Hello, Mallory (The Baby-Sitters Club, No. 14)

Hello, Mallory (The Baby-Sitters Club, No. 14)

By Ann M. Martin

Mallory is struggling to get into the BSC. They make her do tests that nobody could pass! She makes a new friend, Jessi and wonders if she could just start her own club. I thought this book was okay. it wasn't my favorite, but it was okay. I would highly recommend reading this book instead of skipping to number 15 in the series. It might be a little confusing.

Panic

Panic

By Lauren Oliver

I thought Lauren Oliver's "Panic" was a really good book, even if I feel like it could've been even better if more came of the challenges in the game. The storyline was amazing with great potential and I think readers who fell for "The Hunger Games" trilogy would really enjoy. I thought the characters were really well-developed and worth rooting for. Also, and I know this will probably sound stupid and unimportant, but I actually really liked how the two main characters described in the description on the back did not fall in love with each other. I liked how their relationships weren't automatically with each other simply because they were the two the story mainly focused on. Anyways, the suspense was great and I liked how aspects of the story were touched down on and then brought back in later to influence what happens next. It's like you're told about something so you can read on and think, "Of course! I knew that would make a difference!" Overall, a really good read.

The Fairy Tale Detectives (The Sisters Grimm, Book 1)

The Fairy Tale Detectives (The Sisters Grimm, Book 1)

By Michael Buckley

Ever since Sabrina and Daphne's parent's went missing they have been in and out of foster homes, and now they are being sent to live with a grandma which they never knew they had. It turns out the two sister's are descendants of the Grimm brothers, and that the Grimms have kept magical beings and people in line for centuries, and now the job falls to them. Now they must face giants, fairies, Pixies, and discover who is behind all of the criminal happenings in this small town of Everafters. This book reminded me of the Percy Jackson series the way it put a new twist on fairy tales and the modern world, and it was very interesting and a page turner for sure.

The Story of Tracy Beaker

The Story of Tracy Beaker

By Jacqueline Wilson

This was a very fun book by Jacqueline Wilson. Even though Tracy is very funny though, you can see that she protects herself with her humor, and often lies about her "glamorous" mom coming back for her one day. She says all sorts of things about her mom, like how she travels abroad lots and that's why she never has time for Tracy. You can tell that Tracy is mean to many of the other kids living in her foster home because she's jealous and upset that she can't have what they have, like outings with their parents. I think this book is very good to help kids practice seeing things from someone else's point of view more!

Dandelion Fire: Book 2 of the 100 Cupboards

Dandelion Fire: Book 2 of the 100 Cupboards

By N. D. Wilson

When Henry looks at a dandelion, without blinking, he sees something amazing: the story of the dandelion, green and gold, dying and being born again. But then his hand is touched by lightning. While he is not hurt, except for the tips of his fingers, he is now blind. His aunt and uncle say they will bring him to the hospital in the morning. He realizes that even though he is blind, he can see the scar on his hand, and it is a dandelion. In the night, he is visited in a dream by a man who terrifies him, but may have all the answers. When he is later taken by the man, Darius, he learns he is a seventh son, and he is getting the powers of the dandelion. IF he survives.  And Darius, who is also a seventh son, wants to add Henry's power to his own. Meanwhile, Henrietta, Henry's cousin, is held for ransom by the queen of FitzFaeren, Margaret, who hopes to save her people by reclaiming relics that were stolen many years ago by Henrietta's grandfather, now dead, the first human visitor to FitzFaeren. And the witch of Endor, previously released by Henry, now is attempting to suck the life out of the world Henrietta and her family (not including Henry) are trapped in, including the homeland of Henry and his uncle. Further complicating matters is the fact that Henry's real father and mother are in this world. Will Henry find his way into the world of his birth and discover his parents before it is destroyed? Good for fans of fantasy books where magic is neither all-powerful nor easy (such as Harry Potter, where magic isn't easy, but it is definitely almost all-powerful).
