I HIGHLY reccomend this book to anyone looking for a funny, adventurous, and suspenseful book! I love it! Molly Moon is an orphan who lives at a horrible orphanage. One day she goes to the library and finds a "no-read on hold" book about hypnotism. It leads her to NYC! Will she use her possible hypnotic powers to help? Or to con?? Amazing book! I've read it over and over again!

With amazing illustrations by Rebecca Green, Iqbal and His Ingenious Idea by Elizabeth Suneby is a great picture book about a little boy who enters a science fair in his school. This is a wonderful book and I really enjoyed reading it!

Nancy Drew. Super girl sleuth. If she suspects a thing, the mystery is already guaranteed to be solved. This incredible read takes place the time around Nancy's father's birthday. At the time, a man called Mr. Granger is running unopposed for mayor. The only other person considering running is Heather Simmons, but Nancy has gotten so far to figure out that-gasp!-Heather's daughter, musician all-star, Leslie, had gone missing! Everyone says Leslie is just at a getaway, to practice for an audition at one of the most elite music schools out there. But when Leslie doesn't show up for her recital, Nancy knows something is wrong. While at Leslie's no-show recital, she meets Mrs. Sharon- another woman trying to get her daughter into college. Later, Nancy, Bess, and George, face the crazy, mishap adventures of the road when Nancy decides that she will head up to the supposed "getaway" Leslie was staying at with the Sharon's daughter, Diane. The Sharons' offered it to Leslie to go so far to retreat to practice. Sounding fishy enough yet? Yep, guess what? When Nancy finally gets to the right house, she finds Leslie all alone. By this time, they knew they were going to miss the audition. Leslie tells Nancy that Mr. Sharon was supposed to pick her up LAST night, and he had picked Diane up yesterday, so Leslie could practice longer. WHY he would take two super-long trips, I don't know! But when Nancy pointed this out Leslie, Leslie stated Diane was her best friend! Later revealed, Diane had no clue her parents had sabotaged Leslie-yep, that's what happened. When they all got home, it was Nancy's Dad's b-day. Nancy had failed to find the perfect gift until a brilliant one popped into her brain. Leslie agreed to play a surprise, beautiful piano piece for the entire party. Mr. Drew was ecstatic!!! This book was totally worth it, and I loved it to the extreme! I know when I reviewed this, there was only one other review! So, if you find this, PLEASE try it out. I highly recommend it.

It's genuinely spooky and beautifully written, and includes some great commentary on losing someone you love and the grieving process. This is one of my go-to books when a child wants a scary book to check out, and one that I will keep re-reading every few years.

I think the book was funny because mrs jafee starts war and Aj ties mrs jafee up just because there team is losing !

All Charlotte wants is to be liked. She is a social outcast that is desperate for someone, anyone to at least notice her. Throw in Charlotte's crush, a gummy bear, Physics class, and that's the end of Charlotte as we know it, literally. At the end of Physics class, Charlotte unbelievably chokes on a gummy bear just when Damien her crush, actually notices her. Tragic, isn't it? Well, she ends up in "DeadEd", a class for dead students to "graduate" which simply means to move on. This book is an amazing story of the constant struggle for popularity, and the lengths we'll go to achieve that. Hurley's debut novel really amazed me. It seemed really ironic in the beginning, but as the story progressed I became more engrossed with the story. I love the illustrations, and especially the cover. The story was actually really thought-provoking with a dark twist. Overall, I really liked it, and I can't wait to read the whole series. Lastly, I think this is quite a mature read so I would recommend this to 14+. ~ifeelbookish

I recently finished the book, and I thought "Never Say Die" was amazing! With a new plot and mystery with every word it will keep you reading past your bedtime. Like all the Alex Rider books, Alex is pushed into working with MI6 again, resilient as always Alex disobeys Mrs.Jones orders and goes on his own mission, to rescue Jack. With new villains/antagonists and dangers this is my 3rd favorite Alex Rider book in the series. I give this book 5/5 stars, and recommend it for kids 10+. You should read the other books in the series to understand the plots in the new book. More thrills and action this new addition to the series will not leave you disappointed! My favourite Alex Rider book is Point Blanc. I hope you enjoy the "Never Say Die" book as much as I did! (PS. FOR ALL YOU DIE HARD ALEX RIDER FANS I HAVE A THEORY THE NEXT INSTALMENT WILL BE "NIGHTSHADE") Your fellow bean_boy12

The third book in Michael Scott's "Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel" series, The Sorceress, kicks the action up to a whole new level. Adding to the series' menagerie of immortal humans ("humani") and mythological beasts, the book picks up where The Magician left off: the immortal Nicholas Flamel (of The Alchemyst) and the twins, Sophie and Josh, have just arrived at St. Pancras international train station in London. Almost immediately, they're confronted with a demonic bounty hunter that immortal magician John Dee has sent their way. At the same time, Dee's occasional cohort, Niccolo Machiavelli, decides to focus his energy on Perenelle Flamel, the Alchemyst's wife, who has been imprisoned at Alcatraz since the beginning of the series. In this book, Perenelle gets a chance to show off her sorcery and resourcefulness, fighting and forging alliances with ghosts, beasts, and the occasional Elder to try and find a way out of her predicament and back to Flamel. Scott is as playful as ever, introducing new immortals--famous figures from history who (surprise!) are still alive. He also adds to the roster of fantastical beasts, which already includes such intriguing foes as Bastet, the Egyptian cat goddess, and the Morrigan, or Crow Goddess. Raising the stakes with each installment, Scott deftly manages multiple story lines and keeps everything moving pretty quickly, making this third book a real page-turner. More than just another piece in the puzzle of the whole series, The Sorceress is an adventure in its own right, and will certainly leave series fans wanting more.
