The Dead of Night (The 39 Clues: Cahills vs. Vespers, Book 3)

By Peter Lerangis

Mark rosenbloom can NOT be Vesper One. I wont go into ALL the details, but remember Mycintire was stabbed with a hypodermic needle, and right before was all like, "YOU!!!" So it was obviously a familiar face, (maybe Amy and Dan's dad, Arthur Trent because he was angry that Grace's and Hope's lawyer didn't, like, testify for the terrible fire that gulped up his wife, Hope?) Also, Vesper One has a nasty scar on his arm from a "Cahill event", (maybe the fire??!) Also , he sent Dan messages on the special phone, so he must be in, like, a Vesper position with great authority. He sent, "SUSPEND JUDGMENT", maybe cause he knew his kids saw the Vespers unbeleivably evil, but he didn't want them to think that of their own father? And, "The whole story is more complex than it's parts", (What could be more complex than thinking your own father wandered to the dark side, but he thinks he has a good reason? Also, he was in the Vespers before he married Hope, so it wouldn't be too hard to get back in See who I'm pointing at here??

Dizzy

Dizzy

By Cathy Cassidy

I love this book. My sister made me read it and I'm glad she did. The book is about a girl named Dizzy. Who has a totally normal life until her Storm shows up. (Storm is Dizzy's mom.) Storm takes Dizzy on the road with her. At first Dizzy doesn't like being a hippie like her mom. But after a while she likes not having responsibilities. She is reunited with her friend Fin. This book is a great book for 4th-6th grade.

Indigo Blue

This book was alright, defiantly not bad and defiantly not great. At a lot of parts, it was boring and predictable, there was some twists and interesting moments. But, in general it was kinda basic, the plot was pretty frustrating and hard to get in to, there was no real character development, and overall it was just your average family drama book. I would recommend this for beginning readers (kids in elementary school) But overall, it was not too bad but the ending just seemed so fast. Anyways, THANKS FOR READING!!! :)

I really enjoyed this story! I loved reading about Molly’s dog Bennett, and how she wanted to treat him as if he was still a puppy. It was nice when Molly and her brother finally decided to take care of Bennet together.

Wishing Day

Wishing Day

By Lauren Myracle

This was a very interesting book by Lauren Myracle. I wasn't sure if it was going to be my style of book or not, and it wasn't, but I still liked it a lot! It is a half mystery and half fantasy book, and I really liked it. Natasha Blok lives in an interesting and different town which is blanketed in magic, but not everyone believes in it. The tradition goes like this, on the third night of the third month after a girls thirteenth birthday, they get to make three wishes, the first wish is an impossible wish, the second is a wish she can make come true herself, and the last and final wish is the deepest wish of her secret heart. Natasha wants to believe in this magical tradition that her great, great.... (I am not exactly sure how many greats).....grandmother started, but is not sure if she should. Now, she ends up making her three wishes and mysterious things start happening, including notes that she isn't sure who they are coming from, an eccentric old lady, and crushes (though not exactly who she was expecting). The book gets only partly wrapped up in the end and you have to read the next book to find out what happens. I loved this book because it was very easy to relate to and I think that this book is a great read for middle school girls.

The Forgetting Spell (Wishing Day)

The Forgetting Spell (Wishing Day)

By Lauren Myracle

This is the second book in the wishing day trilogy and it is told in Darya's perspective. I really liked the first book and it ended in a cliffhanger which is why I decided to read the second book. I definitely liked the first book way better than this one. In "The Forgetting Spell" I felt like the same things were just happening over and over but in different ways. The story also moved along really slowly and I felt like most of it was just Darya being mad or feeling sorry for herself. The main character Darya does not model good behavior at all, and I understand that she might be acting this way because of the situation she is in, but she takes her anger and frustration out on the people that love her the most. Most of the book was this happening again and again, and I didn't really get what the plot was. I felt that this book was a bit unnecessary, and the series would have been better if it just went from the first book to the third book with a little modification. Overall, it was an okay book and just wasn't my favorite from this author. I liked the first book better and I am reading the third book currently and it is pretty good. All of this is just my opinion and I think the book was still written really well, it was just that the story and plot line didn't hit the mark for me.
