Reviewer: Ryan K If you enjoy action, then Killer Species is the book for you. This mixes a little fantasy and a little science fiction together. There is some violence that may never make you want to swim in the ocean again though! This story is about a mad scientist named Dr. Catalyst who lives in Florida and creates mixed creatures. One of his creations is a mix between a reef shark and a barracuda that attacks humans and lionfish. He creates this creature to get revenge on Emmett Doyle, a boy who made his other creature (in book 1) turn against him. Will Emmett and Calvin b

Reviewer: Halle W I recommend this book to anyone who likes detailed and thrilling stories. There are mysterious creatures, suspenseful times, and lots of action. I personally loved the battle/destruction of Hekate's Shaow Realm the most. Author: Jaqueline West
Reviewer: Taylor N This mystery book is about eleven year old Olive, who had just moved into her new house on Linden Street with her parents. She came across a violent colored room where there was a chest of drawers. On it's back, she found a pair of spectacles and when she wears them, she can go through special paintings the previous home owner, Mr. McMartin, had made. I loved this book and I would recommend it to anyone who likes mysteries. It is like having a puzzle but with no pieces. I cannot wait to read the next book in this series. Author: Rick Riordan

Reviewer: Caleb D I normally do not like fantasy, but the cover of this book looked really cool so I tried it. It is similar to The Hobbit, which is a book that I do like. In Chapter 10 they go to a white tower in a majestic place filled with horrible creatures. I won't tell you more as that is the climax of the story. It was also my favorite part. If you like suspense and action this is a good book. I actually want to read the others in the series now too! Author: Wendy Mass
Reviewer: Maggie L This is a fantasy book that caught my attention when I looked at the cover. Since my 11th birthday will be here soon, I thought I would read it. This story is about Leo and Amanda who are 10 years old and were best friends when they were younger. They celebrate their birthdays together because they were born on the same day. As they have grown older, Amanda overheard Leo tell his friends that he did not really like to hang out with her. He doesn't truly feel that way, but was trying to be cool around his friends. The story is about how their birthdays keep repeating and they need to stop that day. It is also about friendship. I would recommend this book to my friends and other kids my age. There are funny parts to the story and it is good to teach us about being a g Author: Joan Hulub and Suzanne Williams
Reviewer: Lynn N This is a fantasy story about many of the Greek gods and goddesses. It is mostly about Medusa, a girl who goes to Mount Olympus Academy. There is a lot of comedy and adventure in this story. Medusa wants to be an immortal like the others at the Academy because it would make her more popular. Author: Rick Riordan
Reviewer: Hernan B Do you like Egyptian magic or gods? This could be the book for you then. This is a fantasy book because there are magic powers. The story is about three people and the Egyptian god, Set, who came back to life. Carter and Sadie are trying to save the world from him, as Set is the most evil of all the Egyptian gods. Set is trying to take over the world with a big storm that would destroy everyone and take the throne back from Osiris. My favorite part of the book was when Carter and Sadie fought the Moose, who was a Set animal. I recommend this book to anyone who likes magic and Egyptian gods, and lots of excitement. There is a lot of action and strategy in this book. |
