This Book Is Not Good for You

The 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

falconmedia — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 14:39:20 +0000

This 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

Meet 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. This book was very cool with many exciting scenes. It was hard sometimes to find the clues. My favorite characters were Dan and Amy because they had to find the clues. [SR]

Cryer’s Cross

Fix 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]

The Name of This Book Is Secret

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]

Envy

Said one Falcon upon returning Envy: “This is one of the best books I’ve read, and you know how much I read. You need to tell all the other students to read it. For real, tell them!”

The Ghost of Fossil Glen

A girl named Allie is visited by the ghost of 11 year-old Lucy Stiles. She was murdered by her stepfather after her father died. She came to Allie because they have a lot in common, and Lucy wants to bring her murderer to justice. How much of a challenge can 11-year-old Allie take? I like this book because it was full of action and suspense. If you like mysteries you’ll love this book! [bubbleguppies354]

Tightrope

falconmedia — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 01:46:42 +0000

Okay, here’s the deal: 14-year-old Ashley is nice and sweet with taking care of her sick mother, and doing well in school. No one suspects she’s Cindy, a daredevil graffiti artist doing art in the most unexpected places. When someone sends her scary and disturbing notes, she can only turn to one person – Eddie Beale, the bad boy in the neighborhood. Eddie thinks he knows the person responsible, Geoffrey Halt, but it’s not. Will Ashley ever find the culprit responsible?

I really liked Ashley – she’s very mysterious in a good way. My favorite scene is the end, I swear no one will expect it coming. I really liked the book overall. I never liked mystery books, but this book changed my whole mind. [Bubblegumpop346]
