This book is face paced and exciting, and it has lots of mystery and adventure. A girl named Sophia is left to face the world with only a boy named Theo when her uncle is kidnapped. They must travel a long ways to find Sophia's Uncle's old college friend (who he might possibly still be in love with). I think my favorite part of this book so far is the way the author describes the memory maps, which are the type of maps that her Uncle makes. Memory maps seem so magical, yet scientific too. Overall, I would say that this book is good for ages 8 and above. The content is sometimes difficult to understand and some things are slightly scary. If you like fantasy, mystery, adventure, or action books, this book fits the bill.

Lindbergh: The Tale of a Flying Mouse by Torben Kuhlman is about a mouse who wants to go to America to get to his mouse friends and to escape the cats and mouse traps. The problem is that the mouse can’t get on a ship to get to New York, so he has to make something. I enjoyed this book because Lindbergh, the mouse, continuously tries new things out to solve his problem. I also liked the story because the mouse actually makes a cool plan. Lindbergh even knew what to use to make the plane. For example, he knew that it could not be too heavy and that the plane had to be powerful enough to lift off the ground. If you like airplanes, you will like this book.

I have not read this yet, but it sounds like a wonderful book, and many people really like it. Soon enough, I'll read it. The only reason it's still around is because it is a great classic! I wonder how D'Artagnan will feel when I read about him...

I decided to read this book with my class because it tied in nicely with a Social Studies unit about the United States following the Civil War. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and think my students will too.

I am reading this book in school and it is amazing. We learned about Civil Rights and other things. We learned about Thergood Marshal. We watched a movie called Selma Lord Selma. It is really good. I recommend it to people who love cliff hangers. Have Questions? Follow me and I will read your page and find your question.

(I didn't finish this book) Although the title suggests Benjamin Franklin is the main character, the story follows a young girl named Patience. When her master dies, Patience runs away and tries find the culprit. I think many people may enjoy this book.

Eel a 13-year old boy spends most of his time on a river catching and selling fishes because he lives and an orphan with his brother and he gets hunted by Fisheye Bill Tyler (eel's stepfather). Eel has been having a rough time throughout his adventure to to prove Dr.Snow's theory about a deadly cholera. But, eel can't stay even in Snow's shed to seek shelter during nighttime. The only thing eel cares about is getting some help from Dr.JohnSnow and getting Dr.JohnSnow's theory through the neighborhood in order to save everybody from dying. Also, eel needed to make money so he decided to go out and find a job while he lets Mrs.Miggles take care of his little brother. My favorite part of the book is when eel has to make money in order to buy clothes, food and more items for him and his brother, so he left to find a job and trusts Mrs.Miggles to take care of eel's little brother. I personally recommend this book to anyone who likes mystery books, and historical fiction books. Although, there are some parts in the book where you wouldn't want to read this book in the dark. But overall, this book is truly amazing and i urge you to read it!

Okay, this book is amazing! Georgie's sister, Agatha, runs away when Georgie blurts out something she shouldn't. A couple days later, an unidentifiable body wearing Agatha's dress is found. Georgie refuses to believe Agatha is dead, and sets out on a journey to find her, along with an unexpected companion. Great book!

I have read many AG mysteries, and this one is one of my top 3. It has everything a mystery needs: action, creepiness, and a ton of heart. It is a great book for anyone who likes a mystery that the author took a lot of passion in writing.
