Have you ever looked for a clue but while battling others? Amy and her brother Dan are in Sydney in the beginning of the book and instantly they are faced by an enemy and that changes the book forever. The book is called the 39 Clues : IN TOO DEEP this is pretty ironic because they realize later in the book they realize what big of a bad situation they have got themselves into. The author’s name is Jude Watson and this is so funny because her real name is Judy Blundell. This book is in a series and this specific book is number 6. I don't think it would be necessary to read the books before this because I didn't and I understood everything but I think it would be nice just because then you would have more of an idea of characterization and the build up of personality. The book is basically about Dan and Amy following their parents footsteps and joining in for the chase of the 39 clues. Why, you may ask? Well they were offered a lot of money, or a chase for clues that would give them way more. During the journey they meet some interesting families that are also in the chase. They also meet family members in desperate times of help but little do they know they might be evil. They face deadly challenges and competitors that drive them to find every single clue. During the series they are dragged to many different countries to find different clues but in this book they are in Australia which makes them try new things and their enemies have tricks coming from ancestors with a different culture.This book is very good. I really like it because it keeps the reader engaged at all times. I feel like the reader could have made the characters themselves more interesting instead of the situation because in most parts of the book the situations are so engaging and sometimes even scary which I find great but it would be nicer to have some of those genres and traits in the characters rather than everything around them. But in general I feel like this book has a good hook and climax and it really makes me feel like I am in the scene. This is really good because it makes me imagine and I can dream and dream about what can happen here and there. It is fun to read and I could never get tired of this book because it just is so exciting and different. Overall, I really like this book and I'm pretty sure anyone that likes to read books that have crazy plot twists will really enjoy this book. I feel like this book has a lot of different genres and themes.

The Story of Doctor Dolittle, by Hugh Lofting, teaches about tolerance. Dr. Dollitle is a doctor who can speak animal languages and loves animals, but he has so many animals that his sister left and he became poor. He didn’t mind, though, because he still had his animals. After some time, a swallow came and told the doctor that he needed to cure some monkeys in africa. He didn’t have enough money, but he borrowed a boat and supplies from people who knew that he was a good doctor. After a while, he cured the monkeys and went back home. The animals also showed him the pushmi-pullyu, an animal which has two heads. He earned enough money showing people it that he had enough for a while. I recommend this classical book for boys and girls, grades third to sixth.

This story is about 3 girls, Pauline, Petrova, and Posy, who have to go into show business in order to get money for their guardian. Sylvia, their guardian,'s Great Uncle Mathew, also known as GUM, loved collecting fossils until he hurt his foot so badly that it had to be cut off. Then, he found three children at three different times and Sylvia named them Pauline, Petrova, and Posy. But on a voyage to some islands, Gum disappeared, and the money he left Sylvia is getting smaller. So Sylvia has to take the children out of school and rent the house to boarders. One of the boarders is called Miss Theo, and she's a teacher at the Academy of Dancing. She tells Sylvia that the children can go have classes at the Academy, and when they're twelve, they can earn money! Pauline loves acting at the Academy, Petrova doesn't like it very much, and Posy loves dancing. (Her mother was a dancer who left her a pair of ballet shoes.) But all three of the children vow to try to make themselves famous. But will they be able to do it? And more importantly, will they be able to earn enough money? I'm not really interested in dancing or ballet, but the author's writing style was pretty good.

It's so bad. I think I would rather watch the Duck Tales show than read the books.😡😡😡

Yeah, it's a comic, but I thought it was amazing. I definitely recommend this book.😀😀😆😆😆

It is good because it is sad and happy. I read the book before I watched the movie and I am glad I did because I knew that even though it was sad that it was going to be good at the end. I read this book to my little sister a lot.

Let’s go Percy, let’s go! Let’s go Percy, let’s go! Let’s go--, hello Percy! Ah, The Son of Neptune, I’ve been waiting… The Son of Neptune is the second novel in the Heroes of Olympus series. I’ve read (and enjoyed) the first book, The Lost Hero. (By the way, my review of The Lost Hero is up and running on DogoBooks. Go check it out!) But, we are here to discuss the second novel, so The Lost Hero, get lost again. ***CHARACTERS*** The three main characters in the book are Percy, Frank, and Hazel. One is a kid who forgot his memory, second is a kid who *SPOILER* can turn into animals, and lastly is a girl who *SPOILER* came back from the dead. Wondering how they are best friends? Trust me, I don’t know either. But I love them all the same. PERCY- Was a character that I felt bad for. Imagine forgetting who you are and left without a clue for (I think) eight to nine months. But Percy was a well-written character. He made me laugh and cry the whole time… FRANK- Was hilarious! Frank just summed up my entire life with his clumsiness. He is so funny and sweet, and a really great character. His backstory is so interesting and sad that I couldn’t put done the book with Frank’s chapter. HAZEL- Was so sweet. Her life is so interesting. Hazel was a fragile character deep inside. She had secrets and memories that made her happy. She held on to them even though she lived a horrible (past) life. Oh! I was really happy when *SPOILER* Thanatos (or Pluto) let her live. Thank god(s) that she was allowed to proceed to her new life. That made me very relaxed. ***SETTING*** Camp Jupiter was a really interesting place. Not only did I have to adjust from Camp Half-Blood to Camp Jupiter, but I had to also look up different gods and goddesses that were new to me in Roman form. In conclusion, I loved this book. It was fast paced with action and plot-twists that I couldn’t just stop reading. Five stars from me!

This book was okay, but there were some things I didn't like. It was a bit too short for me, and there wasn't much action or adventure. I think this would be good for younger kids, but it isn't my favorite book. I still liked the animated pictures, though, and that's why I rate The Best of Iggy 3/5 stars.

I haven't been on here in a long time, a long time…. Hi, I came here after checking the SF site after a while (to get OY folding instructions). *Allow me to introduce myself.* You can call me Echo, if you need to call me anything [because sharing my real name on here is a bad idea]. I've read the Origami books since Darth Paper came out when I was in elementary school and still like them, and I'm a very odd freshman now. My favorite character is C-3P0 obviously but I also like Yoda, Old Ben, and a lot of characters including Jocasta, was it? (from the Clone Wars 'Lightsaber Lost') and Chopper. [I actually think Jar-Jar Binks (!) is a little funny.] I am a Master Doodler and I love to read, but really the only thing I've managed to fold was a few Darth Papers (which I lost).But I HAVE created my own SW human, protocol droid, and Wookie characters. My favorite movie is Star Wars and I'm going to see 'The Force Awakens' today (bringing a Origami Yoda with me) but I also really like the Hobbit, book and movie, The Two Towers by J.R.R Tolkien, WondLa, and How to Train Your Dragon, book and movie. Anyways, I have read all the OY books and even been to the Smithsonian myself, as well as 5 Harry Potter books I think and up to the Prisoner of Askaban. (I really like her writing). Oh and I'm moving to Europe from America in a few months. Hamburgers are Plastic Dinosaurs, because everything else is awesome. I agree with Murky on that. May the Force be with you! *hums To The Sky by Owl City* And it would be awesome if there was an Origami Yoda movie… -Xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This book was very good ! You get to know another side of the sarcastic old Mother Goose. One of my favorite parts was the gander part. I thought it was funny. I pretty much liked all of It! It explains some history such as royals, plagues, civil, women and LGBT rights. I also thought it was funny when she found Amelia Earhart. This is a great book to get to know Mother Goose more. It will make you laugh out loud.
