The Secret of the Shamrock (Chime Travelers)
By Lisa M. Hendey
Our second grade class really enjoyed the time travel and loved giving Shep an Irish accent. We go to a Catholic school, so we were very familiar with all the things about the Church and sacraments. We liked the part when Patrick threw a rock at the sailor even though we know that isn't usually a good thing to do. Can't wait to read more Chime Traveler stories!
Fablehaven, Book 5:Keys to the Demon Prison
By Brandon Mull
I adore this book! It is my favorite in the whole world! I have read a ton of books but nothing beats this one. Read this for sure, but don't miss out on the beginning of the series. There is also a sequal series in progress too. Don't miss Brandon Mull's other books!
Warriors Super Edition: Graystripe's Vow
By Erin Hunter
Infinity stars--First of all, let me just say that this book made me SPEECHLESS. Speechless in a good way. It was beautiful, and heartbreaking, and...I don't have the words to describe it. Graystripe's Vow was absolutely amazing! Important life advice: go to the library right now and READ THIS BOOK!!! So, I'm a Warriors superfan, and I've been reading this series for about two years. When Graystripe's Vow finally came out, I was SO excited. I absolutely NEEDED to read this! As soon as I checked out this book from the library, I started flipping the pages in anticipation. And boy, was I in for a real treat. --Summary: I expected a lot from this book, and as usual, Erin Hunter did not disappoint. Graystripe's Vow is packed with action, heartbreak, and suspense. The book centers around ThunderClan, a group of wild cats that live around a lake. These cats hunt, fight for territory, and look after each other. There are also four other Clans, called SkyClan, ShadowClan, WindClan, and RiverClan. All five Clans are reeling from a recent event that shook them to their cores. A dead spirit cat took over the body of ThunderClan's leader, causing havoc. Now, the spirit cat is a prisoner in ShadowClan, but the Clans' problems aren't over. ThunderClan is broken, shocked by what happened to their leader. To try and help his Clan, a cat named Graystripe journeys into his past and goes on a mission that might change the fate of all the Clans. Will his mission succeed? --Characters: I LOVED all the characters in this book, especially Graystripe. He's brave, loyal, intelligent, and caring. I think Graystripe is one of the most amazing heroes in the entire Warriors series! I also liked Gremlin, Fang, and the WarriorClan cats (Monkeystar and her friends were hilarious!). I do wish some of the side characters, like Squirrelflight, Flywhisker, Flipclaw, the Tribe of Rushing Water, the kittypets, and Ashfur would have appeared more in the story. --Lastly, I have three things to say: 1) I loved this book. 2) I LOVED THIS BOOK! 3) DID I MENTION THAT I LOVED THIS BOOK?!?! Graystripe's Vow is now one of my favorite books, and I think everyone needs to read it! I would DEFINITELY recommend this book!
The Bronze Key (Magisterium, Book 3)
By Holly Black, Cassandra Clare
This is a great book and I would recommend it. Callum, Aaron, and Tamara are trying to find the spy that is in the magisterium leaking information to master Joseph, and trying to kill Call at the same time! They don't want their friend to be in danger so they decide to try and figure it out theirselves. Will their plan work? Or will it go disastrously wrong like all plans seem to do when Call is around?
The Mystery of the Mixed-Up Zoo (Boxcar Children)
By Gertrude Chandler Warner
The Mystery of the Mixed-Up Zoo, by Gertrude Chandler Warner, says that mystifying problems can have simple answers. Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny Alden are at Rosedale, in Edward Marlow’s house. Marlow also has a zoo. Strange things are happening there. The signs are mixed up, turning off the power, and hurting the animals. They had several suspects, but there was no proof. Benny especially loved a monkey named Amos. There was no proof he was still there. However, the Aldens saw Mac Tatcher, the person who worked at Rosedale’s bookstore, steal Amos. They followed him back home. He angrily admitted why he had stolen Amos and when he was going away, his zoo keys fell out. That was the proof that he did those horrible things. There was really an easy-to- understand explanation to both of those mysteries! I recommend this mystery for boys and girls, grades third to fourth.
The River (A Hatchet Adventure)
By Gary Paulsen
SavannaMoore
I would read Hatchet first, it would make more sense. He is not alone this time. He has a man named Derek Holtzer with him. But on a stormy night Derek reaches for his briefcase and gets struck by lightning and in a coma. Brian had to build a raft and travel the river to a trading post where they are saved. I totally recommend it! 🙂

The Secret Garden
By Frances Hodgson Burnett
Such a great book about mystery, the earth/ environment, and love. I saw the movie and it is great too.
Peeled
By Joan Bauer
A spooky thriller, Peeled is a great book to read on an October weekend, leading up to Halloween! Hildy Biddle's looking for a story to write in her high school newspaper. She's stumped until a haunted house in the neighborhood starts to create some racket. She does all she can to write an amazing story, which then leads into some clashing with other newspapers in the town, which then leads to blackmail. But finally, the high school newspaper finds their way, with a surprise twist at the end! Joan did a great job with this book. One of my favorite parts was that she took Banesville, NY, the place that the story is in, and though it is fictional, she really makes it seem real, by adding in details like that it was in apple country, which is widespread throughout NY. She really gives attention to each individual character, and lets each of them grow. Overall, a quick read but a good read!
