If you're very sensitive don't read this, it will make you cry. A lot. Good book but too sad.

I am a student in middle school that is an avid reader, I have wrote reviews before and am very qualified to write this review. With every turn of the page of A Monster Calls by, Patrick Ness, you dive deeper and deeper into a suspenseful plot, you will not be able to set down this book. Patrick Ness went to the University of Southern California, some of his other books, include A Knife Of Never Letting Go, as well as More Than This. My opinion of A Monster Calls is that it is one of the best fantasy books I have read, the only complaint about this book I would have, is that in some parts of the book, it was lacking some action. Overall I would rate this book 4 out of 5 stars. A Monster Calls is about a boy named Conor whose mom is dying of cancer, and Conor keeps having a reoccurring nightmare. When he has the dream, he wakes up every time at 12:07 A.M. When he wakes up one night there is a monster in his backyard that is made out of a yew tree. The monster during the day is just a plain old yew tree in the cemetery behind Conor's house. The monster tells Conor three stories which lead up to an ending that finally tells you what you have been waiting for the entire book. An example in this book, that lead me to say that it was slow in some parts, was that in between stories, there were a lot of parts that I felt were unnecessary. Also, leading up to the first story I felt there was some nonsense. If I had to compare this to a book I have read, I couldn't, because it is completely off in its own awesome category. The type of person that would enjoy this book, would be someone that has a love for fantasy books, or someone that likes a sort of spooky story.

I wasn't sure whether or not I should post individual reviews on each book in the trilogy.... I ultimately decided to kill three birds with one stone- er, book review. (They DO say the pen is mightier than the sword.) As someone who's read all the FunJungle novels and is currently in the middle of the Spy School series, I'd have to say the Moon Base Alpha books were by far the best. I wish Stuart Gibbs made more, but alas! He didn't. Anyway, it's the future, and Dashiell (Dash) Gibson (fun fact! he's named after Stuart's son) lives on a space station. On the MOON. Sounds like a dream experience, right? Wrong. The food is horrible, and there's only so much you can do with your virtual reality systems. So, Dash resorts to what any 12 year-old kid would do to pass the time- solving mysteries! Each book is chock-full of twists, turns, action, and laughter. Even if you're not into space, (I'm not! I thought I'd like FunJungle better, because I'm an animal lover, but I didn't!) you should still give this book a try. With its quirky characters, astounding world-building, and sensational suspense, Moon Base Alpha is one of the best series I've ever read!

This book is perfect for Minecraft fans or gamers. Most of the books can be read on an app called epic.

This book is about Steve and how he has a village that is hit by a Zombie Siege, and he wants to get a diamond sword so he can stop the zombies and finds a trio that wants to help him. He and Henry, Max and Lucy. Steve also goes on an adventure to the nether and gains a portal to the End. He and his friends get a lot of obsidian and kill the Ender Dragon, the most fierce creature in all of Minecraft. Steve and his friends fight a lot of zombies and kills the most powerful zombie, and has a party in his house with all his friends.

Reading this book was a huge adventure. Its like your IN IT. I hope other people liked it because I loved it.

This book is so good! It's 1969, and Mamie and her classmates are all given assignments to write letters to astronauts. Only Mamie writes to Michael Collins, the astronaut who will never walk on the moon, because he must stay with the ship, and after this trip NASA will never use him again, because there are so many other astronauts who want to go to space. She tells him about her family--her mom, her dad, her older sister Eleanor, her other sister Bess, her best friend Buster, and her cat. One night, her mom and dad have a fight, and her mom leaves, and soon after her dad tries to go after her. Eleanor, who moved out some years ago, doesn't stay long, and Bess leaves to stay with her boyfriend, and even Campbell the cat runs away. She had tried to throw a "Moonwalk Party", something her mom had wanted to do but her dad had objected, and then Mom left. But with no one there except Buster, is her party a lost cause? Will her parents get a divorce? And will the astronauts get to and from the moon safely?

2 stars--I don't want my review to be long and rambling, so let me just get to the point--I did NOT like this book. I didn't finish it--I read about 1/3 of the story before I got bored OUT OF MY MIND and had to put it down. I've read some of Chris D'Lacey's other works before, including the first five books in the Last Dragon Chronicles, so I really tried to give Fire World a chance--but it wasn't very enjoyable for me. There was almost NO action in the first third of the book. None of the people actually do anything. It's just the main character, David, living in a huge library (called the Librarium) with his friend Rosa and the Librarium's curator, Mr. Henry (who, BTW, is as dull as drying cement and not at all a noteworthy character). David doesn't have much of a personality either, other than having a crush on Rosa. I really wish there was more action and character development--the story would've been interesting if there was. Then there's Aunt Gwyneth. I just HATED her personality and the way she acted, as if she's better than everyone else. In the previous books, she was a villain for some time, but a GOOD one. I enjoyed her snappy comments and wily personality. But in this book, she's just an annoying bully who uses power and brute force to get what she wants. The plot was kind of cliche, too. The characters are living in a different world, where the only inhabitants are humans with special powers and strange creatures called firebirds. As the story progresses, the main characters eventually discover the existence of dragons. Now, where have I seen that before? I'm not saying the story needs to be completely original, but this plotline of people discovering that mythical creatures are real seems overused. The only reason I'm giving the book 2 stars instead of 1 is because D'Lacey describes everything in great detail and the world building is okay. Also, the cover is absolutely AMAZING. Seriously, it looks like a professional artist designed it. So if there are more books in the series after this one, I probably won't be reading them, because Fire World didn't live up to my expectations. This is my honest opinion.

This book shows great drama to the main character and the others. The best thing that was about this book was the funny Balloon goons. It made me laugh.
