The G-Man Super Journal: Awesome Origins (Amp Comics for Kids)
By Chris Giarrusso
Bert
This book is fantastic. If you're wondering whether or not you might enjoy it, here's a question to ask yourself: "do I enjoy Pixar movies?" If the answer is "yes," then you'll enjoy this book. The writing in The G-Man Super Journal is very strong and very clever. The drawings that accompany the writing are beautifully done, some are in the artist's super-polished and professional style; others are in the G-Man character's style, as he is the one "writing" and "drawing" in his journal. So what sets this book apart from other journals on the shelves? In G-Man's world, superheroes and super powers are real. And while many of the characters are superheroes, they're all still dealing with real-life trials and tribulations, like elementary school, homework, and problem solving. The author sincerely conveys what it's like to be in the shoes of the school kids, and their experiences ring true. Kid readers will no doubt relate to these experiences; adult readers will no doubt remember what it was like. The way G-Man and his friends tackle difficult situations in the story is both funny and inspiring. I've read this book three times now and it always manages several laughs out loud, no easy task. Looking forward to additional volumes in this fun, witty, and heartfelt series.
The Elements of Harmony: Friendship is Magic (My Little Pony)
By Brandon T. Snider
The ponies embark on many epic adventures. And to now see in book form is amazing. Seasons 1-3 shows and songs this book is totes one of the best books ever! If you like My Little Pony a ton you should read "Journal of the 2 sisters", about the diary of Luna and Clestia when they were younger. The My Little pony Books are some of the best books ever! I LOVE FLUTTERSHY!

As a 6th grade kid, this is still even a good book that will have you right on your toes. I highly suggest this for young thrillseekers wanting a nice book to read.
I Shall Wear Midnight (Tiffany Aching)
By Terry Pratchett
This book is the fourth book in the five book Discworld series starring Tiffany Aching. Tiffany is now officially the witch of the chalk, and performs all the little tasks that ordinary people don't or can't perform. But now, something is stirring dark feelings against witches, and even the Nac Mac Feegles can not help her against this force. But yet, other things happen. Roland has a new fiance, Letitia, and there is to be a wedding. Yet wedding plans are vetoed when the old baron dies. Feegles set fire to broomsticks, and tie shoelaces together, and there may be more to Letitia than meets the eye. The fourth book in this series is darker than the rest of the books. Yet it carries the same strong female lead, and the message of overcoming bigotry as the rest of the books. Recommended for grades 5 and up.
A Week without Tuesday (Tuesday McGillycuddy Adventures)
By Angelica Banks
After the exciting, rather exhausting adventures of "Finding Serendipity", Tuesday McGillycuddy is more than happy to lead a "normal" life - that is, until her slightly overprotective father, Dennis, rushes in with shocking headlines: "SEVEN WRITERS GONE MISSING." A frantic Dennis warns his wife and daughter to stop doing the thing they love most: writing, as to avoid being the next victim - but he is not able to stop the imaginative Tuesday and her loyal Winged Dog, Baxterr, from getting whisked away by her friend, Vivienne Small, who desperately needs Tuesday's help. After a Winged Dog's death, Vivienne's world has been turned topsy-turvy - and she blames the mysterious "G", who writes in his note that, "I cannot keep the worlds apart much longer." Without his power, the two worlds of story and reality will collide - and only Tuesday can save both worlds.. But will Tuesday and Vivienne be able to solve a mystifying mystery and save the world (again) at the same time? Poor Tuesday.. First of all, I would like to say that this book was oh-so-terribly cheesy at times, but I suppose I warmed up to it after a while - in fact, I would say that this book's "cheesiness" is what made it really pop out for me. Most books in the fantasy genre have plenty of angst and gruesome battles, but never really focus on more subtle themes like friendship and family - and they should. When I finished "A Week Without Tuesday", the ending was bittersweet - it left me yearning for more adventures with curious Tuesday and spunky Vivienne, who I had grown rather fond of. This book was written in a "childish" manner, with parts that made me smile cheekily, but was also overly descriptive, fitting as much detail into a page as possible - it was wonderful. When I finished "A Week Without Tuesday," I sighed with contentment, flopped over in my bed, and immediately went to make some blueberry pancakes and started working on my abandoned stories again. My hat is off to authors Heather Rose and Danielle Wood (Angelica Banks...) for a lovely sequel :)
Nightmares!
By Jason Segel, Kirsten Miller

Whether your nightmares are clowns or the dark, Nightmares! Is a book you wanna read, it has a great plot with well thought out characters, it has also some humor injected into it, like when Dabney, a clown, told Charlie, the main character, to not kill anyone when he borrowed his car. It is also full of suspense which makes it a real page-turner, unlike the other books I have read. I have recently finished the book and cannot wait for the sequel coming out in the Fall of 2015. In conclusion the book has earned 2nd place of my all time favorite book list. Good job Jason and Kirsten!
The Mouse with the Question Mark Tail
By Richard Peck
I love this book so far! It is about a little orphan mouse with no name who leaves the Mews to go and find out some information about his past. He goes and meets lots of people, like the cat, the horse, and even the queen! I think you should read this if you love books with adventure!

My Robots: The Robotic Genius of Lady Regina Bonquers III
By Johan Olander
Surprisingly, I did not like this book at all. It was very jumpy. Just random drawings, no real storyline or anything, just random drawings. I do not recommend.
