The Magic Misfits
By Neil Patrick Harris
This is my first post and also a book review I did in my writing class Magic… it’s all tricks and illusions, right? Wrong. Neil Patrick Harris takes us on a journey about learning what magic really is with Carter, a boy who lives with his Uncle Sly who steals from people using magic. Soon, though, uncle Sly is discovered and he and Carter must run away. Carter escapes from Uncle Sly and ends up at the little town of Mineral Wells. There, he meets Leila, Riley, Theo, and the twins, Olly and Izzy. Bosso and his gang are a traveling circus crew. They scam people with fake attractions. Then, they find out Bosso is planning to steal the biggest diamond in the world! The friends hatch an elaborate plan to stop him! This hilarious Realistic Fiction book is great for people who want to expand their reach to a new series. This book was Magic to my eyes in many ways. I loved how this book is really suspenseful. At first; we don’t know much about the protagonist, Carter, and Mr.Vernon was steeped in mystery. It made me ask things, such as“How does he seem connected to Carter?” And “Who is he even?” I thought it was exciting when The Misfits unveiled Bosso’s plans to steal the largest diamond in the world. I found this book humorous, like when Izzy and Olly make little quirks, and comments, and I like how the narrator sometimes pauses and says silly things. Those things were what struck me most out of all the Magic. But there are some things that were less appealing to me in this book. This book is good, but like all books, there were a few things that were not as good as others. Sometimes, the book dragged on or had filler scenes and long parts unrelated to the story. Also, it used some terms I had to find out or look up. Those things I did not like as much as the rest of this book. There are many ups and downs, but I recommend that if you get bored easily, don’t even try this book. But you might want to try it with its neverending comedy, and also it would be good for you if you like adventure stories...I think it is a great book. Most people would like to read The Magic Misfits. This is good for a book report or review because there is a lot of content to write about. Overall, this book was great and very funny. I like all the other books in the series because they have similar content and quality as the first one. Join the magic with Neil Patrick Harris’s Magic Misfits!

The Fairy Tale Detectives (The Sisters Grimm, Book 1)
By Michael Buckley
Ever since Sabrina and Daphne's parent's went missing they have been in and out of foster homes, and now they are being sent to live with a grandma which they never knew they had. It turns out the two sister's are descendants of the Grimm brothers, and that the Grimms have kept magical beings and people in line for centuries, and now the job falls to them. Now they must face giants, fairies, Pixies, and discover who is behind all of the criminal happenings in this small town of Everafters. This book reminded me of the Percy Jackson series the way it put a new twist on fairy tales and the modern world, and it was very interesting and a page turner for sure.
Spy School Revolution
By Stuart Gibbs
Benjamin Ripley is just a regular person. He fight crime, defeats SPYDER (A notorious evil organization), and attends a secret spy school for talented kids. In this book his best friend, Erica Hale, one of the best spys in training in his spy school, is being threatened by the Spanish organization, the Croatoan. They have threatened Erica to kill Ben, or they would kill Ericas' sister, Trixie. Erica fears for her sisters life, but doesn't kill Ben. Instead, she works together with Ben to defeat the Croatoan organization. The book follows the two as they run around DC, looking for clues. I won't spoil the ending, but I will say that this book is well written and amazing. I highly recommend it for all readers. For those who have read the book, I hope that Ben gets back together with Zoe, not Erica. Have a blessed day!

Greystone Secrets #2: The Deceivers
By Margaret Peterson Haddix
I really enjoyed this book! I did not read book 1 because I didn't pay much attention to it but then while I was reading this book a thought hit me, I was reading book 2! This book is about 4 kids Chess, Natalie, Emma, and Finn. ( Chess, Emma, and Finn are siblings) The four kids have to find a way to get into the other world and save their beloved ones. Of course! With the lever! But the four kids have to be very careful because in the other world everyone is evil and no one can trust anyone. My thoughts: I had a hard time with my summary so if you want to know what happens read the book! I was captivated in this book and I really enjoyed it! I think that when you read this book you to will be very engaged with the characters and the plot and the story line! I hope you give this book a try!
