Think about this what if your grandma died and made a video when she was young. What if you had to decide wether you would keep a million dollars or get the first clue. What if you now are competing against you rich family members. This is the 39 clues. You will love this book! Allistar stole the book Dan and Amy needed. The Starlings are in the hospital. Your mom and dad are dead and you have to live with your horrible Aunt Beatrice. Well... Not that awesome but the last book will probably have a suprise! I love this book. I'm in chapter nine and they are going to Paris. Jonah Wizard and his dad had the same idea. READ THIS BOOK!

This is the fourth book in an incredible series! After the betrayal of Uncle Alistair Can and Amy don't know who to trust while looking for the next clue but that doesn't stop them from making the wrong choices! Uncle Alistair has some unfinished business with one of his family members which Can and Amy unfortunately had to meet and almost get killed by!

This book is about a little girl missing her father because he is in the army also it is about how she moved around and she had to get to used to the new environment I recommend this book because it is a very deep book and kinda funny too.

Quite personally, I thought the book was AWESOME! I hated some of the blabbering and lines until the juicy stuff came along. I thought it was pretty sad at the beginning when “Pap” got attacked by an alligator. And it was quite shocking to find out that Tim wasn’t a boy. Knowing all this time from the beginning. The best and most exciting part came when in Shenandoah Valley the battle broke out. Yanks vs Rebs. There were some pretty funny moments in the book. Like when Thrasher ends up eating a whiskey watermelon. I thought that part was pretty amusing. I really thought this one was a good one. Most fictional Civil War books I read are from the point of view from Union, but this one I like because it’s unique and different from most. It gives us a point of view from the Confederates. And so, I think that is interesting. If I were to rate this book from 1 to 10, I’d say a solid 9 and a ½. As the book had exciting and funny and interesting parts for the most part. And all the talking and conversations were interesting but they were probably in the least. If I could recommend this book to anybody, it would probably have to be people interested in the civil war or wondering about it. Because this book is quite the interesting one. A view from the opposing side. The confederates (if that’s your point of view.). Or people who own a confederate flag or have southern heritage. Because they could feel how this kid could feel. This book was REALLY good. And I think it’s definitely worth a read.

Where do I even begin? Honestly, I loved this book along with the preceding one, Shadows on the Sea. It was very informative about life during WW2 as well as the aftermath in later chapters of the book. Wendy definitely endured a lot more than Jill. So the first book was more of like a foreshadowing to the *actual* main character. That's how I see it. The story didn't really go anywhere with Jill, apart from the last 50~ pages of the book. But even then, it did not really add up. To summarize book 1: The girl, Jill, finds a hidden submarine, hides, calls police, but nothing happens because the submarine escaped. Mostly gossip around Winter Haven. And Nana's secret turns out to be.. well.. not all that confidential. It has you expecting something EPIC but Nana's secret is a total let-down. You're better off skipping to the end pages of the book to skip all that unnecessary suspense. However, despite this, I still very much enjoyed the story and how it was inspired by the author's own personal life, because Joan Hiatt Harlow (the author) experienced WW2... and it's so cool hearing her story. To Summarize book 2: In comparison to Jill's story, Wendy's involved active warfare, imprisonment, spies, and refugees for instance. There was a lot at stake. Berlin was way more intense than peaceful and cottagey Maine. I thought Wendy's relationship with her mother was intangible to describe. It was very.. complicated? To say the least. Wendy bounces back and forth from loving her mom to hating her mom etc. Wendy keeps a lot of secrets from Adrie (mom) because her mom a) works for a spy organization & b) very short-tempered. Because of this, this convinces a 15yo girl to take drastic measures and travel all the way to Sweden with a bunch of trusted strangers. Fast forward and now you have 19yo Wendy, who's identity is a complete mess (is she Jewish, German, American or all 3? Hard to say.). My only major critique is that Wendy did not meet up with Jill again, at least directly. I was very surprised that very little was mentioned about Jill. Although numerous times Wendy says Jill is her friend, I am not entirely convinced this is the case. Finally, I'm really confused about Barret. Again, DESPITE THIS, this couple-series is still GREAT. I was more or less nitpicking. I highly encourage reader to acknowledge the author's afterword. I may check out more of Joan's books but by far I consider Shadows on the Sea & The Watcher to be the best... this is the only series-type Joan has written, which tells you a lot about how much her readers loved the books!

i love this book, one of my favs. pls follow me if u agree thx

This has been a really good book. I am really clumsy and I would be awful at dancing, but I still really enjoyed it. I recommend this book to dancers, and also people who don't dance, like myself. Enjoy this captivating book!

It is such a good book. It tells the story of a German 9 year old girl named Anna. She is Jewish but she hardly ever feels like it because she does not do Jewish things. Her father is a well paid journalist but he was writing bad things about the Nazis. He had been told he was being threatened. As Anna travels she reads a book about found people. They all have hard childhoods. She leaves her home in Germany and then goes to Switserland, Paris and then London. Having to learn diferent languages was a strugle but Anna loved it. Would her childhood as a refugee count as a hard one?

Warning!! THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The jungle book is an amazing book! If you are an animal lover, love action, fighting, and suspense then the jungle book is for you. I loved how the author keeps you at the edge of your seat the whole book. In my opinion my favorite part about the jungle book is when Mowgli kills Shere Khan and proves him self. There are 5 different stories in the book itself. My favorite out of all is Rikki-Tikki- Tavi, it is about a mongoose who is trying to protect his family from combra and is amazing. All in all and awesome book!!! Highly suggest reading the Jungle Book.

Another fabulous book! Enola Holmes is on her own now. Helping the poor, disguises, and now...hiding from her brother? Sherlock is looking for her-but Enola's clever.
