Kids Books - Magic

Hey this book is great! If you are looking for a mystery, horror, humor novel this is the book for you. Its about four kids who buy a wish from a strange man. Its an amazing novel that has won an newbery award.

I'm right now on the 5th book and the series so far are so good. I can't put these books down because they're are sooo super good. If you read the first one you will be hooked into it like a fish.

The fourth book in The Missing; Jonah and Katherine are sent to 1611 to fix (and save) the year 1600. Jonah is supposed to act like John Hudson, Henry Hudson’s son on his ship The Discovery. With a futuristic exact John Hudson costume being worn by Jonah, he is the perfect John Hudson and Katherine is invisible. With a planned mutiny of Henry Hudson onboard, Jonah and Katherine need to figure out how to save history. Henry Hudson surrenders to the mutineers and agrees to go on a shallop with a few other shipmates to find the Northwest Passage. After they narrowly escape an iceberg, they see the ship coming back for them from the south when it was headed North. Then they spot the Northwest Passage. Second is at the helm and changing history up. So, after Jonah is put in the stocks and they find out one of the men is Second, they go back in time to where they were in the shallop trying to make things right and not be forced by Second’s hand. Will history fall apart, or will they succeed in making things right? What I thought about it Margaret Peterson Haddix is a wonderful author. She writes books in a way that you can see what’s happening clearly with your imagination. I discovered her from Into The Gauntlet, the tenth 39 Clues book. Then I read Found and Sent and loved those so I said, “Why not continue the series?” So I did with Sabotaged and Torn. It took me a long time to read both of them and I was actually anxious to finish and get on with another book. Sabotaged in my opinion was pretty confusing in some parts; I liked it, but there are so many things happening, that at one point it just confuses you. I had similar feelings with Torn, but it was slow-paced and didn’t have enough action. I have started reading the next one and I hope it will be better. I was sort of disappointed that Haddix made me want to finish to read something else. I hope she redeems herself with some other good books in the series.

I really loved this book because I'm really interested in science fiction. Before I read book 1, Found, I thought I wouldn't like the series. But now after I read book 1, I started reading all of the other books. Now I waiting for book, I think 7 or 8 to come out and I'm really excited

When time freezes in Jonah’s 7th grade science class, he knows something’s wrong. Five minutes later, Jonah and Katherine are speeding through time. They are in the year 1903, right next to Albert and Mileva Einstein themselves. When Mileva sees the Elucidator floating in thin air, she grabs it and shoves it in her pocket. She goes on a long journey to see her eighteen-month old child, Lieserl with Jonah and Katherine following her, and she realizes that they are there. They have gotten caught. With Mileva now having the knowledge of time-travel, will Jonah and Katherine be able to save history? And with a thirteen year old Lieserl in place of the eighteen-month old one, will they be able to keep Lieserl secret, and Mileva’s mouth shut? In an epic pageturner with shocking information revealed, Will history be in ruins, or will they be able to save the mess they made? What I thought about it: I did not want to read Caught. After I read Torn, I did not want to continue the series. But, I wanted to give Margaret Peterson Haddix another chance, so I continued the series. And I’m glad I did. I really enjoyed Caught. It might’ve been because it involved the Einsteins, and it was cool reading about their early life, as well as their later life in the Author’s Note. I love the Author’s Note in all of the books, it just gives you the fascinating history behind the story. I also really like the idea of time freezing; it sounds like a made-up thing, but this book makes it seem real. Then there’s the part where Mileva sees her daughter eleven years older than she was a second before. Imagine that happening to you; I think you would at least have a heart attack. There are so many interesting concepts in this book that it makes you think. Haddix is a very great author and I am glad she has redeemed herself with this novel that is hard to stop reading. So, find out if history collapses and read this book!

Imagine a life, isolated, no exposure to the outside world or any life. Then the third book in the shadow children series: Among the Betrayed by: Margaret Peterson Haddix is just for you! Join Nina in her quest to escape the dark room known as her jail cell. This book carries on from the second book in the series, Among the Barons and continues on the path of Nina Idi, an illegal child looking for a way to escape the prison. Can you imagine being betrayed by your closest friends? Then this book is a prime example. Nina being betrayed, turned in by her own friends and even the boy she had kissed days prior her arrest. Is pure torment to her. Imagine being forced against your will to be chained against a wall and suffer with pure darkness. That is what it feels to be in Nina’s conditions. So I beg the question, will Nina escape her jail cell? Will she ever be reunited with her friends and family? Will the population police kill her? All these questions all have answers!

This book was so well written, I couldn’t put it down!!😆 I’m a 9th grader and the story kept me captivated the whole time. There are some darker parts and adventure so if your not into that, don’t read. Overall one of my favorite books!!!

I love it so much it's one of my favorite books on Earth

Hocus and Pocus is one book that catches the reader. Normal books have paragraphs bunched together and you just scan the text, but this book made the reader feel spectacular because it had the difference- but this time not in topic or climax, but the whole book is different in this situation. It gives readers a sense of wonder and delight in this adventure with Hocus or Pocus, and this book put a lot of effort making some pages related to the others, and it is a book in which the hard work put into it definitely extracted a sweet reward. I loved reading this book and I re-read it at least 20 times,
