Going back thousands of years ago, the 8th family of magical beings, demons, were in a war with humans. Though the other fairies gave up, the 8th family did not and instead the warlock demons set a time spell and when the time was right, they would seek revenge on the humans.

But something happened and even if the spell did work, one day it would explode and destroy Hybras, the demons’ island. Everything would disappear and all the demons would travel through time. Some would go to Earth and many will go to space to die, but very few will survive.

In this book, Artimes is involved with one demon warlock, No.1, the very last warlock. No.1 is very different from the others. Unlike them, he does not feel the need to kill something and rip it to parts. He longed for love or at least someone who would understand him. While Artimes was on a mission with his bodyguard, Butler, and his fairy friend, Holly Short, to catch No.1 and send him back, his plan fails. Someone else kidnapped No.1 and it was a little girl with her two big friends. Seemed like she was smart because she kidnapped him flawlessly without a single mistake. Well, now, time is running out and Hybras will soon explode. Plus, No.1 is the only one who could stop it. If demons come to Earth, they will eat all humans and probably start ruling the world.

Maybe they’ll use the humans as slaves instead of eating them. Will Artimes risk his life and leave his family, Butler, and new friends behind, while he saves the world? Well, you’re going to have to read this book to find out! I recommend this book to both, boys and girls, if they like adventure and magical creatures. I hope you enjoy this book! ^-^

Percy Jackson’s life is tough enough, being that he is the son of Poseidon. But, when a bunch of cannibal giants play dodge ball with him, Percy knows that he has to return to Camp Half-Blood. Camp Half-Blood is the only safe place for demigods like Percy. Percy’s life gets worse when he finds out that the magical borders of the camp are poisoned. Furthermore, if a cure isn’t found Camp Half-Blood will be over run by monsters. Percy must go to the Sea of Monsters to find the only cure to the poison, but on his way, Percy will find out a secret about his family, one of betrayal. I really liked this book because of the action, and for the same reason I the book will appeal to boys more so than girls. If you like this book you should read the other books in the series, including The Lightning Thief and The Titan’s Curse.

I suggest that you read the other two Warriors series before reading this book. The Sight is about three cats. The three cats named Hollykit, Lionkit, and Jaykit are siblings. Jaykit is different from his sister and brother because he was born blind, but his other senses are excellent. There are five clans in the forest. They are the Windclan, Riverclan, Shadowclan, Thunderclan, and Starclan. Hollykit, Lionkit, and Jaykit are in the Thunderclan. In the beginning, Hollykit, Lionkit, and Jaykit are tired of waiting to be apprentices. They hear that there are baby foxes in the territory that may endanger their clan. The three cats sneak out to chase them away so they could be heroes. They tried to chase out the baby foxes, but they failed. In the process, Jaykit got hurt and they got in trouble with their leader. Eventually, they became apprentices and were given new names. Hollykit became Hollypaw, Jaykit became Jaypaw, and Lionkit was renamed Lionpaw. Hollypaw became a medicine cat apprentice, but is not sure if she can do it. Jaypaw gets a message from Spottedleaf, an ancestor. Will Hollypaw continue to be a medicine cat apprentice? What did Spottedleaf say to Jaypaw? You will have to read this book to find out. I think both boys and girls will like this book. When I started reading this book, I didn’t want to stop because I wanted to know what was going to happen next.

The story started when Brian Robeson was at his house when the door bell rang. A guy named Derek Holtzer was at the door and he said he wanted Brian to go in the wilderness with him and live there just like he did in the Canadian Woods so he could teach people how to survive if they ever fall in a bad situation. Brian’s mom agreed and Derek came back a few weeks later with a plane. When they took off and landed. While they were unpacking, Brian said to leave all of the equipment on the plane except Derek’s radio, a map, and his note book. After the plane left, Brian made a shelter and then it started to rain. A few days later they had a big lightning storm. Derek reached for his radio and a lightning bolt struck Derek and the radio the next morning Derek had his eyes a little bit opened and Brian knew that Derek was in a coma. Brian tried to get some water but Derek choked on the water. Brian thought that Derek might die without food or water. Brian looked on the map and saw a river that connects to a trading post one hundred miles away. He decided to build a raft to reach the trading post and finds out what trouble is ahead of him. Will he survive and how is he going to get Derek to the trading post? If you want to find out, read The River by Gary Paulson. I think this book is good for people that find Hatchet intrusting. If you haven’t read Hatchet read Hatchet before The River.

Julep O’ Toole is back in Miss Independent!! In this book Julep wants to pick out her own clothes, get a cell phone, and wear make-up, to bad this is to “grown up” for her mom. Juelp does not feel any better when she sees her sister wear make-up and pick out her own clothes.

