Ever wondered about time? Follow Aru Shaw, the pandava of her generation. The pandavas are suppose to be famous in Hindu mythology. They each like different things. For example Arjuna likes to battle. Their soul gets passed down from generation to generation. There is this lamp that is cursed. If you light it then an evil demon comes out. Aru is usually a liar so her classmates don't believe her when she says that the lamp is cursed. They dare her to light the lamp. Just one quick light and I will blow it out, she thinks. But, lighting the lamp has bad consequences. She apparently releases the Sleeper. The Sleeper plans to wake up Lord Shiva( the god of destruction) and destroy the world. Aru meets this other pandava named Mini. They soon figure out that Aru is the daughter of Lord Indra( the god of gods) and Mini is the daughter of Dharma Raja( the god of death). The keys unlock an entrance to the Kingdom of Death without dying. They have to get into the Kingdom of Death to know how to stop the sleeper. Follow Aru and Mini's adventure to save the world and a quest for the three keys! This book was very exciting! It also has a lot of Hindu mythology. It can teach a lot about culture. It was also very informational. I would recommend this book for grades 3 and up. I think you should read this book!

Follow Stellan and Jyett on an adventure for a quest for their mother and father. Their mother get taken away by these people called Roguers. They take cubs and kill them to worship a clock. They think the clock is a god and that it is very powerful. Along the way Stellan and Jyett meet many friends. They have also seen some Roguers. This book was okay. They stop in the middle of the adventure and say that the quest continues in book two. Not much happened. I would rate this book two stars. I think it is not what you think the book is about. You should still read this book though. Maybe you will think differently.

Bears of Ice: The Quest of the Cubs is a story about two cubs, first and second, and how they survive without their mother. For multiple generations, polar bears have ruled over the Northern Kingdom. However, a new cult was formed of bears who worship the Ice Clock. They sacrifice bears to the clock. When Roguers decide to take first and second, their mom decides to serve in their place. However, instead she tells her cubs that she is going to the Den of Forever Frost. When the cubs find out that their caretaker is who she seems like, they run away. They encounter many friends and foes on their journey, but also some traitors. This was an interesting book, but I was not hooked into the book. One thing I enjoyed about it was the photographs. It reminded me of the photographs in Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, but they were not as life-like. This is not must-read, but a good book none the less. I recommend it for grades 4 and up

After that he goes on a quest to find his name and destiny. Along the way he meets pixies and trolls and discovers a secret of the trolls. I thought this book was pretty good. I think you should read it. In most Rump stories, he seems like a bad guy. Lisel Shurtliff finds good qualities of Rump. She tries to make Rump seem like a good person. I recommend this book for grades 3 and up. This was a great book!

Like the book says, "One friend can make all the difference". This book shows how friendships affect people's lives. Charlotte Lockard and Ben Boxer live more than a thousand miles apart, but are friendly online Scrabble rivals. Ben does not have friends at school, and wishes he had friends to talk to. His parents are also getting divorced, but he does not understand why. Ben also gets bullied at school. Charlotte has a friend, Bridget, but she realizes after a while, that Bridget is not really her friend. At the same time, her father is at the hospital because of a car crash. Throughout the book, both Ben and Charlotte find friends in unexpected people. I liked this book a lot. It shows the reader the importance of friendship, and how friends affect each other. This is a good read for grades five and up.

Charlotte and Ben are friends that live more than 1,000 miles apart. they are both TAG students ( talented and gifted), they are both lonely with no friends, and both like to play Scrabble. Ben likes to recycle. Charlotte likes to collect rocks and wants to be a geologist when she grows up. They are both friends on online Scrabble. Follow their adventures in school and their way to find friendship. This book was pretty okay to me. it is just about friendship. Their wasn't very much and it was a bit slow pacing. I think you should still read it though. I rate it a 2.5 star book.
