Horton Halfpott: or, The Fiendish Mystery of Smugwick Manor; or, The Loosening of M'Lady Luggertuck's Corset
By Tom Angleberger
Tom Angleberger strikes again! Horton Halfpott is a fun book, it keeps you thinking. After I read Fake Mustache, I thought that Tom Angleberger writes really well, so I picked this book up. It was, like Fake Mustache, awesome! He is very creative in his writing, and I’d read one of his books anytime. The characters in this story are very funny. I’d have to say M’Lady Luggertuck has a very unique personality. Lately, I’ve been choosing books by their covers. So, I looked at who did the cover art and it was Gilbert Ford. Then I looked at the other two books I checked out and it was… GILBERT FORD! I love his artwork. It’s just so unique and quirky the way he draws. And for this book, there were also illustrations of the characters by Tom Angleberger. His drawings are quirky and cool. So, who stole the Luggertuck Lump? Find out in Horton Halfpott!

By Katie Finn
I thought this was a great book! But i defiantly reccomend it to people who are 12 and older because there were some inappropriate parts. So Madison {Mad} is on her school's "Status Q" where you can post a status and talk to other people. So Mad is always updating her status. She's also been put in charge of her school's prom which makes things completely crazy. One day, during viewing the prom room they meet Isabel, who's hosting their rivial school's prom on the floor upstairs from them. Dr. Trent, Mad's principal also gives her an important job: to give the hotel manager the prom queen's crown, which her friend steals and gives to Isabel. So now its up to Mad and her friends: Mark, Sarah, Dave, Glen, Ginger, Brian, Kittson, and Schuyler to save the crown during the prom and without getting caught!
The Extraordinary Cases of Sherlock Holmes (Puffin Classics)
By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
The mystery is incredible, and the story keeps you guessing. Also, all the stories are different. It is awesome how the stories are written too. If you read these and liked them, then you should watch BBC's Sherlock.
Vanished Books One & Two: When Lightning Strikes; Code Name Cassandra
By Meg Cabot
Jessica Mastriani was just an ordinary girl, but when she gets struck by lightning everything changes. She is now able to locate missing children, but later realizes that not all children want to be found. Then, the "feds" come to her and try to persuade her to come to the supposedly closed 'Crane Military Base'. She later realizes that she needs to help future kidnapped children. So, Rob Wilkins, the grit, breaks her out of the military infirmary. Now they are on the run from the military with no where to turn. She needs to decide if she should hide or keep her new special powers. I like this book because it is very mysterious and suspenseful. Also, it was very relate able because of the different internal and external conflicts that she has to deal with. I could not put the book down. I highly recommend this book.
