A has some big surprises for his girls in this book. I absolutely loved it! It was so good and even more interesting then the first, which is hard to believe since the first book was so great! See, I’m so excited about how good this book is that I’m using exclamation marks for every sentence! I would definitely recommend this book to all. I was never bored, and I just couldn’t stop reading! I will definitely continue to read the rest of the series. [moomoomoo 222]

I loved this book! It’s not humorous, but also very dramatic. I loved the suspense and how it tricks you into who “A” really is. I watched a few shows and decided to read the book. I had to keep reading to find out who murdered Ali. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. Book Four of the Pretty Little Liars series. [??]

February 14, 2012 — falconmedia
Cass, Max-Ernest, and Yo-Yoji are at it again. This time, though, they almost had the secret. After it crumbled away in her hands, Cass, the supposedly “secret keeper,” will try anything to get back the knowledge of her great ancestor, the Jester. This story isn’t about him. It’s about the secret. The ancient Egyptian secret that holds the key to life is still out there. Actually, it’s inches away from Cass’s pointy ears. After taking a trip to the local museum, Cass manages to break off a priceless mummy’s finger. All three must stay and repay their debt by working. They find something much more – the mummy is the doctor that discovered the secret. Yes, The Secret! The three travel across the country to a place of lights, magic, pyramids, and the revealing of the secret.
Have you ever had ancient villains trying to murder you? Well, if you read this book, you’ll be on the edge of your seat.

Pretty Little Liars
February 13, 2012 — falconmediaIn seventh grade, Emily, Spencer, Hanna, Aria, and Alison were best friends until Alison disappeared. Four years later the girls are no longer friends – but they still share one HUGE secret. They begin getting mysterious texts and emails from some anonymous person named “A” – texts that threaten to unleash their secrets and destroy their lives. Now, the girls are wondering if Alison is back. Is “A” actually Alison?
This book was so amazingly interesting! It blew me away. The beginning was a bit slow, but once “A” started to send text messages to the four girls, the book quickly began to raise my interest. Beware! Once you start to read it you won’t be able to stop yourself from reading the rest of the series! [meowperson]
This Book Is Not Good for You
January 13, 2012 — falconmediaThe Midnight Sun is at it again. This time they’re in a cacao plantation. But where is it? It’s in a zoo. Why a cacao plantation, you may ask? Well, the villain, Señor Hugo, is trying to make a chocolate so rich it will send Cass back to the past to get the secret from her great ancestor, the jester.
I really liked this book, just like all of the others in the Secret series. The plot twists and turns. All of the footnotes add compelling details. Even better the appendix, it shows you even more that the book can’t explain within the plot, such as Max-Ernest’s 100 languages to say hello. Overall, I loved this book. [That Girl]
The Nightmare
January 10, 2012 — falconmediaThis story is about nightmares that come to life. An ancient artifact, when in the hands of the wrong person, puts a curse on some unlucky people and makes their nightmares come alive. I loved this book! It combined the perfect amount of mystery and spine-chilling tales. Anyone who loves creepy books will consider this a new favorite. Definitely a must read! There are many plot twists, you will be surprised and scared. It’s very dark, so read at your own risk. You will be on the edge of your seat practically the whole time. The nightmares not only come true in this book, they get even worse. They can’t actually hurt you, but beware! [unknown 000]
The Maze of Bones
January 9, 2012 — falconmediaMeet one of the most amazing families of the world in this story. Dan and Amy have to find all of the clues because somebody had died.

Cryer’s Cross
January 6, 2012 — falconmediaFix the trash can so the dent is facing just the right way. Align the dry markers for the eraseboard in a row, ROY G BIV order of course! Straighten the curtains just right. Adjust the desks so there are six at each quadrant. This is Kendall Fletcher’s (a senior girl with OCD) morning routine. Nico, her boyfriend, always sits comfortingly next to her. Nico starts acting weird and disappears just like Tiffany Quinn. On top of all this, Kendall is stressed because soccer is canceled and she worries about not getting into her dream college. All is better when Kendall sits at Nico’s desk. She hears his sweet voice beckon,”Come to Cryer’s Pass.”
This book is filled with horror, suspense, adventure, and drama. Anyone would easily love this book. It made me bite my fingers to little nubs from all the tension. It almost made me cry at the end. Lisa McMann’s style of writing is awesome. I highly recommend that you read all of her books – especially this one! [rocky158]

December 16, 2011 — falconmedia
See if you’re good enough to read the secret of this hilarious book. Three different characters – all kinds of situations – with no clue what will happen next. Experience a different emotion around every corner! This book is very funny. It has a lot of pictures and is a good-size book to read. I liked Chapter 1 because it’s all X’s and doesn’t give you a clue about who the characters are. [UnicornPlanet]

Tightrope
October 10, 2011 — falconmediaOkay, here’s the deal: 14-year-old Ashley is nice and sweet with taking care of her sick mother, and doing well in school.

The Mystery of the Fool and the Vanisher
September 24, 2011 — falconmediaThis guy goes into a shed and finds a recording. He listens to it and finds out there are fairies, and where they live. This book was okay. The beginning kind of confused me. After that, the story was smooth. The fairies are very dangerous. There were also elves involved, but they didn’t matter. [Donkey Kong]
The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Prisoner’s Dilemma
June 1, 2011 — falconmedia
In the final book of this series, Mr. Curtain is back and determined to possess his beloved Whisperer again also.

However, there has been a new development in the Society that is good help indeed. Constance has the ability to read minds and transmit thoughts! Using her ability, she sends messages to Mr. Benedict, who is then able to come to the childrens’ aid.
I loved this book because it was different from the two books before it. I like how it included practical aspects like a failed escape attempt. There were new interesting events like Constance and her new ability to read minds. I also like how this book incorporates intellectual problem solving and decision making with lots of action! Overall, this book was outstanding! [Ork Dork]

Two-Minute Mysteries
April 28, 2011 — falconmediaThere are a whole bunch of mysteries in this book. My favorite one was “The Case of the Hunting Accident.” This is where Doc Haledjian gave Thema a rifle to hunt, but he put poison in it. Nobody knew!
I liked how there were so many different cases and you get to solve them. I didn’t like how the answer was given in the story. People who like to try to figure out mysteries would like this book. The gunner in “The Case of the Hunting Accident” was dumb because he saw a purple cartridge in the gun, but didn’t seem to care. [ICE BOWL 200 & 10]
The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey
April 26, 2011 — falconmedia

I thought it was a fabulous book and if you like any other of Eoin Colfer’s other books (Artemis Fowl, The Supernaturalist, The Wish List, Airman, etc.) you’re sure to love this book. Although I’d prefer Artemis Fowl, I flew through this one. Just like many other of his books, the action starts at the front cover. All around good book. [Zeezeehorn]

This book is a murder mystery about ten people “invited” by “Mr. UN Owen” (later discovered to mean “Uknown”) to Indian Island. The ten people each have unique backgrounds and are accused of murders at the island. The murders seem to follow the nursery rhyme, Ten Little Indians. The murderer remains unknown until the end and I found the ten people’s lives, backgrounds and murders interesting. It’s a good read, and it isn’t scary or horrifying, it’ s interesting.
