A simple and wonderful and wholesome story in all the coolest ways. Yang wanted to showcase coding and he did just that. It will now be a series about coding that I will look forward to. In this first story, the main character is now attending a new school, an odd school where everything seems a bit odd. She was a basketball star in her old school and gets into it with a few boys right away. But the strangeness continues and she befriends a boy who together they realize that codes are sending them messages. The three-eyed birds are really just codes, they are able to pick a lock in a mysterious shed at the school where the maintenance guy has a robotic turtle that with coding, does the sweeping/shoveling. It's fast-paced in a sparse but smart way. The characters are endearing and the situations are as much science fiction as they are humorous with a dose of real school drama. Definitely will keep my finger on the pulse of these books.

I am dying to read this book. Ever since I found out that he was writing a fourth book I've been reading the first four. By far the third book is my favorite, I've read it fourteen times. I can't wait to see what he will do with connects written stories, that stories that are from the other world. But I mean the one thing that I didn't like about the fourth book was the ending it was way to big of a cliff hanger. But now I'm dying to read the fifth book.

Great movie, but my parents didn't like it.

Epic movie! Has tons of thrilled action scenes! 11/10

Great movie. Hope there's a 2nd movie for it!

I love how it is about ghost hunting and takes place in England. I find it interesting how the ghost hunters are around 10 to 16 year old kids and I also really love how it uses real ghost repellent theories, such as salt, iron, and silver. I like how we see through the main character’s eyes and see what it’s like to ghost hunt, not to mention the main character does make mistakes and is not a perfect person. I find it useful that there is a glossary at the back explaining the types of ghost and what repellent does what. I do not think this is a good book for the easily scared, but it might be a mildly scary book for an RL Stein horror reader. However during the Red Room part, it gets a little bit gory, like blood dripping and all that. I find it more lifelike since they have real life predicaments, such as not getting enough business, being in debt, rivalry with other businesses, and trying to gain client’s trust. I really like how the main characters interact like normal friends and have semi-normal arguments [I can’t really say they have normal arguments, since they are ghost hunters!]. My favorite character is Lockwood, because I love his personality; that is why I love the Skullduggery series, Skullduggery has a similar personality. I am not a romance kind of person, so I am happy to say that there is no romance, well, except for the ghost and the other guy… I think this book is alright for 12 and up readers.

Bailey lives in a world where all people have an animas, a “kin” animal that shares a part of your soul. Usually the animas is discovered when the child is around 10 or so, but Bailey is a late bloomer or worse yet an Absence. When he is chosen to attend the prestigious Fairmont Academy he has high hopes. One of the most important experts on animas is there and hopefully knows ways to help him awaken to his animas. This story is told against the backdrop of civil unrest. The king was assassinated, the man who replaced him has been overthrown and now the king’s daughter is trying for the throne. But she wants to sever the animas bond and instead make animas subservient to humans. This book definitely has a Harry Potter vibe going for it with a steampunk theme added in. Like Harry Potter, Bailey has to learn how to navigate a new boarding school and find new friends who don’t mind that he is an Absence. He becomes a slammer for the sports team, a real feat without animas. Adding to the fun is a prophecy and someone out to kill him. Will Bailey and his friends be able to survive everything happening around them? This is a fun new series for middle school readers.

I love books with sentient buildings, and Castle Glower is a wonderful example. It adds, removes, and changes rooms, sometimes at a whim, other times for very good reasons - like imprisoning enemy spies, or making it obvious who it wants to be the next king. The Castle's preferences are why it's the King's second son that's the Crown Prince (the eldest is training to be a wizard instead). But its favorite is the youngest of the King's children, Princess Celie - who loves it in return, and knows the ways around it better than anyone else.

I like this book because it's full of mysteries, action, and inventions. I would give this a 5 star. Nick and Tesla go to their Uncle Newts House after their parents leave to study soybeans in Uzbekistan. When they get to their Uncle Newts house they figure out that their uncle is a scientist. They make a rocket and accidentally launch it into an abandoned houses yard. When Nick goes to fetch it two dogs named Jaws and Claws come out of nowhere and chases Nick.Then they meet two kids named Silos and Demarco. The next morning Nick and Tesla create a plan to get the rocket ship back. When Nick gets over the fence he sees a girl locked up in a room with a sign saying GO AWAY. Then Nick hears Jaws and Claws and decides to go back to safety. Will Nick and Tesla unravel all the mysteries in the neighborhood? If you want to find out read the book!

I really enjoyed the first book, and was very excited to continue reading about the adventures of Ronan, Jack, Greta and Sammy. Also there are new characters who are just as fun to get to know. The story is fresh and exciting, and we learn more about the Blood Guard and their enemies. The new adventure centers around a mysterious test and strange happenings at the testing facility. Without giving too much of the story away, I can safely say that there are surprises, epic battles, and strange new characters. surprises, I am excited to see where this series goes, and plan on reading every book as it comes out, and would recommend the same to everyone.
