Dactyl Hill Squad was a nice book. It's about an orphan named Magdalys who lives in New York during the Civil War in a time when dinosaurs are still alive. She and her friends go to the local theater, only to be attacked by powerful who want free people of color to be sent back to the South into slavery. They successfully escape and are brought to Brooklyn, where the Vigilance Committee resides. It is there that Magdalys learns about her rare and exceptional ability to mentally communicate with dinosaurs. Using this gift, she teams up with her old and new friends to attempt to take down the evil people who illegally support slavery. This book has an unusual concept, and certain people just won't find it interesting and appealing. Being that the main character is 12 years old, the book is best seen as engaging by tweens.

I read this book in 3 days.... It is a book everyone should read. It also has some very political aspects. I enjoyed this book soon much, it was AMAZING! It shows a very emotional movie in your head. You should definitely read it if you are about 12 and up. Otherwise an outstanding story. It is a book you really cannot put down. Angie Thomas did and outstanding job, put so much effort and it was all worth it! This should in a Newberry Award! Highly Recommend!

This book seems interesting and I would love to review it!

Babymouse was a nice book to read. It's about the titular Babymouse, most popular for her graphic novels about her in elementary school, taking on middle school. She talks about how she wants to stand out in middle school but doesn't know how. Then, she joins the film club with all of her friends. She becomes the director of the movie that will debut at the middle school later on in the year. She takes on difficult tasks, like her diva actress or the insufficient setting, to make the movie of her dreams. But when she starts acting like a diva, her movie falls apart. She tries to save the movie, but she's not sure how. This book has good themes but the ending wasn't satisfying.

Rump is quite a remarkable book and is loosely based on the author's struggles. It's about a boy, Rump, living in the gold-mining part of a kingdom. He doesn't know much about his family history, due to his grandmother never really telling him. He doesn't even know his whole name, only that it begins with "rump", and that makes him a target of bullying. But when his grandmother dies, he is pushed to the edge. He learns of his magical powers to spin straw into gold, and he goes on an incredible adventure. He faces many obstacles over the period of a year, but he ends up with a satisfying conclusion. This book was great and it tells the amazing story of Rumpelstiltskin, some of which was never included in the original (or boring) versions.

I should win this quartet because I loved the first book, and I will definitely review the next three books as I have the first.
