The Door to the Lost sounds and appears to be an amazing adventurous book, which are my favorite kind of stories. I love the cover of the book since it is full of curiosity and mystery. I am really looking forward to reading this and finding out the real question; What is in the Door to the Lost?

Arianwyn has flunked her witch's assessment: She's doomed. Declared an apprentice and sent to the town of Lull in disgrace, she may never become a real witch-- much to the glee of her arch-rival, Gimma. But remote Lull is not as boring as it seems. Strange things are sighted in the woods, a dangerous infestation of hex creeps throughout the town, and a mysterious magical visitor arrives with his eye on her. With every spirit banished, creature helped, and spell cast, Arianwyn starts to get the hang of being a witch--even if she's only an apprentice. But the worst still lies ahead. For a sinister darkness has begun to haunt her spells, and there may be much more at stake than just her pride . . . for Arianwyn and the entire land.Such a amazing book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Frank Einstein is a science genius. He works on inventions and helps his grandpa with his shop while his crazy parents are traveling around the world for their travel blog. But Gramps is about to lose the shop because of the lack of finances, and Frank is convinced that he can win the Science Fair and win the money he needs to keep it open. On the night he tries to bring his robot to life, he misses his chance. Or so he thinks—a spark creates a chain reaction and builds two robots; and Frank is oblivious. After his failed invention, he wants to create something bigger, and better with the robots help, but his arch-nemesis may prove to be an obstacle. In a science-filled story, Jon Scieszka writes an illustrated adventure that is great for younger readers. My thoughts: I thought this book was a fast and fun read. I liked everything about this book, and I think young readers will love it, as well as fans of science. The illustrations were amazing, and I love the cover. This was a wonderful start to a sure-to-be-loved middle-grade series!

This book was one of the best books I've read. It was really intriguing and I enjoyed it a lot. One of the best parts of the book was the cover. It had the type of material where you could scratch it like on some Valentine cards except I've never seen it on a book. If you turn it side to side it shows a normal Professor and Professor Gargoyle. The book is about a seventh grader named Robert Arthur who's life has turned upside down. He was forced to switch schools while all of his friends stayed at the other school. The only person he knows at Lovecraft Middle School is the bully who had been tormenting him for years and will stop at nothing to get every single dollar out of Robert. Lovecraft Middle School has just been built and has everything state-of-the-art, but Robert doesn't like it. Things get even weirder when rats start jumping out of the brand new lockers. To top it off, his science teacher may not be human. With the help of some unexpected new friends can Robert save himself let alone Lovecraft Middle School? Professor Gargoyle was a fresh and exciting book. I can't wait to red the next Lovecraft Middle School book: The Slither Sisters!

It was an action adventure. Zeus was the youngest of six siblings the other five had been swallowed by their father Kronos. Zeus had been spared since his mother Ria had dressed a rock in swaddling clothes and tricked Kronos. WHen Zeus was full grown he freed his brothers and sisters by giving Kronos a special herb that would make him very sick. They needed weapons for a war that was coming up with the titans. So they went down to Tartarus to free the cyclops's and hundred handers. The Cyclops's made the weapons and the hundred handers decided to help destroy the titans by throwing boulders

This graphic novel is great! I would recommend it specifically to young children who like the Babymouse series. Low Riders in Space sets place in Mexico where everyone is a comical-looking bug. Three people, Lupe, El Chavo, and Elirio, are mechanics at a car shop. They each have a special talent that makes them each outstanding. But they're tired of working for their grouchy boss, so they find someone else to work with: themselves! But their lack of money crushes their dream. But when a contest that ask for the best car comes up, and you win a CARLOAD of cash, these three besties are up to the challenge. They fix up a lowrider(their favorite type of car) and make it into something stellar. But they need their car to be GALACTIC if they want to win. So, with the rocket engines Lupe installs in the car, they go through space! From stars that shine to jumping moon dust, these three will definitely be one of the best. But will their's be the best. In overwhelming ovation, they are cheered as they win the contest. They get their carload of money, and build their shop! This book is really nice for any kid because it's a graphic novel, and the characters speak Spanglish, so there are translations.

If your looking for something out of the ordinary (or maybe your mother didn't pack you a lunch) check out this hilarious graphic novel. Grunhilda, a witch out of work (people just don't believe in magic like they used to), takes a job as a lunch lady. Everything is going fine until Madison discovers her secret and threatens to expose her. Beautiful black humor and plenty of awkwardness to go around. If you want a good story, you won't go hungry.

While this book is below my grade level - way below - I actually found it to be amusing to an extent. This story is told through the perspective of Blizz Richards, a yeti who hangs around other creatures to study them. All of them have one thing in common : they can't be seen by humans. So when Blizz's cousin disappears, ashamed after being captured on camera by one of the world's most motivated cryptids researcher, Blizz makes it his mission to find his cousin during the family reunion. He does, and things only take a more interesting turn from there. Spoiler: the picture does not make it into the hands of the 'researcher' I think that as a book for younger children, Sherry's story is a good one. Definitely something I would give to a younger sibling as a gift. However, through the eyes of a more experienced reader, the plot is a little too simple, or coincidental. In all, I would rate this with 4 stars.
