Emily's Fortune

Emily's Fortune

By Phyllis Reynolds Naylor

I really liked this book because it was full of adventure. Emily's mother died and she is an orphan (how sad) and her cruel uncle victor is her only relative. But she isn't just going to give up.... in fact, she meets an boy named Jackson. READ THE BOOK!

Knightley and Son

Knightley and Son

By Rohan Gavin

The once highly in-demand detective Alan Knightley has just woken up after an unexplained incident kept him asleep for four years. While he was out cold, his son, Darkus, took it upon himself to read of all his dad's old cases, and he's learned a lot about the art of detection. It's a good thing too—because suddenly the duo find themselves caught up in a crazy conspiracy that involves a group of villainous masterminds (who keep appearing and then vanishing), some high-speed car chases (that will have everyone fastening their seat belts), and a national, bestselling book with the power to make people do terrible, terrible things. But because Alan is still suffering the effects of his coma, he tends to, well, fall asleep at the worst possible moments, Meaning that young Darkus might just have to solve this mystery . . . by himself.

Nick and Tesla's Solar-Powered Showdown: A Mystery with Sun-Powered Gadgets You Can Build Yourself

Nick and Tesla's Solar-Powered Showdown: A Mystery with Sun-Powered Gadgets You Can Build Yourself

By Bob Pflugfelder, Steve Hockensmith

Beware: You'll immediately be wanting to do these DIY projects enlisted in the book below. So Nick and Tesla literally did the impossible... and I mean what else is next??? Am I right... well they need to find their parents, whom have been quite absent throughout the first couple of books, but the thing is they have no idea where their parents are located.... DUN DUN DUNNNNNN... now I just wrote the intro and it already has a cliff hanger... yes believe me... you'll find Nick and Tesla's parents... but we first need your wits in order to read this book and get inside this adventure with them... I loved how the author incorporated facts that have to do with the real world of science... and the DIY's were awesome... On Youtube, I'm always awed at what others can do when they post DIY videos... but there's only one problem... I rarely make anything... however when I read this book I was enhanced by the different technology that this setting was placed and you could make a secret listening device, a hot dog cooker, and much more... the hot dog cooker is such a creative mechanism that is on my To Do List... Now I'm a little off topic... however... I really loved this fast read... One word of advice... remember all characters even though they might seem foreign especially (SPOILERS) a specific agent... Sorry I had to... But people who are amazed in our technology and wants to invest in our technology world... because you never know... our world (later in 2050-3000) might turn into a set in Nick and Tesla's book series... so hope you enjoy!

Andi Under Pressure (An Andi Boggs Novel)

Andi Under Pressure (An Andi Boggs Novel)

By Amanda Flower

In the beginning, I found it quite boring, but I never quit on books and lucky for me, I didn't stop because this was a real adventure. Twelve-year-old Andora ‘Andi’ Boggs and her new best friend Colin Carter couldn’t be more excited to attend the prestigious science camp at the local university in Killdeer, Ohio. Unfortunately, Discovery Camp’s curriculum appears to include much more than just chemistry and biology. From day one, the university is plagued by a series of pranks—missing markers, loose crickets, and stolen scales. Campus security blames the mysterious janitor Polk, but even though Andi agrees he’s acting suspicious, she can’t believe the gentle old man would do anything illegal. Then one prank goes too far and their chemistry professor is injured by an explosion in the lab, upping the stakes of the investigation. Andi and Colin must unravel the secrets behind the chemistry department and figure out the culprit.

The Luck of the Buttons

The Luck of the Buttons

By Anne Ylvisaker

The Luck of the Buttons is about a young girl namesTugs Button. Her family is famous for the fact that they are simply not lucky. But then things keep going Tugs' way, and she is determined to be different from her family members. Then a stranger shows up, charming everyone with his desire to open a newspaper to the town. Then he starts collecting money in order to start his business. But Tugs is suspicious. Is Moore who he says he is? Will he take advantage of her town? This is a charming historical fiction book set in 1929, in a small Mid-West town. I would recommend it for any age group. However, the story is slow-paced and younger children might not enjoy the book as much. Also, since this book is set in the past, some younger people may not know certain terms, or the way life was back then. However, I found this book delightful, and am excited to read the rest of the series.

The Boy on Cinnamon Street

The Boy on Cinnamon Street

By Phoebe Stone

I read it two times and I don't really get it, but anyhow, I really like the book. I don't know why Henderson didn't tell Louise that he liked her.

Ophelia and the Marvelous Boy

Ophelia and the Marvelous Boy

By Karen Foxlee

Warning this review may contain spoilers! Ophelia finds this magical boy locked inside a room in a museum and agrees to help him with magical a quest. What I thought of it: Well, I read it awhile ago so I don't remember it very well. I do remember that everything that was supposed to be a "secret' or what not was pretty obvious. I knew from the start that the museum lady was the Snow Queen. I also figured that Ophelia was the special person (I can't remember the name they used at this exact moment). Also, I quickly figured out that Alice was going to be put into the machine. So yeah, everything was obvious. Also Ophelia was just plain annoying. She just went around saying that she didn't believe in magic because she was too smart to believe in magic. Well honestly, she wasn't that smart. She just came off as snotty. And she was boring too. The author tried to make her seem quirky and what not, but all that she did was take her inhaler. She literally took it like 4 times a day. The author must of not done much research because once you take your inhaler, you're supposed to wait 4 to 6 hours before taking it again. And this book wasn't very well written. Also, I was disappointed that we never learned the Marvelous Boy's name. Overall, it was boring and predicable. I've read a lot of books that were just like it.
