A Year of Mini Mysteries: 29 Tricky Tales to Untangle
By Kathy Passero
This book has some funny stories for every occasion. Unlike the revised Mini Mysteries book, there were brand-new stories instead of repeated ones with different illustrations. There is a set of stories for each season of the year: fall, winter, spring, and summer. Hope you enjoy it!
Adrift
By Paul Griffin
I found Adrift after a desperate search of my library for a book that might heal a bit of the heartbreak from the ending of the Throne of Glass series., and since it was short and had a decent-looking storyline, I grabbed it and started reading. You can't go wrong with a book about five teens stranded at sea with no hope of survival, right? WRONG. Don't get me wrong, I like a fast-paced book, but Adrift was had a blink-and-you'll-miss-it plot. It felt like the author just tossed the story upon you without a second thought for character development. It definitely would have done better as a longer novel. But I have to give Mr. Griffin credit; the story is what it claims to be and nothing less. It was realistic in gristly details and had an ending that just sums up how life goes: The main characters don't always get the girl, not everyone lives, and it's not always just forgive-and-forget. I found Adrift in the teen section, but anyone could read it. It's only 228 pages, so I didn't lose much, but this book didn't leave me feeling like I'd gained anything, either.
Monsters University Fearbook
By Disney Book Group, Calliope Glass
I got this book on amazon.com. It was an awesome find! The illustrations are pretty cute. I like the classes sections, including Art's philosophy class and side note. I also liked pages 60-61 with the college's events. There were also cute pictures of Team Oozma Kappa and Randy in there.

Bone Gap

This book is the kind that is hard to put down, the one that makes you just absolutely HAVE to know what happens.

One Wish (13 Treasures Trilogy)
By Michelle Harrison
This book introduces a younger version of the famous Tanya Fairchild from the 13 Treasures trilogy. Tanya has the gift to see fairies, but they don't like to be seen. Soon, Tanya meets a boy with the same ability. I plan on reading this book very soon.
Write On! (Katie Kazoo, Switcheroo (Pb))
By Nancy Krulik
I read this book at a very young age, but it is still one of my favorites. In this misadventure, Katie's favorite author is coming to school. But when Katie forgets to read her newest book, she is forced to experience being the author. Very inspirational for kid writers!
The Little Leftover Witch
By Florence Laughlin
When Felina the witch wrecks her broom and is forced to live with a human family, life gets a bit unusual. This was a sweet story about family and friendship. My favorite part was the Christmas morning scene. That chapter shows you that this book is not just for Halloween.
