Jack Blank and the Imagine Nation (A Jack Blank Adventure)

Jack Blank and the Imagine Nation (A Jack Blank Adventure)

By Matt Myklusch

This is a great book! I first heard about it from my teacher, and when I got it I couldn't put it down! It's about this boy named Jack Blank doesn't know who or where he comes from. He doesn't even know his real last name. All Jack knows is his bleak, dreary life at St. Barnaby's Home for the Hopeless, Abandoned, Forgotten, and Lost. Everything changes one morning when Jack receives two visitors. The first is a deadly robot straight out of one of Jack's favorite comic books, that tries its best to blow him up. The second is an emissary from a secret country called the Imagine Nation, where all the fantastic and unbelievable things in our world originate, including Jack. Jack soon discovers that he has an amazing ability - one that could make him the savior of the Imagine Nation and the world beyond, or the biggest threat they've ever faced. It's so amazing! They also have a sequel to it called the Secret War. I suggest you read this book fast because it's hard to get a copy at the library!

The Return of the King

The Return of the King

By J. R. R. Tolkien

So far, this has been an extremely interesting book. It has been very exciting with many interesting events. I chose to read this book because I have already read the first 2 books (The fellowship of the ring and the two towers) which have been very interesting so I thought I would like to read this one. It has not disappointed me. I would highly recommend this book.

The Witch's Boy

The Witch's Boy

By Kelly Barnhill

This book was very surprising, in a good way. When i first began reading it, I was a little bored, and almost considered stopping. But I decided to keep going, and so I finished the book. I am so glad I did! The Witch's Boy had an unique plot, something like which I have never seen before. The main character was Ned, who never spoke much after his twin brother. His mother was a witch, but then she had to travel away unexpectedly. While she is gone bandits show up to steal the magic his family guards. The only way to protect is to use it himself. Then he is kidnapped and must escape. Where is his mother? Why is the army gathering? What does the Bandit King's daughter have to do with anything? I recommend this book to all teens. There is violence, so it shouldn't be read by younger kids.

Blue Moon (Dead City)

Blue Moon (Dead City)

By James Ponti

Although I really enjoyed reading this book, I felt like it was kind of slow. While it still kept the beautiful light mood, I found this book predictable, beautifully so. This book I found really fun and funny, while still having some depth. I found lots of 2nd books about friendships and trust being tested, and while this book is the same, I found it shown from a different perspective. Instead of the usual, where the characters started distrusting each other, but have to put that aside because of some big turn or revelation, and then come out trusting each other more than ever, this book was able to bring in more characters into the web of good and bad relationships while still testing the ones who were already in the web. I found this book really fun. Like always, I would like to thank the author and everybody else who contributed to this book. I would recommend this book to people in middle school, and especially people who don't like to read. I found this book really exciting, and I hope you do too! Thanks!

After spending a lot of time on the moor and on this case Sherlock Holmes and Watson are winners once again.

The Lord of Opium

The Lord of Opium

By Nancy Farmer

The next installment of the Newberry winning book series; House of the Scorpion, is here, and it's just as good as the original! The lord of opium once follows the adventures of Matt, as El Patron has kicked the bucket, and now Matt, being his clone, is now the new lord of opium. This book is the perfect balance of dystopian fiction, science fiction, and young adult fiction. As I was reading this I was very relieved that Nancy Farmer's exquisite storytelling weaved the loose ends of the last book into a perfect braid of relief. One downside of this book however is that I felt like the climax was a bit rushed, but hey, nothing is completely perfect. This book is a perfect conclusion to, in my opinion, one of the best books of all time, unless... a sequel? Well, probably not, but maybe if I write enough letters, and write enough online reviews, that'll happen.
