Thea Stilton and the Dancing Shadows: A Geronimo Stilton Adventure

Thea Stilton and the Dancing Shadows: A Geronimo Stilton Adventure

By Thea Stilton

Yet another beautifully-written-and- illustrated Thea Stilton book! In this novel, the Thea Sisters travel to Italy to attend a famous ballet competition. Everything seems fun and games at first, but the sisters soon begin to tread across dangerous waters. A popular Italian dance studio seems to be bribing the judges! Clearly, their dancers are less than subpar because of slacking off in class, but how does that explain how they still manage to get that first-place prize? Meanwhile, an innocent self-taught dancer has ten times the talent anyone in the sketchy dance studio has, but the competition judge adamantly discriminates against self-taught dancers. Can the Thea Sisters stop the scheming and bias, and help the dancers into the winning positions they belong in?

Curse of the Arctic Star (Nancy Drew Diaries)

By Carolyn Keene

This book was off the hook! My sister read it and I thought, "Oh. I'm probably not gonna read that." But it was great! It is about how Nancy and her friends go on a cruise and end up tangled in a mystery! There is a "body" in the pool, a falling chandelier and a falling moose antler that almost crushes Nancy! I'd love to share more, but I don't want to spoil it. Hope you read it!

Lion Down (FunJungle)

Lion Down (FunJungle)

By Stuart Gibbs

Did you know that we kill more mountain lions than they kill us? Most of this is because humans cut down trees, which leaves many lions without a home. A well-known celebrity has accused a mountain lion of killing his dog! The mountain lion's name is Rocket, and it might be on FunJungle property! Teddy Fitzroy, who solved many mysteries at FunJungle, is asked to investigate by Lily Deakin, Doc's daughter. After looking at the evidence, Teddy knows that Rocket couldn't have killed the dog. But who did? I didn't really like this book as much as I did the other ones because Teddy doesn't get into as much danger. Animal lovers will like this book.

Panda-monium (FunJungle)

Panda-monium (FunJungle)

By Stuart Gibbs

This is the third book in the FunJungle series by Stuart Gibbs. In this book, Teddy is told not to investigate a crime, but of course, he does anyway. This time, FunJungle's veterinarian and their new panda were kidnapped. Supposedly, from a moving truck that was bringing the panda to FunJungle. Since the panda was being rented from China and it wasn't actually their property, they had to get the FBI involved. Large Marge turns around and decides to be nice to Teddy, because she wants to show up her sister Molly who is in charge of the FBI investigation. Like in every other Stuart Gibbs book, the main character, who is a kid, turns out to be smarter than every other adult in the story whose job it actually is to solve the case. I think this plot gets pretty old when it is repeated over and over, just in different scenarios. Overall, it was not my favorite book, but still a fun read.
