M is for Mama's Boy (NERDS Book Two)

M is for Mama's Boy (NERDS Book Two)

By Michael Buckley

This book was not all that great, but it was okay. Once again, the NERDS have to face off their former teammate, Heathcliff Hodges. But it seems that the villain has an ally! Albert and "Mama" are assisting him, as well as his goon, and this might be too much for the NERDS to handle. Duncan Dewey, a member of NERDS (and NOT a traitor) might be the only hope left.

Cam Jansen: The Mystery of the Stolen Diamonds #1

Cam Jansen: The Mystery of the Stolen Diamonds #1

By David A. Adler

This book is about Jennifer who is nick-named Cam because of her photographic memory and her friend Eric. One day they were hanging outside and they saw people rushing into a jewelry store. Not long after, two people one holding a baby and one holding a rattle came out of the store. Eric thought something was up with them because he had a sister and they packed a whole diaper bag but the people coming out of the store only had a rattle. They eventually get caught and turns out the diamonds are in the rattle. I give this book a five star rating because it was an amazing book and it didn't skip around. I could relate to this book because it is about young kids that like to figure out mysteries.

Greystone Secrets #1: The Strangers

Greystone Secrets #1: The Strangers

By Margaret Peterson Haddix

This book was incredibly entertaining to read and intense. It is about the 3 Greystone kids: Chess, Emma, and Finn. One day they came home from school and discovered there were three other kids with the same first, middle, last names and birthdays. Before they could ask their mom, Kate Greystone, about it she left on a spontaneous "business trip". They are left with Ms. Morales and her daughter, Natalie. They later find out that their mom will not be coming back and could be in danger. They go through her phone and computer that she oddly left at home and discover a coded letter. As they go through the code to find out what it is they are planning to bring their om back home. This leads to one crazy, action-packed adventure. All you have to do now is read the book to find out what happens in their adventure and if they get their mom back. I would give this book a five-star rating because I could really make a movie in my head. I would recommend this book to 5th through 6th graders.

Good Dog

Good Dog

By Dan Gemeinhart

I ended my 2017 reading year with this book. And I could not have lucked out with a better one. Brodie is a dog - a very good dog - who has died. Rather than let go and move on to Forever, Brodie chooses to return to our world to save Aidan, his boy, from danger. What entails is an adventure so unique that I couldn’t put this book down. Good Dog is BEAUTIFUL. An omniscient narrator tells the story, occasionally breaking from his POV to address the reader, which connected me to Brodie and Aidan more and more. The flashbacks Brodie experienced as memories of his past with Aidan came flooding back were vivid, sometimes excruciating, and always intentional in ways that kept me guessing. Gemeinhart’s use of imagery only added to that vividness. But the best part? Brodie’s VOICE. So singular, original, and pure, highlighting the bond between this dog and his boy. I fell in love with Brodie from the jump, laughing and crying as he worked to complete his quest. He is a character I will remember forever. This book is, in my opinion, one for the middle-grade ages, teaching kids that heroism is a choice that can come in any form.
