Poached (FunJungle)

Poached (FunJungle)

By Stuart Gibbs

This is the second book in the FunJungle series by Stuart Gibbs, Teddy gets accused of stealing a koala by Large Marge, the head of security, who has a serious grudge on Teddy because he is always playing pranks. But he would never break the law! In order to prove his innocence, he has to find the real kidnapper, even though J.J. McKracken told him not to, or else he might fire his parents. Teddy, once again turns out to be smarter than Large Marge, who is so focused on busting him, she almost lets the kidnapper get away. On top of all that, he is getting bullied at school, but in the end, everything turns out fine, and Teddy even ends up at the popular table in the cafeteria. This book was all right, but I think that all of Stuart Gibbs' books are pretty much the same, it's always the same plot, same writing style, and same character personalities. My favorite series of his is Spy School, but after that it gets pretty repetitive.

Bad News (The Bad Books)

Bad News (The Bad Books)

By Pseudonymous Bosch

I just finished a book called "Bad Luck" by Pseudonymous Bosch. The genre is fantasy because there are fantasy creatures in the book. I rated it " just right" on a scale of 1 to 5 of easy, going up to challenging. I think I would recommend this book for grades 4 to 6. I really liked this book, but it is the third in a series, so you should start with the first two which are really good too.

Spy Camp (Spy School)

By Stuart Gibbs

This book is the second book in the series of Spy School. Ben Ripley, a first-year at the Spy School, had almost been killed by a secret organisation called SPYDER. After the school year, he finds that he is going to Spy Camp! He also finds a mysterious note in his room that said: Hey Ben! Just wanted you to know we’ll be coming for you soon. Your Pals at SPYDER. He shares this with Erica Hale, who worked with him in the first case with SPYDER (in the first book), and also his friend Tina Cuevo, who will be going to Vancouver this year. When he gets to Spy Camp, however, 3 students: Jawa, Warren and Zoe (Ben’s best friend) find out about the secret organisation. Hank, Ben’s counsellor at the camp, and another student named Claire from the M1 - 6 academy in England also find out about SPYDER. One day, the famous agent Alexander Hale, (Erica’s father) comes to pick up Ben and Erica joins them. Soon Ben finds out that Alexander is actually is a big coward and all the crimes he’s done, someone else did the work and he just took credit for it. They visit a place where some men are reacting the Civil War. Soon Erica’s grandfather, Cyrus Hale, joins them and defeats the SPYDER agents. But soon, Cyrus and Erica are captured. Alexander seems ashamed because he knows why SPYDER wants his father, he knows the nuclear missile codes! And SPYDER wants to launch a missile to Camp David, where the president of the US and other representatives of state are. Soon, Warren, Zoe, Hank ands Claire join them. Remember the letter SPYDER agents sent Ben? There was a tiny bit of coal attached to it and Ben finds out that the coal belongs to a coal mine nearby! And it might be SPYDER’s base! They persuade Alexander to come too, and off they go! Once they get there, they find out that there are 3 missiles waiting to launch! Unfortunately, Alexander was bluffing when he said that he could stop a missile from launching. He goes with Ben’s friends to find Erica and Cyrus, which leaves only Ben to deal with the missile. Murray Hill, an evil SPYDER agent, and Joshua Halall, another evil agent, threaten to kill Ben. He tricks them and he breaks the power cord to the missile. Unfortunately, the missile explodes and everybody flees. Eventually Murray Hill gets left in the base (because his running was so slow), and Joshua dies when he falls off a cliff. Everyone cheers, and they celebrate their great victory! Erica says that she owes Ben her life, and maybe the two have became closer! Find out more in the next book!

Not If I Save You First

Not If I Save You First

By Ally Carter

This book is interesting. It is very suspenseful and funny. But it is a little uncomfortably romantic. I would warn that from the summary the book gives, you don't know that it is pretty much a romance book. Other than that, I really liked this book. Maddie is not a normal girl. Her father is the Secret Service for the POTUS. And Maddie is friends with the POTUS's son, Logan. But after a life changing event, Maddie and her father must leave Washington D.C. and move to Alaska. That means leaving Logan. In Alaska, Maddie is a new person. She's tough, strong, and confident. Maddie, over the years, has tried to keep in contact with Logan but he has never written back. Maddie finally forgets about Logan. But one day, Logan shows up in Alaska. Maddie is ready to hate him, but inwardly she still misses him. After he gets kidnapped in Alaska, Maddie must make the decision to save him and reconcile. This book is pretty good. I think it would have been better if there weren't romantic parts but that is just my opinion. I suggest it if you like girl-power, romance, adventure and friendship. Happy reading!
