Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: The Illustrated Edition

The Uncommoners #1: The Crooked Sixpence

The Uncommoners #1: The Crooked Sixpence

By Jennifer Bell

This book stars out Ivy Sparrow and her older brother in an ambulance, rushing their Granma Sylvie to the hospital. But they have no idea what is in store for them once after they arrive. Right away Granma Sylvie is taken into care. Ivy and Seb's parents are on their way. All appears to be fine(except for the strange man Ivy saw poking around the hospital). But then Ivy and Seb return home-to find it completely trashed. When they are investigating the scene, a strange force of toilet-brush wielding policemen show up. To make things worse they want Ivy and Seb! Ivy and Seb manage to escape with the help of another fugitive Valian. After they arrive at their destination they are amazed. They find themselves in an underground world-Lundinor. In Lundinor, ordinary objects have incredible powers. There are buttons with healing powers, talking bells, candles that make the holder invisible. But the world of Lundinor has secrets buried. Ivy and Seb discover that their family is connected to this uncommon world, and they have no idea of who they can trust. They must race to discover the truth and get to the bottom of hidden history before time runs out. One thing I liked about this book is that it started out with a bang. The story starts right away, with plenty of action. I also like how all the information we receive about this uncommon world is woven into the story, so it doesn't distract from the story. I'm very excited to read the second installment in this series! Jennifer Bell did an amazing job of creating this underground world, it is a completely new concept. I haven't read anything like it, making it even more enjoyable. I recommend this book to middle school and high school readers. I think older elementary kids would also enjoy it. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.

The Graham Cracker Plot

The Graham Cracker Plot

By Shelley Tougas

I loved this book so so so so so so so so so so so much!!!!! It is a great realistic fiction story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is about a girl named Daisy who's dad gets in jail because of accidentally blowing up a house using an experiment he made. ( Daisy calls her dad ''The Chemist'' because he loves chemistry ). While Daisy tries to get her dad out of jail, a lot of things happen. When Daisy's mom goes on a vacation to Mexico, she has to stay at her moms best friends house. The thing is, she hates being around Graham. ( Graham is her moms friends son ). Will Daisy get her dad out of jail? Will she survive being around Graham for a while? If you want to know what will happen next then read the book!!!!!!!! I think the message in this story is ''Keep on trying''. I think this book is meant for both boys and girls because the main characters are a boy, and a girl. My favorite character in this story is Daisy because she never gave up. My favorite part was when Daisy stood up for her dad at the prison. I hope you like it!!!!!!!!!

Iggie's House

By Judy Blume

This book was about a girl named Winnie, short for Winifred, who's best friend moved away. They had lived on the same street, but her friend, Iggie, moved to Tokyo. The people who moved into Iggie's old house were Black/African-American, not many people around where they lived were black. One of their nearby neighbors, Mrs. Landon, doesn't like the Gerbers and wants them to leave all because of their skin color. Winnie doesn't want them to move, they're her friends. Mrs. Landon is having people sign petitions and everything, Winnie thinks that that is crazy, why would she want them to leave? Mrs. Landon said that people should move away because sooner or later people like the Gerbers would be everywhere, she meant people with people of color like the Gerbers. In the end Mrs. Landon and her family ended up moving away and everything turned out fine.
