The Nocturnals: The Mysterious Abductions

By Tracey Hecht

I just read something about this new series - looks cool. I love animal adventure books!

Swagger

Swagger

By Carl Deuker

The book I read is called"Swagger" by Carl Deuker and it is really good! The settings in this book are at the basketball court, at Jonas's house and at school. Jonas was the main character in the story and he loves to play basketball. His position is point guard, he gets requested to go to college because of his basketball skills. He doesn't know that his coach is weird and makes one of his students do some weird things. The turning point in the book is when he knows that his dad is getting better from a work injury, because he really cares for his dad. The antagonist in the book is Hartwell because he is the bad guy in the book who does bad things to Jonas's best friend Levi. The protagonist is Jonas because he is the main character of the book and he has to deal with a lot of things in his life like his dad getting hurt and his friend Levi that he has to deal with. I recommend this book to 7th grade and up because it has some harder words to read. I hope you liked this review and read this book.

I've read it over and over again!

False Notes (Nancy Drew: All New Girl Detective #3)

False Notes (Nancy Drew: All New Girl Detective #3)

By Carolyn Keene

Nancy Drew. Super girl sleuth. If she suspects a thing, the mystery is already guaranteed to be solved. This incredible read takes place the time around Nancy's father's birthday. At the time, a man called Mr. Granger is running unopposed for mayor. The only other person considering running is Heather Simmons, but Nancy has gotten so far to figure out that-gasp!-Heather's daughter, musician all-star, Leslie, had gone missing! Everyone says Leslie is just at a getaway, to practice for an audition at one of the most elite music schools out there. But when Leslie doesn't show up for her recital, Nancy knows something is wrong. While at Leslie's no-show recital, she meets Mrs. Sharon- another woman trying to get her daughter into college. Later, Nancy, Bess, and George, face the crazy, mishap adventures of the road when Nancy decides that she will head up to the supposed "getaway" Leslie was staying at with the Sharon's daughter, Diane. The Sharons' offered it to Leslie to go so far to retreat to practice. Sounding fishy enough yet? Yep, guess what? When Nancy finally gets to the right house, she finds Leslie all alone. By this time, they knew they were going to miss the audition. Leslie tells Nancy that Mr. Sharon was supposed to pick her up LAST night, and he had picked Diane up yesterday, so Leslie could practice longer. WHY he would take two super-long trips, I don't know! But when Nancy pointed this out Leslie, Leslie stated Diane was her best friend! Later revealed, Diane had no clue her parents had sabotaged Leslie-yep, that's what happened. When they all got home, it was Nancy's Dad's b-day. Nancy had failed to find the perfect gift until a brilliant one popped into her brain. Leslie agreed to play a surprise, beautiful piano piece for the entire party. Mr. Drew was ecstatic!!! This book was totally worth it, and I loved it to the extreme! I know when I reviewed this, there was only one other review! So, if you find this, PLEASE try it out. I highly recommend it.

Never Say Die (Alex Rider)

Never Say Die (Alex Rider)

By Anthony Horowitz

I recently finished the book, and I thought "Never Say Die" was amazing! With a new plot and mystery with every word it will keep you reading past your bedtime. Like all the Alex Rider books, Alex is pushed into working with MI6 again, resilient as always Alex disobeys Mrs.Jones orders and goes on his own mission, to rescue Jack. With new villains/antagonists and dangers this is my 3rd favorite Alex Rider book in the series. I give this book 5/5 stars, and recommend it for kids 10+. You should read the other books in the series to understand the plots in the new book. More thrills and action this new addition to the series will not leave you disappointed! My favourite Alex Rider book is Point Blanc. I hope you enjoy the "Never Say Die" book as much as I did! (PS. FOR ALL YOU DIE HARD ALEX RIDER FANS I HAVE A THEORY THE NEXT INSTALMENT WILL BE "NIGHTSHADE") Your fellow bean_boy12

How to Talk to Girls

How to Talk to Girls

By Alec Greven

OK this book is not ok for little kids and I think boys should have this book come in handy. But I just wanted to see how its like so ya. (fun fact) this book was first wrote on paper by a 4th grade boy, and the news spread and his paper writing turned into a book. And he made a how to talk to dads and a how to talk to moms book and I think he should make a how to talk to siblings book. But I enjoyed this book but it was not really ok for little kids. So I think I'll rate this book a 4 star.
