Greenglass House
By Kate Milford
Milo Pine looks forward to spending his winter break drinking hot chocolate and hanging out with his parents at Greenglass House, the inn they run. But no such luck. As soon as Milo finishes his homework, the doorbell rings—and in comes a strange guest named Mr. Vinge. Milo’s disappointed...but one guest’s not such a big problem, is it? Turns out, he’s wrong. Soon, guests are pouring in through the doors of Greenglass House, each with their own mysterious reasons for coming to the inn. There’s Georgie Moselle, the blue-haired girl who loves photography; Mrs. Hereward and Dr. Goverwine, the total opposites who are always arguing; and Clem Candler, a cheerful lady who claims to be a thief. When things start to get fishy, and a mystery plot set up by one of the guests sucks everyone in, Milo must find out what’s happening—and fast. Along with his new friend Meddy, he discovers more secrets—and answers to his deepest questions. Can he and Meddy solve the mystery of who has been stealing from the guests and framing them? Read this book to find out! Overall, I liked this book, and rate it 4/5 stars. I recommend Greenglass House for anyone who doesn’t mind a little slowness, but likes a good mystery book.
Mustaches for Maddie
By Chad Morris, Shelly Brown
(Thanks DOGObooks for choosing me to win this book) *Deep breath* Welcome to my first DOGObooks book review of 2018. Mustaches for Maddie is a great book. It made me want to laugh, and cry, at the same time. Maddie is such a brave and imaginative person in hard times, and makes this book one of the best (It made its way onto my list of Top Books). This is the first book I've read like this. It's really, really good. I highly recommend this book for you :) You NEED to read it. Trust me, you won't be able to put it down (OR at least I wasn't able to). The only thing possibly wrong with this book is that - - well, she "Goes off on a tangeant" as a character in another book would say. She's talking about potatoes, porkiporasauruses (Not sure how to spell/say that), red hair, and I think you get my point. That shouldn't deter you though! As I said earlier, this is a GREAT BOOK. -UniPuppy reviews OUT
Claudia and the World's Cutest Baby (Babysitters Club)
By Ann M. Martin
this book was amazing! not the best babysitters club book i have read, but i do recommend it for any babysitter club friends! its about claudia, she is having a newborn cousin! she becomes her godmother. claudias duty as a godmother is to spend every second of spare time she has with her, right? claudia starts to worry that she's spending too much time with her that her aunt and uncle don't like her anymore! if you like a book with surprises this one is for you. something i have to say about this though is that there isn't a lot of babysitting besides for journal writing. so if you are a fan of books with loads of babysitting, maybe pick a another book.

Thea Stilton #19: Thea Stilton and the Chocolate Sabotage

Pretty illustrations, invigorating writing, enigmatic fonts...need I say any more? The 19th installment of this beautiful series follows the Thea Sisters in Mexico as they visit their friends' chocolate factory! All seems well until someone begins sabotaging the factory's batter and confections. Could it be their friends' biggest rival, or someone closer to their heart?

One time aliens attacked Earth making everyone zombie nerds. George and Harold have Captain Underpants super power juice to save the world.
Here's To You, Rachel Robinson
By Judy Blume
The sequel to, "Just as Long as We're Together," is told in Rachel's perspective. It was pretty good, not one of my favorite Judy Blume books, but I still liked it. Rachel's older brother Charles had been sent to boarding school but he got expelled and is now living with Rachel and her family again. Rachel is fed up with him and feels like he is tearing her family apart. She just wants something good to happen in her life, but she doesn't feel like talking to her friends about her problems.
Above World
By Jenn Reese
Aluna has lived her entire life under the sea. She is a Coral Kampii - a splinter of humans that came to live in the sea generations ago to escape the horrors and dangers of the above world. She is only a day away from getting her tail and being confined to the water forever when she sees her friend floating dead in the water. Her breathing shell - the shells attached to their throats that allow them to breathe under water - had broken, causing her to drown. When she reports it to the Elders, she is surprised at their obstinance: ‘no one will venture out to the Above World’, they say, ‘no one will go looking for HydroTek, the tech company that made the necklaces’, ‘these deaths were just accidents’. Aluna knows the survival of her fellow Kampii and the city are in danger so she rejects her tail and escapes above in a last effort to save her people (and escape the fate that they’ve laid out for her - who wants to stay at home safe all day so she can rear children? She wants to be a hunter!) But can Aluna and her tech-savvy best friend Hoku survive in a world full of dangerous no-longer-humans, modified to live in their extreme environments as a cause of overcrowding and save their city too? This is a dystopian novel set in a world so far in the future where overpopulation has led humans to adapt to live in harsher environments - growing tails, wings, horse hooves, etc. It’s a very engaging story and is very suspenseful, kind of scary, but very exciting. It teaches to think beyond the set boundaries and to think before you act. Loyalty and friendship were very evident themes and the technology was like a kind of magic. I think this is a great read that most kids should enjoy.
Captain Underpants and the Big, Bad Battle of the Bionic Booger Boy, Part 1: The Night of the Nasty Nostril Nuggets (Captain Underpants #6)
By Dav Pilkey
This book was fantastic but out of 5 stars I will choose 4. I really loved George’s and Harold’s invention. I thought it was funny how Bionic Booger Boy doesn’t like tissues but he likes water. I also loved how creative George and Harold are when they make comic books. It is interesting how even though Melvin hates George and Harold they just mind their own business. I also loved how they always stick together when it comes to a problem. When I saw this book there was a show on it so I watched it and it was amazing just like the book. I really recommend you to read the book if you like comedy books.
