Kids Books - Nature

Really great book about all the dragon fanatics out there. The story line and characters are great and descriptions within the text makes you feel like you are inside the book.

it has a lot of action anda lt of suppence

this book is awesome! its about these smart twins and how theyre father is an inventor. The twins get kidnapped so that their father could give one of the inventions to the kidnappers. the twins have to figure out a way to escape. i love books like this one because it has some mystery/ action/ pure awesomeness in the book. i recommend this book to anyone.

This book I recommend for all ages because it's unique special and it has a lot of personality in the writing. It tells the story of three sisters that all are very different and don't get along too well. The oldest has boy drama and lots of other fun things.

MEGA SPOILER ALERTS! (Warned you..) The thing is, I'm not big on science. Or movies. *collective gasp* I'm more interested in other things, and reading is one of them. When I first picked up this book, I had a lot of uncertainty and prejudice because well, I just didn't like any of the things the front and back cover talked about.. Consider my opinion absolutely flipped. I love this book - it's not just the same plot used over and over again in books, it's actually something fresh and new, with mystery wrapped into one big huge package. As the story unfolds, it keeps on getting better and my curiosity kept on building and building until - boom - the climax! (You should prepare to drop your jaw, it's that surprising). Anyway, on with the summary (which is the spoiler part.) Apparently this book is the latest in a series (got to remember to borrow one of the other books in the series, because I haven't read any of them..) Nick and Tesla are kid detectives. Their parents went missing while on a mission. Nick's mind is fully occupied on the problem and he is trying to find information or evidence about their parents by searching on the computer 24/7. Tesla wants to take her mind off of the looming problem by doing experiments and things like that - because she's afraid of what will happen if Tesla and Nick interfere. Anyway, Nick reluctantly helps Tesla build a camera for their friend (and action-flick maniac) Silas, who is directing-producing-writing-and-acting his own small film, Bald Eagle. Their other best friend, DeMarco, promises to take everyone onto the set of "Metalman," (rip-off of Iron Man.) How, you ask? Why, his aunt is the line producer of Metalman, which is directed by Cash Ashkinos, Silas' favorite director! While at the set, Nick and Tesla notice protesters making up horrible chants about the star of Metalman, Damon Wilder. Shortly after, the foursome oversee one of Damon Wilder's scenes.. and he goes wild? Damon Wilder goes absolutely bonkers during the scene, but when they investigate the armor, they find orange stuff all over it! They think it's definitely itching powder, which is really serious and causes your body to itch like crazy? Who could have done such a thing - and it's narrowed down to three suspects. Throughout the book, Nick and Tesla investigates the trailers and rooms of the three suspects, and even Damon Wilder's trailer.. but is able to find nothing but a draft of the script Damon Wilder and Jack Wiltrout (the writer of the movie) is working on. They also find out that the protesters were yelling about Damon Wilder because of a viral video online. The viral video online showed Damon Wilder hurting people, screaming, and "acting" (pun intended) even worse than the itching powder incident. Don't you think they have full right to think that he's kind of crazy + really hurtful and shouldn't deserve to be the star? Meanwhile, someone inside the set wants to sabotage DeMarco's Aunt Zoe's movie and fire Aunt Zoe and Cash Ashkinos? What do they do to solve the mystery now? They do just what Nick and Tesla, the genius detectives would do. They play Sudoku against a security guard, go dumpster diving, use a grappling hook to retrieve all kinds of stuff, fly a stunt dummy named Michael, wear zombie makeup and pretend to be an extra, sneak inside trailers, watch viral videos of crazy actors, and just about everything you can think of.. but will they make it? Will they save Aunt Zoe and Cash Ashkinos' movie and propel them toward the Hollywood path.. or will they push them backward into a pit of car-washing commercials? But what about the phrase, "Pay or Play?" It's the key to everything and you can get to the bottom of this all even before Nick and Tesla do! Extras: What I especially like was all the step-to-step instructions about how to make the props that Nick and Tesla used, like a stunt double and even the zombie makeup (Cool!) I rate this book 5 stars.. it's amazing! If you like Sudoku, Hollywood, movies, adventure, mystery, suspense, totally awesome characters, zombie makeup, stunt doubles, geniuses, and more.. then read this book! If you don't like any of those things, just try it. You might be in for a surprise like I was :)

In this book Nick and Tesla, two twins, help their friend Silas find his father's quite valuable stolen comic book in order to save his store Hero Worship, Inc. With the help of their Uncle Newt, a brilliant but quirky character, the twins build their own robots which are used to recover the comic book and then are used to defend against the thief and his own army of robots! This is the second book of the series. The neat thing about this story is that it contains instructions and blueprints for five different robot projects that actually work. My son and I are currently building the Explorer Bot and so far it has been a fun venture

This is the third book in The Clone Chronicles, Fisher Bas discovers there is now a THIRD copy of him... but this third copy is not nice, he is downright evil! However, I liked the other two better. This book was way too predictable, but still...awesome!

This is the first book in the clone chronicles. It is about a scientist kid named Fisher Bas, who always gets pushed around in his school, so he creates a clone to go to school for him. Somehow, the clone, named Two, becomes very popular in his school.

Thank you to Egmont USA for sending me this free copy of the book for winning a giveaway on DogoBooks. Fisher Bas is recovering from his battle; and Two went missing. One day a few weeks later, Fisher receives a note from Two that says he is searching for his mother (Spot-Rite ad woman) in Hollywood. With Two missing, what will happen? With a two day class field trip coming up in Hollywood, Fisher goes to whatever limits he can to find Two; only to find out he’s become a YouTube sensation and goes by a new stage name, Basley Bas. In a funny, quirky sequel, Cloneward Bound is the story of a desperate 6th grader in Hollywood doing whatever it takes to get his clone back and not get noticed. What I thought about it: Cloneward Bound was a truly fabulous book. I actually think I liked it more than the first book. This book ups the action and the suspense, and is a pefect companion to the first book. I thought the setting was very awesome: Hollywood, with fake music and television celebrities. Also the cover is great, and I think it is so funny that Fisher is getting hellos from famous people and everyone thinks he is an internet sensation even though he isn’t. Fisher is frantically trying to figure out a solution to his clone being popular so he, himself, isn’t the center of attention. So, very interesting themes in this story, and a lovely plot. Can’t wait for the final book in the series!
