Spooks. I Am Grimalkin

Spooks. I Am Grimalkin

By Joseph Delaney

This is for people who want to watch a horror movie but can't go to the cinema to buy tickets.

The Disappearing Magician (Magic Shop Series)

The Disappearing Magician (Magic Shop Series)

By Kate Egan, Mike Lane

I like it because it shows how to do magic tricks and Mike's fear of being on stage for a talent show.

Junior Novel (The LEGO Batman Movie)

Junior Novel (The LEGO Batman Movie)

By Jeanette Lane

This book was very true to the movie, except it omitted the names of the villains from the Phantom Zone, which was kind of a bummer, because I was excited to read about the Daleks again. But it was funny and the chapters were perfect size to read one a night right before bed.

Noggin

Noggin

By John Corey Whaley

Travis Coates is alive. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them, five years had passed. His friends are five years older, and he is still the same age. His girlfriend is engaged to someone else. Travis Coates volunteered to undergo Cryogenic Reanimation after being told he was dying from leukemia. His head was chopped off, put in a freezer, and then put onto someone else’s body. Now Travis’s world has turned upside-down. Why did everything change? How can he go back to his old life—the happy life where he HAD a girlfriend? In a thought-provoking, unique story, Travis is trying to figure everything out; and reclaim the old life he once had. What I thought about it: Noggin was wonderful. It was such a quirky, fun read. This book was so weird—but incredible at the same time. This book has such an absurd concept—but you fall in love with it, and it is amazing how the author came up with this. You almost feel bad for Travis—the poor guy almost died, had to be in a freezer for 5 years, got a new body, and now his best friends are in college and his girlfriend is engaged. :O This book was very much a love story as well as a sci-fi book—it is largely about him trying to get his old girlfriend back. Poor Travis. Chasing after his past, to make it like it was before. I really loved the love (see what I did there? :-) in this book. It added a great touch to to the book. If you are a fan of YA, and/or sci-fi, DEFINITELY pick this book up. You WILL love it. I will definitely read John’s other books! Overall: 9.5 Stars

Endure (Defy, Book 3) (Defy Trilogy)

Endure (Defy, Book 3) (Defy Trilogy)

By Sara B. Larson

This is the third book in the series so I'm going to assume that most people reading this review have read the first two books. To the people deciding if they should read the third book in the series: why wouldn't you finish the series? Not finishing would be like eating only half a cookie. Why would anyone do that?!? I tell you - no one! Most of us when it comes to cookies or the final book of a series are like the Cookie Monster from Sesame Street. What I thought of the book: To be honest, it was a disappointing conclusion to a series that started great. Most of the book was spent trying to build it to a climax which is not how a final book should be. It should be in the thick of the climax; not building it. What made it worse was that I wasn't engaged with the storyline or characters. Characters could die and I wouldn't care one bit. It felt like the author was giving us crumbs of a cookie not a gooey, chewy, M&M filled cookie. I could see the potential but it just didn't deliver.

Shadow Island: Desperate Measures (Stranded)

Shadow Island: Desperate Measures (Stranded)

By Jeff Probst, Christopher Tebbetts

The first one is so good. It blow my mind how awesome a B.O.B book could be. If I were you I would read it, it is all about these kids that get stranded on an iland with only each other to realy on.

Midnight Thief, Book 1 Midnight Thief

Midnight Thief, Book 1 Midnight Thief

By Livia Blackburne

Midnight Thief was not the story I originally expected, but it was loads better than I could have ever imagined and I loved every second of it. The book is action-packed (After you get to the 25% mark), fast-paced, adventure-filled, heart-pounding, fantastic fantasy, that is not to be missed! I enjoyed the writing style and look forward to future works from Livia Blackburne.
