Christmas is coming soon and Max, Natalia, Harley, and Ernie, The Grey Griffins, are really looking forward to Christmas. One day Max recieves a letter from his father in Scotland saying that he wants Max and his friends to come to Scotland. The Grey Griffins Christmas turns into a nightmare when Max’s father is captured by the mysterious black wolves that are after Max. The trouble gets worse when they find out that the evil black witch, Morgan La Fey, is after the powerful Spear of Ragnarok. Now Max and his friends must rescue his Dad and stop Morgan La Fey from getting the Spear of Ragnarok. This book is in the trilogy called the Grey Griffins. It’s the second book in the trilogy. The other two books are The Revenge of The Shadow King and The Fall of The Templar.This book is a really good book and it has a lot of fairy tale creatures and adventure. I think that this book would appeal to more boys than girls.

This story is about a detective named Nancy Drew who tries to solve mysteries. In this story, Nancy Drew is driving down the street and she sees a girl fall of a bridge so she stops her car and gets out. Nancy asked, “what made you fall.” The girl said the truck was going too fast and they also stole my necklace so I fell. After Nancy walks the girl back to her house, Nancy got back into her car and followed the truck. If you want to know what happens to the truck and Nancy read the The Sercet Old Clock by Carolyn Keene. I think this book would appeal to most girls because it is a very good mystery and supense.

This book is different from the others. It is more thought then action. The four Clans have to split up and find new territories. The cats from the journey are going around the lake to see what kind of dangers there are. It takes a long time, but soon they find new camps for everyone. Also, it is hard for some cats to seperate because some of them have grown together. Some of them are doubting that this is the place that they are going to live forever. The cats come back, but nobody knows where gatherings would be. Girls and boys would absolutely, completely, LOVE this book because it also has a good sense of humor. The saying for this series is before there is peace, blood will spill blood, and the lake will run red. What does that mean?l I’ll leave that up to you to find out. Also, where will the gatherings be held?

This book is for fans of Ella Enchanted. It has about the same plot, but is very different. Wolf Tower is about a girl named Claidissa Star. She lives in the House. That is an orphanage. Claidi doesn’t know anything about her mom, or what her first name is. Claidi sees the love of her life, at least now the love of her life, Nemian. He asks her to go to his town. It is called the City. Why? I won’t say. She soon learns her mother’s name was Twilight. In the middle of their journey to the City, they run into a group called the bandits. Their leader, Argul, is attractive to Claidi. Will she choose to stay with Nemian, or go with Argul? Read Wolf Tower to find out. Girls and boys would very much enjoy this book because you never know what will happen next. The next book is called Wolf Star.

When he is all grown up his life is threatend ahead because Ferns dad wants to get rid of him because he is the runt of the other pigs. But in the barn he meets a friend named Charlotte who is a wise spider, and she has a plan that just might save him. If you want to find out what happens to Wilbur read Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White. I think this book would appeal to most boys and girls equally because its not too mushy and its not to violent, and it peaks a person’s intrest to see what happens in the end.

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 what Brian did in the Canadian Woods. Derek wanted to learn how to survive so he could teach people if they ever fall in a bad situation. Brian’s mom agreed. Derek came back a few weeks later with a plane. After they landed, they unpacked. Brian told Derek to leave all of the equiptment on the plane exept Derek’s radio, a map, and his note book. After the plane left, Brian made a shelter and 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. 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. Will Brian 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 who find Hatchet intresting. If you haven’t read Hatchet read Hatchet before The River.

This book is about a girl named Esperanza Ortega who lives on a ranch in Mexico. She lives with her father and mother, and is very happy. She is rich, and has servants who do everything for her, and make sure she never has to lift a finger. But one unfortunate day, while her dad is away, he is ambushed by bandits and is killed. After he is buried, his two stepbrothers come and the eldest offers his hand in marriage to Esperanza’s mother. She says no, but when their ranch burns down and Abuelita (the grandmother) gets very sick from the smoke, she agrees, but the night before they are supposed to be married, she and Esperanza get in a wagon with the servants and begin to ride to California.

While they are riding, Esperanza’s mother tells them that they must put on dirty cloths that the poor wear. Esperanza does not understand why she must put on dirty cloths when they are rich.

I would recommend this book to girls mostly because it has a girl in it.

Esperanza Rising is about a girl, Esperanza Ortega, living in Mexico in a huge house on their rancho, in the 20th century, with her Mama, her Papa, her Abuelita, and the servants. Then one day, her Papa gets killed by bandits. Then after that, their house gets on fire, and her uncle, (who she dislikes) offers to marry Senora Ortega, and says that he would rebuild the house, while sending Esperanza to a boarding school. Senora Ortega says “yes” while asking for a wagon, and a horse. Then they left with their trusting servants to California, to become farm workers at a Mexican camp. Esperanza is so used to being rich that she did not understand why they should act like the poor. I would recommend this book to anybody, but mostly girls, because it is about a girl. My mom read this book and she enjoyed it as much as I did.

When Brian returned home from the wilderness, he was not used to people and the city noises. He decided he needed to go back to the Canadian woods. He packed his supplies and left during his summer break. The pilot dropped him off a hundred miles away from the place he wanted to go. The pilot told Brian that the river connects together. Brian traveled in a canoe to reach his destination. As Brian traveled, he was challenged throughout the journey. What would it be? Would he get to his destination? This book is a sequel to Brian’s Winter. It is not as exciting as the other “Brian” books.

