Princess in black is quite the hit. LOL IT IS SO RAD

Great book about the drug war in the Philippines! This book is about Jay, a 17 year old boy who's about to go to college, but there's some unexpected that happens to him near his spring break-his cousin who lives in the Philippines, Jun (who's also his pen pal), has been murdered because of the president's drug war. Determined to find more about what happened, he travels to the Philippines for a week. There was 1 minor issue with this book. I think that Jay was acting pretty privileged and like he knew everything that was happening around him throughout the beginning and the middle, however he was a good character when the book was coming to an end. 4.5 stars rounded up!

This was a great book about three best friends who are starting their first year of junior high together. They go through some tough times and they always have each other's back. This was a great book to read and I would totally recommend it for girls ages 11-13.

These series (Weird But True) are just AMAZING and FUNNY! They give you information you never knew about and just makes it HILARIOUS!! National Geographic has done a STUNNING JOB at making these books. There educational, funny, filled with jokes, laughter, fun facts and MORE!!! Bravo National Geographic!!!!! 👍👍🤯🤯👏👏🤩🤩

Usually I would rate Nat Geo books 4 stars and above, but for this book I will rate it 3 stars because I was very disappointed in it. So the facts did not appeal to me, only one did. It was, in San Francisco, people call the fog, "Karl." The rest of the facts weren't really interesting. They were just talking about what people did. Like a man ate __ hot dogs in __ seconds. But I want to read about naturey stuff. Real stuff. That is what fascinates me. Not what people do. Because I don't care about records or stuff. I only like animals and historic event facts and etc. Sorry but I did not like this book as much as the other Weird But True books.

I think this is the first classic book that I actually ENJOYED. I read the "kids" version for a book report in 3rd grade and really enjoyed it. The "full" version is even better. I liked how Jack London showed what BUCK thought at the moment since many other books hide the feelings of a dog. Overall, very fun to read. I'd recommend for Grades 5+

Great book for anyone 11 or older! This is a novel about a girl named Jam who lives in a supposed utopia where all the monsters of a city called Lucille have been defeated by angels, who now keep the city safe. However, when a drop of Jam's blood falls on her mother's painting, it releases a creature that calls itself Pet. And Pet comes with a frightening message: there's a monster in Lucille. And she finds something even scarier- the monster is in her best friend's house.

cool!

good book

I'm done with the book. At the beginning it was pretty good but if your looking for a really good mystery, this is not the book you want to get. Abby’s father had bought a stolen horse without knowing. Later a Secret Agency comes requesting it. Yet she has died already, but she did produce a colt that they named Jake. They may have to give up Jake, who is the horse that pulls at Abby’s heart. Yet, I think a lot of it is about Black George. He is a horse that is famous for doing jumping courses with Abbey. Not really the kind of mystery I was looking for but overall it was a good book.
