This book was amazing. The best mystery book I have ever read. Addy and her family are given the opportunity for a better life. After Addy's father was offered a job by a rich man, Addy and her family get to move to a nice side of neighborhood, in the rich man's home next to the home he lives in. Addy and her family's future is looking bright for once. After escaping from slavery, her family has gone through a lot. Now, they will be able to settle into a nice home with a nice home. But then Addy is accused of stealing by the rich man's soon to be wife, Miss Elizabeth. To top it off, Addy finds a spy living in the underground floor of the rich man's home. How will Addy be able to clear her name? Or is Miss Elizabeth hiding something? Based in the mid 1800s, this story takes you on a historic and mysterious adventure. It also gives you the perspective of a newly freed slave. This book also shows the hardship that newly freed slaves had to go through, even after being freed. I really, and strongly recommend this book. It was heartwarming and it also made me grateful for all the opportunities and privileges, I take for granted. I suggest this if you like history, mysteries, and family. Happy reading!

Such a good book about friendship and never giving up. Evvy learns to value friendship, to be independent, and to get over death.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is my favorite book. Tom is a mischievous young boy who gets into all sorts of trouble. He has a big crush on a new girl named Becky Thatcher, and would do anything for her. He witnesses a grave robbery and murder with his friend Huck Finn. He even runs away with his friends and people assume he's dead. Tom can always talk himself out of a scrape, and can even get kids to take his punishments AND pay him! This is a wonderful book about a fun and daring childhood.

Do you know what a catamount is? It's a cougar or mountain lion! Serafina, a girl living in 1899, was the daughter of a shap_shifter. At times, her mother would be a mountain lion, the next, she would be a human. But Serafina doesn't have this ability. No matter how hard she tries, she can't do it! Up until a few months ago, she didn't even know her mother. Ever since she was little, Serafina has been raised in Biltmore, a giant estate near the mountains of North Carolina. Over time, she has almost become like its guardian. But this time, she'll have to fight hard to defeat her enemy. One night, she encounters a strange man with magical powers. He seems to be able to control animals. Even more terrifying, he has sent his spy so that he can invade Biltmore! But who is it? How can she defeat the man? I liked this book because it had a lot of details about life in 1899.

It is a really funny book, but is a total rip-off. I still think its interesting. This book is for Hunger Games fans. If you haven't read the first book, you should probably read it before reading this one.

***Spoiler Alert*** The book that I am doing a review on is called Spy School: British Invasion by Stuart Gibbs. This book is about a group of outlaws and they are trying to prove their names while also trying to get the evil organization, SPYDER arrested. They were framed for wrecking museums and different buildings. I learned from this book that people can change their minds when confronted with the reality of the situation. I liked the book and connected to it because it is a very suspenseful and cool story. For example their were a lot of double agents that suddenly switched sides. The setting was very cool because it had a lot of sightseeing places in it. In the setting there were a lot of historical landmarks that had different purposes than what people thought. They were made as lookout towers that don’t actually look like lookout towers. I think that Stuart Gibbs put these parts in the setting so it would show that things aren’t actually always what you think they are. For example the Eiffel Tower is actually a big antenna that transmits secret messages. For another example Tower Bridge is actually a spy hideout. Also in the catacombs there were secret entrances into houses. In one of the houses there is a woman who is called Mr. E that is the leader of the SPYDER organization. I think that Stuart Gibbs included this scene in the book to show that a woman is just as good as a man and sometimes even better. For an example, in the book “Mr. E” says that boys do not expect girls to be the leader of organizations so that way she can stay under the radar and she was able to sneak into the meetings dressed as a maid. This is an amazing book and I would give it 5 out of 5 stars.

This book is about a princess that is trying to take back her kingdom. Theodosia was six when her kingdom was invaded by the Kalovaxians and her mother, the Queen of Flame and Fury, was murdered right in front of her eyes. On the same day, she became a prisoner in her own castle and was crowed the Ash Princess; as a taunt to her mother’s legacy. She suffers through ten years of humiliation from the Kaiser who loves nothing more than to make her wear a crown made of ashes. One night, the Kaiser makes her kill a prisoner who turns out to be her father to prove her loyalty. After that night, Theo has decided that she cannot simply survive in this nightmare; she needs to fight back. This book is amazing and descriptive. The way the author describes the experiences Theo goes through; it is almost like you can see her pain and fury yourself. The abuse she has to go through makes you understand her philosophy and ideology more clearly. Be warned though; this book is the first of a trilogy so if you read this and enjoy it as I did, you have to read Lady Smoke and Ember Queen.

This is a graphic novel about two friends/co-workers at a pumpkin patch. Josie and Deja have worked together at the Succotash Hut for years. But this is the last day before they go off to college. Deja is a witty and confident girl who attracts boys and girls alike; rumor is she has dated pretty much everyone at the pumpkin patch at some point. Josie, on the other hand, is very serious and shy. On their last day, Deja encourages Josie to confess to his unrequited love; the girl who works at the Fudge Shoppe. If they can find her. Deja and Josie go on a goose hunt around the entire pumpkin patch trying to find this girl. But when Josie finds this girl; will it really be what he wanted? This book really caught my attention because of the inclusion of the LGBTQ+ character and the unusual setting. Let's be honest, how many graphic novels are there about love in a pumpkin patch? This book has an awesome plot twist at the end, so you should read it! No…don’t skip to the end of the book to find out what the plot twist is…you know who you are…
