This book surprised me from the very beginning! It was an excellent read, and - BONUS - it's a summer reading book! Fourteen-year-old Kendra feels abandoned when her parents leave her and eleven-year-old Seth at Grandpa and Grandma Sorenson's (who they BARELY KNOW) house while Mom and Dad go on a cruise. Mom and Dad say they won't enjoy it, but let's be honest kids, we all see through that lie. In the first couple of days there, several strange things happen. First of all, there are signs leading up to the entrance gate, the last one being the most disturbing: Certain Death Awaits. They aren't allowed to go into the woods or the barn. Dale, one his Grandpa Sorenson's few workers, leaves fresh milk in a bucket for butterflies. It turns out the playroom is only half of the attic! And what will they key-treasure-hunt lead to? When Seth gets bored and goes into the forest anyway, he discovers a witch living in a hut in the middle of nowhere. (Of course Kendra doesn't believe him-right?) When he goes back again he finds a giant hidden beautiful pond, with swans and the works! What was his Grandfather hiding? Kendra finally finds all the keys to open the mysterious journal...but it's blank? WHAT'S GOING ON? The only words are - DRINK THE MILK. Needing a guinea pig, Kendra retrieves Seth and tells him that the milk tastes amazing. Unless Seth's acting skills got a whole lot better without her knowing, this farm isn't what Grandpa says it is. Welcome to FABLEHAVEN! Land of fairies, witches, imps, naiads, trolls, and much much more! --BKS

I love band is an amazing book where a girls friend goes to summer camp and finds a friend, but when she comes back to school again, she was expecting both of her friends to be friendly with each other, but that is not how they want it to be. It in the end all resolves peacefully and has a lot of emotions. It is an adventurous book that has a lot of emotions and takes you with it through the story like you are actually there.

Iron Hearted Violet is an extremely creative and well-written fantasy about a princess who isn't beautiful (in fact, rather ugly), isn't dainty, and most assuredly isn't weak. Her kingdom loves her, especially her mother, father, her best friend Demetrius and the castle's storyteller, Cassian. Her name is Violet. Violet and Demetrius constantly wander the castle, exploring its secrets. Anything they find is relatively normal (well, as normal as things can be in a magical castle) until they stumble upon the secret of an evil god, known as the Nybbas. From then on, a series of events take place that send the kingdom towards its doom -- into the waiting hands of the Nybbas. With the help of a dragon, a runty god, three "miniature people" and the somewhat unwilling storyteller Cassian, Violet and Demetrius must stop the Nybbas and save their world from utter destruction. I loved this book so much! It is possibly the most unpredictable book I have ever read, and it literally defies every fairytale cliche. After reading the whole thing, I was thoroughly convinced that it is in my top five favorite books. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good adventure, and an unusual one at that. Get ready to expect the unexpected!

STOP! THIS IS A LIFE OR DEATH EMERGENCY! PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE! Okay, now that I have your attention and you know this is serious business, I just read a spectacular book that blew my mind! Interested now? I thought so! Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse is one of the most deep and thought out books I've ever read; very emotional. This book is not a regular for most people, it wasn't my first choice either. It's genre is historical fiction. Believe it or not my little brother recommended it to me and I'd have to give it five stars! I really enjoyed this book and can gladly see myself and other readers looking to read more books like it and/or by the same author. This book is based on a true story. Hesse writes Out of the Dust in first person, allowing Billie Jo Kelby, the protagonist, or main character, to describe her life from the winter of 1934 thought the fall of 1935. Billie Jo describes her desolate internal and external landscape with a searing, brutal honesty. She narrates, in unfolding glimpses of story, a tale of death, destruction, dust, and the search for redemption. This incredible book is very much related to Come on Rain, by Karen Hasse! Karen Hasse didn't actually write Out of the Dust until three years after her trip to Colorado, when she'd already started writing Come on Rain. I'd recommend this book to girls and boys, anyone interested in historic fiction! To conclude, if you haven't already done so, read Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse, you won't regret it!

I loved this book! It is my favorite in the series so far! Sophie needs to learn to fight, because she knows that her abilities can be avoided by the Neverseen. But afetr Alvar's tribunal, Sophie and Fitz suffer series damage from shadows. Illusion is the villains new weapon. Because of her injuries, she can't fight, but she can train with Fitz, that is, when he's conscious again. Fitz was attacked on the Heart, unlike Sophie , who was attacked on her arm and forehead. Things are changing quickly. Silveny is pregnant,Sophie needs to heal with Fitz, they need to figure out how to stop the shawdows, make them go away, and control them to use for themselves. Most importantly, they need to stop the Neverseeen. Tam is one hope. He's a shade, and he is very good at taking control at the shadow-flux. He's scared though, and that makes it harder. The Neverseen have revealed that they will attack when the newborn trolls hatch. That's a bad idea. The trolls are most dangerous when they hatch first. Sophie starts to train a bit to late, and she can only throw with her left arm, her bad arm. How will they stop the Neverseen if they aren't ready?

We read this book in my reading class and i liked it so that I was by myself and it was amazing so you should this book.

From growing up in a run-down motel which she called home for years, to glamorous New York City, Misty Copeland made her mark, becoming the first female to be a principal dancer at the American Ballet Theatre (ABT). Most girls and boys who dream of becoming ballerina’s start at the ripe age of three or four. But not Misty. Instead, she started at age thirteen. Misty said later that, “I was a late bloomer, starting ballet when I was only thirteen.” Although it seemed too late to start, Misty, with determination and support from teachers, became a “prodigy”. But Misty didn’t stop there. By the age of nineteen, she joined the Corps De Ballet at ABT. Even then, Misty said that her “ultimate dream was to become a principal dancer” which would later come to fruition. But before she could fulfill her dream, Misty set out to work hard and make her mentors and family proud. Famous ballerinas, such as Raven Wilkinson, were pleased and amazed with Misty. Even with struggles and injuries, Misty pushed forward, determined to show aspiring ballerinas that it’s never too late to make a difference. Even with her hard upbringing, Misty made history when she became the first woman to be a principal dancer at ABT. Through Misty’s life we can see that support and passion are some of the best qualities you need to achieve your dreams. She shows that passion and support can get you far. With Misty’s influence, young boys and girls can be inspired to dream big and work hard for what they want. Misty’s life proved that it doesn't matter where you come from or what ethnicity you are, you can still achieve great things.
