Frank Einstein and the Antimatter Motor (Frank Einstein series #1): Book One
By Jon Scieszka
Frank Einstein is a science genius. He works on inventions and helps his grandpa with his shop while his crazy parents are traveling around the world for their travel blog. But Gramps is about to lose the shop because of the lack of finances, and Frank is convinced that he can win the Science Fair and win the money he needs to keep it open. On the night he tries to bring his robot to life, he misses his chance. Or so he thinks—a spark creates a chain reaction and builds two robots; and Frank is oblivious. After his failed invention, he wants to create something bigger, and better with the robots help, but his arch-nemesis may prove to be an obstacle. In a science-filled story, Jon Scieszka writes an illustrated adventure that is great for younger readers. My thoughts: I thought this book was a fast and fun read. I liked everything about this book, and I think young readers will love it, as well as fans of science. The illustrations were amazing, and I love the cover. This was a wonderful start to a sure-to-be-loved middle-grade series!
Tales from Lovecraft Middle School #1: Professor Gargoyle
By Charles Gilman
This book was one of the best books I've read. It was really intriguing and I enjoyed it a lot. One of the best parts of the book was the cover. It had the type of material where you could scratch it like on some Valentine cards except I've never seen it on a book. If you turn it side to side it shows a normal Professor and Professor Gargoyle. The book is about a seventh grader named Robert Arthur who's life has turned upside down. He was forced to switch schools while all of his friends stayed at the other school. The only person he knows at Lovecraft Middle School is the bully who had been tormenting him for years and will stop at nothing to get every single dollar out of Robert. Lovecraft Middle School has just been built and has everything state-of-the-art, but Robert doesn't like it. Things get even weirder when rats start jumping out of the brand new lockers. To top it off, his science teacher may not be human. With the help of some unexpected new friends can Robert save himself let alone Lovecraft Middle School? Professor Gargoyle was a fresh and exciting book. I can't wait to red the next Lovecraft Middle School book: The Slither Sisters!

It was an action adventure. Zeus was the youngest of six siblings the other five had been swallowed by their father Kronos.

So they went down to Tartarus to free the cyclops's and hundred handers. The Cyclops's made the weapons and the hundred handers decided to help destroy the titans by throwing boulders
The Lunch Witch #1
By Deb Lucke
If your looking for something out of the ordinary (or maybe your mother didn't pack you a lunch) check out this hilarious graphic novel. Grunhilda, a witch out of work (people just don't believe in magic like they used to), takes a job as a lunch lady. Everything is going fine until Madison discovers her secret and threatens to expose her. Beautiful black humor and plenty of awkwardness to go around. If you want a good story, you won't go hungry.
Meet the Bigfeet (The Yeti Files #1)
By Kevin Sherry
While this book is below my grade level - way below - I actually found it to be amusing to an extent. This story is told through the perspective of Blizz Richards, a yeti who hangs around other creatures to study them. All of them have one thing in common : they can't be seen by humans. So when Blizz's cousin disappears, ashamed after being captured on camera by one of the world's most motivated cryptids researcher, Blizz makes it his mission to find his cousin during the family reunion. He does, and things only take a more interesting turn from there. Spoiler: the picture does not make it into the hands of the 'researcher' I think that as a book for younger children, Sherry's story is a good one. Definitely something I would give to a younger sibling as a gift. However, through the eyes of a more experienced reader, the plot is a little too simple, or coincidental. In all, I would rate this with 4 stars.

The Grimm Conclusion (A Tale Dark & Grimm)
By Adam Gidwitz
This book was great! Like all of them say, Joringel (Your-ingel) makes the devil cry! Eventually, kids end up building a fortress and battling the adults! Joringel and Jorinda (Your-inda) even meet the author of the book! This book also has tons of references to the 1st and 2nd book. But be warned: This book is not for 5 year olds. This fairy tale is dark and gory. There's a lot of blood in this book, and little kids will probably have nightmares. With that said, check this book out!
