Gone by Michael Grant

4.5/5 Stars

I thought this book was very good because it was all about super powers/mutations and supernatural things. One day all the adults disappear and it’s just the kids under 18 left in a big dome. It’s really interesting how all the animals get smaller and more dangerous. Then some kids wanted to control everything and they took over.

The Eternity Code by Eoin Colfer


4/5 Stars

In the beginning Artemis Fowl created a technologically advanced cube that was about 20 years ahead of anything we have now. This cube was made of stolen fairy technology that he got from the previous book. He tries to sell his “c cube” to a billionaire/ evil mastermind, but that didn’t work because instead it was stolen from him. So the fairies were alerted and they teamed up with Artemis Fowl and his bodyguard Butler to regain possession of the c cube because if they don’t the fairy civilization could be found (the fairies were driven underground when the humans came into existence). In the end they got the c cube back, destroyed it and mindwiped him so that he couldn’t bother the fairies anymore, but he gave a dwarf who was helping them along the way a gold coin that had a disk inside of it and got him to bring it back to him a year later so he could remember the fairies.

The Battle of the Labyrinth by Rick Riordan


5/5 Stars

I really enjoyed this book. I read the first 3 books but this one was the best one yet! I really liked how Rick Riordan (the author) described when Percy and his friends were fighting the monsters; it was almost like I was in it! I would also like to recommend this to fantasy lovers because there is lots of fantasy in it.

Mayflower Treasure Hunt by Ron Roy

4/5 Stars

They arrived at the mayflower board and heard that over 400 years ago someone stole a necklace. They went on a ferry boat and found the necklace. Then they were followed. The person who followed them was caught and arrested so then the kids agreed it should go to the artefact museum.

Thirteenth Child by Patricia C. Wrede


Thirteenth Child

Patricia E. Wrede

5/5 Stars

This book was very enjoyable. The story line was very interesting and it had very good characters. The book kept my interest throughout the whole story. It also in a genre that I like: fantasy. I found the time picked for the book interesting because I have not read a book in that era (The American frontier) that also used magic in it. I also found it interesting that the mix of normal, magic, and prehistoric animals were used for the wild life. I found the different schools of magic interesting.

Deeper by Roderick Gordon and Brian Williams

4/5 Stars

I chose to read this book because it was a sequel to a good book I read called Tunnels. Tunnels, was a suspenseful book and its sequel Deeper was even more suspenseful than the first one. The premise of this book is that the three main characters are searching for Will’s adoptive father who got lost in the first book Tunnels. Most of the action takes place in the “Deeps” a place where people from the Colony (a subterranean city) are banished to by their oppressors the Styx. Unfortunately, at the end of the book the author seemed to go on a needless killing spree with his characters. Deeper was still a very good read but unfortunately it fell apart at the ending, which was a disappointment from the first book Tunnels.

The Parent Trap

4/5 Stars

When two girls, Hallie Parker a California girl and Annie James and proper London miss, both meet at the same summer camp they realize they are twins! The girls decide to switch places to get their parents back together. It’s not as good as the original classic but I think it is really funny!
