Scorpia Rising (Alex Rider)

Scorpia Rising (Alex Rider)

By Anthony Horowitz

This was the final book (not counting the prequel) of the Alex Rider series. And I thought it was really, unmeasurably awesome. I liked how the author wrote a beginning of 112 pages without 1 word in Alex's perspective and it had such an amazing plan but for such a minor thing. The main antagonist Razim was even smarter than the Winston Yu man from Snakehead and he was going to set him up. Scorpia was able to record everything that Alex did and then kill him, showing that Great Britain was using a teenage spy and how he got killed in action. This would disgrace the British government so much that nobody would want to work with them. I think that this was an amazing final and I loved how he got totally set up by Scorpia and that they were way ahead of him. It was an unpredictable book and also my favorite of all of the Alex Rider series because of it's intensity.

Swagger

Swagger

By Carl Deuker

The book I read is called"Swagger" by Carl Deuker and it is really good! The settings in this book are at the basketball court, at Jonas's house and at school. Jonas was the main character in the story and he loves to play basketball. His position is point guard, he gets requested to go to college because of his basketball skills. He doesn't know that his coach is weird and makes one of his students do some weird things. The turning point in the book is when he knows that his dad is getting better from a work injury, because he really cares for his dad. The antagonist in the book is Hartwell because he is the bad guy in the book who does bad things to Jonas's best friend Levi. The protagonist is Jonas because he is the main character of the book and he has to deal with a lot of things in his life like his dad getting hurt and his friend Levi that he has to deal with. I recommend this book to 7th grade and up because it has some harder words to read. I hope you liked this review and read this book.

ghostgirl

ghostgirl

By Tonya Hurley

All Charlotte wants is to be liked. She is a social outcast that is desperate for someone, anyone to at least notice her. Throw in Charlotte's crush, a gummy bear, Physics class, and that's the end of Charlotte as we know it, literally. At the end of Physics class, Charlotte unbelievably chokes on a gummy bear just when Damien her crush, actually notices her. Tragic, isn't it? Well, she ends up in "DeadEd", a class for dead students to "graduate" which simply means to move on. This book is an amazing story of the constant struggle for popularity, and the lengths we'll go to achieve that. Hurley's debut novel really amazed me. It seemed really ironic in the beginning, but as the story progressed I became more engrossed with the story. I love the illustrations, and especially the cover. The story was actually really thought-provoking with a dark twist. Overall, I really liked it, and I can't wait to read the whole series. Lastly, I think this is quite a mature read so I would recommend this to 14+. ~ifeelbookish

Find out by reading Shiver, which I give 5 stars. I recommend this book to whoever loves a good read that you won't be able to put down.

Never Say Die (Alex Rider)

Never Say Die (Alex Rider)

By Anthony Horowitz

I recently finished the book, and I thought "Never Say Die" was amazing! With a new plot and mystery with every word it will keep you reading past your bedtime. Like all the Alex Rider books, Alex is pushed into working with MI6 again, resilient as always Alex disobeys Mrs.Jones orders and goes on his own mission, to rescue Jack. With new villains/antagonists and dangers this is my 3rd favorite Alex Rider book in the series. I give this book 5/5 stars, and recommend it for kids 10+. You should read the other books in the series to understand the plots in the new book. More thrills and action this new addition to the series will not leave you disappointed! My favourite Alex Rider book is Point Blanc. I hope you enjoy the "Never Say Die" book as much as I did! (PS. FOR ALL YOU DIE HARD ALEX RIDER FANS I HAVE A THEORY THE NEXT INSTALMENT WILL BE "NIGHTSHADE") Your fellow bean_boy12

The Sorceress: Book 3 (The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel)

The Sorceress: Book 3 (The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel)

By Michael Scott

The third book in Michael Scott's "Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel" series, The Sorceress, kicks the action up to a whole new level. Adding to the series' menagerie of immortal humans ("humani") and mythological beasts, the book picks up where The Magician left off: the immortal Nicholas Flamel (of The Alchemyst) and the twins, Sophie and Josh, have just arrived at St. Pancras international train station in London. Almost immediately, they're confronted with a demonic bounty hunter that immortal magician John Dee has sent their way. At the same time, Dee's occasional cohort, Niccolo Machiavelli, decides to focus his energy on Perenelle Flamel, the Alchemyst's wife, who has been imprisoned at Alcatraz since the beginning of the series. In this book, Perenelle gets a chance to show off her sorcery and resourcefulness, fighting and forging alliances with ghosts, beasts, and the occasional Elder to try and find a way out of her predicament and back to Flamel. Scott is as playful as ever, introducing new immortals--famous figures from history who (surprise!) are still alive. He also adds to the roster of fantastical beasts, which already includes such intriguing foes as Bastet, the Egyptian cat goddess, and the Morrigan, or Crow Goddess. Raising the stakes with each installment, Scott deftly manages multiple story lines and keeps everything moving pretty quickly, making this third book a real page-turner. More than just another piece in the puzzle of the whole series, The Sorceress is an adventure in its own right, and will certainly leave series fans wanting more.
