I like adventure books and fantasy books. This book, The Rogue Knight, part of the Five Kingdoms series, was both a thrill and a mystery. It was very intriguing beginning through end. The plot is both exciting and unexpected. It was a very good book and I recommend it to anyone who can read it.

WOW!!! That was my only reaction after reading this book! Just WOW! This book totally surprised me. Cruz Coronado lives in Hawaii and loves to surf. At least, he LIVED in Hawaii. The very exclusive Explorer Academy had accepted his application to attend... in WASHINGTON, D.C.! His deceased mother had gone when she was his age, and Cruz feels she would be proud of him going. At the Academy, they train kids and teens about how to explore. Pretty cool, right? Cruz definitely thinks so! There's augmented reality rooms to simulate what life will be like when they set sail to take an ACTUAL EXPLORATION! YEAH! They get to actually go out into the world and explore using the skills they learned at the Explorer Academy! Sounds like my kind of school!! But something sinister seems to be going on amidst all of the hubbub. Nebula (a medicine company) wants to stop the explorers from finding a special substance from jellyfish that can cure every single disease in the world, which would eventually put Nebula out of service (because no one is getting sick and buying their medicine)! LIKE, WHO WOULD DO THAT?!? Nebula is the DEFINITION of evil! And a strange man keeps popping up in Cruz's life... more like following him! Why is all of this happening to Cruz? Find out in Explorer Academy: The Nebula Secret. This book is spectacular! I loved it because it had fun codes, and awesome story and writing style, and showed how cool exploring is! I would absolutely LOVE to attend Explorer Academy! This book was overall FABULOUS! I recommend this book to anyone, at any age!

How many people want a restart on life? A clean slate, a fresh page, a do-over? Chase Ambrose got exactly this. Chase fell off the roof of his house-- but he barely remembers doing it. He hit his head at the bottom of his fall and got amnesia, and he can't remember ANYTHING. His family, friends, and past life? Forgotten. Gone. So Chase is more than a little confused when at school, everyone keeps their distance from him, except two kids named Aaron and Bear, who were apparently his best friends in his life before amnesia. But they're very confused with the way he acts, and tell him that he's a lot different now then he used to be before his fall. Chase soon finds out he was a bully and a jerk to everyone in the life he can't remember, but he doesn't want to be one in his new restart on life. It will take a lot of work to show everyone he's changed, though. Through finding real friends in video club, exploring his unknown past, and even a court trial, Chase discovers the importance of being true to himself. This is definitely a book you won't forget (unlike Chase :D) and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a lot of laughs, a middle school setting, and an amazing story. This book kept me on the edge of my seat, and it's one of the best books I've read this year so far! I recommend this great read to ages 8+

Have you ever imagined that elves could be real? Or that dinosaurs were still alive? Even that places like Atlantis were real? Well all of those things are real in The Keeper Of The Lost Cities. Here are some things that happen in the book. Sophie was shocked when someone told her she was an elf. He was also an elf too. So that explained to Sophie that she can read minds after she hit her head when she was 5. When someone picks her up and gets her to the elvin world the council there tells her that she is an elf. She is now living with 2 people Grady and Edaline. They used to have a daughter named Jolie and died in a fire. She almost went to Exile for breaking the law. She is sad because when she went to the elvin world to live there they had to brainwash her family. She soon realizes that she was the project of the moon lark, meaning that the Black swan made her In the elvin world you have powers and if you had more than one it was really rare and Sophie has a lot more than one power. People kidnapped her while she was in a cave. They tried to brainwash her but didn’t work. They took off her tracker and put it in the ocean so it looked like she died. She sent out a signal to Fitz but Fitz thought it was a trap because he went to her funeral. They told him that if you don’t come then I will die. A theme I learned from this book was, ‘don’t be afraid to do something’. Sophie was scared at times but she always overcame it. For example when she was at the top 2 at the splotching match. She was going against Fitz who has been winning for years but she still ended up winning. Sophie never loses courage in what she does even if it means risking her life. Some memorable characters are Sophie and Dex. Sophie is good at everything; she beat Fitz in a splotching match and Fitz has been winning for years. Sophie was told she was an elf and had multiple powers. She goes to a school named Foxfire. Her group of friends always had her back when Stina always teased her. In that group of friends there is Biana, Dex, Fritz, Keefe, Marella, and of course Sophie. Dex is Sophie’s best friend. He is smart and is not failing alchemy. Most people fail alchemy. There are some memorable fictional places that Messenger uses in Keeper of the Lost Cities. There are similar buildings in the elvin world that we have here, such as gates and big houses, trees that take in pollution, gardens and cliffs and even caves. Despite the great parts that I enjoyed from Keeper of the Lost Cities, there were some parts that were confusing. I just didn’t understand how a brainpush worked. After you get energy after years does your brain just push the energy out like a powerful blast? I will still give it five stars because you could feel how the character feels. When Sophie left her family you could feel the pain she was feeling like leaving your family after living with them for so long was heartbreaking. I also liked how the book could be very unpredictable, and you find out new things page after page. Overall, I would recommend this book to 3rd grade and older, as there is some violence, but it seems that it would be very enjoyable for people who like exciting books that give you a rollercoaster of a ride.

