The Siren Song (Cronus Chronicles, Book Two)

The Siren Song (Cronus Chronicles, Book Two)

By Anne Ursu

Some people say sequels aren't as good as the original, however the second book of the Cronus Chronicles is proof that this saying isn't always right. This book is insanely charming, starring a colorful and lovable cast of characters. Displaying interesting and hilarious takes on famous figures of Greek mythology. In this book, the role of antagonist is split between three different characters, yet all of them are still fabulously twisted. This is the only book that had me list Narrator as one of my favorite characters. The Narrator seems to morph his/her beliefs depending on which character he/she is narrating. This style definitely richens the story because the Narrator explains the antagonists or protagonists way of thinking, which can be hilariously mislead or cunning. The author has an amazing talent to write both comedy and action well, all while keeping it appropriate. If yo want to skip out a sequel, don't let it be this one!

Traitor in the Shipyard: A Caroline Mystery (American Girl Mysteries)

Traitor in the Shipyard: A Caroline Mystery (American Girl Mysteries)

By Kathleen Ernst

I have read many AG mysteries, and this one is one of my top 3. It has everything a mystery needs: action, creepiness, and a ton of heart. It is a great book for anyone who likes a mystery that the author took a lot of passion in writing.

Holly's Jolly Christmas (Katie Kazoo, Switcheroo)

Holly's Jolly Christmas (Katie Kazoo, Switcheroo)

By Nancy Krulik

Have you ever seen a person turn into a reindeer? In this book Katie, George (Katie’s good friend), and their teacher Mr. G, are all in the Christmas spirit. Katie especially wants it to be Christmastime. She was so happy when for lunch Katie got a Sandwich with lettuce, tomato and cheese that was shaped like a tree. She had a red and white candy cane for her desert. She is careful not to wish for anything because when she makes wishes, they actually come true!! Katie has a magic wind that can change her into anything including pets and other people. Hopefully Katie doesn’t mess up with Christmas with any switcheroos. Can she do it??? I love this book. One reason is because it is funny. In school Mr.G is the crazy teacher. He lets the kids have teams to fit as many balls into George’s pants. Another reason is that it is full of adventures. Katie got changed into a reindeer because in the nighttime there was a star on top of her head and the next day she turned into a reindeer. It was a great book you should read it.

Camo Girl

Camo Girl

By Kekla Magoon

I recently read the book Camo Girl by Kekla Magoon. In this book, a girl named Ella lives with her grandmother and mother. Her mother is only home on weekends because, she works the rest of the week. Ella's father died a few years ago. Ella's face is light brown and dark brown, that's why the kids tease her and call her Camo Face, or CF. Her only friend is Z. Z is very smart and also lost his father, his father left Z and his mom. When a new boy, Bailey moves to town Ella becomes friends with him when he is the only other African American kid in their school. Z starts to get jealous, and Ella must decide on what to do about it. She must also decide to stay friends with Z, or start hanging with the other kids. I thought this book was very sad, but I liked it even though it almost made me cry. If you don't like sad books, I would not recommend this book to you. The genre is realistic fiction because people actually have this skin condition and the events in this book could actually happen. Someone who would like this book, is someone who enjoys books about social rankings and bullying. Both of these things happen in this book. It is more of a girl book, so I wouldn't recommend it to boys, but they may enjoy it. This book is mainly a man vs self because, Ella is debating herself on sitting with Z or the other kids. Overall, I loved this book even when it was sad and totally recommend.

The Monstrumologist

The Monstrumologist

By Rick Yancey

The Monstrumologist was an exemplary book with the perfect mix of Adventure, Horror, Science-fiction and even a touch of Historical Fiction. I was pleased with the fact that there was no Romance within this novel (a genre I despise). The suspension was exhilarating, and I kept flipping pages. The amount of detail painted a vivid picture in my mind and often made me reel in disgust or gape at the amount of dedication it must have taken to create a book with so many layers and sub-mysteries. I recommend not consuming any food or drink while reading this book, because it gets delightfully gory at some parts. Otherwise, I highly recommend that you pick up this book and start reading. It won't fail to impress! The preferred age range would be 13+ and it will appeal mostly to males (since little to no romance exists in this book). There is a touch of mature content, but nothing you can't handle. I loved this book (it is one of my favorites) and you will too. (Remember, it's part of a series!)
