Artemis Fowl - The Lost Colony

Artemis Fowl - The Lost Colony

By Eoin Colfer

Artemis Fowl is a genius. He's outsmarted and befriended an entire race of elves and dwarves, assisted in stopping the goblin rebellion, foiled the Russian mafia, and saved his presumably dead father. He is now only 14. But when Artemis discovers he is not the only teenager with knowledge of the fairy races, he must once again team up with former LEP captain Holly Short, and travel through time and space to stop this teen from exposing the secrets of Magic, and prevent the invasion of a species that's been gone 10,000 years. And it's comes down to one question: who is the real enemy? In the fifth installment of the Artemis Fowl series, written by Eoin Colfer, we are once again introduced to new characters, both funny, scary, and sad. One of the best parts of this series is how the author gives us a new way to look at things, unveiling some of the "truth" about Earth's history. This book is definitely one to read, but of course I recommend the first four books as well.

Artemis Fowl The Atlantis Complex

Artemis Fowl The Atlantis Complex

By Eoin Colfer

"Artemis Fowl has lost his mind, just when the world needs him most." Artemis Fowl has become a do-gooder, or, rather, everyone thinks he has. Coming out with his newest project- "Saving the World"- his fairy friends notice some strange behavior in Artemis. His symptoms reflect on Atlantis Complex, a mental psychosis affected only to guilt-ridden fairies, until now. Artemis' symptoms include extreme obsessive compulsive disorder, paranoia, multiple personality disorder, and, in his extreme case, humiliating love-filled confessions to eight-year former nemesis, now ally Captain Holly Short. But a dangerous foe from Holly's past is loose, and Artemis, (not his romantic-crazed second personality, Orion), is the only one able to stop him.

Keeper of the Lost Cities

Keeper of the Lost Cities

By Shannon Messenger

Have you ever imagined that elves could be real? Or that dinosaurs were still alive? Even that places like Atlantis were real? Well all of those things are real in The Keeper Of The Lost Cities. Here are some things that happen in the book. Sophie was shocked when someone told her she was an elf. He was also an elf too. So that explained to Sophie that she can read minds after she hit her head when she was 5. When someone picks her up and gets her to the elvin world the council there tells her that she is an elf. She is now living with 2 people Grady and Edaline. They used to have a daughter named Jolie and died in a fire. She almost went to Exile for breaking the law. She is sad because when she went to the elvin world to live there they had to brainwash her family. She soon realizes that she was the project of the moon lark, meaning that the Black swan made her In the elvin world you have powers and if you had more than one it was really rare and Sophie has a lot more than one power. People kidnapped her while she was in a cave. They tried to brainwash her but didn’t work. They took off her tracker and put it in the ocean so it looked like she died. She sent out a signal to Fitz but Fitz thought it was a trap because he went to her funeral. They told him that if you don’t come then I will die. A theme I learned from this book was, ‘don’t be afraid to do something’. Sophie was scared at times but she always overcame it. For example when she was at the top 2 at the splotching match. She was going against Fitz who has been winning for years but she still ended up winning. Sophie never loses courage in what she does even if it means risking her life. Some memorable characters are Sophie and Dex. Sophie is good at everything; she beat Fitz in a splotching match and Fitz has been winning for years. Sophie was told she was an elf and had multiple powers. She goes to a school named Foxfire. Her group of friends always had her back when Stina always teased her. In that group of friends there is Biana, Dex, Fritz, Keefe, Marella, and of course Sophie. Dex is Sophie’s best friend. He is smart and is not failing alchemy. Most people fail alchemy. There are some memorable fictional places that Messenger uses in Keeper of the Lost Cities. There are similar buildings in the elvin world that we have here, such as gates and big houses, trees that take in pollution, gardens and cliffs and even caves. Despite the great parts that I enjoyed from Keeper of the Lost Cities, there were some parts that were confusing. I just didn’t understand how a brainpush worked. After you get energy after years does your brain just push the energy out like a powerful blast? I will still give it five stars because you could feel how the character feels. When Sophie left her family you could feel the pain she was feeling like leaving your family after living with them for so long was heartbreaking. I also liked how the book could be very unpredictable, and you find out new things page after page. Overall, I would recommend this book to 3rd grade and older, as there is some violence, but it seems that it would be very enjoyable for people who like exciting books that give you a rollercoaster of a ride.

Captain Underpants and the Wrath of the Wicked Wedgie Women (Captain Underpants #5)

By Dav Pilkey

Captain Underpants would be an amazing book if you like pranks, and lots of fooling around! The two troublemakers George, and Harold end up turning their grumpy, old teacher into a horrible super villain. Captain Underpants needs to stop her from taking over the whole world. I think this is the best book I have ever read. This would be a great book for fifth and sixth graders.
