It was really.good! 5 stars I hate that in ends without telling you if they make the boy a vampire or not. 😥

I liked the suspense and ideas of this topic that encouraged me to keep reading the book. I am currently reading it and its a really great book for me. My school library classifies it as historical fiction.

This is such a good book! There is a bunch of books in these series and I have read 3 of them and so-far they are really good!I recommend this book for all ages!

Karen M. McManus’ novel, One Of Us Is Lying follows the lives of five of Bayview High School’s students- Bronwyn: smart, factual, studious, and headed for Yale, Cooper: athletic, charming, confident, and the star player on Bayview’s baseball team, Addy: pampered, popular, sophisticated and one of the most envied girls at Bayview High, Nate: the highschool hoodlum, notorious drug dealer, and Juvenile Delinquent, and finally, Simon: the self-proclaimed omniscient narrator and the infamous creator of Bayview High’s gossip app About That. When they all end up in detention after school, only four of the five leave the room alive. Simon is dead- and Bronwyn, Cooper, Addy, & Nate are now prime suspects in Simon’s murder- and just before Simon was going to release a juicy About That update on every person in that room. With a rousing plotline full of twists and turns, One Of Us Is Lying is eloquently written, and an over-all brilliant book! I enjoyed the authentic characters and intrigue and would recommend it for middle school readers and up! Definitely one of the best Mystery/Suspense YA novels I’ve read in a while!

Holly Jackson’s A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder is a mystery/thriller book. It is the first in a series of 4 total books. The main character, Pip, wants to find out what really happened to Sal Singh and Andie Bell on April 18, 2014. The whole town thinks that Sal killed Andie and then himself, but Pip doesn’t think he did so she goes to ask Sal’s brother Ravi for help. So once he agrees to help her, they start their mission on ringing the killer, but there are a lot of unknowns and there are people who don’t want her to find out the truth. Though she may have to ruin some people's lives and break their trust, it’ll be worth it once she figures out the truth. The topics addressed are murder, drugs, suicide, lies, and pedophilia. I think this book was very well written because of how the author described people's emotions and actions and it also kept you at the edge of your seat. I also loved how the author made you think everyone was a suspect and I would recommend this book. I rated this book a 5/5 and I definitely am going to read the next book. “Darkness was the easiest of disguises; it made the familiar unknown and strange.”

Ever stayed at a motel. If you have or haven't then, you should go to the Wonderland motel. This is the worlds wackiest motel! The main characters are P.T. Wilkie, Gloria, grandpa, and mom.

WOW!!! That was my only reaction after reading this book! Just WOW! This book totally surprised me. Cruz Coronado lives in Hawaii and loves to surf. At least, he LIVED in Hawaii. The very exclusive Explorer Academy had accepted his application to attend... in WASHINGTON, D.C.! His deceased mother had gone when she was his age, and Cruz feels she would be proud of him going. At the Academy, they train kids and teens about how to explore. Pretty cool, right? Cruz definitely thinks so! There's augmented reality rooms to simulate what life will be like when they set sail to take an ACTUAL EXPLORATION! YEAH! They get to actually go out into the world and explore using the skills they learned at the Explorer Academy! Sounds like my kind of school!! But something sinister seems to be going on amidst all of the hubbub. Nebula (a medicine company) wants to stop the explorers from finding a special substance from jellyfish that can cure every single disease in the world, which would eventually put Nebula out of service (because no one is getting sick and buying their medicine)! LIKE, WHO WOULD DO THAT?!? Nebula is the DEFINITION of evil! And a strange man keeps popping up in Cruz's life... more like following him! Why is all of this happening to Cruz? Find out in Explorer Academy: The Nebula Secret. This book is spectacular! I loved it because it had fun codes, and awesome story and writing style, and showed how cool exploring is! I would absolutely LOVE to attend Explorer Academy! This book was overall FABULOUS! I recommend this book to anyone, at any age!

I am a huge fan of the Lunch Lady graphic novels by author Jarrett J. Krosoczka, who wrote this book, Platypus Police Squad: The Ostrich Conspiracy. This book is part story and part drawings, so kids get a nice blend of both and that sometimes helps kids read more. I know I still really like having pictures in my books. First of all, this book is like part mystery and part comedy. Detectives Zengo and O’Malley have a new case: to solve the mystery of what is going on at the scene of a film set and figure out why someone would want to do this. What does movie star Chase Mercy have to do with it, and what is the Mayor hiding? Can the Platypus Police Squad get to the bottom of this? “C’mon kid. We could use a good hot dog after all this.” There are some serous topics talked about in this book about lying, not being honest, and how important it is to take care of the environment because it can seriously affect our soil and water that we drink. I thought it was funny they use boomerangs as their police weapons. This helps keep the violence out of kids’ books. I liked this book and I think it is a book series both boys and girls will really like and read over and over!

Griffin Bing is framed for stealing a valuable Super Bowl ring, and the circumstantial evidence points to him, even though he didn't do anything! While Griffin is under his sentence, his crew tries to prove his innocence. The culprit is precisely the one who I did not expect. Korman is a master at incorporating twists, and this book is one of the best examples of this.
