Torn (The Missing)

Torn (The Missing)

By Margaret Peterson Haddix

The fourth book in The Missing; Jonah and Katherine are sent to 1611 to fix (and save) the year 1600. Jonah is supposed to act like John Hudson, Henry Hudson’s son on his ship The Discovery. With a futuristic exact John Hudson costume being worn by Jonah, he is the perfect John Hudson and Katherine is invisible. With a planned mutiny of Henry Hudson onboard, Jonah and Katherine need to figure out how to save history. Henry Hudson surrenders to the mutineers and agrees to go on a shallop with a few other shipmates to find the Northwest Passage. After they narrowly escape an iceberg, they see the ship coming back for them from the south when it was headed North. Then they spot the Northwest Passage. Second is at the helm and changing history up. So, after Jonah is put in the stocks and they find out one of the men is Second, they go back in time to where they were in the shallop trying to make things right and not be forced by Second’s hand. Will history fall apart, or will they succeed in making things right? What I thought about it Margaret Peterson Haddix is a wonderful author. She writes books in a way that you can see what’s happening clearly with your imagination. I discovered her from Into The Gauntlet, the tenth 39 Clues book. Then I read Found and Sent and loved those so I said, “Why not continue the series?” So I did with Sabotaged and Torn. It took me a long time to read both of them and I was actually anxious to finish and get on with another book. Sabotaged in my opinion was pretty confusing in some parts; I liked it, but there are so many things happening, that at one point it just confuses you. I had similar feelings with Torn, but it was slow-paced and didn’t have enough action. I have started reading the next one and I hope it will be better. I was sort of disappointed that Haddix made me want to finish to read something else. I hope she redeems herself with some other good books in the series.

By Margaret Peterson Haddix

I really loved this book because I'm really interested in science fiction. Before I read book 1, Found, I thought I wouldn't like the series. But now after I read book 1, I started reading all of the other books. Now I waiting for book, I think 7 or 8 to come out and I'm really excited

The Hole Story of the Doughnut

The Hole Story of the Doughnut

By Pat Miller

I don't usually like history-type books, but this one seemed fun. The bonus? It was about doughnuts, one of my favorite topics. It was fun to learn about the history of doughnuts. It also taught me that people can play different roles in history.

The Time of the Fireflies

The Time of the Fireflies

By Kimberley Griffiths Little

What's creepy, mysterious, and that you can really relate too? It's The Time of the Fireflies by Kimberly Griffiths Little. It's very, very creepy and mysterious, if I haven't made that clear already. But the girl in the story, Larissa can be related to by almost anyone! Larissa's family has just moved to this new town where her mother lived when she grew up. They live in an antique shop, but there's one thing that they don't sell. They keep it in a locked glass box. It is a doll. An heirloom, really. With secrets from the past. Larissa receives a message on an old phone that's not supposed to work. It says: Follow the Fireflies. Trust the fireflies. Larissa finds the fireflies and goes back in time to when her great, great grandmother was a little girl and realizes that the doll was there since then. And everything bad that happened to the people in Larissa's family, the doll had seen it. When she gets back, her mother has news that she is going to have a baby girl. But the next day, her mom and the doll are gone. Her mother must have taken her doll with her. If everything Larissa knows about the doll is true, then her mother is in danger. Grave danger. Through suspense, and magic a secretive and mysterious book is unleashed: The Time of the Fireflies.

Benjamin Franklin: Huge Pain in my...

By Adam Mansbach, Alan Zweibel

I won this book in a giveaway and when I finally got around to reading, it was pretty good but kind of confusing and I just didn't really like it much. It just wasn't very memorable.

This Kingdom Keepers book starts out with a bit of a bang: the legendary Keepers find themselves during the start of Disneyland.

As he intertwines the stories, he creates a masterpiece for Disney lovers.

Kingdom Keepers: The Return Book One Disney Lands

Kingdom Keepers: The Return Book One Disney Lands

By Ridley Pearson

This book was amazing. It was a very fast read as well. I read it in one afternoon, I was so entranced. This series is a spin-off from Kingdom Keepers. The Return series is basically about the life after Kingdom Keepers "ends". This book is confusing if you have not read the Kingdom Keepers. The enemies, the people, the relationships-you can't understand the story and the layout if you have not read the original series. I recommend this book to Ridley Pearson fans, Disney fans, and fantasy fans. I believe many will enjoy this book. Also be aware that there are intense scenes. So it might be wise for parents to approve the book first. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.
