I don't know this book until my mom borrowed it from the library. It's about a boy that has obsessive-compulsive disorder,so he don't like to go to school or go out because he think that everything is dirty.

Timmy Failure is a detective. He runs Total Failure, Inc. with his pet polar bear. He takes all sorts of cases, and charges 5 cents a day, hoping that it will all add up one day so he can become rich – he already has his eye on a place in town. He uses his mom’s segway to get from case to case, but one day that segway gets stolen by the Evil One: Corrina Corrina. Timmy hates her; she also runs a Detective Agency that is sort of competition, and since her dad has a lot of money, her Agency has its’ home in a fancy building. So Timmy is off to find the segway, ALL while keeping it a secret from his mom. In a comical, humorous story, Pastis kicks off Timmy’s adventures in a lovable book. What I thought about it: I loved Timmy Failure. It was a great story in the format of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, but it was completely different and original. I was very happy that it was not just the “he has problems at school, and he isn’t a lucky person” type of illustration and novel. Stephan Pastis brought a new idea, and school is not the main focus, it’s Timmy’s Detective Agency. Timmy thinks he is the best detective in the world, even though his agency’s space is his mom’s closet. All of the characters were very unique, and thinking about a kid having a pet polar bear is quite out of this world, but yet it works in this book! I think Timmy is in his own little world – it’s him and his detective agency against the Evil One. Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It made me laugh out loud – it was clever and funny at the same time. I can’t wait to read the next book. Thumbs up for Timmy Failure!

In this journey of the 39 clues Amy and Dan has to go and hunt for the 39 clues and has to be prepared really closely that can lead them to an unimaginable power that will lead them by being taken by a heavy toll with them seeing a woman that died, but somehow gets wanted and chased by the Indonesian police and ends up getting trapped on a island with this man knowing everything about their parents of their death, which leaves them facing a tropical storm. Just when they think it can't get any worse but ends up to will since the Cahills have one more rattling skeleton for Amy and Dan to reach the way of discover for the terrible truth about their family branch... I found this book filled with wonder and excitement, connects you through the story leaving u with a rhetorical ending of what will happen next.

This book is actually not bad when I first started reading it but when I start reading it was so interesting filled clues that is why it is called 39 clues. This book is about a girl that is 14 years of age and her younger brother named Dan who goes to Japan trying to find the sword thief the clues was filled with Japanese and they had to try finding the clues themselves they had some help from a girl I think Alistair yeah she helped them about the Japanese clues and to try to find all about the stuff the sword thief than they found a coin that looked like Harry potter thing it was called the philosophers stone and than they found another clue of how it was made and then they think there might be a lie for one of the chosen clues from their uncle. In the end they found the mystery after the sword thief and in the end Amy was very sick she went behind a tree and was terribly sick and the end. This book is funny a lot of secret stuff full with clues between pages and this was the first book I red of 39 clues.

Although the book progresses mostly on a lighter note, “Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer” focuses the spotlight on many taboo subjects for young adult novels. With central topics like feminism, racism, illegal immigration, political outbreaks, drug abuse, and child abuse, John Grisham manages to effectively prod at touchy subjects with so much subtlety within each subplot, that even with lots of murder, smoking, and court cases scattered throughout the plot, through the eyes of thirteen-year-old Theodore Boone, “Kid Lawyer” is surprisingly appropriate. And with all of these dark themes, it comes as no surprise that there is indeed a lot to learn in this book. Each subplot takes the reader into a new and unexplored road, and although a suspenseful cliffhanger is presented towards the end of the book, the author still manages to quietly tie all of these themes up. This results in the reader feeling like they’ve actually read a complete book instead of a book with several different subplots, although that is precisely how it feels while reading it. John Grisham’s “Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer” is many different things. Sometimes it’s a fight for justice, sometimes it’s a heart-wrenching story of family situation infused with drug and child abuse, sometimes it’s a guidebook on the court’s rules, and sometimes it’s about a murder-witnessing illegal immigrant’s unwillingness to provide the town with justice for fear of getting caught in the middle.

The Alcatraz Escape is about Emily and James playing Garrison Griswold's newest game, Unlock the Rock. The game is very challenging and Emily and her friends have to work hard to solve all the puzzles.

The book The Unbreakable Code is about an ancient code that no one has been able to break. In the book, Emily and her friend James work together to try to break it even though there are many danger and threats in the way.

Spy School is a bit cliche, but I think it's still a good book. Ben is a bit insecure and has to prove his worth to his classmates by catching a mole from another organisation, SPYDER. Although the reading level is a bit too easy for me, I still enjoyed the book as it's fast paced and full of action, mystery and adventure. I like the way that the author made the protagonists seem like antagonists at times, so the reader can't be sure about the mole's real identity. We follow Ben as he struggles through the Academy and tries to impress a girl. All in all it's a simple and interesting book to read and spend time on, would probably recommend it to grade 4 or 5 students. Interesting read.
