Michael Vey: The Prisoner of Cell 25
By Richard Paul Evans
The author of the book Michael Vey the Prisoner of Cell 25 by Richard Paul Evans is a science fiction book. The book (in my opinion) was a 10/10 would read again kind of book. It was just the right thing for me, it had plenty of action and it had lots of suspense. This is just the kind of book you would get if you wanted action and suspense. The first character introduced is Michael Vey, a bullied daily, short kid. He also only has one friend, Ostin, a chubby little Einstein. But their life changes when they meet Taylor, a popular cheerleader. You're probably wondering, “how did everything change for them??” Well, Michael has an electricity power, as seen on the cover of the book. (And told at the beginning too.) when Michael meets Taylor, it's when he was being bullied and getting dog piled. When he had enough of it, he shocked the three of the bullies. But what he didn't know, was that Taylor saw it all. Then, Taylor runs back inside the school, and the chapter ends there. Later on, when Michael and Taylor are friends, he find out that Taylor can “reboot” people. (Reboot as in, restarting your computer.) then, when Taylor tries to look up her birth documents, (because they were lost and she was adopted.) the Elgen academy finds her. Michael and Ostin don't know this at first but when they do find out, they get even more worried because Michael's mom was kidnapped on his birthday party by Elgen academy, and now, Taylor was gone. If you’re still not interested, this book is just as good as the Percy Jackson series! It would be a perfect match for anyone that likes that series! In conclusion, the book, Michael Vey, The Prisoner of Cell 25 is a great book for people that like action and lots of suspense.
Spy Camp (Spy School)
By Stuart Gibbs
This book is the second book in the series of Spy School. Ben Ripley, a first-year at the Spy School, had almost been killed by a secret organisation called SPYDER. After the school year, he finds that he is going to Spy Camp! He also finds a mysterious note in his room that said: Hey Ben! Just wanted you to know we’ll be coming for you soon. Your Pals at SPYDER. He shares this with Erica Hale, who worked with him in the first case with SPYDER (in the first book), and also his friend Tina Cuevo, who will be going to Vancouver this year. When he gets to Spy Camp, however, 3 students: Jawa, Warren and Zoe (Ben’s best friend) find out about the secret organisation. Hank, Ben’s counsellor at the camp, and another student named Claire from the M1 - 6 academy in England also find out about SPYDER. One day, the famous agent Alexander Hale, (Erica’s father) comes to pick up Ben and Erica joins them. Soon Ben finds out that Alexander is actually is a big coward and all the crimes he’s done, someone else did the work and he just took credit for it. They visit a place where some men are reacting the Civil War. Soon Erica’s grandfather, Cyrus Hale, joins them and defeats the SPYDER agents. But soon, Cyrus and Erica are captured. Alexander seems ashamed because he knows why SPYDER wants his father, he knows the nuclear missile codes! And SPYDER wants to launch a missile to Camp David, where the president of the US and other representatives of state are. Soon, Warren, Zoe, Hank ands Claire join them. Remember the letter SPYDER agents sent Ben? There was a tiny bit of coal attached to it and Ben finds out that the coal belongs to a coal mine nearby! And it might be SPYDER’s base! They persuade Alexander to come too, and off they go! Once they get there, they find out that there are 3 missiles waiting to launch! Unfortunately, Alexander was bluffing when he said that he could stop a missile from launching. He goes with Ben’s friends to find Erica and Cyrus, which leaves only Ben to deal with the missile. Murray Hill, an evil SPYDER agent, and Joshua Halall, another evil agent, threaten to kill Ben. He tricks them and he breaks the power cord to the missile. Unfortunately, the missile explodes and everybody flees. Eventually Murray Hill gets left in the base (because his running was so slow), and Joshua dies when he falls off a cliff. Everyone cheers, and they celebrate their great victory! Erica says that she owes Ben her life, and maybe the two have became closer! Find out more in the next book!
Not If I Save You First
By Ally Carter
This book is interesting. It is very suspenseful and funny. But it is a little uncomfortably romantic. I would warn that from the summary the book gives, you don't know that it is pretty much a romance book. Other than that, I really liked this book. Maddie is not a normal girl. Her father is the Secret Service for the POTUS. And Maddie is friends with the POTUS's son, Logan. But after a life changing event, Maddie and her father must leave Washington D.C. and move to Alaska. That means leaving Logan. In Alaska, Maddie is a new person. She's tough, strong, and confident. Maddie, over the years, has tried to keep in contact with Logan but he has never written back. Maddie finally forgets about Logan. But one day, Logan shows up in Alaska. Maddie is ready to hate him, but inwardly she still misses him. After he gets kidnapped in Alaska, Maddie must make the decision to save him and reconcile. This book is pretty good. I think it would have been better if there weren't romantic parts but that is just my opinion. I suggest it if you like girl-power, romance, adventure and friendship. Happy reading!

Miss Peregrines Home For Peculiar Children
By Ransom Riggs
This book is the perfect pick for anyone who likes slightly-spooky mysteries with amazing endings. I completely and totally loved this book. After receiving it from a Dogo freebie last year, I've read it at least 5 times because it was so amazing. Jacob follows his grandfather's mysterious last words to go to a loop, with a bird, September 3rd, 1940. He soon finds himself on the small island of Cairnholm, in which he tracks down the big children's home his grandfather had sought refuge in during World War II. Jacob finds the place wrecked and crumbling, until he finds a trunk filled to the brim with the fantastically eery photographs his grandfather had shown him of his children's home friends, who all had a peculiar ability. Jacob had always thought they were fairy tales... until he stumbles through a cairn bog and finds himself in September 3rd, 1940. All the kids from the photographs are there. And they all have peculiar abilities, like levitation, super strength, futuristic dreams... Is Jacob one of them? Jacob goes through a spectacular journey to figure out what happened to his grandfather, who these children are and why they are still alive, and ultimately, how to find himself. In this amazing book, you will meet unforgettable characters and stories that will make you race to find the sequel. This is one of my favorite books, and I'm sure you will enjoy it too. Because of the occasional spookiness and language, I recommend this book for ages 12 and up.
Squirm
By Carl Hiaasen
“This Summer, Billy dickens will fly across the country, hike a mountain, float a river, dodge a grizzly bear, shoot down a spy drone, save a neighbour’s cat, save an endangered panther, and then try to save his own father.” As soon as I saw these words I knew this was the book for me. And I was right! I love Carl Hiaasen’s books, he is such a creative writer and I loved Billy, his sister Belinda, and his mom who was this weird obsession was eagles, and his dad who has this super dangerous catching poachers job and Little Thunder-sky, “Lil” for short, and lastly, my favourite, Summer. She’s Lil’s daughter and also Billy’s father’s daughter. You should definetely read this book!
