Court of Fives
By Kate Elliott
It is soooooo good! I devoured it from start to finish. The main character, Jes, is a patron who sneaks out when her dad isn't home to train for a complicated athletic game called The Fives. The very day that she is entered in the competition, her dad comes home and anounces that she and her sisters are going to watch The Fives with him. Jes is a very adventurous and not affectionate character who cares deeply for her family and possible enemy Lord Kalliarkos. There is a pinch of romance, a dash if creepiness, and a whole load of danger. I would recommend this book for middle or high schoolers who can stomach the mom birthing a baby near the end (there weren't a whole lot of details, so it was fine). I loved this book and I'm sure that you will, too.

But when the young mountain guide war s them not to tell scary stories under a full moon everyone goes on ahead....what could go wrong. This book is full of twist & turns.

Jake and Lily were twins born on a train. Each year, on their birthday, they wake up at the train station at 3:00 a.m. in their pajamas, and they sleepwalk there.

It's a twin thing. / Example: Lily chases after a ball into the road, suddenly, she hears Jack cry, "STOP!" right before a car comes zooming by. She's saved, but Jack was really all the way across town at the dentist office the whole time. / Lily becomes too obsessed/attached with the whole twin thing and wants it too keep going. But soon, Jack changes and doesn't want to spend time with her anymore. Will Jack ever come to his senses? U'll hafta read the rest to find out... :)
North of Nowhere
By Liz Kessler
I thought this book was fresh and an exciting read. I want to say thank you DOGO for sending me this amazing book. A long time ago I read another book by Liz Kessler called A Year Without Autumn... I thought they both connected and related in some way...which I think Liz Kessler has a talented way for writing about fantasy, adventures, and time traveling of course. It's about a girl named Amelia, but she likes it Mia... she finds out her Grandad is missing, but at the same time she meets Dee (by a private diary), who talks about harsh weather in her island. But Mia doesn't see any storms at all! She meets another friend named Peter who disappeared, and her (Peter's) sister, Sal, is nervous about finding Peter, but is now friends with Mia. Later they uncover the secret meaning of truth and what happened to Luffsands. With help by a unique compass that plays a significant role in the story. Also in different chapters they're different perspectives, that gives you more of the details. Will they uncover the secret, that hid the truth about their family? Will they find Mia's Grandad and Peter? It's up to you to read and find out. Also one more thing after you read this amazing book, North of Nowhere, and if you enjoy it, you might want to read A Year Without Autumn. I'm just telling you both stories had a signifiant plot, character, fantasy, and time traveling... you should READ IT!!!!!
