The Wizard Heir

The Wizard HeirSeph always got expelled from the schools he attended because of “accidents.” His caretaker sends him to Havens, a school for troubled kids. Seph soon finds out that it’s a cult. He must decide whether to join.  I really didn’t really like it. It wasn’t interesting to me until the very end of the story.  [Yahoo!!]

Flight Explorer

Flight ExplorerThis comic book has a whole bunch of short stories (in comic form) including sci-fi, fantasy, and some just plain weird. There is a comic about mushrooms, a “perfect” cat, and much more.  My favorite comic was probably the first one because it has a very surprising ending. I also liked the comic involving this guy who got stuck in traffic on the way home from work, so he used an alterate “route.” It was a good mix of action, funny, and weird comics.  [ππ]

Elsewhere

What happens when you die? This question is impossible to answer because you never know for sure until you have the experience. Do you go to Heaven? Do you just die? Or do you go to Elsewhere?

Huh? Elsewhere? Yes, Elsewhere. It’s a place where the dead age backwards, only to be sent back to be reborn on Earth.

I loved this book! It keeps you turning pages. Once you start reading, it’s nearly impossible to stop. Unlike some other books, this book is good right from the start. It may look long to some people who aren’t big readers, but it won’t take long to read because you won’t be able to stop. This book has many parts that are very funny and very surprising. It was surprising when she woke up in a magic cruise ship, bald with random stitches behind her ear. It also surprised me when she found out about Elsewhere and how people age backwards. She was reunited with her grandmother who had passed. Her grandmother took her to get a job. There she found out that she could speak to dogs. She adopted the beautiful, little dog she had met. Find out more, check out Elsewhere!  [Unicorns Eating Rainbows]

Breaking Dawn

breakingdawnBella (a mortal) and Edward (a vampire) get married. For their honeymoon, they go to an island. Bella gets pregnant, but has a hard time surviving with a vampire/human baby inside of her. Will she live?

My favorite scene was when Edward and Bella got married. My favorite character was Edward because he protects Bella in the book. It made me laugh when Bella thought some of the names for the baby were lame. I think readers who love vampire romance would love this book!  [the leo lover 4]

Incarceron

IncarceronThis is a book of two different worlds. Claudia is living in the lap of luxury in a “utopian” society of feudalism, bound by protocol and rules. In the prison Incarceron, a narky-driven world, Finn is at its focus.  Finn is what people call an astarseer, and they believe he can lead them out of the prison. Claudia finds a crystal key that has a link with the replica that Finn finds. They must use it as a key to escape.

All in all, this book was mediocre at best. The wording was insufferably uninformative and bland. The plot was good, but you could kind of see the end. I would not recommend this book to read.  The sequel is Sapphique.  [frostling 101]

The Ruins of Gorlan

The Ranger's Apprentice 1: The Ruins of GorlanWill is an orphan in Redmont Castle with a few of his friends. He is chosen to become a Ranger’s apprentice. He and Halt, his teacher, go out to fight the Kalkara. They return safely and are greeted with open arms.  I really enjoyed this book because there was a lot of action and fighting. A major character gets hurt, which is very interesting.  Book 1 of the popular series The Ranger’s Apprentice.  [nk]

The Fire Within

A man named David Rain becomes a tenant at the Pennykettle house, which is full of clay dragons. He soon starts to write books for a little girl named Lucy. This book comes to life.

This book was a great starter that drew me into the series. I had to read more. It was pretty funny and had some good jokes. The cliffhangers kept me reading. This book was really unique, but the author could have added more.  [Gerrard 102]

Coraline

coralineWhen Coraline moves to a new house she notices some strange things, but her parents don’t believe her. She finds a mysterious passage to another world where her “other mother” lives. She becomes trapped in the other mother’s lair forever. How will she find her way out?

I really liked this book. Horror/fantasy books are my favorite.  [bubble gum pop 245]

Fire Star

Fire StarDavid Rain saves the girl he lives with from her evil abductor, who is her aunt.  That was not their only enemy though. A group called the IX is after David Rain. I thought it was a great book! The book was exciting, adventurous, funny, and mysterious altogether. This book was also sad because you could feel the people and how they felt. If the author had added more, I would have loved it even more!  Book 3 of The Last Dragon Chronicles.  [Gerrard 102]

Zorgamazoo

ZorgamazooKatrina Katrell lives with her aunt, Mrs. Krabone. She saw a strange creature and tried to tell her aunt, but just got scolded. The creature was called a zorgle named Morty. Morty and Katrina work together to find the zorgles that escaped from the Zorgmazoo. She meets all different kinds of creatures on the way.

I thought this book was very clever. I liked how the story used different fonts to express the story. I liked reading about all of the different characters and the clever, rhyming word choices. I liked Morty, but I liked Katrina better.  [Carebear 443]

The Fire Eternal

The Fire EternalDavid Rain, who mysteriously disappears, comes back from another dimension after five years to his wife and daughter that he never met. He once again has to save the world from Aunt Gwillina and the IX.

I thought this book was amazing. I never thought David would come back, and he does. This was a suspenseful, amazing and great book! It also had a little humor. Add a little more humor and it would be the best book in the world. This book is so unique, I loved it. Book 4 of The Last Dragon series.  [Gerrard 102]

The Beast of Noor

The Beast of NoorThis is a fantasy tale of unfolding mysteries and old myths that may or may not be real. The Shriker is the one thing that the people know is real. The Shriker haunts, or rather hunts, the people of Noor in the dead of night. The townspeople have labeled it a monster. Hanna and Miles Ferrell know it was their ancestor that made it what it is today. They must be the ones to stop it!

Sure, the book sounds great, but it really didn’t live up to my expectations. I liked the plot, but the characters were a tad bit too dull for my taste. Also, the author brought in fairies. In my opinion, fairies have absolutely nothing to do with a huge wolf that eats townspeople.  [Wild Pancake]

The Lightning Thief

lightningthiefThe story begins and you meet Percy. Later Percy finds out that he is a demigod; he is sent to a special demigod camp. When Zeus’ lightning bolt is stolen, everyone expects that Percy did it. Will Percy find the bolt?  Will the gods be defeated?  Overall I really liked this book. I think others should read it too! It’s great for all ages, especially for those who like Greek mythology.  [The Bergermister 37]

Witch Catcher

Witch CatcherA witch catches a creature and keeps it locked up in a little ball. A girl finds the creature and helps it out. She finds out that her father’s girlfriend is the witch catcher.  I liked the adventurous mood of this book.  My favorite character was the little creature. It could talk and was kind of sassy. My favorite scene was when the girl turned into a squirrel.  [Who am I?]

Icefire

IcefireIn this book a man named David is in a house full of clay dragons.  He is a tenant.  The girl who lives in the house gets abducted and taken to raise a dragon.  I thought it was great.  There was good writing, great plot, and the suspense was killing.  There were some great jokes but it was more to grab you and make you never stop reading.  If they added more it would be great.  This is an awesome, unique story.  Book 2 of The Last Dragon Chronicles. [Gerrard102]

The Lost Hero

The Lost HeroA guy named Jason wakes up on a bus and doesn’t know who he is. He has a girlfriend named Piper and his best friend is Leo. They find out that he is a demigod.  They travel to Camp Half-blood. Jason turns out to be the son of Zeus. They go on a quest to save a god named Hera. Annabeth finds out that Percy Jackson lost his memory and he is at a Roman camp.

I thought this book was packed with action. This is the next series of the Percy Jackson books. This book was good because I like learning about Greek gods.  [Finn the Human]
