The 39 Clues: Doublecross Book 1: Mission Titanic

The 39 Clues: Doublecross Book 1: Mission Titanic

By Jude Watson

From the first 39 Clues book I couldn't get enough of the series. I began reading it because the first book was by Rick Riordan, one of my favorite authors, but then I continued to read to ones after written by other authors. I ended up learning about new authors and reading their other books, like Gordon Korman. I recognized this book's author, Jude Law, because she wrote the fourth book in the 39 Clues series, Beyond the Grave. Hearing about this book, I was super happy that they were going to continue the series and that they even found a way to bring Amy and Dan back into the story. Double Cross Book 1: Mission Titanic, is about the new head of the Cahill family, Ian Kabra. For Ian, this has been what he's been working for his entire life. However, he underestimated exactly how much responsibility the job requires. And just how much his own family would betray him to get his position. At a Cahill family meeting a sinister force, calling himself the Outcast, kicks Ian out of his own house calling him to young and weak for such an important role. However, he offers Ian a series riddles to decode to regain his rightful spot. With each riddle, there is a disaster set to occur and its up to Ian to stop it. His first mission is to save a boat rigged to sink. Ian is forced to get past his ego and look to his younger allies in the Cahill family for help. The books brings back your favorite characters, as well as introducing new ones. For fans of the 39 Clues series, this is a must read!

Knights vs. Dinosaurs

Knights vs. Dinosaurs

By Matt Phelan

Victoria

The book I read is called Knights vs. Dinoisors and written by: Matt Phelon and the year it was written in was 2018. I like the book because there are dinoisors, nights ,and fighting. All four brave nights ,and a squire set off to find a particular cave with a fortune in it. As the sun rose Sir Eric pointed the way to the cave. On the way to the cave they had to fight 3 T-Rexs. They got to the cave but all they found was a tooth so they grabbed it and got on there horses and went home.When they got back to their Kingdom they presented the tooth to the King and Queen. In my opinion what I like about the book is what happens in chapter 10 A COME COOL SWIM because when one of the knights said”RETREAT “ they ran until they found a beautiful lake. One of the knights said” I suggest that we have a swim”. But when they were swimming and relaxing they were attacked by a water dragon. They killed the water dragon.In my opinion what I don’t like about the book is that there was only 14 chapters. I would want there to be more, then just 14 chapters. I wanted to know if there was something important about the tooth and the cave.I wanted to know if they had another journey.I really wish there was more to the book. I recommend this book to whoever likes KNIGHTS and DINOSAURS.

A Good Day for Climbing Trees

A Good Day for Climbing Trees

By Jaco Jacobs

It was weird at first but more interesting when you got deeper into the book and another cool feature about it is that it had a very heart-touching meaning but in the end it was very funny.

Ashes

Ashes

By Ilsa J. Bick

It's end of the world but still lovable. It's 465 pages long, so pretty short, it's similar but not the same as The Enemy series. I finished it a few months ago but forgot to update. I enjoyed it, and think it's a cliff hanger. I went to read book two but it follows other people and we have no idea what happens! I still want to find book two and get a chance to finish it. I think you should read it. My sister thinks it weird, but I think it is pretty cool. Reply if you think weird or cool.

Forget Me Not

Forget Me Not

By Ellie Terry

This book is SO amazing. Every page is like a poem or a song. It’s so beautiful! I love books about people who are different races, orientations, with disabilities, etc. Calliope is a great protagonist. She is brave (like the poppy). She always can help others and knows when to do the right thing. She wishes she was different. I can relate to her personality, because I am kind and I help others, but I also feel bad about myself, and I’m not confident. If you read this book, you will definitely cry, laugh, and learn new things. Tourette’s syndrome is usually misjudged. People think people with Tourette’s are angry 24/7, curse 24/7, and hurt others physically and mentally. Calliope is the opposite of that. She is kind, funny, loving, and a great friend. Jingsong is a great sub-protagonist as well. He is caring, and he stands up for others. When others were teasing and bullying Calliope, he protected her and had a gut feeling that he needs to take action. I believe we all need to be like Jingsong,(of course, without the punching) and stand up for what is right. I definitely recommend this to everyone. The different character Arcs and perspectives are a great way to fill in details that the readers want to know more about. I love the verse writing so much for Calliope, and Jingsongs perspective are so detailed and many poem-esc vibes are in the text. I want this author to write a sequel or another book like this. Thank you so much!
