Molly's Puppy Tale (American Girl)
By Valerie Tripp
I really enjoyed this story! I loved reading about Molly’s dog Bennett, and how she wanted to treat him as if he was still a puppy. It was nice when Molly and her brother finally decided to take care of Bennet together.
Benjamin Franklin: Huge Pain in my...
By Adam Mansbach, Alan Zweibel
I won this book in a giveaway and when I finally got around to reading, it was pretty good but kind of confusing and I just didn't really like it much. It just wasn't very memorable.
Shatterproof (The 39 Clues: Cahills vs. Vespers, Book 4)
By Roland Smith
Dan and Amy are sent on another crazy mission to retrieve an obscule item on the orders and threat of the Vespers. This time, they know the Vespers are out to get Dan's best friend, Atticus, who is, apparently, a "guardian". In order to save seven hostages of their own family, Amy and Dan must steal the Golden Jubilee, one of the biggest and most heavily-guarded diamonds in the world. There's another problem- from The Medusa painting to the De Virga map, Dan and Amy have pinpointed themselves onto the Interpol's Most Wanted list.

I love these series of books. There are 4 in the series, and they are by Dan Gutman. The only one that I have not read, is the fourth and final one. If you are interested in history, I would really recommend these series of books! This one is all about the Pompei Diaster! Love these. #thumbs up!

Hattie Ever After
By Kirby Larson
I love this book. Much better than the first, but the first is still awesome! This one is better because (drum roll, please) Hattie is trying to become a reporter. Calling all bookworms and writingworms (I know that is not a word, but what am I supposed to say?). Best. Book. Ever.

Spy Runner
By Eugene Yelchin
So. This entire review will be about the momentum of this story because its pace is just really scary. No, not scary. Exhilarating. From the very beginning, everthing is peaceful and all... until Jake's house's room is rented out to a "communist" WEll, that's what Jake thinks, but there's actually a really surprising twist in the end. Starting from the place where his father's room is rented out, a bunch of events happen that is so heart thumping and exciting. But as exciting as it is, it's just too much. THere's no leeway in between, so it's hard for me to think through about the events, and what they mean. It's good for entertainment but if you are a deep reader like I am, you probably won't like this book that much.
