Flawless

falconmedia — Fri, 04 May 2012 09:00:00 +0000

This is a sequel to Pretty Little Liars. Who is is A? Is A gone – or is he back? The four girls have their suspicions, but A is too clever for even them. 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]

Nick Diamond was framed for a jewelry robbery. He is sent to prison with Johnny Powers, Public Enemy Number One. The only way to escape is to get help from his dimmer brother, Tim. This book was amazing. I could not find a spot to stop because the whole story was so good! If you want to know the rest of the story, go ahead and read this book! I highly recommend it.

Unbelievable

This story is a continuation of the last one. There are four girls trying to find out who killed their childhood friend, Ali. Each girl has her own problems, but Hannah is the one who knows too much about “A” and the whole situation.

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. [??]

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. The narrator’s sense of humor is everywhere, and the connections to all of the other books are amazing. As Pseudonymous Bosch tells you, YOU HAVE TO STOP THIS! Book Two in the Secret Series.

Pretty Little Liars

falconmedia — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 14:52:11 +0000

In 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

falconmedia — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 18:00:58 +0000

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

falconmedia — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 14:17:41 +0000

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

falconmedia — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 20:08:36 +0000

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

falconmedia — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 08:55:05 +0000

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

falconmedia — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 17:41:28 +0000

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

falconmedia — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 15:21:55 +0000

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]

The Mystery of the Fool and the Vanisher

falconmedia — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 03:41:58 +0000

This 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

falconmedia — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 10:10:58 +0000

In the final book of this series, Mr. Curtain is back and determined to possess his beloved Whisperer again also. This time he has figured everything out and even almost succeeds after capturing all the members of the Mysterious Benedict Society (Reynie, Kate, Sticky, and Constance). 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]

At the water’s edge, Aaron confesses he’s scared of his twin brother, Nathan. Aaron is never scared. Fifteen minutes after Aaron and Jeremy, his best friend, get to their homes, Aaron is murdered. The main suspect is Nathan. When Jeremy rats him out, his life gets rough.

I liked this book probably because it was dangerous and suspenseful. If you like mystery, danger, and suspense, you will love this book. Don’t read it if you don’t like violence or death. [Burn'em all]

Two-Minute Mysteries

falconmedia — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 16:05:34 +0000

There 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

falconmedia — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 14:02:12 +0000

In this book, The Mysterious Benedict Society (MBS) meets for a second adventure. Mr. Benedict has planned for the four members of the MBS to reunite one year after their first adventure together.

Read the book to find out what happens on the perilous journey to save Mr. Benedict.

I was surprised as I was reading the book about the dangers that the four members of the MBS narrowly escape. Using their wits and their strange abilities and talents, the kids figure out many things and escape danger all by themselves on a trip across the globe. This book really captured and engaged me. I could feel the suspense! You must read this book! [BaNaNa Bowl]

However, when he gets back, Sis is gone. A man, Mr. Dupin, helps him. It is very strange. Who is Mr. Dupin? Will Edmund ever see his sister?

I really liked this book, it was thrilling to read. The author is very good. I like how he used suspense to keep the reader interested. [22laxgirl24]

Double or Die

falconmedia — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 13:53:08 +0000

When a professor mysteriously disappears, two kids set out to save him. Soon, though, they quickly stumble when their clues are all hidden.

I thought it was good, full of action and suspense. Also, it had a lot of surprising twists. It is one of the best books I ever read. It made me laugh while also making me want to never stop reading. It drew me in and didn’t let me out. [Go Raven 68]