So when she gets an invitation to spend a week away from her mom she is happy. When she gets to her dream vacation spots she realizes that what she really wants is to get along with her mom.

I thought this book was very good. It is interesting how all the Juelp O’ Toole books tie to the first book Confessions of a Middle Child. I think that this is a good book for girls to read with their moms.

Pinky Pye is the sequel to Ginger Pye so, if you haven’t read it yet, it’s still okay. Pinky Pye is about Rachel, Jerry, Pinky, Ginger, Gracie, Uncle Bennie, and Mr. and Mrs. Pye. Pinky and Gracie are cats, Ginger is a dog, and everybody else is people. It starts out with the Pyes going to Fire Island because Mr. Pye has to discover a bird there. Mr. Pye is an ornithologist which means somebody who studies birds. Their cabin was built by a lady and that lady told them that she forgot to close a window in the eaves. When they first got there, the doorbell rang and there was a black kitten that had a collar that said, “A abandoned.” They kept the kitten and named it Pinky because of its pink tongue. Later on, a big wind came and it was so big that the next day, the papers said a baby owl got blown away by it. The Pyes then herd a big thump in the eaves and knew it was the window they forgot to close, so they closed it. The next day, Uncle Bennie (three years old) wants a pet so he went out looking for grasshoppers. He finds one and puts it in the eaves so that the cats don’t get it but, the next morning they were gone and happened again and again. Meanwhile, Gracie is up on the roof staring at something in the eaves. What is in the eaves? You’ll have to read the book to find out. (I forgot to mention that Pinky is a typewriting cat) I think this book is good for both boys and girls. I highly recommend it for patient people because in the beginning, nothing really happens. However, in the end, it was very interesting. If you want to find out what is in the eaves, read Pinky Pye.

Wolf-Speaker is the 2nd book of The Immortals series by Tamora Pierce and I recommend this book to kids of all age, boy and girl. As you know, Daine is the main character and in this book, she journeys to the Dunlath Valley with Numair, her teacher, and two wolves, Fleetfoot and Russet. The chief leader, Brokefang, and the rest of the Long Lake pack have suffered because people of Dunlath Valley and many ogres are chopping down trees, polluting the lakes, and destroying the land. They gave Daine a mission to stop the destruction, but Daine is only fourteen years old. She is still training her wild magic and is learning fast. Daine has made many animal friends, yet is she strong enough to risk letting them fight against immortals? The soon-to-be-queen, Yolane, is very self-centered and is planning something evil that might destroy every living creature in Dunlath. Tristan, Numair’s unfaithful friend, is on this plan and is also trying to kill Daine and Numair. Will their plan work? Will Daine risk the animals’ lives (including hers) to save the life of Dunlath? Well you’re going to have to find out by reading this fascinating book! I hope you enjoy it and never let stop reading!
“Keep your nose in the book all day long,” is what Im trying to say, so please entertain yourself by reading this book.

This has got to be one of the best books I’ve ever read. It has adventure, brain hurting math, and wacko words! It starts out with a young boy named Milo. He never knows where to be. When he is doing one thing, he wants to do something else. When he’s inside, he wants to be outside. When he’s out, he wants to be in. One day he finds a toolbooth. He used the directions inside, and poof! He’s where he wanted to be. He meets a watchdog named Tock. He goes to two towns, Dictionopolis and Digitopolis. In Dictionopolis everything anyone thinks of is numbers, numbers, numbers! In Digitopolis, it’s the oposite. It’s all about numbers. These two kingdoms are ruled by brothers. They hate each other, and compete against each other. On the way to Digitopolis from Dictionopolis they jumped to conclusions. No, SERIOUSLY, they literally jumped to conclusions. There is a place called Conclusions. Whenever you decide something without proof or background knowlege, you get launched there imediately. The only way to get back, was to swim across the sea of knowlege. Nobody has ever been able to cross it. Are they ever going to get back? Will Digitopolis and Dictionopolis ever make peace with each other? Read the Phantom Tollbooth to find out. This book would be awsome for both genders because there is plenty of adventure, while there is also plenty of problem solving.

It turns out they were right. They figured this out when they talked to a maid that saw everything. The only thing is she only spoke Spanish. They called Chanel and had her translate. Then, they rush their dad to the hospital. The next day, they had Galleria’s mom and dad sign his release form. They went to Galleria’s house that night for dinner.

It will appeal to girls more than boys because it is about a girl band looking for adventure in the growl-power jiggy-jungle.

