The Iron Trial (Book One of Magisterium)

The Iron Trial (Book One of Magisterium)

By Holly Black, Cassandra Clare

This book centers around a twelve year old kid named Call Hunt, who has been accepted into a school for magic called the Magisterium, though his father doesn't want him to attend. While at the school, Call makes new friends, new foes, and discovers a shocking secret about himself that turns his whole world upside down. This book was fast paced, original, and had plenty of funny moments too. It's got friendship, love and lots of mystery. Unlike most fantasy books, this one doesn't have the usually clear-cut lines between good and evil; on the contrary, it ends with a shocking plot twister that is sure to keep you on your toes and dying to read the next book. I would reccomend this to people that love fantasy, friendship, and fast paced adventure.

Michael Vey 2: Rise of the Elgen

Michael Vey 2: Rise of the Elgen

By Richard Paul Evans

Michael Vey: Rise of the Elgen is the 2nd book in the Michael Vey series. It stars Michael Vey, a boy who is one of 17 children who have electrical-based powers. They are being researched by a company called The Elgen. Some of the “electric children” are on Vey’s side, but some support The Elgen. Since the Elgen kidnapped Michael’s mom, Michael goes to one of their bases to rescue her. This book has lots of action and is a page-turner. This series is also very similar to other series, namely the Percy Jackson series, so if you enjoyed those books, you’ll enjoy this book too. I recommend this book to kids in 5th to 8th grade. This book gets a 4 out of 5 from me.

Eddie Red Undercover: Mystery on Museum Mile

Eddie Red Undercover: Mystery on Museum Mile

By Marcia Wells

Edmund Lonnrot is a normal 11 year old kid. Well, except for his photographic memory and his amazing drawing abilities. One day his father tells him that he was losing hours at work, making them unable to afford Edmund's school. That all changes when the police come to Edmund with unusual request. Work for them and they would pay for Edmund's school next year. You see the police have been unable to solve a crime because the suspects keep changing the way they look. Eddie's job? Go to the art museum and draw anyone suspicious. If they're able to catch the thieves the NYPD will pay for Eddie's education next year. I liked this book because it was so fast paced. I didn't like the way the adults acted in this book and the twists were kind of predictable. But, I think fans of mysteries and Theodore Boone will absolutely love Eddie Red: Mystery on Museum Mile!

Comics Squad #2: Lunch!

Comics Squad #2: Lunch!

By Jennifer L. Holm, Matthew Holm, Jarrett J. Krosoczka, Peanuts, Cece Bell

This was my favorite of the series. The cutest story was Crazy Little Thing Called Lunch, by Cece Bell. It's about a girl named Ellie who sees her crush, Franklin as a giant baloney sandwich. The illustrations in that comic were adorable! This is a good travel comic!
