Only If You Dare: 13 Stories of Darkness and Doom
By Allen, Josh
4.754 ratings3 reviews
atroit_avimimus44 stars
Like most collections of middle grade scary stories, “Only If You Dare” is a mixture of truly creepy, not so creepy, and a few somewhat predictable. Josh Allen’s book does not resort to the traditional horror tropes, not a single vampire or witch, and based on the one completed illustration and a...

Middle School Bites: Out for Blood
By Banks, Steven
4.754 ratings3 reviews
atroit_avimimus44 stars
I expected this to be a kid friendly, off-kilter, but fairly predictable school daze comedy with a Vam-Wolf-Zom angle. Fair enough. I did not, however, expect the witty, deadpan, and clever bits, set pieces, and throwaway lines that really set this book, (the third in the series), apart from more...

Pokémon: Sun & Moon, Vol. 1 (Pokemon)
By Hidenori Kusaka
41 ratings1 reviews
nagitoriel44 stars
I hated the Sun and Moon anime. Most of the characters were bland and annoying (I will admit, I did enjoy Sophocles' character, though) and Ash was, as usual, almost completely oblivious to the fact that he'd actually had experience with Pokémon before. But, this review isn't about the anime. It'...

Stuart Gibbs never fails to amaze me. His works are some of the most clever, creative, and enticing books I have ever had the pleasure of reading- FunJungle included. The series takes place in a tourist attraction called- I bet you'll never guess- FunJungle. We follow Teddy Fitzroy, a twelve-yea...

WARNING, THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. This is an amazing book about the adventures of Percy Jackson. My great friend was reading the series and I had to know what it was.

The Candymakers

jsmyth44 stars
This book reminds me why I always tell fellow readers to give young adult books a chance. The only complaint I have about The Candymakers is due to the fact that these books are unfortunately targeted towards young adult readers rather than adults that are young at heart. On that note, the only ...

I think this book is a great push for anti- racism. In this book the Méndez family fight for segregation. They tried to enroll 5 kids in a school. 2 white kids got in, but 3 Mexican kids didn't. The Méndez family constantly asked why, but wouldn't get a answer. But after a year of fighting, they ...

felicisowl55 stars
Wonder was a book I first read 2 years ago, and over the years, I just couldn't stop re-reading it. The kids at my school call this book "childish", "horrible," and "weird just like the kid in the book." I think just the opposite. August is a normal kid on the inside, but not on the outside. ...

"Stay gold..." I read this when I was younger, but I never really understood it... due to the fact I read this book when I was in third grade, and I was too young to realize what it actually meant... I read this book earlier again during the summer... and wow... this book is really heartwarming.....