Trust me, you will be totally lost if you read this book before reading the books before it. This is the new prophecy, and is book four. If you haven’t read the other books, press back right now. This time, Warriors has a new adventure for the Clans. They had to get to their new homes, but now, they have to establish territories! Five cats are sent to explore the new land. The four leaders (Firestar, Leapordstar, Tallstar, and Blackstar) choose that the cats that made the journey to the sun-drown place should explore. Missyfoot joins because the two cats from RiverClan is not with them today. Feathertail went to StarClan to save Crowfeather, and Stormfur joined the clan of endless hunting to be with his true love, Brook. Back to the point, there new home has a huge lake in the middle, so it will take about two days to travel. Soon enough, They meet strangers. I won’t tell you who these strangers are. After a day, they have found two of the Clans’ boundries and camps. They all go to sleep somewhere safe. The next morning, they find where RiverClan is going to be. Brambleclaw starts to get worried that there won’t be a place for ThunderClan. Eventually they find ThunderClan’s camp, but in a way you wouldn’t expect. Later on, badgers attack because the Clan’s had driven them off of their territory. Someone will be sent to StarClan, or should I say somecat will be sent where it is destined. This book would be an awsome book for both girls and boys.

This story is told by Galleria Gariboldi. Even though this is the nineth book in the series, you don’t have to read the others. Sure, it would be nice to learn who the main characters are, but these stories are completely different. This time, there is a concert in Houston. They are letting five wanna-be groups open a famous girl band, Karma’s Children. A group called Miggy n’ Mo tried to trick the Cheetah Girls into thinking the five spots are taken! They try out for the opening spots, and guess what, they make it. So does Miggy n’ Mo. A group called Fish n’ Chips makes it because the Cheetah Girls pulled a few strings for them. When the concert is about to begin, Miggy n’ Mo come over. Will Miggy n’ Mo apoligize or not? Will the Cheetah Girls have their big shot at the glory? This book would definitly appeal to girls more than boys. It’s about a singing group trying to become famous, that’s why boys wouldn’t like it. Boys are into adventure more than this.

But with her now very close friend Minerva Sharpe, a runaway plantation slave, Nancy flees from an arranged marriage to the very scary and rich man Bartholome. She and Minerva become very close, like sisters, and they become pirates on the ship Deliverance, pretending to be boys. Many things happen as they live their difficult lives as a pirate, but Nancy always has dreams and fears that Bartholome, actually a deadly pirate, will come back after her. Will the two young women escape the cruel Captain Bartholome, who could be following them over the seven seas? And will Nancy’s beloved, William, still love the pirate she has become? This story takes place in the eighteenth century times. I recommend it for both boys and girls who love to read exciting books.

Caution: This book is not for the squeamish. It’s filled with some gore, a lot of action, and a lot of excitement.

This book is about a girl named Fern who was swapped to different parents at birth. Fern was born to a woman named Eliza, but when Fern was born, Eliza began to lose blood, and eventually died. Fern goes to live with a family by the name of Drudger, but when Fern is eleven years old, her father comes with his “son” Howard, and the nurse who delivered Fern and Howard. Fern takes Howard up to her room, but before she disappears around the corner of the stairs, her father gives her a wink, and she winks back! When she is called back downstairs, her “parents” say that she is going to live with her father people call him the Bone for a month, and Howard is going to live with the Drudgers for a month. When the Bone puts Fern in the car, he tells her that when she winked back at him, she proved to him that she is something called an Anybody. Her father tells her he is an Anybody too. An Anybody can turn into anything whenever they want to. If you want to know the rest, then you will have to read this book. I think this book would be good for boys and girls but, girls might like it a little bit better because it has lots of magic and make-believe.

This is the third book in the Dragon’s in our Midst series, so don’t read it yet unless you read the 1st and 2nd books. This book is about a boy named Billy. He is King Arthur’s heir. The story starts with a failed assassination on Billy and Professor Hamilton, Merlin’s heir and teacher to Billy. Billy and the Prof. escape to the scheduled meeting place where Billy and Prof. will meet with Bonnie and her mother. Later Billy finds out he has to go to the circles of seven with the help of Prof. singing a song that came to him. Prof. has a natural talent in telling the future in poems. Billy can only bring one partner into the circles with him. Naturally he chooses Bonnie because she has wings to help him fly over things. Will Billy die in the circles? Or will he be victorious? Well I can’t tell you anything else otherwise I’ll give it away. This book would most likely appeal to boys more than girls. I would give it a 8 out of 10.
Enjoy!

This story is about a young boy named Greg. Greg always gets himself into some wacky situations. For example it was October and he and his friend ,Rowley, wants to build a haunted house. They worked on it on paper but, when it was time to build it they did not have the supplies or there parents would not allow them to do the haunted houes. So they just brought kids in there bed room and they made them go under the bed for $2.50. It was just Greg and Rowley under the bed scaring the little children. Example 2: On Halloween night there were teenagers that always jump out of the bushes when little kids are walking by and when they are there they jump out and scare them then, they take there candy. That night Greg and Rowley went to the bushes and they were teasing the teenagers. The teenagers got mad and they started to chase them but, they ran into Greg’s grandmothers house. There are WAY for situations that Grag gets himself into. If you want to know all of the situations that Greg gets himself into and how he gets out of them read this GREAT book Diary of the Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney. This book is GREAT because of its humor. I really think it is like a diary well, not really its more like a book of what you did. The vocabulary is not hard at all. I really think you would like this book. I really recommend this book for people who like comody.