This book is really cool. Its kinda like a modern adaption of The Original Boxcar Children. The Orphans are recruited by a secret society and are supposed to return artifacts to the right place. The children go on an adventure around the globe. Its a fun and exciting book and I would recommend it to anyone who loves a good adventure!

I absolutely love this book !! I have been re-reading this book for at least 6 times as its so good. I really enjoyed the setting and writing style of this book. The main characters include Violet,Benny,Jesse and Henry. These characters are very kind,creative and resourceful.Their journey includes a lot of fun,mystery and cozy vibes.I like it how they reuse alot of things and turn it into something useful yet extraordinary.We can learn alot from these characters, especially how to enjoy each and every moment in our life no matter how small they are. I recommend this book to each one you. Oopsies!! I forgot to mention that this is a book series which consists around 200 books.This book review is on the book in this series and there is a lot ahead readers! I have just read 6 books in this series which is nothing comparing to what is there ahead to read. Anyways,I am not going too deep into this book as I think its fun reading and exploring things on your own. When we go in this journey with them ,we feel that we too are one of them.I cannot wait to continue this reading journey with Henry,Jesse,Violet and Benny.

If you didn't know before reading this book, it's the second book in the Underland Chronicles. Read the first book first. I may accidently spoil something about the first in the review, but I doubt it. Still, no one likes a spoiler. Only really weird people. (A.k.a.: some of my closest friends, but whatever.) After returning from the Underland the first time, Gregor swore never to return. But now he has no choice. The giant cockroaches that inhabit the Underland have kidnapped his sister, who they call their "princess". At first Gregor's angry about this, but then he found out their reason. It was foretold in a prophesy that if the rats killed Boots, they would rule the Underland. And if it meant they would have power over the Regalians. . . the rats would stop at nothing until she was dead.

James Patterson tells a unique story about how he started his own book company. He and his friends devise crazy plans to make his dream come true. At one point, in James' imagination, he meets fictional aliens; (Chapter 3.) That part was hilarious! James Patterson sure spins a fun tale!

Does the name "Jacky Ha-Ha" ring a bell? It might if you've read Mr. Patterson's bestselling hit series, I Funny. But if you haven't, don't despair! This book was new, original, and I loved it all the more because it reminded me of Jamie Grimm (from the I Funny series) yet had a completely unique and different character, Jacky! What I absolutely loved about this book is the timeline it's set in; the 1990's. Sadly, nowadays you don't really get books that are set in the past unless they're thick history books that have been collecting dust for the last few decades; which is why I really enjoyed this book. Not set so far back in the past that I find myself completely unable to relate to Jacky, but set nicely a decade or two ago so that I can enjoy learning what her life was like. Overall, really entertaining, (plus I LOVE her jokes, her fiery spirit, and her acrobatic abilities *wink*), heartwarming, and it definitely makes me dying to read the next book if this turns out to be a series!
