Kids Books - Tales

This is one of my favorite books ever. It is a wonderful story about sisterly love, facing your fears, and never giving up. Addie was always the shy one. Scared of spiders and strangers, griffins and ghosts. But it turns out that she is braver then she thinks. Meryl however, is daring and bold, funny and outgoing. She wants to go out into the world on adventures. But when Meryl becomes deathly ill with the 'grey death', Addie will do anything to save her. Gail Carson Levine's outstanding tale will captivate readers young and old.

Do you like William Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer's Night Dream?' Or are you a big fan of baking and creativity? If so, then this book is for you! Midsummer's Mayhem by Rajani LaRocaa is about a girl named Mimi who has always loved to bake in incorporate herbs into her creations. When Mimi visits the new cafe in the town of Comety called The While Away, she decides to join the the baking contest they are offering. As she tries her hardest to get to the top three in the contest, Mimi finds herself in one interesting adventure after the next. I loved reading this book full of enchantment, friendship, magic and flour, sugar and butter!

Here’s my review of The Colossus Rises. Enjoy! Jack McKinley is 13 years old. It is just a normal school day when he finds a weird V-shape on the back of his head, and gets hit by a car. Jack finds himself at a “hospital”, which he soon finds out is an Institute. Not just any institute, but the Karai Institute, on an island unplotted on maps, lead by Professor Bhegad. Jack meets three other kids that have the same “lamda” (if you are Greek, (like me!) you will know that it is basically a Greek L) on the back of their heads. Bhegad explains that it is a rare genetic marker: that they all have G7W and will die without treatments. They are on a mission: to find all of the lost Loculi and return them so Atlantis can regain its power. But it will prove challenging since there are seven of them; hidden in the seven ancient wonders of the world. In a thrilling start to what promises to be an epic series, Lerangis pens a tale full of action, loss, mythical creatures and ancient secrets that is sure to make readers anxious for a sequel. What I thought about it: The Colossus Rises was a very entertaining read. The first 30 pages were a little slow, but the pages that followed totally made up for it. I have read Peter Lerangis’ 39 Clues contributions, and they were pretty enjoyable. This book appealed to me: the cover, the author, the Seven Wonders. I think Lerangis’ idea is spectacular; with there being seven loculi in the seven wonders of the world. That means almost half of the books will be in Greece!!! I loved the rich description as they walk down the streets of Rhodes, and I just felt like I was in Greece. Also, the suspense was epic. Is he dead? Or not dead? Like, you are stuck trying to see if Lerangis has tricked you again, or not. The cover was pretty intense-it had me captivated, and was one of the main reasons for picking up the book. So overall, amazing book.

I'm dying to see this book!!! Must read! Is it out though? Can't find it! By the way I bet Jason and Rachel like each other!!

I love this book, I love its concept and all of the action involved in it. I like how they are adventuring out to find parts of the word. I also like how they are in a completely different world, sort of like a fantasy world. I think that this is a great book and is a really good book for someone who is looking to venture into another world and explore the fascinating adventure of the world.

I got this book from Des Moines at the book store, so I had something to read so I am not bored. The main character gets sent to another deminsion from a hippo! Yes, he was swallowed by a HIPPO! He meets a musical group from a raft on a waterfall, he meets a blind king, he goes on many other adventures to solve the puzzle so he can return home.

i read all the books in the series and now I am reading this one. it is the fifteenth book out and I read all of them. so I am reading this one right now. If you want to join my book club just follow me! cant wait for the next one to come out!! :)

This book starts right where the last one left off! A mysterious dome has covered half of England, and no one knows why! The time students have somehow created the dome, and Fort, Jia, and Rachel sneak in to see what happened. This story involves stopping a world war, fighting a dragon, and traveling to a kingdom of elves! I strongly recommend this book.

This book is a fitting sequel to Revenge of Magic, and there are many thrilling twists. The final line of Revenge of Magic says that Fort wants to use summoning magic. This book starts in the new school for magic, and Fort and his friends are about to steal the Summoning book of magic to burn it. At least that’s what Fort tells his friends! He ends up stealing the Summoning book of magic so he can learn a portal spell. That combined with two run away magic students, enchanted items, and a high stakes rescue mission to another dimension, this book will have you glued to its pages until the last page! This book is amazing!

I did not read it! HAHAHA
