Kids Books - Action

If this book was anything, it was CLEVER. And MINDBLOWING. And utterly EPIC. James Riley put himself in his own book, he put the first Story Thieves book in THIS book, the characters find out that they're fictional, they see their OWN BOOK and - It's just completely MINDBLOWING I CANNOT GET OVER HOW MINDBLOWING THIS IS. I love how the flashbacks come and pass and how Owen ironically thinks how annoying flashbacks are and - oh, do you know why he (and Kiel) are having flashbacks? Because Kiel erased their memories with his forget spell. But the memories do come back after awhile, you can only wonder What? Why? How? Who? When? My final say is that James Riley is on top of his game with these beautifully and ironically twisted stories, and I am just in love with his books right now.

This book was OUTSTANDING! Lacey Chu is a 7th grader and an extremely talented engineer who loves to tinker with creations of her own. Her dream is to be a companioneer, a person who creates bakus invented by the legendary Monica Chan, Lacey's IDOL. Monica created bakus as new electronic technology that looks and acts like an animal, but has all the tech to get you through your day. But to follow this dream, Lacey first has to make it into Profectus, the prestigious school run by MONCHA, Monica's company. And for that, she needs a Level 3 baku! Lacey stumbles upon some practically destroyed material in a ravine while trying to help out her best friend Zora. But only Lacey can turn rubble into a treasure, as she creates Jinx, the cat baku that can communicate telepathically with her! Lacey steps into Profectus with an enemy, Carter, who is a bully with an advanced boar baku that is determined to get her kicked out of the school, but Lacey is sure she can make her mark with baku battles... Add together a great team of new friends, a cute team captain, and a possible double crosser, equaling one AMAZING book! I was completely engaged as I read and I just couldn't stop! Amy McCulloch's writing pulled me in and my curiosity to find out what happened next kept me flipping the pages as quickly as I could! Jinxed is an amazing new novel and a sure-to-be hit! I recommend this book to everyone looking for their next great read! 5/5 stars!

One of the shortest mini series with Percy Jackson and the Kanes it is although interesting because the story is in Carter's point of view, and not Percy's!!!

It is totally cool about Sadie meeting Annabeth fighting Serapis a mix of Greek and Egyptian who was made by Ptolemy of Alexandria. Totally Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

I am 60% sure I've read it but, as I've said before, "I could be wrong!"! I really do think so. I may have just read the others in that!

Nicholas Benedict is a child genius. He can read any book in minutes, can figure out how to fix any machine, and has a phonographic memory. But he also has narcolepsy. Narcolepsy is a sleeping conditions that sends Nicholas in a deep sleep at any unexpected moment, but especially when he is experiencing strong emotions. Because of his character traits and his condition, Nicholas is sent to Rothchild's Manor after he is kicked out of a different orphanage. Here he is locked in his own room at night and bullied by the Spiders. He makes enemies and one friend-but will the pressure from the Spider's crack the friendship? Nicholas soon finds out about a mystery to solve-a hidden treasure. Turns out the founders of the orphanage (the Rothchilds) had more treasure-and part of it was missing, the secret buried with the couple. Nicholas is determined to find the treasure to free him from the orphanage life. But someone else is looking for the treasure-Mr. Collum, the orphanage director. Will Nicholas be able to beat Mr. Collum to the finish line? I liked in this book that Nicholas really makes having so much intelligence look like fun. In some other books children with incredible knowledge are portrayed in a negative fashion. I really liked that this was solid background information on Mr. Benedict from the series "The Mysterious Benedict Society". Now we meet Nicholas, his child self and learn where he came from, about his sleeping condition, and how he grew up. Although there are a few gaps, we now can understand Nicholas as an adult. The main character Nicholas, had depth. We felt what he was feeling, we understood him, we cried when he cried. However, the other characters seemed to be a bit predictable. John had a sob story background, and was hesitant to defy the bullies. Violet was kind and determined to help her family. Even though the characters had predictable faults I think Stewart did a great job of tying all the characters and the plot together so that the puzzle pieces fit. I also liked in this book that there were little hidden clues to the big picture. Stewart did a fine job of foreshadowing. I recommend this book to anyone 5th grade and up. I think the characters and overall mystery in this book would not be suitable for anyone below. On the other hand, I think this is the sort of book that any adult can read and still find enjoyable. I think this book is perfect for mystery lovers. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.

this is a good book. If you have read the Mysterious Benedict Society books, you will most likely enjoy solving these puzzles! (even if you haven't read it)

In life you need to not give up because a girl named lrene dini’t up and she has been throw a lot things in the short story Brave lrene wanted to give the dress to the duchess instead of her mom doing it in the story, “Brave Irene” by William staig Irene learns to not give up because if she gave up she would’nt be where she is right now. She probably went to see her mom face again and The Duchess would’nt get the dress that she wanted, Irene would just be freezing in the cold with nothing no blanket and it’s snowing she can’t even make a fire because snow is pretty much water and you need to put on a fire with water one reason when lrene did it give up is when the wind told her to go home thing, another reason is she fell in a hole For example the wind told her to go home lrene was scared but she didn't get up because she wanted to make her mom proud and not waste all of her mom's time stitching up The Duchess dress that's how she never give up and in the text it says, “the wind said go home lrene said I will do no such thing”. Another example is that she is brave to go bring the duchess her dress. this shows that lrene is brave. Another example is lrene I was looking for the dress after she lost it and she couldn't see with all the snow in her eyes and she fell in a hole and twisted her leg I'm sure it hurt but Irene kept on walking on the path. In the text she, “said ouch and there was a little tear that went down her cheek she wipt it off quickly so it won't freeze on her face”another example that she is brave is to go when it’s snowing. this shows that lrene is brave. Another example is she was freezing but she kept on walking and she was so cool a lot and she just kept on going on and he didn't think that you were going to die. And she was thinking about her mom and how she wanted to get back to her mom because she was really sick. In the text it says that she was, “shuffling through the snow.'' Another example that she is Brave is to takc care of her mom. This shows that lrene is brave. As you can see lrene it is very carrying and she is loving and she is very brave because she loves her mom and she does the work for her mom and she gives her mom a quilt and she meets her some lemon tea with honey. And she never gives up because if she did give up then she cannot see her mom’s face again and The Duchess won'tl get her dress that she wants and everything will all be messed up. And I'm sure that thay will all Miss Irene even if they don't know her I think that this book was awesome because I really enjoyed it and it made a lot of sense and it is something that I will be again and again definitelyand I am happy that she accomplished what she wanted to do.

This book is about life on the other side of the law and the not-so-clear distinction between right and wrong. I love this book because it has a slight twist of history and a lot of details. There are also some things in this book that leave you hanging. Plus, this author has also written the Gallagher Girls series! If you loved that you will love this one! Also, I am pretty sure there are a few more Heist Society books that Ally Carter wrote.

I bet it will be good!
