The Hidden Oracle (Trials of Apollo #1)
By Rick Riordan
Apollo has been banished to Earth by Zeus because he has been blamed for his son's actions. Which weren't too bad if you ask me. All Octavian did was manipulate the minds of others, lie to his campers, take over a camp, go mad with power, use al the camp's savings to buy weapons, sent assassins' after the people trying to stop the war, attacked camp half-blood, and turned into a fiery comet screaming like a little girl. Wait... that is pretty bad. Which is why Zeus zapped Apollo and sent him down to earth, face first into a dumpster. Apollo is now 16-year-old, flab and acne encrusted Lester Papadopoulos. With the help of Meg and Percy Jackson, he makes it to Camp Half-Blood where he must help the mortal do tasks, be trained, and write haikus. He must complete a series of trials in order to regain he spot on Mount Olympus, and become a god again. I give it three stars, because from what I can understand, the trial of this book was stopping the crazed emperor, Nero, from burning down a forest that was home to nymphs and giant ants. That didn't even make up much of the book, and it only took 30 pages at most. The book is like 400 or 500 pages long. I am looking forward to reading the other books in the series though. I give this book 3 stars. Happy reading, kids!
The Changelings
By Christina Soontornvat
Meet Izzy Doyle, an eleven year old, who recently moved to Everton (totally unrelated, but Everton has a store called the Jiggly Goat)... Anyways there is a specific house in Everton that was bequeathed (more like it was forced- you’ll see after you finish reading this book) to Izzy’s father, which is the place where they moved to. According to the cash register in Jiggly Goat, there is a witch, Marian Malloy, and she’s watching out for “faries.” It’s sort of ironic how the cashier said that… Izzy is very determined to find out what exactly does the witch do for fun… I mean does she cast some sort of spell??? As she was “spying” on the witch… Marian Malloy was just washing the dishes! And maybe Hen might have accidentally told on Izzy… And maybe Hen spilled lemonade on Izzy’s book, which induced her to cry out and scream at Hen. The following day- Hen was playing in the woods, but Izzy heard some sort of music “from inside the woods,” but Hen was already gone. DUN DUN DUNNNNNNN. Izzy woke up from her huge headache and found herself in the “witch’s room” aka Marian Malloy. Izzy became cautious after she saw a kindergarten picture of her, but Marian told her that it was her grandmother’s scrapbook (the one who passed away) and that she genuinely cared for both girls- she wanted to protect them. However… remember that music that was going on when Hen disappeared? Well, Izzy hummed the parts she could remember and Marian instantaneously grew pale… Uh oh… Something smells fishy here! As Marian instructed Izzy to go back home as Marian will dutifully bring Hen home, Izzy defiantly did the opposite and followed Marian. She later finds herself stuck with Marian and ends up going to the land of “Farie.” In the land of Farie, there is trouble brewing up… She ended up being chased by Unglers (Unglers are creepy creatures who chase Changlings)... Now who are the Changlings? Well they’re humans who can transmogrify into any animals. *I’m so jealous right now- I want to have those types of power* Izzy meets Lug as they are running for their lives… Lug and Dree takes Izy to their safe haven and Izzy meets Selden… Together they all go on a trip to Avhalon to see what will happen… Izzy later finds out that the Piper is illegally stealing children (ie: Hen) for the Queen… and now Hen is the Queen’s “daughter.” How will this group of outlaws be able to retrieve Hen and find the Queen’s devious plans before it actually comes true? Where are the other Changelings- or are they the only one left? Why did the Piper take Hen? All of these questions can be answered once you read it…. Enjoy! Usually, fantasy and me don’t really match; however this was an amazing book about true friendships and the power of love… I absolutely adored this book… This whimsical and fantastical story will transport you to the land of Farie and will take you on an adventure… This is one story you would not to miss!

To everyone else, Buddy's just another person dressed up in a cool alien costume, while in Buddy's mind, he needs to create an alternate human identity so no one figures out he's an alien! He quickly comes up with an old superstar from hundreds of years ago, and soon he gets a part in a film! But with all the things he has to do, he forgets that he needs a way to get food for his alien body, and only when he remembers, something terrible goes wrong... Will Buddy's identity be revealed? Read on to find out! I highly recommended this book to all ages!
The Green Glass Sea
By Ellen Klages
Dewey Kerrigan doesn’t exactly fit in. She builds radios and gadgets out of junk, and one of her legs is shorter than the other, so she walks funny. But she doesn’t really care. All she needs- and wants- is her father, a brilliant scientist who is off working on some secret government project. So when Dewey finally gets to go live with her father, she is excited, even though no one will tell her where she is going to live. Dewey arrives at the hill, where scientists from all over the country have gathered to work on a top secret government gadget to stop the war. Dewey loves that she is surrounded by geniuses, lives close to the dump for collecting junk, and best of all, lives with her father. And then there’s Suze, who longs to be accepted with other kids at the Hill, and makes fun of Dewey to gain favor. But Suze and Dewey have a lot more in common than they might think, and soon their friendship blossoms. And in the midst of a crisis and sorrow, who better to be there than a friend? I loved the way the author was able to make me feel sympathy for the character’s emotions and situation, and I couldn’t put the book down.
