Izzy Newton and the S.M.A.R.T. Squad: Absolute Hero (Book 1)

Izzy Newton and the S.M.A.R.T. Squad: Absolute Hero (Book 1)

By Tripp, Valerie

A spellbinding tale of adventure, intelligence, friendship, and female empowerment is found in this book, Izzy Newton and the S.M.A.R.T. Squad: Absolute Hero! This short but sweet book follows Izzy Newton, a total STEM nerd entering Atom Middle School along with her best friends Charlie Darwin and Allie Einstein. The problem is, she's placed in the Forensics elective, and it's no secret that Izzy dreads public speaking. Worse even, the middle school's air conditioning and heating system have gone haywire, so the school building is absolutely freezing. Worst of all, Izzy's ex-best friend Marie Curie is back in town, and she's attending the same middle school! With everything going on in her life, it seems impossible to keep on top of things. Can Izzy solve the mystery of the school's rambunctious temperature, master the art of public speaking, and win an old friend back? Personally, I loved reading about Izzy's adventures and particular emotions and thoughts. This book is unique in the sense that it's not about the "trivial" factors of middle school, such as romance or petty drama, as many books often are—instead, the main focus is on five young, strong-willed girls set on improving the environment around them. This story is a perfect fit for any girl looking for a read that is out of the box, empowering, and an undeniably relatable telling of the middle school experience.

Zeus the Mighty: The Quest for the Golden Fleas (Book 1)

By Crispin Boyer

If you like Greek mythology (and cute pets), then this is the book for you! Zeus the hamster has to go on a quest of epic proportions to try to obtain the golden fleece (fleas), which is a symbol of power. While he is on his journey, he faces many dangers, including vicious Harpies, a sea monster, and a 'dragon'! And, to make matters worse, Zeus's fellow gods might start a mutiny! Can Zeus get the fleece to enforce his position or, a better question, can he make it out alive? Read this book to find out! Personally, I enjoyed reading this novel and, even if it could get slightly boring at times, overall it was a great read.

Never Girls #6: The Woods Beyond (Disney: The Never Girls)

Never Girls #6: The Woods Beyond (Disney: The Never Girls)

By Kiki Thorpe

This book’s genre is adventure and it was written by Kiki Thorpe. This story is about a girl named Lainey who got lost in the woods. And her friends are trying to find her and they found her and they can go home. And they know not to tell their parents the secret about Never Land where there are fairies and so many tiny winy stuff like, food, clothes, cups, ect. The main character is a girl named Lainey Winters. She wants to talk to animals if they need to. Two key events that happened in the story was one they went to NeverLand and walked to Pixie Hollow. The second key detail is when Lainey got lost in the woods. It was cool because Lainey found boys that had weird names and they said they were getting coconuts to eat. And they went to a rino to make it mad and nook down a coconut. Lainey was sad at the start of the story because she was late to go to her friend's house. These are the page numbers 7, 11, and 13. At the end of the story Lainey was happy because she was lost then she found her friends and they could go home. These are the page numbers 106 and 107. One unanswered question is, “ Did the author have an adventure like this? ‘’ The part I enjoyed the the most in the book is when they went to pixie hollow. I like that part because when they got in pixie hollow they saw fairies every day. I would recommend this book because it was awesome and it had good actions. And last but not least it has other books. This is why I recommend this book.
