Buddy C. Burger is back, and more famous than he thought he ever would be. He's starring in a sitcom as his true self, an alien; though no one but Cassidy and Luis, his two best friends, knows. But as Buddy continues his acting career, things start to go wrong. A nosy photographer is trying to get close to Buddy, someone tries to yank at his sensory enhancer at a Nike store, and Martha starts to act differently. It's then that Buddy realizes that he and his friends might not be the only ones who know his true identity, and that the others who do might not be as they seem... And if that's not bad enough, Buddy starts to feel his friendship with Cassidy starting to fade, and soon he's kicked out of her house. Things with Luis aren't going so well either when Buddy is forced to leave him behind at a convention. Without his friends, his body starts to become weaker. He is not getting the nutrients he needs, and when he needs it the most, will it be there? Will Buddy find a way to get back his friendships with his best friends, or will he have to leave to his home planet because of something he should have noticed a while ago with the people who hate him? And what if the people aren't really people? What if they came to take Buddy home? I really liked this book, and I thank DOGO for letting me own this book from a giveaway!

Why is that? It's fun to read about magic. If you read it, it doesn't mean that the stuuuuf in the book is real. Basically my entire reading selection is fantasy and magical stuff

As the amazing book series continues on to the sixth book, we experience the epic page-turning, hanging of the seat feeling as we read through the romance, mystery, magical book. One True King is about the fight for the One True King of the endless woods. Camelot, being the main kingdom of all kingdoms, doesn't have a true king yet. And as two fight for the throne, we see that there is much more than we see. In the eyes of Sophie, she is just scared and confused. In the eyes of Agatha, she is scared for Sophie and also wants to protect Tedros from the Snake. In the eyes of Tedros, he just thinks that Japeth is a liar and should be dead. In the eyes of Japeth, he thinks he is the rightful king. And along the book, we find more truth. But we all assume Tedros is the rightful king--right? More through the story, we find the once helpless characters are more than what we see. We meet more helpful and unhelpful characters that add to the suspense! This book is amazing--again, and is something you should definitely read. One big battle for love and throne. And at the same time, the original School for Good and Evil is questioning loyalty. But at the same time they are trying to help Agatha. Read the book of wonder as soon as you get the chance! If you liked the other books in this series, than you will love this!!! If you like troubling romance and challenges or you just have some random obsession with fairy tales you will like this book!

Flowers for Algernon features mentally impaired Charlie Gordon who is to keep a progress report journal so that neurosurgeons Dr. Nemur and Dr. Strauss could keep track of his intelligence growth. Charlie was born with an under-average IQ of 68 and had a weak creative intelligence. However, he was always motivated to be smart because he feels he will be just like everyone else if he keeps trying. The doctors soon gave him an operation that was to triple his IQ to 204 (which would be above genius). He soon became friends with a white mouse named Algernon who also went through the same operation as Charlie to become smart. Both Charlie and Algernon completed mazes every day to test their intelligence. Charlie was originally made fun of at work for being "mentally retarded" but he was soon fired because he became a genius within a week. Everyone thought he was strange and he became more lonely. Algernon sadly reached the side effects of the operation and lost its life. Charlie was soon losing his intelligence rapidly and his ability to read and write fluently. When Algernon died, Charlie put flowers on its grave for the loss of his best friend. Charlie decided to start a new life in New York where no one would know he was a genius once. Honestly, this book was very touching and portrayed that it is not a person's fault they are not perceived to be smart. We also learn that an IQ cannot measure the full capability of a person's mind.

“When the Sea Turned to Silver” is an amazing book that takes us into a story with Pinmei, her grandmother called the Storyteller, and a young boy called Yishan. Pinmei is a silent girl that can’t really talk in front of strangers, and only shows her personality to her grandmother (whom she called Amah). But one day, the Emperor takes Pinmei’s Amah away! Pinmei is confused and devastated. After Yishan saves her from her burning hut, the two embark on a perilous journey to save Amah and in search of the Luminous Stone That Lights The Night. They meet a beautiful woman named Lady Meng, ride a LongMa (a dragon horse), meet the Sea King, and find out so much stuff about old stories in China. And if you want to know the end of the story, Pinmei was reunited with her Amah, and Yishan actually was the Old Man of the Moon! Anyways, Grace Lin is an amazing author and I have to give this book 4 stars. Thanks for reading. - reapu
