Thea Stilton and the Mystery on the Orient Express: A Geronimo Stilton Adventure
By Thea Stilton
This book is very good. I have read almost all of the Geronimo Stilton books, and this is better than all of the rest. I recommend this book to kids from age 7-9 because of the reading level and print size.
Whispering Statue
By Carolyn Keene
Another great Nancy Drew book! The answer to the mystery is very clever, and the book is pretty enjoyable. Nancy's father has a client who needs a mystery to be solved. The mystery involves an art seller, that does not seem to be paying people for the books he buys from them. Nancy adopts a disguise and goes down to discover the answer to the mystery.
The Crooked Banister (Nancy Drew Mystery Stories, No. 48)
By Carolyn Keene
I did enjoy this book. However, I feel that I would have enjoyed it more if I had not read other Nancy Drew books previously. The format of the Nancy Drew books are all very similar. There is always more than one mystery that she solves, and despite the fact they don't seem alike at all they always have to do with eachother. Despite this, the substance of each mystery is very different from book to book, and even the same mysteries in one book seem pretty different. Nancy tries to locate the owner of a large house that contains spooky paintings, a creepy robot, and is very crooked. If you want to understand why.. . read the book!
Regarding the Sink: Where, Oh Where, Did Waters Go?
By Kate Klise
Where, oh where did Flo go? Sam N.'s class is back at it again at Geyser Creek Middle School, trying everything they can do to fundraise after their school's sink breaks (and the sink STINKS, too!). They're hoping to use the help of eccentric designer and friend Florence Waters after she helped them on their fountain. But Flo is nowhere to be found! Principal Wally Russ is also short of cash after he sunk all of the school's money for the sink into Rainy-Day Rainwear stocks, which are PLUMMETING after a new technology of irrigation is introduced and endorsed by the newest senator Sue Ergass! But something suspicious is going on, and it's up to Sam N.'s class to save Flo. I encourage anyone to read this comical and super fun book! In the format of different letters sent, newspapers, and illustrations, this book will keep you turning pages! Also, I loved how every single name is a clever play on words... it's so fun to figure them all out! I recommend this book for middle grades, and I would rate it a 4/5 stars!
Breakout
By Kate Messner
Breakout is a story told by notes, letters, text messages, and poems. In this book, Nora Tucker (Main character) thought that she could just swim in the pool and eat popsicles every day because it was summer. But when two inmates break out of Wolf Creek's most high security, everybody is forced to lock every door and window. Before this happened, it was a few weeks before the end of school and it was so close to Field Day. But because of the breakout, it was canceled and had to be substituted by playing games indoors. This book was also made because it was supposed to be made for a time capsule project. Kate Messner has yet again made everything understandable that everyone could feel the intensity rising even though you're just reading a book. I rate this book 5 stars because each page in this book is filled with perspectives and also words that were recorded. I hope you consider reading this book and if so, enjoy it!
