A boy named Alex got kidnapped by Natasha the witch oh no! Alex befriends a a girl named Yasmin. If you like adventure, suspense, and action read this book. Nightbooks is a book by J.A White and it was published in July,24,2018. If you like horror that is a bit scary but not that scary I recommend this book to you. In the story the character is a boy named Alex. An evil witch named Natasha trapped Alex in her magic apartment using magical illusions of Alex’s favorite things. Alex wanted to escape but Natasha had a magical key so Alex could not escape. When Alex was forced to write scary stories for Natasha he wrote them in the library. He saw notes from an unknown girl with directions on how to escape. Alex called this person a unicorn girl. Because she had a unicorn pendant. Alex made friends with a girl named Yasmin who Natasha had also trapped. Alex could not find all the notes written by unicorn girl so Yasmin decided to help Alex find the notes so they could both escape. When they found the notes they battled Natasha and managed to escape and live happily. In my opinion the characters in Night Books would act friendly once they got to know Alex better and that they’re all unique. Alex the main character is brave And kind. Alex is brave because even though he is going to get in trouble by Natasha the witch for trying to escape he is still trying to find a way. Alex is Also kind because in the book Natasha was going to blast Yasmin when she released an evil magic plant on accident but alex took the blame so Yasmin would not get hurt. This is my evidence on how Alex is kind and brave. Yasmin a secondary character is afraid and obeying at first but afterwards she is friendly And confident. Yasmin was afraid in the story because Natasha would hurt her if she made a mistake.Yasmin is obeying because in the story Yasmin would do all The chores and would act like a servant to Natasha. When Yasmin became friends with Alex she started to act friendly like in the story when Alex was look for Notes from unicorn girl Yasmin decided to help him. So Alexc could write stories To read to Natasha. She is also confident like in the story said there was a way to escape Alex was starting to lose hope. What i like most about the book Nightbooks is that is talks about making friends and being yourself. Examples that the book talks about my topic is that Alex would try and befriend people like lenore and Yasmin. Yasmin has a unique personality of before making friends she will have to trust them first and lenore’s personality is loyal because even though Natasha has hurt her many times she is still trying to help. These are my examples of the topic i said about Nightbooks. Nightbooks was a very intriguing book and if you like horror that is a little scary i recommend this book to you. I would most definitely recommend this book to people who get scared easily because the scares are mild. I would not recommend this book to people who love scares because the horror might seem lame and empty.

Liberty Johansen is just trying to deal. Who knew that her parents would get divorced, her dad would get a new girlfriend, and no one at school would talk to her anymore? In between all this there is just one bright place. Liberty finds a meteorite! In spite of everything Liberty continues to believe through the tough times, and even though everything seems against her, fights her way to a happier ending. This book was amazing, and I don't see why more people haven't read it. I would encourage you to read it if you enjoy looking up at the sky, or just aren't having such a great time. Thanks for reading!

Fablehaven: Rise of the Evening Star has just become the best book I have ever read! It starts off from the first book, when Kendra and Seth find themselves back at Fablehaven after some trouble in their world. At Fablehaven, three new people have been employed. However, a betrayal strikes and Fablehaven is in chaos again. My notes- if you liked the first book, this is one hundred times better! It is filled with suspense, action, mystery (lots and lots), and awesomely surprising surprises! In the second volume of an amazing series, nothing is as it seems! I couldn't put it down- I've read a lot of books but this has seriously awed me. My suggestion when reading this? No matter what, don't skip around, because you might see something that would ruin it for you.

This book surprised me from the very beginning! It was an excellent read, and - BONUS - it's a summer reading book! Fourteen-year-old Kendra feels abandoned when her parents leave her and eleven-year-old Seth at Grandpa and Grandma Sorenson's (who they BARELY KNOW) house while Mom and Dad go on a cruise. Mom and Dad say they won't enjoy it, but let's be honest kids, we all see through that lie. In the first couple of days there, several strange things happen. First of all, there are signs leading up to the entrance gate, the last one being the most disturbing: Certain Death Awaits. They aren't allowed to go into the woods or the barn. Dale, one his Grandpa Sorenson's few workers, leaves fresh milk in a bucket for butterflies. It turns out the playroom is only half of the attic! And what will they key-treasure-hunt lead to? When Seth gets bored and goes into the forest anyway, he discovers a witch living in a hut in the middle of nowhere. (Of course Kendra doesn't believe him-right?) When he goes back again he finds a giant hidden beautiful pond, with swans and the works! What was his Grandfather hiding? Kendra finally finds all the keys to open the mysterious journal...but it's blank? WHAT'S GOING ON? The only words are - DRINK THE MILK. Needing a guinea pig, Kendra retrieves Seth and tells him that the milk tastes amazing. Unless Seth's acting skills got a whole lot better without her knowing, this farm isn't what Grandpa says it is. Welcome to FABLEHAVEN! Land of fairies, witches, imps, naiads, trolls, and much much more! --BKS

Stung and hurt because she wasn't voted as carnival leader, Abby storms back home with cumulonimbus clouds in her thoughts and actions. So it's a mild reprieve when she jumps into the mirror with her brother Jonah and lands in the Princess and the Pea fairytale...kind of. This time, Abby is determined not to mess anything up. But when she's too afraid to sleep atop the hundred mattresses given to her, everyone thinks she couldn't sleep because she sensed the pea under the mattresses, and suddenly Abby's dubbed a princess! After a while, Abby starts warming up to the princess treatment - who can argue when you have people waiting on you hand and foot, after all? - but knows she must find a real princess, someone who is truly good deep inside. And so, the princess games are on! But after venturing to the dark side of the moon and back with these games, and also having to fend off a snooty prince (all in a day's work!), Abby realizes that genuine leadership means stepping aside sometimes. Beautiful, creative, and inherently funny, this wonderful fractured fairy tale by Sarah Mlynowski is not to be missed!

The Adventurers Guild is the most dangerous guild of all guilds- they guard outside the wall (There is a wall guarding the city) and fight monsters. Many adventurers die, as well. Brock, Zed, and 2 other friends get chosen to be in the guild- right when a disaster strikes. The wall has focus shards to keep monsters away, and the focus shards are expiring. They need to find the focus spell before monsters destroy the city. Will one group of friends with normal clothes and terrified looks in their face be able to save the day? Overall this is a really fun adventure book that I couldn't put down after I started reading it.

Whatever After: Fairest of All is a pretty good book. Now, I'm not a fairy tale, happy ever after type of person, but I've got to admit, this novel was stunning. Abby has a realistic and typical teenage girl attitude, while Jonah is all for adventure. Now, Abby just wants to go home to her old house, and get away from Smithville. She hates the new place, and is totally creeped out by a mirror in the basement. But obviously, her annoying little brother always wrecks her chances of trying to maintain a normal life in the area. While "babysitting" Jonah, they end up being whisked away into the story of Snow White. At first, they have no idea what's going on and they need to find a way out. After exploring, they find an old lady with a basket of apples walking towards a pale- skinned girl with black hair. Wait a second...isn't that from a fairy tale or something? Oh yeah...it's Snow White...but she's about to get poisoned! After supposedly saving the day by not letting Snow White eat the poisoned apples, they realize their mistake. How will Snow White find her prince now? Oops. Funny, unique and eventful, this book will definitely appeal to grades 3-6+. This is a great book, and I hope you consider reading it over the summer!
