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!

An incredible book which gives insight into the events of the Lord of the Rings. Very dense, but you won't regret reading it. I recommend reading it twice to get a better grasp of things.

The heartwarming Christmas short story of "The Gift of Magi" by O. Henry. The young couple with big dreams but also poor but this doesn't stop James "Jim" and Della Dillingham. They couldn't afford the expensive gifts but Della, she first had an idea so she went to the hair store and sold her hair and brought a new watch for her husband, and Jim, too also sold his watch to get his wife a hair comb. But in the story, money doesn't matter, only love matters. Those gifts just shows of how much love they share with each other. This is classic Christmas story that I would recommend for everyone during the holiday! - Happy Reading!
