E. L. Konigsburg is one of my favorite authors. This story was about one girl named Claudia, and one boy named Jamie. They decide to run away from their house because they think their parents were too bossy to them. They decide to run away to the Metropolitan Museum, which was kind of weird in my personal way. It was amazing how they didn't get noticed in the beginning, but at the end, they get to a newspaper and got caught from their parent's notice to to the FBI. I love this book. Out of 100, I would give this book 100.

In this book Derek is a kid who doesn't like reading and is a trouble kid. Though he is a trouble kid he still does read or try to be good. One time hiding from his mom he discovered a secret about a old baby sitter and how she died. In the summer he tries to find out everything he can, but .... he finds out to a little to much. Stuff like on how he is still ALIVE! Or on how the mother of the baby sitter lived a lie or on how the baby sitters best friend was he only person who knew the truth. Well, at least he now knows that his dog actually saved him. Now since he loves to draw he goes and draws the book he read and telling stories he told his class. (YOU SHOULD READ IT TO UNDERSTAND!)

I think this book is fair because it’s suspenseful. The main character, Daniel, has just moved to West Virginia with his family. Daniel and his little sister, Erica, suspect something suspicious around their house and they feel like someone’s always watching them. Old Auntie, an evil witch that lives nearby, spies on them. She plans to take Erica and use her as a servant for 50 years and then let her go, like she did for other girls. Daniel’s family doesn’t believe in Old Auntie, but everybody in their town says that she’s real. Old Auntie lured Erica into her cabin through a doll that Erica always talks to about Old Auntie, although nobody else can hear it. Daniel and Erica go into the woods, where Old Auntie lives because they were searching for Erica’s doll. Erica runs away because Daniel was being mean to her, and then later gets taken by Old Auntie. Daniel goes to one of Old Auntie’s descendants, who wanted to help him, and learns the only way to get his sister back. Daniel learns that Old Auntie is real when he confronts her, and takes her sister back and runs home. I think that this book could be better, because the end isn’t interesting. In the resolution, Daniel gets his sister back and Old Auntie is destroyed. If Old Auntie was still chasing after Daniel, the story could be more interesting if everybody saw Old Auntie, especially Daniel’s parents. Also, if the story didn’t end the way Daniel wanted it to end, it wouldn’t be as boring. It’s almost like a fairy tale, because it ends happily and it has an unrealistic character in it. I think that this book would have a good cliffhanger which would be able to start another book, but the author ended it in a way that makes readers not think or wonder about the book at all afterwards.

Jonathan Grisby has done something horrible. And he's willing to accept whatever punishment is coming his way. That made him get in Slabhenge Reformatory School for Troubled Boys. Not really a school; an ancient island. In Slabhenge, you don't write essays about your summer. You don't have recess. You don't read books. You don't have science labs and classes- all you do is work, work, work. And what I mean by ''work'' is cleaning the bedrooms, cleaning the bathrooms, cleaning the kitchens, and scrubbing the floors. But then something abrupt happens. All the adults get stuck by lightning and die. So now that they have freedom, they plan to wait for the boat, explain what happened, and go home. But Jonathan has other ideas. He tells the boys, why don't we stay here? We can live on our own, no rules, and nobody will look at us and think ''troublemakers''. First, the boys think it's a crazy idea. But then they think about it. But first of all- they need a new name- ''Scar Island''. When Sebastian, this kid who also agreed to the idea, starts acting like he's the boss, he gets angry at Jonathan for making him look bad. They make Jonathan go do one of the chores, but he discovers a library. ''You cannot leave a library. Without a book.'' But when a terrible hurricane comes, Scar Island is going under water. The librarian told them to use the lighthouse. So now they would get saved and go home. This book is so good! I feel the characters and this book actually connects a bit to my life. I could feel the way Dan Gemeinhart was expressing his characters. I definitely would give this book a 5/5 rating. Highly recommended.

Kinda old fashioned but still, These are clean and awesome. Baby sitters club books are from a long time ago, but I've always been known for loving old books.

Cammie Morgan is not your average girl. She goes to a school for spies. But when she meets a regular boy, who thinks she's a normal girl, she's left with one big blank. This book is wonderful, and I'm glad I read it. Full of action, and well-written, this book can be for anyone.

I LOVED LOVED LOVED this book and this was the reason I kept reading the series. I was SUPER sad when I couldn't find the last book! :'( So basically there is this regular teenage girl-wait, what did you say? Oh sorry *cough cough* regular teenage SPY girl. Cammie Morgan's mother is the headmistress of Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women. (A spy school in other words) The girls there know a TON of different languages, take tai kwon do in P.E, and a lot of other cool stuff. But there is one thing that the school HASN'T trained Cammie for-dealing with a regualar teen boy crush.

Back in 1890s, there is two children, their names are, Maks Geless, the 13-years-old and one girl who just saved Maks` life from the gang called, Plug Uglies Gang, her name is Waddah "Willa" Brunswick. Many months before Maks met Willa, her father, Mr. Brunswick left her, after Willa`s mother`s death, so I think that Willa and Mr. Brunswick are father and daughter for each other. The name of Waddah is from Germany, then when Willa moved to U.S. her name is changed to the name of Willa. Maks` sister, Emma, was arrested, taken to the jail, because some rich man, (possibly Mr. Brunswick) accused her of stealing the watch, for which Emma didn`t, so, the Geless family relied on Maks and Willa about solving the mystery of Emma`s arrest. Maks and Willa met an detective, Mr. Donock, who is almost deaf, was gravely ill but he did teach Maks how to be a boy detective. There`s a gang what is called "Plug Uglies Gang", its leader, Bruno, and his gang was after the "newsie" (the newspaper kids). Then in the ending, the two men, Bruno and Mr. Brunswick was killed, Bruno shot and killed Mr. Brunswick and Mr. Packwood (Mr. Donock`s detective friend) shot and killed Bruno, in the hotel what called, Waldorf Hotel. This book shows the readers about 1890s and the children having to work, to earn some money for their families. I rate this 5 stars and I will totally recommend this book!
