in the city. Will Pong and Somkit survive the fire? If you want to find out read the book.

A page-turning adventure, Jennifer Lynn Alvarez brings to life the beloved characters of The Guardian Herd in this brilliant action-packed book.
