A mysterious tale with twists and turns in the plot, Lemony becomes an apprentice in a secret organization to S. Theodora Markson. They work to steal a statue of the mythical Bombinating Beast in Stain’d-By-The-Sea; a small town with few businesses known for its ink that was next to the sea that was sucked up-for a customer that claims it is theirs. With a master puppeteer, Hangfire, holding captives and controlling everyone, you never know who you can trust-or why he wants that statue so badly. What I thought about it: Who could that be at this hour was definitely an interesting read. It was my first time reading a Lemony Snicket book, but it seemed like a good book (and had a great cover and great art inside) so I checked it out at the library. Lemony Snicket writes very well, and the story flows fluidly with quite a bit of suspense. I thought it was pretty cool that he decided to write the story with him as the main character, as not a lot of authors do that. I thought the book would be full of questions and answers with no storyline, but I was downright wrong. It had a few questions in the plot though. So if you’re wondering “Where is that screaming coming from?” “Is it too late?” and “What happened to his parents?”, then read this book!

It is such a good book. It tells the story of a German 9 year old girl named Anna. She is Jewish but she hardly ever feels like it because she does not do Jewish things. Her father is a well paid journalist but he was writing bad things about the Nazis. He had been told he was being threatened. As Anna travels she reads a book about found people. They all have hard childhoods. She leaves her home in Germany and then goes to Switserland, Paris and then London. Having to learn diferent languages was a strugle but Anna loved it. Would her childhood as a refugee count as a hard one?

Warning!! THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The jungle book is an amazing book! If you are an animal lover, love action, fighting, and suspense then the jungle book is for you. I loved how the author keeps you at the edge of your seat the whole book. In my opinion my favorite part about the jungle book is when Mowgli kills Shere Khan and proves him self. There are 5 different stories in the book itself. My favorite out of all is Rikki-Tikki- Tavi, it is about a mongoose who is trying to protect his family from combra and is amazing. All in all and awesome book!!! Highly suggest reading the Jungle Book.

After the mysterious Golden Lion is sighted Cleopatra sneaks out of Yasiro Academy to find it before Octavian does. With the help of Antony, she finds a warm hidden town in a cave.

I really, really love this book. It is an amazing conclusion to an amazing series. The humor and seriousness of Cleopatra are some things I admire deeply. The story is well thought out and interesting. The graphics are amazing. I recommend this series to elementary and middle school students. Hope everybody enjoys this series and this book as much as I had!

The Contract is about young Derek Jeter, a middle school boy who loves baseball. Derek dreams of becoming the shortstop player for the New York Yankees when he gets older. In order to help Derek achieve his dream while also focusing on other parts of life Derek's parents put together a contract outlining rules about school and family time. Along with other things he has to keep his grades up, or no baseball. Derek is very excited to play Little League, but is disappointed to find out his team is the Tigers. But, he still is excited to play shortstop. That is until the day he is assigned he starts at second base. And Derek's team definitely has its low points. Can Derek keep up with school and family and pursuing his dream all while trying to keep his team together? To be honest this wasn't my favorite book at all. I like the idea, but in many ways it isn't realistic. One example, is that Derek never loses his temper on the field, and he never says one bad thing to another player. At home he confides in his parents, which is a good model but he also gets over things way too fast. I do however like the theory of the book, and I think some younger boys would like to read it. I rate this book 3 out of 5 stars.

This book is about a really good shortstop in baseball and he has to play second base because there is the best kid who has to play shortstop.
