WOW!!! That was my only reaction after reading this book! Just WOW! This book totally surprised me. Cruz Coronado lives in Hawaii and loves to surf. At least, he LIVED in Hawaii. The very exclusive Explorer Academy had accepted his application to attend... in WASHINGTON, D.C.! His deceased mother had gone when she was his age, and Cruz feels she would be proud of him going. At the Academy, they train kids and teens about how to explore. Pretty cool, right? Cruz definitely thinks so! There's augmented reality rooms to simulate what life will be like when they set sail to take an ACTUAL EXPLORATION! YEAH! They get to actually go out into the world and explore using the skills they learned at the Explorer Academy! Sounds like my kind of school!! But something sinister seems to be going on amidst all of the hubbub. Nebula (a medicine company) wants to stop the explorers from finding a special substance from jellyfish that can cure every single disease in the world, which would eventually put Nebula out of service (because no one is getting sick and buying their medicine)! LIKE, WHO WOULD DO THAT?!? Nebula is the DEFINITION of evil! And a strange man keeps popping up in Cruz's life... more like following him! Why is all of this happening to Cruz? Find out in Explorer Academy: The Nebula Secret. This book is spectacular! I loved it because it had fun codes, and awesome story and writing style, and showed how cool exploring is! I would absolutely LOVE to attend Explorer Academy! This book was overall FABULOUS! I recommend this book to anyone, at any age!

If you didn't know before reading this book, it's the second book in the Underland Chronicles. Read the first book first. I may accidently spoil something about the first in the review, but I doubt it. Still, no one likes a spoiler. Only really weird people. (A.k.a.: some of my closest friends, but whatever.) After returning from the Underland the first time, Gregor swore never to return. But now he has no choice. The giant cockroaches that inhabit the Underland have kidnapped his sister, who they call their "princess". At first Gregor's angry about this, but then he found out their reason. It was foretold in a prophesy that if the rats killed Boots, they would rule the Underland. And if it meant they would have power over the Regalians. . . the rats would stop at nothing until she was dead.

the Treasure hunters is a about the kidd kids ,beck storm, bick and tommy,who is actually really funny.but when they were sailing with there dad,a really bad storm came along and took him over board.and their mother was lost cyprus,and was dead-or thats what they said.so now their orphans and there alone at sea with a ship (the lost) sinking.the kidds are trying to find what there dad was looking for and try to get into the "room" to get a treasure map to a ship.thats when they come along louie louie,(a person who dose business with anyone who cares to do business with him),and demand to make him fix the lost,and make a trade for the bumblebee bauble for the african mask.but i'm not going to tell you about the whole story.they go through lot of twist and turns and they figure out what really happened to their parents.so to summon up the story it's a funny adventure book with lots of steps to finding their missing parents

Does the name "Jacky Ha-Ha" ring a bell? It might if you've read Mr. Patterson's bestselling hit series, I Funny. But if you haven't, don't despair! This book was new, original, and I loved it all the more because it reminded me of Jamie Grimm (from the I Funny series) yet had a completely unique and different character, Jacky! What I absolutely loved about this book is the timeline it's set in; the 1990's. Sadly, nowadays you don't really get books that are set in the past unless they're thick history books that have been collecting dust for the last few decades; which is why I really enjoyed this book. Not set so far back in the past that I find myself completely unable to relate to Jacky, but set nicely a decade or two ago so that I can enjoy learning what her life was like. Overall, really entertaining, (plus I LOVE her jokes, her fiery spirit, and her acrobatic abilities *wink*), heartwarming, and it definitely makes me dying to read the next book if this turns out to be a series!

Another adventure starts with Grace Thomas, who finally back home from Paris, only to bought something very memorable; the French bulldog, Bonbon (meaning chocolate in French). She also finally saw her friends; Maddy and Ella. But things between Maddy and Grace started off onto rocky start ever since Grace got back from Paris but later made up. Grace and her friends also started a business which turned out to be great! - Happy Reading!

The main character of this book is Alex. He has a life-threatening medical condition, and so every day the middle-school-er goes to work with his mom at the museum. One day he comes very close to dying, until his mom saves him with a magic book, one of the artifacts. But then evil spirits are released and disaster occurs. To top it off his mom disappears. Will he and his best friend Ren be able to find her and reset the evil doings. I only recommend this book for older kids as it has much violence, and horror involved.

I love it

This may not be the type of book I usually read, but I was definitely overjoyed to recieve it on behalf of DOGO books for being a Top Summer Reader. As soon as I got Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid in the mail, I was quick to tear open the package and start reading. Since I'd read the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series with my friends when I was younger, this was a sweet surprise, especially since it stars one of my favorite characters: Rowley Jefferson. This book is about his life, and how he puts up with his best friend Greg's endless and sometimes annoying pranks. He's a pretty good kid---he helps his parents a lot, listens to directions, and gets good grades on tests. But unfortunately, Greg is the polar opposite of that. He prefers to goof off during tests and play practical jokes---something that occasionally gets Rowley into trouble too. In this book, Rowley talks about the time he and Greg had their first sleepover, when Greg "accidentally" made him get in trouble with his math teacher, and the time they both snuck out of their houses at night to play on another kid's trampoline, only to get busted by Greg's father. These are just some of their antics, though---you'll find many more of their funny adventures in Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid! Overall, I liked this book, and rate it 4/5 stars. I recommend it for people who have read and loved Jeff Kinney's bestselling series Diary of a Wimpy Kid!

Griffin Bing is framed for stealing a valuable Super Bowl ring, and the circumstantial evidence points to him, even though he didn't do anything! While Griffin is under his sentence, his crew tries to prove his innocence. The culprit is precisely the one who I did not expect. Korman is a master at incorporating twists, and this book is one of the best examples of this.

Karen goes over to her dads house she went for a walk with her brother and dog she wanted to try a new trick with her roller skates when she jumps over 2 cans and true to turn around she fell in broke her wrist. If you want to read more read this book
