Kids Books - Science Fiction

This started out a little slow, but as the story wore on, I began to become invested in the plot, and now I can't wait to read the end to this trio!

Getting close to the end and I'm sad. In this book we learn a lot about Cricket and her life before she met her friends. We learn why she's different and how she really feels about Blue. Lots of twists and turns abound in this installation of the story, and there is no lacking for suspense in this one either. My favorite part only gives away a small portion of the plot line but I have to mention it. They end up caring for a baby dragonet that hatches on their watch and it becomes attached to the grumpy Sundew. So much cuteness and hilariousness ensues! I so love that part of the story! Can't wait to see how it develops and if it does in the next book, which I could only get in hardcover and is sitting next to me. A wonderful series and I love it. For such a short Wings of Fire book, I found myself clinging to the pages, eager to see what was going to happen next. This series hasn't disappointed me yet, and this book certainly didn't let me down. The characters are all so lovable, especially sweet bookworm Cricket and Sundew, who grew on me as the book progressed. But what I really like about this particular arc of the Wings of Fire series is just how serious these books get. This one deals with slavery and neglectful parents in a way that I believe any reader could understand and draw their own conclusions from. And of course, what I always love about this series are the epilogues. This book's epilogue was chilling, and I cannot wait to read book 13 to see what happens next.

BEST SERIES EVER!! Book 6 was kind of a continuation of Book 5, where it suddenly twists it at the end - like in the movies, where the guy you think is the good guy turns out to be the murderer in the end! Well, it turned out like this kind of in the book (although not with murderers but with taking over kingdoms and castles and locking people up and stuff like that!) Well, Will calls on the help of his friends Halt and Horace to round up an army to retake Castle Macindaw! Except, if they don't have enough men all they can do is use some brilliant genius to make up a big trick!! (Or hire some Skandians to help!... or is it Skandinavians... I forgot... ;P) Or maybe he'll do both! Really, read this book!! (and check out my other reviews on books earlier on in the series!)

In this book, six sixth-graders form their own secret society devoted to Egypt-related things. In the beginning, April moves from Hollywood to an unspecified Californian city famous for its university–her mother is busy pursuing a career as an esteemed actress. April, considered eccentric by many, makes friends with Melanie, who lives in April's grandmother's apartment; they discover their shared interest for imagining, and they invent the titular Egypt Game. Melanie's younger brother, a girl living in the apartment, and two boys from school all become involved in the Egypt game. But soon, a murder occurs, and the children are all cautioned to stay indoors–and the main suspect is the Professor, the reclusive man, in whose storage yard the Egyptians worship Egyptian Gods. Who is this strange human? And, who is the real criminal? This is a great book, full of good dialogue and realistic characters. It's witty and the writing is good too, but at times it seems a little dated, such as when the characters say "fink" and other weird words (this was written in 1967). I would recommend this book to people who like realistic fiction, as it focuses more on the friendships developing between the Egyptians than the actual mystery, though it is still important to the plot.

This book was incredible. I cannot believe that the sequel will pass this up! For fans of Skyward, Defy the Stars, or space romance!

I like this book because the Zombie is looking for a date for the ball. he looks for one from day to night and still can't find one. Spoiler: He goes to the ball anyway and he finds one he was in love. so that is why I give this book five stars.

In the finale of this amazing series there are a number of amazing events. First, Aragorn leads the dead to help Gondor, second the ring is destroyed and lastly the king is restored.

Title :The Spiderwick Chronicles Book 2-5 Author : Tony Diterlizzi & Holly Black Genre : fantasy and fiction I chose 3 for my rating because it's just right for me. One thing that I found interesting was all the illustrations, they were so realistic. I would recommend this book to grades 3-7.

Dang. I keep reading these books, and thinking, "Books can't get any better than this. This has got to be the best one yet!", but these books are getting better and better. If, you haven't already, read this series. Seriously.

Conor, Abeke, Meilin, and Rollan have lived pretty normal lives. They are from the four different regions of Erdas, but nothing strange and amazing has ever happened to them. Until now. All four of them summon spirit animals-lifelong animal partners that make you stronger, and is extremely rare. not only that; their spirit animals are all Great Beasts—the most powerful kind of spirit animals that exist. They are the Four Fallen-the ones that died in the great battle against the Devourer. They have risen-but so has the Devourer. The four young kids are recruited by the Greencloaks to help fight evil, and defend the four corners of Erdas. They must come together and try to somehow stop the battles going on and the Devourer-before it is too late. In an enjoyable first book, The Spirit Animals series starts of with a mission to get the talismans before the enemy does. What I thought about this book: I thought this book was an exciting start to the series. It was enjoyable, and the world, characters, and plot that are created make for a great story. Brandon Mull’s writing was great, and the concept of this book was very unique and cool. I want a spirit animal! This book was slow at times, but the ending made up for all of it. The ending was breathtaking and sad, but it was the perfect ending. After I read it, I definitely wanted to continue the series. I can’t wait to read more Brandon Mull and Spirit Animals!
