Guest: A Changeling Tale
By Mary Downing Hahn
This book surprised, as I usually find spooky books doing, such as Coraline. I set out preparing to be totally spooked out and bored, but it actually intrigued me... I left out the last star simply because while it was a fascinating read, it did not inspire me to do anything. All in all, worth the time, not my favorite, but that's just me.

The Last Present (Willow Falls)
By Wendy Mass
I absolutely love the Willow Falls series. I have read every book so far, including this one. The ending is sad, but completely surprising. Grace isn't in a coma, and the doctor can't seem to figure out what's wrong. Amanda and Leo must travel back to every one of Grace's birthdays and fix a problem. The cool bit is that their appearances change every time they o back in time. One birthday they are blond and tan, the next black hair and dark skin. They certainly go on an adventure of a lifetime! Plus, Amanda and Leo share a secret _ _ _ _. Read the book to find out it's awesomeness!

The Inquisitor's Tale: Or, The Three Magical Children and Their Holy Dog
By Adam Gidwitz
This story is about three children and one dog who have the adventure of a lifetime. Jenna is just a regular pheasant girl-until she starts having visions of the future. After she protects her Gwen, the dog and also a saint, who happened to come back to life after years of death, she is put on the wanted list and goes on the run. Jacob is a Jewish boy who can heal any wound. After some teen thugs set fire onto the Jewish part of town, he goes to try and finding his parents. William is a dark and very large young monk, who has supernatural strength. He sets off to deliver a set of books to another monastery after he is kicked out of his own. When the children meet they join forces, and set off on an incredible adventure, full of danger, nobility, and conflict. This was a very interesting medieval tale. There were so many little details about life during that time period, you could tell the author researched a lot. I also liked that there were relatable problems in the book, even though they were in a different century. Problems dealing with race, prejudice, and religion were throughout the book. I have never read a book like this before. Each chapter was told by a different narrator, and it was told in the sense that the storytellers were at a pub, just sitting around, telling their part. Sometimes it was confusing, if you didn’t pay attention the the title you didn’t know who was speaking. For some people I am sure that it would be pure frustration and they would give up almost immediately. Somehow for me though, it worked. I liked knowing the story from different points of view, and for most of the book they are telling it after it has already happened. I also thought the illustrations were cool. The way the book was formatted was that there were larger margins, and all the drawings were stretched along side the words. Sometimes the pictures made sense, or like the illustrator warns us at the beginning they are random, and are like a doodle book. I recommend this book to older elementary students and middle school students, especially those who enjoy reading about medieval culture. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.
The Apothecary (The Apothecary Series)
By Maile Meloy
OMG! This book is super good. It melted sense, but not really. Warning: if you want to read this book, there will be spoilers ahead. Anyways, Janie is a partially normal girl who lives in the U.S., in California. One day, there was a black car following her. She asked her parents about it. Then, her parents basically told her they were communists, and that the government was watching them. Also they were going to have to move to the U.K. So they move, and they get a pretty run down place. Janie starts going to school there, and meets Benjamin Brussels, the apothecary's son. Pretty soon, Benjamin asks her on a 'chess date'. Turns out it was for spying. Janie, who had sometime in the beginning of the book gone to the Apothecary's and heard Benjamin and his father arguing. Benjamin never wanted to be an apothecary. As the book goes on (sorry, I'm going to skip a bunch) they find out that the avian elixir works, three amazing scientists figure out how to stop/contain the atomic bomb, and they meet a pickpocket in jail (that's a long story), and they stow away on a bpboatat, being invisible. So pretty much, this book was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
