Attack of the Bandit Cats (Geronimo Stilton)

Attack of the Bandit Cats (Geronimo Stilton)

By Geronimo Stilton

Attack of the Bandit Cats is another amazing book of the adventure of Geronimo Stilton. Everything that happens is extraordinary. Stilton finds his way to join his sister and Trap into a journey to an island. When the book could've been normal, Elisabetta really put some thought when he goes into a new adventure- a do or die one. He gets captured by some cats, and it is time that will tell if he will escape or be part of the soup.

Children of the Red King #1: Midnight for Charlie Bone

Children of the Red King #1: Midnight for Charlie Bone

By Jenny Nimmo

The book has a very "Harry Potter" feel to it. A boy with a special ability is sent to a magical school. When my friend first introduced this series to me, it didn't look very exciting. But remember, don't judge a book by it's cover! I was hooked by the end of the first few chapters and read up to Charlie Bone and the Red King. Overall, THIS IS A GREAT BOOK!!

Cirque Du Freak #2: The Vampire's Assistant: Book 2 in the Saga of Darren Shan (Cirque Du Freak: Saga of Darren Shan)

Cirque Du Freak #2: The Vampire's Assistant: Book 2 in the Saga of Darren Shan (Cirque Du Freak: Saga of Darren Shan)

By Darren Shan

Have you ever wondered what life at a freak show would be, or how would life be if you had to go against your morals just to survive? Well in the book i’m reviewing it is called Cirque Du Freak:The Vampire’s Assistant it is by: Darren Shan in the last book Darren the protagonist just got turned into a half vampire to save his best friend steve. While the antagonist is R.V (or reggie) because he freed the wolfman that got Darren’s new friend killed. The book has no certain time period although it can be inferred that it takes place in the late 90’s or early 2000’s also the setting jumps around a lot seeing how they are on the move for the good portion of the book but it does take place in a field, a small campsite and a train station (also a couple farms). One major conflict is when R.V releases the wolfman and it killed sam and a few freaks. The second major conflict faced throughout the book is that Darren does not want to drink human blood even if it means he will die. The turning point is when Darren drinks the blood of his fallen friend to save the memories that would be lost. I would recommend this book to people who like long series and books that are a bit more grown up, this book is more for 6th graders or older.

Among the Barons (Shadow Children)

Torn (The Missing)

Torn (The Missing)

By Margaret Peterson Haddix

The fourth book in The Missing; Jonah and Katherine are sent to 1611 to fix (and save) the year 1600. Jonah is supposed to act like John Hudson, Henry Hudson’s son on his ship The Discovery. With a futuristic exact John Hudson costume being worn by Jonah, he is the perfect John Hudson and Katherine is invisible. With a planned mutiny of Henry Hudson onboard, Jonah and Katherine need to figure out how to save history. Henry Hudson surrenders to the mutineers and agrees to go on a shallop with a few other shipmates to find the Northwest Passage. After they narrowly escape an iceberg, they see the ship coming back for them from the south when it was headed North. Then they spot the Northwest Passage. Second is at the helm and changing history up. So, after Jonah is put in the stocks and they find out one of the men is Second, they go back in time to where they were in the shallop trying to make things right and not be forced by Second’s hand. Will history fall apart, or will they succeed in making things right? What I thought about it Margaret Peterson Haddix is a wonderful author. She writes books in a way that you can see what’s happening clearly with your imagination. I discovered her from Into The Gauntlet, the tenth 39 Clues book. Then I read Found and Sent and loved those so I said, “Why not continue the series?” So I did with Sabotaged and Torn. It took me a long time to read both of them and I was actually anxious to finish and get on with another book. Sabotaged in my opinion was pretty confusing in some parts; I liked it, but there are so many things happening, that at one point it just confuses you. I had similar feelings with Torn, but it was slow-paced and didn’t have enough action. I have started reading the next one and I hope it will be better. I was sort of disappointed that Haddix made me want to finish to read something else. I hope she redeems herself with some other good books in the series.

Sabotaged (The Missing, Book 3)

Sabotaged (The Missing, Book 3)

By Margaret Peterson Haddix

I really loved this book because I'm really interested in science fiction. Before I read book 1, Found, I thought I wouldn't like the series. But now after I read book 1, I started reading all of the other books. Now I waiting for book, I think 7 or 8 to come out and I'm really excited

Caught (The Missing)

Caught (The Missing)

By Margaret Peterson Haddix

When time freezes in Jonah’s 7th grade science class, he knows something’s wrong. Five minutes later, Jonah and Katherine are speeding through time. They are in the year 1903, right next to Albert and Mileva Einstein themselves. When Mileva sees the Elucidator floating in thin air, she grabs it and shoves it in her pocket. She goes on a long journey to see her eighteen-month old child, Lieserl with Jonah and Katherine following her, and she realizes that they are there. They have gotten caught. With Mileva now having the knowledge of time-travel, will Jonah and Katherine be able to save history? And with a thirteen year old Lieserl in place of the eighteen-month old one, will they be able to keep Lieserl secret, and Mileva’s mouth shut? In an epic pageturner with shocking information revealed, Will history be in ruins, or will they be able to save the mess they made? What I thought about it: I did not want to read Caught. After I read Torn, I did not want to continue the series. But, I wanted to give Margaret Peterson Haddix another chance, so I continued the series. And I’m glad I did. I really enjoyed Caught. It might’ve been because it involved the Einsteins, and it was cool reading about their early life, as well as their later life in the Author’s Note. I love the Author’s Note in all of the books, it just gives you the fascinating history behind the story. I also really like the idea of time freezing; it sounds like a made-up thing, but this book makes it seem real. Then there’s the part where Mileva sees her daughter eleven years older than she was a second before. Imagine that happening to you; I think you would at least have a heart attack. There are so many interesting concepts in this book that it makes you think. Haddix is a very great author and I am glad she has redeemed herself with this novel that is hard to stop reading. So, find out if history collapses and read this book!
