I enjoyed reading this book so far because each chapter, the story is of Scarlet's or Ivy's point of view so you can see what and how the story is different for both of the sisters. Also, great cliffhangers which makes me want to read more. - Amelia27Roze : p

From the first 39 Clues book I couldn't get enough of the series. I began reading it because the first book was by Rick Riordan, one of my favorite authors, but then I continued to read to ones after written by other authors. I ended up learning about new authors and reading their other books, like Gordon Korman. I recognized this book's author, Jude Law, because she wrote the fourth book in the 39 Clues series, Beyond the Grave. Hearing about this book, I was super happy that they were going to continue the series and that they even found a way to bring Amy and Dan back into the story. Double Cross Book 1: Mission Titanic, is about the new head of the Cahill family, Ian Kabra. For Ian, this has been what he's been working for his entire life. However, he underestimated exactly how much responsibility the job requires. And just how much his own family would betray him to get his position. At a Cahill family meeting a sinister force, calling himself the Outcast, kicks Ian out of his own house calling him to young and weak for such an important role. However, he offers Ian a series riddles to decode to regain his rightful spot. With each riddle, there is a disaster set to occur and its up to Ian to stop it. His first mission is to save a boat rigged to sink. Ian is forced to get past his ego and look to his younger allies in the Cahill family for help. The books brings back your favorite characters, as well as introducing new ones. For fans of the 39 Clues series, this is a must read!

This book takes the reader all the way back to when we had slavery. Kizzy Ann Stamps, the main character, has a dog named Shag that helps her along the path of life. As a young one, Kizzy was cut and was left with a huge scar going down the corner of her right eye and to the bottom of her cheek. Later on in the years, Kizzy had a chance to be transferred to a white school, when before, she couldn't go too. Throughout the book, the reader will experience the struggles and happiness young Kizzy Ann Stamps has experienced, which can give the reader different moods the whole way. Lastly, the reader will be reading the notes Kizzy sent to her new teacher. If you ask me, this book is splendid and is very knowledgeable for pre-teens, teenagers, and adults of all ages.

Lie Tree I have to admit is a very boring book in the first 70 pages. You will completely want to just through the book away and stomp on it. It is a complex novel with very dry adjectives , verbs, and parts of speech. Soon during the book you will realize that a lie is a murderous tool. It will get so int resting you won't want to put it down.

He saw Papou (grandfather in greek) with the other men and yelled trying to get his attention before Corey left what used to be Leila's apartment. Throwback is filled with action, suspense, and puzzles. If you like time travel, action packed, suspense, and puzzles, then Throwback is the story for you!

I LOVE this book <3 It's about a golden retriever from a dog mill and she's from cage nine number six and she starts with a bad owner and goes into to the wild and then gets taken to bern who she finds a god home from a boy named " Corey" and she lives happily ever after.

This book was thrilling. It was creepy and dramatic, it had many different story lines yet the story was still easy to follow. Towards the end there is action, suspense, drama and a twist ending. This story was incredible to read and was very well-written when describing how Clara felt in certain situations. The story line had twists and turns and there was always something happening. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend this book to my friends.

this book is very interesting and actionized!

Have you sailed around the world? How about stepped somewhere no one else has. Ok, you've most likely touched a place no one else has, just by walking in the woods. But have you experienced being among strange animals and people not known to our existence? Probably not, unless you've seen aliens on Mars. The book “Gulliver's Travels” by an Englishman of the name Jonathan Swift was first published in 1726. Swift died in 1745, never realizing his work would be so influential and widely spread throughout the world. Overall I thought this was an amazing and fascinating tale. I would rate this book a four out of five stars. The only reason it is not five out of five stars is because the wording is at times confusing. The genre of these fascinating tales are fantasy. In my summary you won't have to worry about me giving away the ending as there is no actual ending but a series of four travels. The first account occurs when Gulliver gets shipwrecked alone and washes upon the shores of Lilliput. An army of Lilliputans who are around six inches tall, quickly tie him to the ground. I would keep explaining the hostilities thrown upon Gulliver's but I don't want to overwhelm the reader with details. Gulliver's gets taken to the emperor who quickly bonds with Gulliver. The name of the emperor is unknown. Gulliver spends almost a year on Liliput and he has many friends but he has also made serious enemies. After the rumor of blinding Gulliver and starving him was passed on to the Emperor, he almost immediately told Gulliver. Gulliver made a ship and sailed away. Gulliver's second adventure brings him to a land ruled by giants. Gulliver is initially found by farmers but later sold to the king. Gulliver is in danger almost everywhere he goes. One day while in his box an eagle picks Gulliver's box up and drops it with him in it into the ocean while being attacked by other Eagles. He is later found by a normal sized ship. The captain takes care of him but thinks Gulliver is crooked because some princes put men in a home in the water that slowly sinks. Gulliver's third travel takes place on a flying island with the most peculiar of people, who are so busy thinking they have servants who touch their mouths, eyes, and nose so they listen when spoken to, talk, and look where they're going. Because of this, Gulliver soon leaves the island and is brought upon a professor who talks about what government is like on their country. The fourth journey is a surprise that you'll only know if you read the book. This book also has a movie for those of you who are too lazy to read this book. I would suggest this book to boys and girls in seventh grade and up, no one lower unless this is explained to you and you understand what's happening. I also suggest this book to people who like government, or stories set in the past, also if you like to read about travelers. Again I rate this book a four out of five stars because of the fascinating tales told. I only took of a star because the wording can be confusing.
