The Austere Academy (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 5)
By Lemony Snicket
I love A Series of Unfortunate Events! I think this is my favorite book in the series. The Baudelaires have been sent to an evil villain, a reptile enthusiast, a woman who's afraid of everything, and a man called Sir who apparently does not know what child labor laws are, and now they are sent to a wretched boarding school. Vice Principal Nero is a violin-obsessed, mimicking, and very, very rude person. The orphans are forced to live in a shack with ugly wallpaper, dripping fungus, and VERY territorial crabs. However, there is one good thing about the school. They make friends with two wonderful triplets named Duncan and Isadora, who are also orphans. But when Count Olaf shows up at the school in yet another ridiculous disguise, the orphans wonder how they can ever get away from this ruthless villain. Between S.O.R.E., comprehensive exams, and owing a terrible violinist MANY bags of candy, can the Baudelaires and their friends manage to stay out of Count Olaf's clutches?
Poached (FunJungle)
By Stuart Gibbs
This is the second book in the FunJungle series by Stuart Gibbs, Teddy gets accused of stealing a koala by Large Marge, the head of security, who has a serious grudge on Teddy because he is always playing pranks. But he would never break the law! In order to prove his innocence, he has to find the real kidnapper, even though J.J. McKracken told him not to, or else he might fire his parents. Teddy, once again turns out to be smarter than Large Marge, who is so focused on busting him, she almost lets the kidnapper get away. On top of all that, he is getting bullied at school, but in the end, everything turns out fine, and Teddy even ends up at the popular table in the cafeteria. This book was all right, but I think that all of Stuart Gibbs' books are pretty much the same, it's always the same plot, same writing style, and same character personalities. My favorite series of his is Spy School, but after that it gets pretty repetitive.
The Truth About Stacey: Full-Color Edition (The Baby-Sitters Club Graphix #2)
By Ann M. Martin
This book is the second book in the baby-sitters club graphic novel series, and it is in Stacey's perspective. This time, The Baby-Sitter's Club has competition, in the form of another baby-sitters club. But this club looks way more professional and is called "The Baby-Sitters Agency." The members are older, can stay out later, and appear more responsible to the parents who need baby-sitters. This agency, however, may not actually be how it seems. Kristy, Claudia, Mary Anne, and Stacey have seen these agency members around their school and doubt that they are good baby-sitters, but they don't know how to inform the parents without looking like bad sports, so they decide to improve the club they already have and work even harder than before. It isn't until they find one of the kids, that an agency member is supposed to be baby-sitting, playing outside in the street during the cold weather that they have the proof they need. The Baby-Sitters club unites to solve a common problem and their friendship grows stronger as a result. This was a good story and a very easy read, so I would recommend it to anyone 10 and up who enjoys graphic novels.
Finding Danny
By Linzi Glass
I read a book not that long ago ,A Dog's Purpose and what I like about these books are that the both show different perspectives. Finding Danny shows the persons view, and A dog's Purpose shows the dogs view. The main character is Bree Davies a 12 year old girl, she lost her dog Danny(her support dog for when her parents are gone), after her mom accidentally left the gate open. She is on a whole adventure trying to find him and some how manages to get the most popular boy to like her ,and meet a wonderful lady that helps her along the way. Now , I have a connection to this book aswell, I couldn't keep my dog anymore so I gave her to a friend which while she as over there hopped the fence and has been gone for about 3 1/2 months.
Becoming Brianna (Emmie & Friends)
By Terri Libenson
Becoming Brianna by terri Libenson Genre: nonfiction or informational I chose # 3 because it's just right. I didn't learn anything from the book .The challenge did not help me. I didn't find anything interesting about the book. And nothing surprised me. I would recommend this book to grade 3-5 because it's not a challenging book.

Finally
By Wendy Mass
Finally is the second book in the Willow Falls series, and I sure love it! It is humorous and makes you feel as if you want to turn twelve! Happy Birthday Rory! However, Rory's life of being twelve isn't going the way she planned it to be. Firstly, she gets LOTS of medical problems. Poor Rory, she is so unlucky! Secondly, she gets what she wants…but it is not exactly how it was supposed to be. Thirdly, she ends up being attacked by a killer! Well, not exactly a killer…but you'll find out what I mean. Wendy Mass wrote this novel amazingly, and this one is definitely one of my favourites in the series.
Bad News (The Bad Books)
By Pseudonymous Bosch
I just finished a book called "Bad Luck" by Pseudonymous Bosch. The genre is fantasy because there are fantasy creatures in the book. I rated it " just right" on a scale of 1 to 5 of easy, going up to challenging. I think I would recommend this book for grades 4 to 6. I really liked this book, but it is the third in a series, so you should start with the first two which are really good too.
