*Spoiler This book was mediocre. First of all, the beginning of the story was confusing. There were too many things going on and it was hard to follow. The plot was interesting overall and I liked the characters and their personalities. For example, Jack's british accent made it fun to read aloud. One thing though is that, as the story continued, lot of things that happened were predictable like when they found out that Charlie Green was Jack's son. For these reasons I give this book 3 stars.

This book was surprisingly good. My family and I go on lots of long car trips and we like to listen to audiobooks, but it can be very difficult to find stories that match all of our interests. Since this site is just for the book itself I won't rate the audiobook itself (read by Micheal Goldstrom) but I have to say it was delivered wonderfully. I also won't go into the plot either because, for one thing, there's a summary right there, and I don't want to spoil anything. The Genius Files, as a series overall, can get monotonous. You could say the story is broken into chapter clusters, which all go about the same way. The McDonalds have been driving for hours when Mrs. McDonald suddenly announces an oddball tourist trap that she can use on her popular and ridiculous site, Amazing but True. Dr. McDonald, Coke, and Pepsi all protest, but end up following along anyway. Somehow or another, the twins get separated from their parents and are confronted by their health teacher, Mrs. Higgins, or the nefarious "Bowler Dudes" who attempt to kill them in an absurd way, (including being trapped in a burning school, getting buried alive in the Singing Sand Dunes, getting lowered into a bubbling vat of SPAM, getting shocked to death with electricity, lowered into boiling oil, and having a variety of things dropped onto their heads including a chest of drawers, a concrete brain, and a dead cow.) but they escape, and Coke rips his shirt in the process. Despite the cookie-cutter format, it can be said that the book is full of tidbit trivia, spot-on humor, and defiant action. I would recommend to upper-elementary kids and families looking to have a good time. I would give it four and a half stars, but say in this instance, it rounds up.

This was a fun, crazy, exciting, and relaxing read. It is kind of about milk, and how not having milk turns out to be a big problem. I bet you guys are like WHAT!?!? But yes it's true this story was very adventurous, humorous, and hectic. When their mom goes away, their mom reminds the father to ALWAYS have milk with you, and then when the children finds out they have no milk, they start to get a little crazy. So the dad went on a trip to get milk and had a crazy way to get. Including riding on a hot air balloon with a dinosaur and meeting all sorts of people like pirates. This book brought a smile to my face and had me relaxed.

This book genre is mysterious adventures, and it was written by Mary Pope Osborne. To state it briefly, in the beginning of the story the characters were looking for a tree house, and the tree house was in the middle of a forest. Once they found it they went inside and appeared in a ninja world. They had to follow a path, with the ninja. There was a samurai and an icy cold lake etc on the way. Towards the end, the samurai was coming so they hid behind a rock so they were not seen, and continued back home. Since you don’t know who the characters are then I will tell you more about them. The main characters are Jack and Annie. Jack is more of a reading guy, his favorite thing to do is read, that means he can get smart. Annie likes animals more than books. She loves taking care of what is around her. She is very careful with animals and nature. In addition Jack likes solving puzzles and mysteries. Two key events that happened in the book that added to the plot was. 1 Annie found a mouse that could help them accomplish their mystery, because the mouse was the key to finishing their misson. 2 the Ninjas in the story said there was a samurai. ( the samurai are dangerous.) Without the samurai the story would be less scary and curious. One of the main characters Jack, didn’t like nature, but in page #68 he changed, he started to like nature. He normally says,‘‘ oh brother’’ to his sister Annie, when she just wanted to take care of the little animals that she found, but this time when Annie, his sister was making a bed for for a mouse that helped them succeed in their mission, he kissed the mouse good night and started to change his attitude instead of saying, ‘‘Oh brother.’’ An unanswered question, I would like to ask is, do Jack and Annie’s parents know about their adventures while they are gone? Meanwhile,the thing I most enjoyed about the book was when the characters went to see the ninja master. That part was very mysterious. In the picture on that page, it looked like the ninja master was coming out of fog, but indoor fog. I liked that part because I love mysterious things. The last thing I would like to say about this book is that I would highly recommend this book a lot because even for kids, teenagers etc, for any person who doesn't like reading, this book can change your mind. Also, if you like reading that is even better because you will like reading more. I hope you will read my book someday, oh, and remember my book is called night of the ninjas.

Second book of the series, not as funny as the first. Much more centered on bullying. It surprised me, because I was bullied and it was hard to understand why someone would do that to another person. My parents helped me through it and this book was a good reference as well. I enjoyed the way the bible is written in to see that it still applies today.

“’The times, they are a-changin’.” Simply put, this book was INCREDIBLE! It was the essence of a thrilling mystery, but it also had some amazing parts full of adventure and a thirst to find out what happens next! Be prepared to get on a roller-coaster ride with history, science, and danger lurking at every corner! “Infinity Ring: A Mutiny in Time” will be unforgettable once you read it… In this dystopian world ruled by the SQ, two geniuses called Dak and Sera have hope that their world can change for the better.

That’s when everything started going downhill. Unfortunately, when Dak and Sera finally learned how to return back to the present, Dak’s parents did not teleport with them – which meant that Dak’s parents were lost in history.

I am reading this as we speak it is a wonderful book and was very well written I had just purchased at the library this morning but I will say because Stevenson is from the united kingdom it was a bit hard to understand with hints of an Irish vocabulary
