Dewey Kerrigan doesn’t exactly fit in. She builds radios and gadgets out of junk, and one of her legs is shorter than the other, so she walks funny. But she doesn’t really care. All she needs- and wants- is her father, a brilliant scientist who is off working on some secret government project. So when Dewey finally gets to go live with her father, she is excited, even though no one will tell her where she is going to live. Dewey arrives at the hill, where scientists from all over the country have gathered to work on a top secret government gadget to stop the war. Dewey loves that she is surrounded by geniuses, lives close to the dump for collecting junk, and best of all, lives with her father. And then there’s Suze, who longs to be accepted with other kids at the Hill, and makes fun of Dewey to gain favor. But Suze and Dewey have a lot more in common than they might think, and soon their friendship blossoms. And in the midst of a crisis and sorrow, who better to be there than a friend? I loved the way the author was able to make me feel sympathy for the character’s emotions and situation, and I couldn’t put the book down.About 3 years agonac added a book review.

Another interesting Easter tradition: In the country of Honduras, the people celebrate Samana Santa, which is Spanish for, Holy Week. This the week before Easter. Samana Santa is kind of like a spring break, with a vacation from school and work, and celebrating with family and friends. They end Samana Santa by getting up early to watch the sunrise on Easter morning which signifies the start of the third day and Jesus' resurrection.About 3 years agonac added a new comment in
I really like animals, but adorable animals are 100 times better. And I think my three sisters (and MAYBE my three brothers) would REALLY like this. I'm pretty sure it would make my youngest sister scream, because she does that when she's really excited. Thanks for this opportunity and congratulations to all the future winners (I hope I'm one of them).About 3 years agonac added a new comment in

I have one book from this series and I love it. My siblings and I read it and couldn't put it down. All the clues and puzzles are fascinating. Thanks for hosting this giveaway! (And congratulations to all the future winners, I hope I'm among you!)About 3 years agonac added a book review.
Ever since their mom's death, Sadie and Carter Kane have lived separate lives. Sadie is a cool middle schooler who dyes her hair and lives with her grandparents. Carter is the nerdy kid in a suit who travel the world with his archeologist father. They hardly ever see each other, and have nothing in common. But when a mysterious incident occurs and their father goes missing, Carter and Sadie Kane are thrust into a strange world where magic is real, and the egyptian gods and goddesses are real. Now Carter and Sadie must master their newfound abilities and set off on a wild quest to save their father and stop the end of the world. And along the way, Sadie and Carter may realize that their not so different after all. It's like the egyptian version of Percy Jackson, and any fans of Percy would really enjoy this book. I'd say its an action adventure themed book and probably for ages 10-18, depending on your interests. If you begin this book, you won't be able to put it down (trust me, I know from experience).About 3 years ago
