A Week without Tuesday (Tuesday McGillycuddy Adventures)
By Angelica Banks
After the exciting, rather exhausting adventures of "Finding Serendipity", Tuesday McGillycuddy is more than happy to lead a "normal" life - that is, until her slightly overprotective father, Dennis, rushes in with shocking headlines: "SEVEN WRITERS GONE MISSING." A frantic Dennis warns his wife and daughter to stop doing the thing they love most: writing, as to avoid being the next victim - but he is not able to stop the imaginative Tuesday and her loyal Winged Dog, Baxterr, from getting whisked away by her friend, Vivienne Small, who desperately needs Tuesday's help. After a Winged Dog's death, Vivienne's world has been turned topsy-turvy - and she blames the mysterious "G", who writes in his note that, "I cannot keep the worlds apart much longer." Without his power, the two worlds of story and reality will collide - and only Tuesday can save both worlds.. But will Tuesday and Vivienne be able to solve a mystifying mystery and save the world (again) at the same time? Poor Tuesday.. First of all, I would like to say that this book was oh-so-terribly cheesy at times, but I suppose I warmed up to it after a while - in fact, I would say that this book's "cheesiness" is what made it really pop out for me. Most books in the fantasy genre have plenty of angst and gruesome battles, but never really focus on more subtle themes like friendship and family - and they should. When I finished "A Week Without Tuesday", the ending was bittersweet - it left me yearning for more adventures with curious Tuesday and spunky Vivienne, who I had grown rather fond of. This book was written in a "childish" manner, with parts that made me smile cheekily, but was also overly descriptive, fitting as much detail into a page as possible - it was wonderful. When I finished "A Week Without Tuesday," I sighed with contentment, flopped over in my bed, and immediately went to make some blueberry pancakes and started working on my abandoned stories again. My hat is off to authors Heather Rose and Danielle Wood (Angelica Banks...) for a lovely sequel :)

I thought this book was pretty good. I thought it was a little peculiar but overall it was okay. The age is probably 6 or 7+
Nightmares!
By Jason Segel, Kirsten Miller

Whether your nightmares are clowns or the dark, Nightmares! Is a book you wanna read, it has a great plot with well thought out characters, it has also some humor injected into it, like when Dabney, a clown, told Charlie, the main character, to not kill anyone when he borrowed his car. It is also full of suspense which makes it a real page-turner, unlike the other books I have read. I have recently finished the book and cannot wait for the sequel coming out in the Fall of 2015. In conclusion the book has earned 2nd place of my all time favorite book list. Good job Jason and Kirsten!

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark Series: More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark; Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark 3 (Book sets for Kids: Grade 3 and Up)
By Alvin Schwartz
If you're wanting a little fright, this is the perfect book for you to read, It is very spooky, and also very interesting. It is also a little intense for some readers, it may describe stuff that is too graphic for kids too see, but if you're mature enough I recommend it. Too be very honest the Illustrations are very detailed and make the story scarier than it is already is. My final thing too say is that I definitely recommend it for the appropriate audience.

When Annabelle finds her Auntie's old journal, she asks about her. Why didn't they ever look for her? Then Tiffany moves in. Tiffany is Nora's new doll (Kate owns the Dolls, Nora is her little sister). Tiffany and Annabelle want to look for Auntie, but can they find her after all these years?
