Fish Girl
By David Wiesner, Donna Jo Napoli
She's never been outside the fish tank. She's never known where she came from. She's never been fully seen by a human except for Titan. She's never looked deeper into the words of Titan, her master and the owner of the boardwalk aquarium. And she's never been called anything but "Fish Girl..." Until a human girl fully sees her one day and they become friends. The girl shows the mermaid the ways of the humans and teaches her. The mermaid is compelled toward the human world and fights against her bonds until they break. Forever. This is an amazing graphic novel and I loved reading it. It really inspires friendship, courage and trust in the unknown!
Midnight (Warriors: The New Prophecy, Book 1)
By Erin Hunter
This book was a good start to the second arc of the Warrior Cats series.The premise is that the forest is being destroyed by Twolegs so Starclan chooses six cats to find a place where the forest cats can live in after the forest has been destroyed. Brambleclaw,the protagonist ,along with 5 other cats on a quest to find a new home before it's too late. Brambleclaw is the worst character in this arc so far.He's so bland and uninteresting.All the other cats were fine but I especially like Squirrelpaw's character.She's so arrogant and and cocky and she ends up growing a bit in this book.The action is amazing and I really enjoy the perspective of Leafpaw and helps you know about what's happening in the forest after the six cats left on their journey.I really wish that this book had been in the perspective of Crowpaw because we get to take a break from Thunderclan and new and interesting characters could be established instead of characters in Thunderclan we've met.Overall,I give this book 4 stars
Starlight (Warriors: The New Prophecy)
By Erin Hunter
The Clans have finally arrived in their new home and now they must establish territories
Copper Sun
undefined
The other day my friend said that the topic of slavery has been overwritten. Personally I believe that stories of slavery, the Holocaust, and all other things like this have to be written until they stop. Until nothing like it ever happens again, and guess what they happen every day for example Kony 2012. Sharon M. Draper does an excellent job of capturing the horror of slavery and the corruption of that time.
The Screaming Staircase (Lockwood & Co)
By Jonathan Stroud
Around fifty years ago, the Problem occurred in London. Ghosts and other paranormals have appeared in England with the horrifying ability to torture and kill you. And yet the only people able to sense them and act are children and teens. Say goodbye to being a child and hello to growing up fast. A number of Psychic Agencies have appeared over the last few decades, dedicated to ridding people of the Problem. Lucy, a strong, willful and talented agent comes to London in search of a better job and a better future. But she is denied and instead finds herself accepting a job in the tiniest, most ramshackle agency there is. When their cases go horribly wrong and they run incredibly low on money, they are faced with one chance to redeem themselves: spend a night in the most haunted house in England and come out alive after ridding it of ghosts. And perhaps, for more publicity and the sake of doing good - figure out the reason behind a hidden dead body and the secret of the mansion. This is absolutely one of the best books I’ve read. Although it seems like a horror story, it is written in a way that is scary, suspenseful, witty, but light enough not to give you nightmares. One of the reasons I like it so much is because it is a good all-around story, it has the themes of family, friendship and camaraderie. It’s also got the touch of medieval English culture. I would recommend this book to everybody - it’s that great.
Plants vs. Zombies Volume 2: Timepocalypse
By Paul Tobin
Once again, this famous book is from Plants vs Zombies gameplay, and it is funny and not very history accurate. The evil zombieboss, Dr. Zomboss, is wrecking havoc across the timeline. Genius inventor (and plant general) Uncle Dave helpes his niece, Patrice, and her friend, Nate Timely, defend the ages from crumbling to the zombies. Will very please young readers, and will be funny. But DO NOT USE THIS FOR YOUR HISTORY REPORT, or you will get in a lot of trouble.

Once Upon a Dream: A Twisted Tale

Middle School Bites
By Steven Banks
You've gotten bit by a mosquito before, right? So annoying! But that's NOTHING compared to eleven-year-old Tom. He got bit by a BAT, a WEREWOLF, and... a ZOMBIE?!? And right before the start of middle school, too! Tom was so ready to have a relaxed first day of middle school, one in which he could just blend in to avoid being noticed by anyone but his best friend Zeke, and his crush, Annie. But walking into middle school as a VAM-WOLF-ZOM?? It was going to be a crazy year, that's for sure. All of Tom's senses sharpen, especially his smell and night vision, he develops sharp vampire teeth, and even becomes a werewolf on full moons! And he seems to be developing a tasting for super-super-rare hamburgers... This book is a wild rise! You'll love reading this funny, wacky adventure as Tom ventures through 6th grade, not totally human, but totally interesting. I personally thought this book was awesome, and it kept me laughing chapter after chapter. The great graphics and story kept me engaged through the whole book and wanting a sequel ASAP! I would recommend this book to anyone ages 9+ and I rate it 4/5 stars!
