I'm not a big astronomy person, but this book was interesting! It was humorous, yet informational. If you want to know more about the cosmos, but don't want a LOOOONG boring book, this book is for you! Happy reading!

The town of Fry is a magical place located in Logan County. Strange animals live there and weird things happen at Fry. Otto and. Sheed, the town's adventurers, have survived many dangerous adventures in Logan County. But can they make it out of this one alive? One day, on the last day of summer, Otto and Shee go onto Harkness Hill to discuss ideas for adventures. Suddenly, a stranger appears and presents them with a camera. They take a picture, but soon, all of Fry is frozen in time. Who is this villain? And more importantly, how can Otto and Sheed unfreeze Logan County. This book was great, but the time travel sometimes didn't make much sense.

Aiden plays soccer on the Thunder team with his friend Daniel, and they are bound and determined to win the trophy this year. When they go to the library with Aiden's twin sister Ava to get copies of Wharton's The Age of Innocence for school, they learn from the librarian that the trophy is question is a replacement, the original one having been stolen from the library forty years previously. The mystery was never solved, and since the twins' grandmother had been a librarian at that time, they decide to investigate. Their grandmother is 84, and her memory is not the best, but she does give them a few clues. They interview the police chief at the time, who is very helpful and interested, as well as the soccer coach, who is not. Daniel mentions that this is not the first missing soccer trophy, and the trio delve into the story of the disappearance of the World Cup trophy in 1983, which has never been solved. When the solution to the mystery ends up being closer to home than they ever imagined, how will they handle it? Strengths: They are short, strong enough on sports details that I don't quite understand some of them (which is a GOOD thing), and have characters who work really well together. Adding an element of mystery to this is perfect, and a great way to let fans of early chapter book mysteries like Ron Roy's or David A. Kelly's Ballpark Mysteries challenge themselves a bit. The retro cover is attractive, and different from the regular sports books, and there's a bit more sports history than Bowen usually has, which is interesting, but the girl power message remains strong. I'm curious to see if Aiden and Ava get to do more investigation. Weaknesses: Bowen hasn't written much in the way of mysteries, so there are a few clunky moments when the kids decide to investigate that could have been avoided. The slight Encyclopedia Brown vibe will work well with younger students, but older ones who love mysteries will expect a more serious mystery. Think Souders' Coop Knows the Scoop-- it's a historical MURDER mystery. It was a bit unnerving when the kids went to visit the former police chief and he just invited them into his house to chat. Sure, Encyclopedia would have done that, but that seems like a bad idea in 2021. What I really think: Sports books are always super popular in my library, and Bowen's books see high circulation. It's good to see that Bowen made it to first base with this book, but it wasn't quite a home run.

I. Hate. Dovepaw. Even if I sympathize with her for having such a huge destiny, she came off as quite whiny, and not a likeable character ( This is only my opinion. If you life Dovepaw, that's okay. Everyone has different opinions, and I am just sharing mine ) . Jayfeather was great, Lionblaze was meh, even though Ivypaw was a bit annoying, I sympathize with her, I liked Whitetail, Sedgewhisker, Petalfur, and Rippletail, I didn't care about Toadfoot, and Tigerheart just annoyed me. He acts like a kit. I am not a huge fan of books where all cats do is travel. Those three kittypets and Woody came off as quite oblivious and annoying. But Jayfeather's parts were cool, the beaver fight was invigorating, it ended on a cliff hanger, and it is home to one off the best quotes in Warrior Cat history. " Who are you, and what have you done with Blackstar?" 😂 3.5/5.

I received this set for Christmas, and I'm so happy to have read the set! This book is based on both fiction and nonfiction information. For the fact that Count Olaf and Dr. Montgomery Mongomery are both real people, they aren't the only ones. So many others are! Sunny, Violet and Klaus Baudelaire escaped the clutches of Olaf, who was in various disguises. Lemony Snicket actually mentioned his sister In this amazing series, and also puts the meaning of words and his connections to his story. As Lemony always says in the series, the book is miserable, horrifying, and never has a good ending :)

this book is good for people that like a advancher and that likes the author KWAME MBALIA I like this book because Its funey the book made me fell calm and it made me like the book more the them is teamwork

This was a great book to read, and I mean REALLY great. It may be old, but it has all the good things of an everyday mystery books!

Rafe Khatchadorian gets into trouble again. In the second book, Middle School Get Me Out Of Here written by James Patterson and Chris Tebbetts, Rafe and his family move in with their granny. Rafe is going into 7th grade and his mother sets up an interview for Rafe at Cathedral School of the Arts. When Rafe, the protagonist, is admitted into the art school, he soon meets Zeke, the antagonist in the story. Zeke is also in 7th grade and spends his time making fun of Rafe. Rafe does a self portrait and the entire class critiques each other’s work. In the first conflict, Zeke and his friend, Kenny, are very critical of Rafe’s self portrait. The second conflict happened when Rafe and his friend, Matty, decided to steal Zeke and Kenny’s art projects. He does get suspended and had to apologize to Zeke for destroying his art project. The turning point is when his mom gets a job. I recommend this book to the 8th grade level. Some high school students may enjoy the characters and the dangers they come across.

I recommend this book bc it shows you how these girl work so hard maybe a little to hard but just to be a famous singer they may had some ups and downs but they pulled them selves back together and with a little practice and the help of their moms everything is cheetah lishes
