    snicker9 added a book review.
    This new installment in the Cahill family secrets certainly lives up to its predecessors. Dan and Amy Cahill are having fun living with their cousins and pulling off secret operations, and taking turns being the leader of the group. Then one day the CIA knocks on their door-they have a new mission. The government had been working on a top-secret disease that could knock out millions. But it was stolen by one of their own, the traitor Sinead Starling. So Dan, Amy and the other Cahills set off on an adventure to retrieve the poison and try to find out what Sinead Starling is about to. But finding out the truth might be harder than they thought, and there are others out there against the Cahills. Will the Cahills be able to stop the outbreak of a disease so powerful that it could wipe out the world? And find the truth about their rogue cousin? One part I liked international places in this book-specifically Cuba, which Sinead is targeting. The government plays a big part, and the tense relationship between the US and Cuba as well. It just made everything a little bit more interesting and tricky. Like other books in the 39 Clues, Super-special Outbreak is hair-raising, with with twists around every corner. I couldn't put it down! I hope there are more coming! I recommend this book(and this series), to anybody 4th grade and up. I believe for most younger than that the book would be too violent. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.

    snicker9's book review was featured in The Inquisitor's Tale: Or, The Three Magical Children and Their Holy Dog.
    This story is about three children and one dog who have the adventure of a lifetime. Jenna is just a regular pheasant girl-until she starts having visions of the future. After she protects her Gwen, the dog and also a saint, who happened to come back to life after years of death, she is put on the wanted list and goes on the run. Jacob is a Jewish boy who can heal any wound. After some teen thugs set fire onto the Jewish part of town, he goes to try and finding his parents. William is a dark and very large young monk, who has supernatural strength. He sets off to deliver a set of books to another monastery after he is kicked out of his own. When the children meet they join forces, and set off on an incredible adventure, full of danger, nobility, and conflict. This was a very interesting medieval tale. There were so many little details about life during that time period, you could tell the author researched a lot. I also liked that there were relatable problems in the book, even though they were in a different century. Problems dealing with race, prejudice, and religion were throughout the book. I have never read a book like this before. Each chapter was told by a different narrator, and it was told in the sense that the storytellers were at a pub, just sitting around, telling their part. Sometimes it was confusing, if you didn’t pay attention the the title you didn’t know who was speaking. For some people I am sure that it would be pure frustration and they would give up almost immediately. Somehow for me though, it worked. I liked knowing the story from different points of view, and for most of the book they are telling it after it has already happened. I also thought the illustrations were cool. The way the book was formatted was that there were larger margins, and all the drawings were stretched along side the words. Sometimes the pictures made sense, or like the illustrator warns us at the beginning they are random, and are like a doodle book. I recommend this book to older elementary students and middle school students, especially those who enjoy reading about medieval culture. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

    Wakefield was once an ordinary town-that was before the monster apocalypse took place. 42 days ago, the town was hit by waves of zombies, Dozers, Windged Wretches and a lot more monsters. 13-year old Jack Sullivan has been living in his tree-house ever since that day, when his foster family took off without him(he doesn't miss them). He is actually having fun in his tree house. He has armed it with catapults and moats, and has video games and supplies of Oreos and Mountain Dew from nearby abandoned stores. He gets to fight monsters and take action-filled photos just like he always wanted. The only thing is that he wishes he knew where his best friend Quint is, and he wants to rescue his crush June (wherever she is). One day he uses his Walkie, and finds Quint! Quint has been staked out at his own house, and has been busy with science experiments and preparing Big Mama(a super-awesome car), for fighting monsters. Eventually Jack and Quint find an old bully Dirk, and the three team up. But Jack is dedicated to finding June and rescuing the damsel in distress. All the while he has to avoid Blarg, an interestingly smart monster who has it out for Jack. Will he succeed and survive in this new world? The story is told in a mixture of text and black-and-white comic book illustrations that is easy to read and follow along. I really liked the science involved in some of their adventures, like when Quint outfits Big Mama for battle. I recommend this book to elementary and middle school boys. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.
