BEST BOOK ON EARTH! WHEN I FINISH READING IT I COULD START ALL OVER AGAIN! This book is about a girl named Clara Wintermute the only child of a wealthy doctor and his wife ( because her brothers and sisters have passed). One day she sees the master puppeteer Gaspare Grisini and his two workers (that are orphans) Lizzie Rose a dainty young lady and Parsefall whose secrets are to dark to discover. Clara became spellbound by their act and invites them to entertain her guests for her birthday party. Seeing his chance to make a fortune the master agrees. Lizzie Rose and Parsefall are amazed by the Wintermute home and they see Clara seems to have everything they lack; parents, warmth, and plenty of food. But what they don't know is that Clara's life is actually shadowed by grief, guilt, and secrets. When she vanishes the suspicion falls on the puppeteer. As they seek out Clara the orphans uncover Grisini's criminal past and wake up to his evil intentions. Fleeing London, they find themselves in a trap set by his ancient rival a witch with a deadly inheritance to shed the fire opal before it is to late. PLZ READ THIS BOOK< GET IT< AND LOVE IT! THANK U!!!!!

I read this for homework and it was like the WORST book ever. I hated how the chapters were separated and though the plot was interesting, it was terribly paced. DO NOT READ THIS UNLESS YOU WANT TO DIE OF BOREDOM!!!!

Unsinkable was NOT a good start to the Titanic series. It's very, very bland and slow. The plot moves like molasses. I was pretty disappointed, as I had read Gordon Korman's Chasing the Falconers series, and I loved it, so I expected this book to be just as good. The characters don't have anything about them that really stands out or makes them interesting; they're all pretty stereotypical characters. Alfie is the mostly-honest guy who just wants to make sure he doesn't get fired because of Paddy, Paddy is a stowaway who's harboring anger for two thugs who he thinks killed his friend, Sophie is the girl who's supportive all the time, and Juliana is a rich, picky, snob who will instantly have a heart change just in the nick of time. I had to force myself to read this book to the last page, as it progresses so slowly...the only part that I actually thought was good was at the end, where we get a half-decent cliffhanger. Hopefully the rest of this series will be much better, and move more quickly with the story-line. Recommended age: 10 and under.

This book was great!! I loved it!! It was so much fun to read!! The characters were really cool, and I loved how the girls could turn into superheroes!!! It was amazing!! The story was really good and I can't wait until the next one!!!!

This book is so good i read it in class and i fell in love with it it is such a good book.

awsome

Widge has the rare ability of being able to write shorthand, and when is bought by a mysterious master, Widge is given a dangerous task: steal a play from Shakespeare himself, or else. But when he starts to make friends with the crew, Widge realizes that he can't not do it and now he must craft a plan to save himself. I would recommend this for ages 10+ I read this book for homework but it was better than I expected! I would definetely recommend this. Widge's personality is well crafted and the setting is well placed. The pace is excellent and this is probably the best homework book I ever read.

This was a really nice book! I loved how Jack and Annie went back to this specific baseball game, and how they became friends with some other kids. It was also interesting to see them in a different time period, and how everything was.

This is a great read if you are wanting an accurate account of the Holocaust and World War II from two completely different viewpoints. Alfons Heck, a Hitler Youth, explains the brainwashing that took place among the German youth. Helen Waterford, a Holocaust survivor, tells of her experiences in the Holocaust.

It is a very interesting story and I think other people must read it. Because it’s about time, travel fast through history. My favourite part was Geronimo was saving a maiden from the black castle where she was locked up in a room. I would read this book again as it’s very interesting.
