Edmund Lonnrot is a normal 11 year old kid. Well, except for his photographic memory and his amazing drawing abilities. One day his father tells him that he was losing hours at work, making them unable to afford Edmund's school. That all changes when the police come to Edmund with unusual request. Work for them and they would pay for Edmund's school next year. You see the police have been unable to solve a crime because the suspects keep changing the way they look. Eddie's job? Go to the art museum and draw anyone suspicious. If they're able to catch the thieves the NYPD will pay for Eddie's education next year. I liked this book because it was so fast paced. I didn't like the way the adults acted in this book and the twists were kind of predictable. But, I think fans of mysteries and Theodore Boone will absolutely love Eddie Red: Mystery on Museum Mile!

This was my favorite of the series. The cutest story was Crazy Little Thing Called Lunch, by Cece Bell. It's about a girl named Ellie who sees her crush, Franklin as a giant baloney sandwich. The illustrations in that comic were adorable! This is a good travel comic!

Pippi Longstocking I am reviewing the book, “ Pippi Longstocking,” By Astrid Lindgren. This book is about a girl named Pippi Longstocking who has a very adventurous spirit. She stays home by herself without any guardians and has her own house. Her personality is strong, brave, and mighty. Pippi becomes friends with her two kind next door neighbors; they go on many adventures that you would not encounter if you weren’t with Pippi. The group of friends become quite strong together and so do their friendships. To me, this book was great and I would suggest it to anyone who loves adventures and has a wide imagination. This book is at a 5th grade level.

Great, spectacular tale... beautifully written and an amazing book! The characters, plot, and storyline are all awesome, and it is definitely recommended for animal lovers, both fans and new readers. This book kept me very engaged, and after opening it, I couldn't close the cover!

I’ve read Kathryn Erskine’s books, Mockingbird, before, and this book is almost as good! It’s about a boy named Mike, who’s father is a genius, especially in math and science. His father wants him to be just like him, but Mike has a math learning disability. He tries to please his father, but when he gets sent to live with his great aunt and uncle while his father travels abroad, he gets the surprise of a lifetime. Poppy, his great uncle, hasn’t moved since the death of their son, almost four months, and Moo, his great aunt, watches imaginary movies in her car and calls it “Tyrone”, when she shouldn’t be driving anyways. But when Mike finds out that the town he’s staying at is trying to adopt a child from Romania, he jumps in, and figures out the true Mike in himself. This book is pretty good! :)

Lauren Oliver brings a zesty, fresh, dystopian novel to the publishing world in her new book "Delirium" starring main protagonist Magdalena Haloway.

In this spellbinding part one of Lauren Oliver's trilogy, readers will not hesitate to purchase the next two books from the very first page.

This was SUCH a good book! You know the story of Goldilocks. But this one is different! These dinosaurs, mama dinosaur, papa dinosaur, and some other dinosaur visiting from Norway, set up a trap for a girl to eat. So here comes Goldilocks falling into the trap! Except it doesn’t go the way the Dino’s want it to! I was cracking up while reading this, and so will you. I give it five stars.

Geek Girl, by Holly Smale, is one of the most enjoyable realistic fiction books I have read. I have also read the other books in this series. They're all great. Harriet accepted a modeling job for a huge fashion industry. However, she is lies to her step-mom, Annabel in order to keep the job, because Annabel does not think that Harriet should be modeling. Harriet also lies to her best friend Nat because Nat's lifelong dream was to model, and Harriet feels like she is stealing Nat's dream. I like this book quite a bit. I love how many strange little facts there are strewn throughout the book, and would definitely read other books by Holly Smale. Geek Girl is well written, clever, and very enjoyable to read. I would highly recommend this book to all. I think that it can help people realize that even when you feel on your own, you probably aren't.
