The Maze of Bones (39 Clues, No. 1)

By Rick Riordan

"You have a choice - one million dollars or a clue." - Author of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, the 39 Clues is a Cahill family competition. You either pick the million dollars or get the first clue. The Cahill family is the world's most powerful family. Name someone, they are in the family. Abraham Lincoln, Benjamin Franklin. Anybody. Even Amy and Dan didn't know they were related to people that famous. How could they be poor then? Who were their mom and dad? They had a lot of questions. Now they were stuck with their aunt. Their Grandmother Grace Cahill had left them. She was a great grandmother. I liked that Rick Riordan used words to describe the character's feelings at the time. Their au revoire is Nellie, who will take them all over the world. This book was really good. They find Clue 2 when they thought someone took it from them. I would recommend this book to mystery lovers and action lovers. I rate this 5 stars.

You Have To Stop This (Secret (Pb))

You Have To Stop This (Secret (Pb))

undefined

This book is really good! On the challenging scale, I would rate it a 3 - just right! The summary of this book is basically about how Cass and Max-Ernest save the world, I guess. They steal the ring from Lord Pharaoh and Cass learns the Secret. By the way, the secret is - actually, I can't tell you! My favorite part (yet it was also my least favorite part - so aggravating!)was when Cass learns the Secret. It turns out that the Secret was just a joke! Argh!!! I would recommend this book to 3rd to 7th grade.

Mysteries in Our National Parks: Wolf Stalker: A Mystery in Yellowstone National Park

Mysteries in Our National Parks: Wolf Stalker: A Mystery in Yellowstone National Park

By Gloria Skurzynski, Alane Ferguson

Wolf Stalker is one of those books that you can't find anything bad to say about, but it's not Newbery award material. It has some charm to it, with somewhat interesting characters with whom you can relate to, accompanied by a nice, stable plot, but it doesn't stand out from the hundreds of thousands of books out there, and it'll probably never think about it now that it's done and read. You're being too harsh, you say, what with the plot being about saving a supposedly-bloodthirsty wolf, uncovering secrets, a grumpy foster kid, and an evil dude, but even with all those features, Wolf Stalker just isn't phenomenal or mind-blowing, although it does have a good message about preserving the world we live in and the animals that live in it with us. I liked it, and I'd say ages elementary through middle school will enjoy it.

This Isn't What It Looks Like (The Secret Series)

This Isn't What It Looks Like (The Secret Series)

By Pseudonymous Bosch

This book is really good! On the challenging scale, I would rate it a 3 - just right! This book is basically about how Cass eats Mr Hugo’s chocolate, and then goes into the past. She finds the Jester and does a bunch of stuff to prepare her to go back to the future. She makes sure the Jester and Anastasia leave her a box with the Secret in it. They do, but then the hieroglyphics rapidly turn to dust! What is Cass going to do? The author leaves us with a terrible cliffhanger! What is going to happen? Find out in the next book… yup, I’m also advertising - just kidding! I would recommend this book to 3rd to 7th graders.

The government only allows two children to be born in each family and they control every aspect of the citizens’ lives under its rule. And they monopolize the community by taking away their land, among other things, families having more than two children are forced to hide their third born child for fear of service consequences. The hidden children are labeled as shadow children because they are forced to hide in the shadows of their own homes Luke garner, the main character is the third born child in his family. He lives in the darkness in his home so he don't get discovered, that is, until he meets Jen And the biggest conflict is that he's not supposed to be alive as the government said “There will be consequences if someone has a third child.” I would recommend this to people who like mystery and science fiction.
