Blackout
By John Rocco
"Black out" it is a great book to read. Book is about family who suddenly lost the power one summer night. There was black out in the city. That night was different. The whole family spent time together having fun, playing games. They liked it so much that after power back on they switched off the lights and had more fun.This book is great, shows how spending time with family can be really fun.Book has a lot of nice illustrations. I recommend this book.
Carmela Full of Wishes
By Matt de la Peña
This book is about a girl named Carmela and her birthday could not get any better. For her birthday she got a scooter and she was finally old enough to go to town with her brother. But she did not expect her brother to act the way he was acting he was working and ignoring her. In my opinion I think that this book shows that if somebody is giving negative to you then you should not be negative to them. This inspired me to be more kind to everyone. In this book I think they show kindness and compassion. If you like books that start out positive then negative and positive again then this book is for you.
Paradigm Theory: Explanations of Everything
By John Tiffin
In this book, there is a alone person. That alone person went to try to fit it put never found a way. This made we feel a way to know it's okay not to fit in. I love this book and i want you to read it. The theme is it's okay to be different. You would love this this book if you don't really fit in with other people. He was different and new he was different.
Nancy Drew Diaries #1
By Stefan Petrucha
I can tell you that I did not enjoy this book. There are very few books that I do now like at all. Unfortunately, this was one of them. This book was predictable and twisted classic characters into strangers. Of course, I most likely have a biased opinion. I am a huge Nancy Drew fan and have read the whole original series. One very important thing to know is that this is a graphic novel. It is not a chapter book, but more like a comic book. That may be another reason why I did not enjoy it, as I like to read bigger books, and not pictures. One interesting thing about this book was that there were two books in one. So really there were two short graphic novels. I would not recommend this book to more advanced kids, however younger kids who enjoy graphic novels and comics may like this book. I give it a rating of 2 out of 5 stars.

Stink and the Freaky Frog Freakout
By Megan McDonald
Stink is really embarrassed. Even though he is really good at most things he tries, he is still in the Polliwog swimming class for little kids because he can't put his face underwater. All of the sudden, Stink starts seeing frogs everywhere. After a BLUE frog licks his arm he starts acting like a frog himself. He starts jumping around the house like a frog and sticking his tongue out to eat things. He starts to memorize frog calls and goes to a frog festival to learn more about them. The one good thing about thinking he is a frog is that he is finally able to put his head under water and gets to move on to the big kid swim class. I liked this book because it was fun learning facts about frogs and how they act. I just don't want to turn into a frog!!!
City of Ghosts
By Victoria Schwab
This is a very engaging book that sends chills up your spine. I have read it multiple times and loved every minute of it, even when it creeped me out a little bit. The main character is named Cassidy and her best friend is a ghost.....no she is not crazy.....Jacob is a real ghost. Ever since Cassidy drowned and Jacob saved her life she has been able to cross between the world of the living and the world of the dead. She calls this 'the veil' because in order to cross over she pulls on a curtain in the air and enters the ghost world. Whenever a ghost is in the veil she hears a tap-tap-tap and is pulled towards it in order to pull back the curtain. Jacob does not like it when Cassidy does this, and neither does she, but 'the veil' calls to her and makes her wonder if there is something she should be doing in the mysterious place. To make matters worse, her parents decide to host a TV show on the most haunted places in the world, and they head off to Scotland, instead of the nice beach vacation that Cassidy had planned. She learns that Scotland is filled with ghosts and sometimes the pull of 'the veil' is too strong for her to resist and it sucks her into the land of the dead without her pulling on the curtain. Jacob gets dragged along, much to his irritation, and Cassidy meets another girl with her same talent, who Jacob doesn't like one bit. She realizes that she has much to learn about 'the veil' and that it is more dangerous than she initially thought. The girl informs her that she has a job to do instead of lugging her precious old-fashioned camera around and taking pictures in the hopes that one will turn out with ghost pictures instead of blurry shadows. This book keeps you turning pages so that you never want to stop. "The City of Ghosts" can get pretty scary, but not too bad, after all, I don't usually like scary books but this one surprised me and I love it a lot. I would recommend this book to middle schoolers who enjoy realistic fantasy with a little twist.
Fablehaven: Grip of the Shadow Plague (Fablehaven)
By Brandon Mull
So, in this book, it is all about Kendra and Seth again. There is an weird plague going around, changing light creatures into dark creatures- and someone has to sacrifice themselves to stop it. It all began when the Phoenix was realized to be evil. That was when he started making a LOT of trouble... The thing is, this was an amazing book, with so many plots and surprises. This was a book that I just could not forget. I read this like, at the beginning of this year, but I remember it so clearly.