From the first time Juli Baker met Bryce Loski at age 7, she knew that she would be in love with him forever. From the first time Bryce met Juli, he knew that he would have to avoid her forever. It’s been like that all the way to the eighth grade. But then, suddenly, their feelings change about each other, themselves, and the rest of the world. Their views on everything have totally flipped! Each chapter is told by a different character and you can see from their points of view the things that happen. It’s so funny to see how both their sides of the story connect. I really loved this story, even though I wasn’t too crazy about the ending. I recommend it for both boys and girls who think they’ll enjoy it.

This book, by Mr. Colfer, is another book of the Artimes Fowl series that I’ve read. I recommend this book to both girls and boys and I hope you enjoy reading this book. This book is about a thirteen year old genius named Artimes Fowl and one day he travels to London with his bodyguard, Butler. Artimes meets a famous guy called Jon Spiro and shows him this unique cube made of fairy technology, but he plans not to sell it. Jon is so interested that he somehow steals the C cube, as Artimes calls it. During Jon’s escape, Butler was injured by a bullet from Mr. Spiro’s bodyguard, Arno Blunt. Artimes manages to get in touch with his fairy friend, Holly Short. Holly and Butler were good friends, so Holly decides to heal him using her fairy magic. After several hours, Butler returned to life, but the fairy magic was so strong, he aged during the operation. Well, Jon Spiro is very excited, but when he gets to his office, he figures out that he can’t use the C cube. Artimes formed an Eternity Code. You see, an eternity is very complicated. The person who makes the code has to make up their own language and use it as their password. Mr. Spiro gets very angry so he hires two people, the metal man and the monkey, to kidnap Artimes and bring him here so he could get the code. Turns out the monkey is a dwarf and had once cooperated with Artimes before on some other mission. So Mulch Diggums (called the monkey since he’s so puny) pretends to kidnap Artimes, but he still brings him to Jon. Now, Artimes has to act scared and all, but he has already schemed up a plan and Mulch, plus Holly and Juliet( Butlers sister. She wants revenge), have to do it right or else Jon Spiro will activate the code and control the whole world. Fairy technology can be very powerful. So, will Artimes’ plan fail or will it succeed? Well, you’re going to have to read this book to find out! :] I hope you have fun when reading this!

At first, he was just a boy with no identity in Nazi occupied Warsaw, Poland, and the first thing that he remembers is being a thief. Then Uri and other boys find him, give him the name Misha Pilsudski, and give him a place to live. But they have to live in hiding, because the Nazis can’t find out that they are Jewish. You can see the sadness of the things that happen through Misha’s eyes, a young boy’s eyes, as the story follows Misha and the orphans as they are forced to live behind the brick wall of the ghetto in Warsaw. There, Misha finds a family, changes his identity again, and struggles to find food for the boys, the orphans, and his family. But when the trains come to empty out the Jewish from the ghetto, he loses the person that he loved the most. Another fantastic book by Jerry Spinelli, Milkweed is so beautifully written and a definitely a favorite. Even though I love this book, I did have a bad dream about it once. I recommend it for both boys and girls.

This book is great if you like mysteries and magic. It is about two 14-year-old girls who were separated at birth. They look a lot alike. Each one’s friends say they are twins. If they ARE twins, they aren’t ordinary ones. They have magical powers. They met at Big Sky (an amusement park). Their names are Cam Barnes and Alex Feilding. Alex’s mom passes away. A doctor that was taking care of her said that her mom wanted to give her something that was hers. I bet you are wondering what that something is. Meanwhile, pop-sensation Marleigh is kidnapped! I think this book would attract more girls than boys because there is a little bit of just plain talkady-talkady-talk.

What if thirteen year old Brian Robeson didn’t get rescued in the book Hatchet? This is the book about Brian’s winter in the Canadian woods. After he got the supplies from the crashed plane, he finished all the food and the rifle broke so he had to go back to using the bow and arrow to hunt for food. One day, he was awakened by a clanging sound. A bear was in his shelter and Brian kicked the bear. The bear turned around and swiped Brian to the edge of the icy water. The bear went into the water and found Brian’s fish trap. The bear ate the food there and went away. Brian decided he needed a stronger weapon. He made a bow and arrowheads out of the rock.

Later, Brian found a dead deer eaten by wolves. Brian took the rest of the deer to his shelter. As he cooked his food, a skunk walked four feet in front of him and raised its tail. Brian froze and the skunk just stood there with its tail up. Brian slowly got a piece of meat and tossed it to the skunk. The skunk took the piece of meat and walked away. The next day, Brian looked outside and saw the skunk wasn’t there. As Brian cooked the meat, the skunk waddled to Brian’s shelter and raised its tail. Brian threw some food from the pot and the skunk took it.

One day, a bear came and tried to get food from Brian. The skunk came just in time and sprayed to bear directly in the eye. The next day, Brian went hunting and saw a moose. He shot the moose in the chest. The moose came charging at Brian. Would Brian survive? Would he kill the moose? If he survives in the cold weather, how is he ever going to get home? Read Brian’s Winter to find out. I think both boys and girls would like this book about survival.
