    1st Book-Darrell Rivers go off to her boarding school for the fist time, at 13. She makes friends in a split-second with the clever and mischievous Alicia, who makes everyone in the first form crack up. But first term is not that great for Darrell, for she has to cope with her dreadful temper, Sally's peculiar behavior and, the mean tricks that are played on poor and shy Mary-Lou. 2nd Book- Darrell, Alicia, Sally, Mary Lou, and all the other girl in the first term are now in the second for, and as energetic as ever. Mam'zelle Dupont, trying to be strict, but little does she know that Alicia has some tricks up her sleeve. The new girl, Daphne becomes friends with the dreadful Gwendoline, which causes some trouble. 3rd Book-The girls return for the next term to see a few new girls. Zerelda, the American girl, Bill, short for Wilhelmina, who is in LOVE with horses, and Mavis, who has a tremendous voice, and could be a star someday. This term will be exciting, but there will be incidents along the way. 4th Book- The Upper Fourth is hopefully not as bad as the other three. There is Alicia with her tricks, Darrell with her dreadful temper, diffident Mary-Lou, the crazies with Belinda and Irene, and much more. This year, exams are up, and so is the summer term, which all the girls are excited about. 5th Book- This year we have a pantomime, Cinderella! All directed, produced and acted by the girls themselves. Alicia must be cool with her tricks, but only so much can happen when you keep these wacky girls in responsibility of a play. What will happen in this story? Read to find out! 6th Book- In this last book, we have all the girls in their last form, with Darrell has head of form. Not everyone is as responsible as she is. She sees a change in everyone, including Amanda's boasting, Gwendoline's scowls and rude comments towards Jo who doesn't have a clue what's going on in this world. And in this whole mess, Darrell will find her last term a dramatic and a remarkable one. Conclusion- In all, I would like to say that these series are my favorite book in the world! I hope you read these books like now. Stop finding book to read and read this one! I have given you enough information! Now go!

    As the race to find the 39 Clues builds to its explosive finish, Amy and Dan must explore an ancient culture and steal a Clue guarded by thousands of the world's best-trained soldiers. It's the most dangerous Clue search yet. As their enemies crowd in, Amy and Dan find themselves separated for the first time ever. The choice lies before them - find the next Clue, or find their way back to each other. It is a splendid book and I hope you will read it and enjoy it like me.

    Something in Between- This is the greatest book of all time. This book is about a teen named Jessica de los Santos, who is from the Philippines. She is doing her cheer leading in school, when a letter from the president comes, explaining how she is a national scholar and has a free ride for 4 years in any college that she gets into. This is when her dream comes true. All she has to do is get paperwork from her parents saying that they are american citizens and she's off to fulfill her dreams. As she explains to her parents what the deal is, she is struck with news that they are illegal aliens. What will Jessica do now? You must read the book to find out! Please read this book and I assure you, that you will be hooked to the book, but will be sad when it ends, but that's what books do, end. So stop looking for books to read and read Something in Between!!!!

    Blog Culture Clips En EspaƱol About Us THE SWORD THIEF BOOK REVIEW This mystery book by Peter Lerangis is the third book in " The 39 Clues" series and is published by Scholastic, Inc. The Sword Thief is written for kids ages 9 to 12. The age range reflects readability and not necessarily content appropriateness. PLOT SUMMARY In the first book in "The 39 Clues" series (The Maze of Bones), Dan and Amy Cahill's wealthy grandmother, Grace, dies and leaves a challenge to her large extended family: Whoever finds the 39 clues she's left behind will gain wealth and prestige beyond their wildest dreams. Orphaned Amy (age 14) and her brother, Dan (age 11), are determined to outplay their vicious, devious family members. In this book, Dan and Amy find their boarding passes missing after Nellie (the kids' au pair [nanny]) has boarded their plane to Tokyo. Uncle Alistair, a competitor, offers to take the kids to Tokyo on his private jet. Though Dan and Amy have been warned not to trust anyone, they have little choice but to accept since Nellie, their only adult-figure, is already en route to Japan. Once in Tokyo, Alistair and the kids discuss Japanese history and decide the clues are pointing them to an ancient warrior from the Thomas branch of the Cahill family named Hideyoshi and his descendants, the yakuza. They've just printed out a map of secret subway tunnels when they realize their computer has been hacked by the Holt family, another competitor. The Holts capture and transport them to the subway, where the whole group looks for clues until they're almost hit by a train. The Holts escape the way they entered, while the kids are saved by Alistair, who pulls them into a secret room within the tunnel walls. Yakuza warriors with swords quickly drive Alistair and the kids above ground, but just as they're about to be captured, Nellie, the two relatives who stole their boarding passes (Ian and Natalie Kabra), and Grace's cat, Saladin, arrive to save them. Alistair and the kids decide to work with the Kabras temporarily. Ian gives Amy a coin with a symbol on it, and in conjunction with a scroll they've found in the subway, the group decides the clues are pointing toward Alistair's homeland, Korea. On the flight, Alistair thinks about his painful discovery: Many years ago his Uncle Bae hired someone to murder Alistair's father. When the next clue leads them to an alchemy chart and a mountain cave containing a new clue, Ian takes back the coin and uses it to seal Amy, Dan and Alistair in the cave while he and Natalie escape to continue their quest. Alistair and the kids find gunpowder fuses and blow their way out of the cave, but Alistair does not emerge from the rubble. The children appear devastated because they think he died. Bae and the elusive man in black (who appears briefly in each book) watch their reactions from the shadows. They also believe Alistair has been killed. As the children and Nellie resignedly head to Egypt to follow the next lead... hoped you liked it!
