Kids Books - Fiction

After finally getting the Darkdeep under control (or so they thought), Opal, Emma, Logan, Tyler, and Nico realize that there's more to Still Island and the houseboat than meets the eye... Opal starts hearing a weird voice in her mind, directing her and telling her what to do next, and Opal just KNOWS that it's the green alien-like blob Thing in a Jar. As the 5 friends discover more and more about their jobs as Torchbearers, things just get crazier. It's the season of Halloween in Timbers, and with the chilly weather and pumpkin spice lattes, tourists are drawn in by the town legend of the Beast. And not just tourists. A low-quality YouTube series is in town, hoping to capture footage of the Beast and film interviews with kids in town to gain fame and fortune. When the Torchbearers find out that the legendary Beast is REAL, they have to do everything they possibly can to stop the camera crew -and the rest of the town- from finding him or the other figments that have been running rampant with no end in sight. Will the Torchbearers be able to wrangle all the figments into place? Where is Thing in a Jar from, anyway? And why is the tide turning red right outside Still Island and the newfound yet mysterious Rift? I really really really loved this book! One thing I would recommend is reading the first book in the series, "The Darkdeep," before reading this sequel. If not, it's easy enough to pick up, but I did find it helpful to read the first book! It was as fantastic as this book was! I loved how the alternating perspectives switched between Opal and Nico, and I was on the edge of my seat throughout the entire book! I would totally give this book 5/5 stars, and I recommend this series to anyone looking for a spooky Halloween-y mystery series to read this fall! Double thumbs up!

A thrilling, action-packed book...dive deeper into the Warriors world with this super edition, sure to amaze the reader. What if you were a wild cat, living in a place where you can’t choose who you want to be? This is WindClan, one of the four groups of cats who live in the wild, hunting for themselves. For many generations, WindClan was divided into two groups; tunnelers and moor runners. Tunnelers hunted underground and dug passageways, while moor runners preferred the feeling of wind whistling through their fur as they ran up above. Tallkit dreams of becoming a great warrior. His parents have great expectations for him, and he knows he must live up to them. But when his father is killed in a rockslide while showing a rogue cat his tunneling skills, Tallkit, now a warrior named Talltail, is bitter with resentment...and wants revenge. Numb with grief, Talltail sets off in search of the rogue cat, meeting new friends and enemies alike. He must figure out where his heart lies...and where he belongs. Can he stay loyal to WindClan?

This book is a great one for road trips. I've read a few of the stories so far and laughed out loud. Shannon Hale's fictional babysitting story about a terrible twosome was both funny and spooky! I recommend this book to anyone who loves childhoods of great authors.

Amazing! A great depiction of the wide and wonderful animal world...fantastic and very enthralling. The warrior Clans are in pandemonium. A terrible enemy walks among them, waiting for the right moment to strike...and the divide between Clan and kin grows stronger every day. The cats must do something—or all will be lost. Meanwhile, four other cats struggle with problems of their own. Leafpool is a medicine cat, dedicated to healing, never allowed to take a mate or have kits...but then she meets Crowfeather, and a forbidden love ignites. Squirrelflight must decide who she wants to be...and where her loyalties lie. She is Leafpool’s sister...and again, that impossible question comes up; Clan or kin. And Brambleclaw struggles to break free of his evil father’s hold, of all the suspicion that follows him around. Can these cats rebel against their destinies...and follow their hearts?

Just before the big-budget debut film of the Hunger Games releases, Papercutz parodies the first book starring Ratkiss Everspleen and her younger sister Dim. In this rendition of Suzanne Collins' bestselling novel, the Hunger Games are optional, Peeta turns in Peek a Choo, and the world of Panem is flipped upside down. This hilarious parody will have you laughing to the very last page!

This book is so funny. I found it when Mom handed it to me to read . I took it and went to my reading chair and started to read it. Amelia Jane is a toy doll. She keeps getting in to trouble by doing different things such as teasing the other toys and blowing up a balloon pig and scaring the other toys!! She never seems to be able to keep herself out of trouble. Sometimes, she would get into trouble and then make up for it. Like once she threw picture bricks through the window because the golliwog was being rude to her. Then it started to rain and she went out to get them. I think you will love this book because it has so many funny tales and she gets into trouble in all of them. If you like toy story, you will love this book! Trust me, you won't be able to stop giggling!

This book is amazing. Iv'e been reading the books for 2 years! This book is magic like the Great Houndini!! The book tracker (i think) gives magic tricks to trick your friends!!! LOVE IT 5 stars it is!

Wow! I didn't know there was a Stampy Cat book! I can't wait to read it! I just hope the library has it =D

In this exceptional book by Kiera Cass, you get to peek into the world of four characters, in the land where love conquers all. The first story is of Amberly, a young girl entering the Selection before America's. It tells the story of the beloved Queen Amberly as she goes through her own Selection with King Clarkson.Young and in love with the king follow Amberly as she learns more about both Clarkson and the crown. This book is an excellent book, and anyone who has read the Selection or is just looking for a good book will love it. The next story is of Maxon, the prince. Read his side of the story as he first meets America.The 3rd story is of Aspen, and how he fights for America before finally falls in love again. The last and perhaps most beautiful story is of The favorite, Marlee, and how she Carter fight for their love.

Well-written and nicely illustrated, as usual. But I really miss the humor in the original Geronimo books. The sisters are a bit monotonous, beyond their clothing, hairstyle and skills. Also the amount of education info is kind of tiring. A sufficiently good story will intrigue readers to seek them out on their own.
