But when they do, they realize an earthshaking secret: the lost city of Atlantis still exists, and this boy may be its prince. Throughout trying to evade mean girl Ruby, who wants to "claim" the prince, and a suspicious professor who seems to want to kidnap the boy, the Thea Sisters must figure out this mystery and get the prince home!

This book was pretty ok to me. It is about this mermaid. She gets her report card and she gets A's in everything except spelling. She is going to join this famous swim team. The couch kicks her out because she didn't get a good grade in spelling( she got an F). She has this pet named Salty. Also her mother gives her a diary. To get back on the swim team, she has to get a good grade on her next spelling test. She has to study for the test. The conflict is that she doesn't want to study. Also it takes her a long time to memorize the spelling for the words. Later she meets a group that she loves to watch. The girl that is mean to her is her favorite group's sibling. She surprisingly invites her to her party. Later they go on a field trip and discover her secret. At the end she makes the spot she wants but doesn't take it. I thought this book was ok. It wasn't really fascinating. Event though this book wasn't the best, you should still try the book and see if you like it. I rate this book three stars.

This book was flat-out amazing!! Ernest, Ryan and Lizzy have always seen and heard stories about their town of Cliffs Donnelly's wishing well. But they've never really believed that it actually granted wishes... until one day they find themselves underneath the well in a small cave, able to hear every wish tossed down into the well's abyss. And for some reason it seems to connect with Ernest's grandfather's attic. Ernest's grandfather told Ernest repeatedly and sort of spookily to clean up his attic after he passes, and when Ernest does, the object that he takes out of the attic ends up doing something to grant a wish from the well. Sounds pretty crazy, right?? Well, at this point nothing seems crazy anymore to Ernest, Lizzy and Ryan. They start seeing that with a little bit of kindness and thought, wishes do come true. This book was actually filled with some mystery and a lot of suspense. And I LOVED it!! It was SO GOOD! Keith Calabrese does an amazing job describing the 3 friend's tale, and I hung on to every word and devoured this book in 2 days! If you like adventure, mystery, and basically a good book, you NEED to read this book, because I COMPLETELY and TOTALLY recommend it, for any age and anyone. :)

I really like this book because I speak Spanish too. This book is mostly in English, it just has a few Spanish words in it. It is also good for kids who also want to learn a few Spanish words.

I love this book because Camilla Cream makes funny faces and looks like a rainbow. She's worried about what other people think of her and she turns the color of whatever people are saying. People make fun of her because whatever they say shows up on her. The principal said she had to go home because she was too distracting for other kids. She turns into a pill from taking medicine and finally she turns back to normal when she's willing to say she loves lima beans. And she does!

This book is just like its name -sweet, juicy, tart, and rich with love. Alice Anderson loves her aunt Polly, a pie making prodigy with thirteen blueberry awards for her pies. However, Polly is humble and modest lady in her humble pie shop-PIE. Then, one day, Polly dies. (Suppose it was the fact that she had thirteen awards?) Alice doesn't know what to do. Mr. Ogden presents Polly's will, which means that Alice takes care of Polly's ornery cat, Lardo, and Lardo has the pie crust recipe that everyone wants to know. Yet, Alice's mother doesn't quite feel that the matter is settled. She never like her older sister, and disliked her even more. Alice discovers, one morning, that Lardo is missing. With him missing, the town pie-crazy, and her mother annoyed, Alice needs some comfort. She and her friend Charlie figure out who stole Lardo, but even so that hunch of Alice's was wrong. Luckily, an officer comes home with Lardo, but the thief is still on the loose. Tying in some clues, Alice finds who it is. This book by Sarah Weeks is just as good to read as good it is to eat a pie. For mystery lovers, and pie-bakers, this book is the place to solve the clues and between chapters there are pie recipes! Come and enjoy this book just like the folks of Ipswitch enjoy pie. You'll read it over and over again .

The book Amber House, was first thought of by author Kelly Moore in the 1980’s but it stayed just a draft for many years. Later on her children Larkin and Tucker Reed decided to get with their mom to finish and publish this extraordinary piece . This novel is the first in the trilogy, and is a young adult mystery with just the right amount of romance. From beginning to end this book kept me engaged and on my toes. The story was so very well thought out and written that it made it very painless to follow the storyline. The book was packed with just enough of everything from mysteries and treasures to unexpected plot twists and a sort of love triangle. Amber House was also not hard to get into like most mystery and young adult novels I have read in the past, the book kept my interest the whole time and didn’t feel like a chore to try to finish. Sarah and her younger brother Sammy, have to go to the Amber House after their grandmother passed away. Soon after they arrive, they realize the house is a lot more than it seems. From rumors to lost diamonds, to secret staircases there is so much that they try to explore before their mother sells the house and everything inside. Sarah begins to unpack the rich history of the house and its concealed memories of the past, and from this develops a deep connection with the house. This story is a great reminder that demasking the past can help you see why people or things turned out the way they did, how the past can affect future generations. For example Sarah’s mother has always been cold hearted and angry, since she could remember but never knowing why. Not until Sarah began to search and discover secrets of the house, and the tragedies that caused her mother to be the way was. She then felt compassion for her mom, by knowing what she went through and it changed how she saw her mother, but it didn’t take away the things her mom had said and done. If Sarah never dug up the past, she would probably spend her whole life never truly understanding her mother. I think that a lot of people myself included, can relate to not being able to understand how someone is until after you learn what they have been through. It can change your whole outlook on the person, and like Sarah, have sympathy.