Have you been looking for that perfect book? Well, do I have one for you! It’s called Ginger Pye. It’s about a boy named Jerry, his sister, Rachel, their dog Ginger, and their three year old uncle, Uncle Bennie. They are on a hunt to find their dog. It started during Thanksgiving dinner when the Pye’s let Ginger out into the backyard. Once they finished dinner, they were going to let Ginger back in the house, but when Jerry went out, nobody was there. The only clue they had was a yellow hat they kept finding. They found the hat on their porch. They also found it when it blew into the lake when they were swimming. I think this book would be good for both boys and girls. If you like dogs, than I really recomend it. This book is realistic fiction because getting a dog stolen from you could happen in real life. Well there you go! A book you might be looking for. You may really like it!

You’ve eaten the candy. You’ve seen the two movies, but have you read the book? In the book, (as you know) the main character Charlie Bucket is poor and lives with his four grandparents and his parents. He likes chocolate, but his family is too poor to afford it. Then when the greatest chocolate maker in the world, Willy Wonka, sends out 5 golden tickets in unknown chocolate bars. People go crazy for the golden ticket, because if you have a golden ticket, you get to go inside Wonka’s Chocolate factory. When Charlie gets the last golden ticket, he, his Grandpa Joe, and the 4 other children (with their parents) are about to enter an adventure in Wonka’s factory. This book is filled with excitement, and I think that you would probably laugh 7 times in one chapter. I would recommend this book to boys and girls. I think that the book is better than the two movies.

This book is about six cats on a journey. Squirrlepaw and Brambleclaw are from the Thunder clan. Feathertail and Stormfur are from the Riverclan. Tawnypelt is from the Shadowclan and Crowpaw is from the Windclan. In the beginning they are going back to warn they’re clans about how danger is coming to the forest. But on they’re way to the forest they are delayed by a tribe. They had heard of a silver cat that would save them from a cat named Sharptooth. They thought that Stormfur was the chosen one, so they took Stormfur and the others to a cave which was they’re home. At the forest the Thunderclan is having troubles two of cats disappeared and the forest is being destroyed. I like this book because mostly at the end of a chapter there is a cliff hanger. If you like adventures books I think you will like this book.

I just finished reading Double Fudge plus I thought it was an excellent story. It is about 2 boys, their sister Tootsie, and their mom and dad. This story starts when this family had a boy that was nicknamed Fudge and was 5 years old. He wanted to be a miser when he grew up and he also wanted to buy New York. This one-day they were sitting at the dinner table and one thing led to the next and then fudge asked his dad how much he would pay him if he passed the salt. One-day fudge started to make his own money called Fudge bucks. A couple days before their school started they went to the shoe store to get some shoes. Fudge wanted two pairs so he said he would pay for the second pair but that didn’t happen. Afterwards when they went home they saw Peter’s friend named Jimmy. He told peter he was going to move across town. After school started Fudge, Peter and their parents went to Washington to see how money was made. While they were there they met these people who were their long-lost cousins. Were they really? You will have to read the story to find out what happens next.

This great story I just finished reading is called Superfudge. Well the story all starts when this boy named Peter finds out that his mom is having a baby and he thinks the baby will turn out like his brother Fudge. So then he goes to his room gets out a bag and starts to pack his stuff. Afterwards he goes down and is about to leave but has no where to go so he stays and eats dinner. So when Fudge is eating he asks what kind of baby it was going to be. Peter sure didn’t want it to turn out like Fudge. When Peter was done eating he grabed his bag and he said that he was leaving. Fudge grabbed his leg and told him not to go. So then he changed his mind again. After the baby was born…. You will have to read the book to find out what happens next. I would recommend this book to girls and boys.

Eleven year old Rinko lives in California with two brothers, Cal (short for California) and Joji. One day when Rinko gets home she finds a letter from her Aunt Waka in Japan. She brings the letter to her Papa and tells her that Aunt Waka is coming to California. Rinko thinks that having her Aunt Waka come will be horrible because she will have to share a room with her brother Joji and she is afraid her Aunt Waka will embarase her.

I think this was a great book. I think that both boys and girls would like this book. This book takes place in the Great Depression.

Ellie McDoodle has to spend the whole summer camping with her weird relatives. Before she even arrives at her relatives house she knew that it was going to be a horrible summer for two reasons : 1. Her cousin Eric and his two sisters are weirder than weird, 2.
