This book opens with Jabez Wilson, a pawnbroker with unique blazing red hair, visiting Sherlock Holmes to ask for help about a mysterious job he and Wilson had been working. For the simple task of copying parts of a book for a few hours each day, Wilson was paid an amount by a Red-headed League; but suddenly, the Red-headed League disappeared. Holmes investigated and concluded that Vincent Spaulding, who had just recently begun working as an assistant at Wilson's shop and had shown Wilson the Red-headed League's advertisement in a newspaper, is the infamous criminal, John Clay. He figures out Clay had been using the scam of the Red-Headed League to keep Wilson out of his shop so that Clay, along with some accomplice, could dig a tunnel to the vault of a neighboring bank. Along with a bank manager and a police chief, Holmes sets up an ambush in the bank vault and captures the criminals. This is the first sherlock holmes I read. And its amazing!

This book was so good! Having a sister, myself, I can definitely relate to how Dawn feels in this story! After Dawn's and Mary Anne's parents get married, the girls are excited to be not only best friends but also stepsisters! They'll share a room, borrow each other's clothes, and so much more! But having a sister isn't what is seems. Dawn never expected Mary Anne to be so territorial and mean. The girls are at war with each other. Dawn thought having a sister would be fun, not annoying! I thought this book was relatable, fun to read, and funny. It showed, by the end of the story, that family looks out for family. It also teaches the importance of compromising, even if that means not doing exactly what you wanted. I suggest if you like family, friendship, babysitting, and reading about sisters. Happy reading!

I loved this book! One of my absolute favorites! Stacey loves math and she especially likes her teacher. So, when her teacher says there is going to be a substitute teacher, Stacey is disappointed. That is until she meets the new teacher, Wesley Ellenburg. He's handsome. He's smart. He's kind. He looks like Tom Cruise. He's....22. Stacey is madly in love with Wes, but the other BSC girls think he's too old for her. I thought this book was amazing! This book had so many good lessons. The reader learns various lessons about love, trusting in friends, and thinking before doing. The author did a wonderful job of getting the reader really into the story. At some points the reader just wants to yell at Stacey, telling her that she is making a mistake, and other times the reader wants to comfort Stacey. I thought this book was exceptional and suggest if you like reading about romance, babysitting, and friendship. Happy reading!

A kid from an inner city school longs to go to art school, but his parents want him to have opportunities and they send him to a prep school that's private where he is a minority among wealthy kids. It's the classic fish out of water, having to find your way in school story. It's well done and he makes friends and eventually he likes his new school. He has to figure out how to fit in to all the different parts of his life. This might be part one and we might get the 2nd year soon. I look forward to it. The art style is full of energy and a dichotomy of the two worlds. Jordan is an artist and his little cartoons are blended in with the story. This won the Newbery and I don't know if the Newbery should give out awards to graphic novels, it does deserve awards. I really enjoyed this and I most definitely recommend this to middle graders.

I am reading the New York Yankees it is very informational and it makes me want to play ball.

its pretty good

This is a great dystopian series that I found at my library. I like all the action and suspense and the romantic bits aren't my favorite, but make it more interesting. Excited for her new book, Metaltown!

Red. Is this the Red from Red Riding Hood? Yes. But this Red, is way more braver, and isn't afraid of anything. Except for magic... When Red finds out that her grandma starts feeling ill, she starts panicking and starts looking for ways to heal her. When Red's grandma finds out that Red is going out on adventures, she keeps telling Red to stop and that everyone dies. Red doesn't listen because Red's grandma has always been in her life. Red goes on an amazing adventure that all kids should experience on the sidelines. When I say experiencing it on the sidelines, I mean to that kids will enjoy this story as if they are in this story as spectators. I think that everyone should read this because it is truly a respectful and true book. 5 stars!

Nice and a bit funny.

The book I will be reviewing is This Journal Belongs to Ratchet by: Nancy J. Cavanaugh. This book is about Rachel, or Ratchet who lives with her dad, in what her dad calls Handyman Specials, which are houses that look like they will fall down. Her story is that she has no friends, and no mom. She feels misplaced and lonely but she sees a chance to change it. This book is a great book. It is super exciting, a little bit sad, with a great ending. This book is an example of realistic fiction because some people are just like Ratchet, except Ratchet isn't a real person, she is from the story. This book is great for someone who likes life changing stories with lots of emotion. This is because Ratchet goes through some great, and some not so great times. One internal conflict is Ratchet deciding to do without having a mom because since she doesn't have a mom, she doesn't know what it would be like to have one. One external conflict is when Ratchet fights with her dad about her mom because she wants to know more about her. This is This Journal Belongs to Ratchet by: Nancy J. Cavanaugh
