Secrets to Ruling School (Without Even Trying) (Secrets to Ruling School #1) (The Secrets to Ruling School)
By Neil Swaab
I didn't like this book very much. I don't think that the point of the book was very good. I think that Max Corrigan is not a good kid and is trying to hide it. I do not recommend this book. It is also boring.
Malcolm at Midnight
By W. H. Beck
Malcolm is a rat undergoing a bit of an identity crisis, you see. Everyone thinks him a mouse because of his size, so he has gone from being on sale as python food to a comfy classroom pet. Then he meets the Midnight Academy during his first adventure outside the classroom. They are a secret society of classroom pets dedicated to keeping the kids of the school safe. They automatically assume he is a mouse too. His rat pride is yelling at him to tell them he is a rat, but rats have a terrible reputation: they are lying, skiving, thieving and selfish rats. When the Midnight Academy takes him on as a pledge, Malcolm is determined to prove that rats can be good too (excusing his lying about being a mouse), and tries really hard to be the fifth-grader he wants to be, one with merit and valor! However, almost everything he does leads the Midnight Academy’s second in command to think he is working with Snip - the cat who is terrorizing their school. And when Aggy the Iguana - the leader of the Midnight Academy - is kidnapped and all evidence points to him, he is locked in his cage. But Malcolm has nutter (kid) friends too and now it’s up to him (with encouragement from the nutters) to stop Snip from carrying out his evil plan, whatever that may be, find Aggy, be the fifth-grader he wants to be, and find Mr. Benny’s engagement ring. This book is a brilliant mystery and has characters with fully developed personalities. I think it will really appeal to fans of Humphrey the Hamster and other stories about animal/bug heroes. It is full of wit, humor, distrust and is all about learning who you really are and being who you want to be. After all, a critter reveals his true self at midnight.
Ophelia and the Marvelous Boy
By Karen Foxlee
Warning this review may contain spoilers! Ophelia finds this magical boy locked inside a room in a museum and agrees to help him with magical a quest. What I thought of it: Well, I read it awhile ago so I don't remember it very well. I do remember that everything that was supposed to be a "secret' or what not was pretty obvious. I knew from the start that the museum lady was the Snow Queen. I also figured that Ophelia was the special person (I can't remember the name they used at this exact moment). Also, I quickly figured out that Alice was going to be put into the machine. So yeah, everything was obvious. Also Ophelia was just plain annoying. She just went around saying that she didn't believe in magic because she was too smart to believe in magic. Well honestly, she wasn't that smart. She just came off as snotty. And she was boring too. The author tried to make her seem quirky and what not, but all that she did was take her inhaler. She literally took it like 4 times a day. The author must of not done much research because once you take your inhaler, you're supposed to wait 4 to 6 hours before taking it again. And this book wasn't very well written. Also, I was disappointed that we never learned the Marvelous Boy's name. Overall, it was boring and predicable. I've read a lot of books that were just like it.
Please Write in this Book
By Mary Amato
Marcy
The teacher put a book in the Writer's Corner. So what? Well, I'll rephrase the sentence. The teacher hid the book in The Writer's corner. And she leaves some instructions inside. The best way to rephrase it is: If you find this book, you can write anything you like. You can draw pictures, tell jokes, and pretty much anything. So the first person to find the book is Lizzy. She hopes that only girls will find it. Then more people start finding it. Such as: Milton; the class nerd who likes everyone to stick to the facts, Luke; the class clown, Jimmy; a boy who doesn't like to write, Kira; Lizzy's friend, and more. Soon enough, Lizzy gets hypercritical and makes rules that she herself won't follow. And Luke makes mean jokes even when people tell him to stop. And what about the other kids? Jimmy is deffinetly on Luke's side. Kira is no doubt on Lizzy's side, and Milton just wants everyone to stick with the facts. But the journal might have a way to bring the entire class together.

A Crooked Kind of Perfect
By Linda Urban
I loved this book so so so so so much!!!!!!! It is a great realistic fiction story!!! It is about a girl, who really wants to play the piano, but then she ends up playing the organ instead. In this story it tells how you don't always get exactly what you want, but sometimes, different is perfect. Since I play the piano, I know what Zoe means by you have to work hard in piano, you can't sit back and relax. My favorite character in this book is Zoe because she is very understandable about things like how when in the beginning when she couldn't get a piano, she learned the organ instead. I also liked how it ended, but I don't want to give it away.
Secrets of the Book
By Erin Fry
Sixth grader Spencer Lemon has a degenerative eye disease—and he’s rapidly losing his eyesight. So he has no idea why he was chosen to guard Pandora’s Book. When Ed, the old guy at the nursing home, hands over the book, he doesn’t get a chance to explain any of the rules to Spencer. Spencer only knows that the book contains famous dead people—people who can be brought back to life. Spencer and his autistic best friend, Gregor, soon figure out how to get people out of the book, but not how to get them back in. Then Ed disappears, and a strange man shows up on Spencer’s doorstep—and he seems to know a lot about Spencer and about Pandora’s Book. Is he one of the bad guys? Or is here to help Spencer unravel the secrets of the book? But there are others interested in Pandora’s Book, others who might use its powers to take over the world. And it’s up to Spencer, along with Gregor and Ed’s mysterious (and cute) granddaughter Mel, to protect the book—and save the world.
