You Have To Stop This (Secret (Pb))
undefined
This book is really good! On the challenging scale, I would rate it a 3 - just right! The summary of this book is basically about how Cass and Max-Ernest save the world, I guess. They steal the ring from Lord Pharaoh and Cass learns the Secret. By the way, the secret is - actually, I can't tell you! My favorite part (yet it was also my least favorite part - so aggravating!)was when Cass learns the Secret. It turns out that the Secret was just a joke! Argh!!! I would recommend this book to 3rd to 7th grade.

You Have to Stop This (The Secret Series)
By Pseudonymous Bosch
I totally LOVE the secret series, it's super funny but it's mysterious too! Then there's tons of cool, magical things and creatures! The book is about two boys, Yo-Yoji, Max-Ernest (the boy with 2 names) and one girl, Cassandra, and on a trip to a museum, Cassandra accidentally breaks a finger off a mummy, and this led them to an adventure, and in the end of the book, they found out The Secret, a secret that was hunted down for centuries.

Mysteries in Our National Parks: Wolf Stalker: A Mystery in Yellowstone National Park
By Gloria Skurzynski, Alane Ferguson
Wolf Stalker is one of those books that you can't find anything bad to say about, but it's not Newbery award material. It has some charm to it, with somewhat interesting characters with whom you can relate to, accompanied by a nice, stable plot, but it doesn't stand out from the hundreds of thousands of books out there, and it'll probably never think about it now that it's done and read. You're being too harsh, you say, what with the plot being about saving a supposedly-bloodthirsty wolf, uncovering secrets, a grumpy foster kid, and an evil dude, but even with all those features, Wolf Stalker just isn't phenomenal or mind-blowing, although it does have a good message about preserving the world we live in and the animals that live in it with us. I liked it, and I'd say ages elementary through middle school will enjoy it.
This Isn't What It Looks Like (The Secret Series)
By Pseudonymous Bosch
This book is really good! On the challenging scale, I would rate it a 3 - just right! This book is basically about how Cass eats Mr Hugo’s chocolate, and then goes into the past. She finds the Jester and does a bunch of stuff to prepare her to go back to the future. She makes sure the Jester and Anastasia leave her a box with the Secret in it. They do, but then the hieroglyphics rapidly turn to dust! What is Cass going to do? The author leaves us with a terrible cliffhanger! What is going to happen? Find out in the next book… yup, I’m also advertising - just kidding! I would recommend this book to 3rd to 7th graders.
Among the Hidden (Shadow Children Book 1)
By Margaret Peterson Haddix
What would you do if you are a shadow child, and how would you face all of the problems in your life? According to luke he’s not able to go by the windows, can’t eat with his family has to eat on the stairs, and he has to stay in his room all day and night doing nothing, can’t play music, but maybe has toys. “Told you before. We didn't have a choice. Government wanted it. You can't tell the government no.”-margaret peterson haddix. Among the hidden. This book takes place in the past. The government only allows two children to be born in each family and they control every aspect of the citizens’ lives under its rule. And they monopolize the community by taking away their land, among other things, families having more than two children are forced to hide their third born child for fear of service consequences. The hidden children are labeled as shadow children because they are forced to hide in the shadows of their own homes Luke garner, the main character is the third born child in his family. He lives in the darkness in his home so he don't get discovered, that is, until he meets Jen And the biggest conflict is that he's not supposed to be alive as the government said “There will be consequences if someone has a third child.” I would recommend this to people who like mystery and science fiction.
The Egypt Game
By Zilpha Keatley Snyder
In this book, six sixth-graders form their own secret society devoted to Egypt-related things. In the beginning, April moves from Hollywood to an unspecified Californian city famous for its university–her mother is busy pursuing a career as an esteemed actress. April, considered eccentric by many, makes friends with Melanie, who lives in April's grandmother's apartment; they discover their shared interest for imagining, and they invent the titular Egypt Game. Melanie's younger brother, a girl living in the apartment, and two boys from school all become involved in the Egypt game. But soon, a murder occurs, and the children are all cautioned to stay indoors–and the main suspect is the Professor, the reclusive man, in whose storage yard the Egyptians worship Egyptian Gods. Who is this strange human? And, who is the real criminal? This is a great book, full of good dialogue and realistic characters. It's witty and the writing is good too, but at times it seems a little dated, such as when the characters say "fink" and other weird words (this was written in 1967). I would recommend this book to people who like realistic fiction, as it focuses more on the friendships developing between the Egyptians than the actual mystery, though it is still important to the plot.
