The Lost Continent (Wings of Fire, Book 11)
By Tui T. Sutherland
So wow, I'm really loving all the new things introduced in their next arc of the Wings of Fire series. This one takes place at the same time as the tenth book, and I definitely don't recommend trying to jump into the series here. You should definitely go back and read from the beginning. I also highly suggest you read the prequel, Darkstalker before you read this one. Now with that out of the way, I loved the new types of dragons brought into our journey through the world of Wings of Fire. They're all so cool and unique. I thought how we got the history of this Lost Continent was really well done, and you can see how over time the dynamics between the different types of dragons shifted and evolved along with the environment of the continent itself. I liked the characters a lot. Blue was sooo frustrating, but that's just how he is. I thought he went through a lot of growth in this physically and mentally which was awesome to see. Luna was a great sister character pushing Blue but not too hard. Cricket was a fun, eccentric character that asks all the questions I had while reading! I really liked all of the other characters as well, and Sundew actually made me laugh out loud as I was listening to the audiobook. There is some instalove in this which was kind of annoying, but I appreciated that the novel was self aware about it and kind of pokes fun of it using other characters. I'm pretty excited to see how the new dragonets will handle their situations going forward, because this new arc promises some awesome rebellion and personal growth. It was wonderful coming back to the series through fresh eyes. I certainly had fun exploring the world, as well as the new dragons, set up by the author. It was the best course of action to focus on three species of dragons in this new world as opposed to the six that were in the previous books, especially if we are going to bring the two continents together as hinted at in the end of the last book as well as the end of this book This series follows the wonderful pacing of the previous books, starting at a calm but curious beginning and immediately throwing you into the action. I certainly was never bored while reading the book. The characters were each unique in personality and I can tell that the author is trying to branch out their appearances to match their personalities I would say the only down side would be the protagonist. That doesn't seem like a good thing but I would say this critique is that the protagonist has a loose personality. We have the main things established for Blue: He follows rules, he doesn't want to fight and cause a scene, etc. but other than that we don't see until later how his personality falls in line with his belief (the author tries to make "following the rules" a personality but it isn't). I enjoyed seeing his character slowly coming into picture but I only wish that it was clear from the beginning so we could follow his growth better. This could also apply to the other characters but not as much. I would certainly recommend this book (I already have) because it is so much fun.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Hard Luck: 8
By Jeff Kinney
I likr this book very much. It is very funny, even though I think that Greg and Rowley, best friends, are seperated too much, and you can´t live the adventures like you did in the series before. I think Jeff Kinney is an amazing author, knows how to grab the audience. The book has a very enjoyable sense of humour, and it fits to everyone who reads this book. I like how Jeff Kinney talks as if he was Greg, in a children´s way. He always has new ideas, and this book makes it to a highlight. think this book fits to everyone, because it has things that the reader lives through in the everyday life. The book would be better, and every other book of these series to, if Rowley is not the only friend of Greg. I think Greg could 1 or 2 other ones, so you have a little variety. If you read this book you can´t close the book and want to know what is written on the next page. This inspires all of us to read more. I also think that Greg also could change his personality a little, because if he always has the same personality it gets a little boring. I think everybody knows why this book has received the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Award. But you should not only rate this book on the style of writing. It also has very nice illustrations by Jeff Kinney, that kind of awake this book to life.I hope you enjoy this book after you read it. I think this book is clearly an essential:-) Hafe fun!!!
The Princess Bride (Fox): S. Morgenstern's Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure
By William Goldman
Shortly after watching the movie and LOVING it, I got the book. And I ended up loving it even more than the movie. (The movie basically took the book and chopped all the scenes and moments in half.) The Princess Bride gives so much detail, and beauty, and descriptions and you can see everything in your mind. It is a tale of "fencing, fighting, torture, poison, true love, hate, revenge, giants, hunters, bad men, good men, beautifulest ladies, snakes, spiders, beasts of all natures and descriptions, pain, death, brave men, coward men, strongest men, chases, escapes, lies, truths, passion, and miracles." (If you read that whole paragraph I commend you.) You get to sympathize with everyone (except Prince Humperdinck, Vizzini, and Count Rugen) going from Buttercup to Westley to Inigo to Fezzik and every one of them has a story that is no less than heartbreaking, thrilling, beautiful, or painful. This book is proof that old books are just as good stories as any modern book, and you NEED to read this if you ever crave adventure, true love, or if you just need a book that you will read and re-read over and over!

Refugee
By Alan Gratz
This book is amazing! It is about three different kids escaping their home countries to freedom. Isabel, a Cuban girl, is escaping in a small boat with her pregnant mother on board. The boat is built by family friends that were willing to lend a helping hand. Mahmoud, a Syrian boy, is escaping by foot and boat. He goes through many hard times on his long journey to Europe. Josef, a Jew, is escaping Nazi, Germany with his mother, father, and little sister Ruthie. He goes through challenges regarding his father who was captured and taken to a concentration camp where he was scarred for life. I made a connection to this book because I have read other books by Alan Gratz and with similar war-like themes. I would give this book a five-star rating because it is so enticing and makes you want to keep reading. I would recommend this book to 5th-7th graders.

Zeus the Mighty: The Quest for the Golden Fleas (Book 1)
By Crispin Boyer
If you like Greek mythology (and cute pets), then this is the book for you! Zeus the hamster has to go on a quest of epic proportions to try to obtain the golden fleece (fleas), which is a symbol of power. While he is on his journey, he faces many dangers, including vicious Harpies, a sea monster, and a 'dragon'! And, to make matters worse, Zeus's fellow gods might start a mutiny! Can Zeus get the fleece to enforce his position or, a better question, can he make it out alive? Read this book to find out! Personally, I enjoyed reading this novel and, even if it could get slightly boring at times, overall it was a great read.
Escaping Peril (Wings of Fire, Book 8)
By Tui T. Sutherland
I just finished Wings of Fire, Escaping Peril, a fantasy by Tui T. Sutherland, for the eighth time (It's still awesome!) and Wings of Fire is the best series ever! It is about a SkyWing named Peril who is a firescales (meaning that her scales are as hot as fire so she is super dangerous) and was very loyal to Queen Scarlet of the SkyWings. Until she met Clay. In the first book she is a Scarlet loyalist but then Scarlet Imprisons Clay and his friends and she falls in love with Clay. This makes her realize how evil Scarlet is and how horribly she treats her prisoners. Anyway now, in the eighth book Peril is no longer loyal to Scarlet and will do anything that she could ever possibly do to protect Clay. After Scarlet threatens Jade Mountain Academy, Peril realizes that the only thing that Clay wants, the only thing that will make Clay feel like he and his friends are safe, even if he will never admit it, is for Queen Scarlet to be killed. So Peril sets out to find the missing Queen and to kill her. Peril’s plan was to kill Scarlet immediately, without letting Scarlet talk her out of it. But things don't quite go as planned…
