Horton Halfpott: or, The Fiendish Mystery of Smugwick Manor; or, The Loosening of M'Lady Luggertuck's Corset

By Tom Angleberger

Tom Angleberger strikes again! Horton Halfpott is a fun book, it keeps you thinking. After I read Fake Mustache, I thought that Tom Angleberger writes really well, so I picked this book up. It was, like Fake Mustache, awesome! He is very creative in his writing, and I’d read one of his books anytime. The characters in this story are very funny. I’d have to say M’Lady Luggertuck has a very unique personality. Lately, I’ve been choosing books by their covers. So, I looked at who did the cover art and it was Gilbert Ford. Then I looked at the other two books I checked out and it was… GILBERT FORD! I love his artwork. It’s just so unique and quirky the way he draws. And for this book, there were also illustrations of the characters by Tom Angleberger. His drawings are quirky and cool. So, who stole the Luggertuck Lump? Find out in Horton Halfpott!

By Katie Finn

I thought this was a great book! But i defiantly reccomend it to people who are 12 and older because there were some inappropriate parts. So Madison {Mad} is on her school's "Status Q" where you can post a status and talk to other people. So Mad is always updating her status. She's also been put in charge of her school's prom which makes things completely crazy. One day, during viewing the prom room they meet Isabel, who's hosting their rivial school's prom on the floor upstairs from them. Dr. Trent, Mad's principal also gives her an important job: to give the hotel manager the prom queen's crown, which her friend steals and gives to Isabel. So now its up to Mad and her friends: Mark, Sarah, Dave, Glen, Ginger, Brian, Kittson, and Schuyler to save the crown during the prom and without getting caught!

Vanished Books One & Two: When Lightning Strikes; Code Name Cassandra

By Meg Cabot

Jessica Mastriani was just an ordinary girl, but when she gets struck by lightning everything changes. She is now able to locate missing children, but later realizes that not all children want to be found. Then, the "feds" come to her and try to persuade her to come to the supposedly closed 'Crane Military Base'. She later realizes that she needs to help future kidnapped children. So, Rob Wilkins, the grit, breaks her out of the military infirmary. Now they are on the run from the military with no where to turn. She needs to decide if she should hide or keep her new special powers. I like this book because it is very mysterious and suspenseful. Also, it was very relate able because of the different internal and external conflicts that she has to deal with. I could not put the book down. I highly recommend this book.

Black Ice

Black Ice

By Andy Lane

This is a very fantastic novel! We can see how powerful the affection between brothers is. And we can see how brave a boy can be when his dear brother is in dangerous. The Holmes brothers are the main characters in this book. At the beginning of the story, the author arranged very compact plots, Mycroft (Sherlock's older brother) is framed! He has been found with a knife in his hand, and there is a dead man sits beside him. Sherlock believes that his brother is innocent, but how to prove? The author arranged many astonishing plots before Mycroft cleared the charges. Such as murders that occur to Sherlock but didn't success. I consider that the most stimulated plot is the journey to Moscow. In order to find the missing undercover of Mycroft, Sherlock and Mycroft went to Moscow to investigate the truth. And they use fake name to investigate the whole affair. They pretend that they are actors and become a member of a theatrical company. Every members of this troupe is actors and actress! I mean that they are really acting! This is not a real theatrical company, every people in this troupe are the people who framed Mycroft before. The whole book is full of conspiracies and murders. Overall, this is a wonderful novel!
