Percy Jackson's Greek Gods
By Rick Riordan
AMAZING!!!!!!!! This book was... I don't know but it was one of my favorites from Rick Riordan... It talks about 12 gods/goddesses: Hestia, Demeter, Persephone, Hera, Hades, Poseideon, Zeus, Athena, Aphrodite, Ares, Hephaestus, Apollo, Artemis, Hermes, and Dionysus... it also covered how the "world formed"(btw I'm a Christian so ya...) and how cannibalism was introduced(scary thought)... It could've been serious, but the way it was narrated(Percy Jackson) made me laugh the whole entire time, I didn't know if it was Rick's intention... but it made learning new facts of mythologies more easier, funnier, and a faster way to remember these myths... oh ya I don't know if this counts as spoiling but the book is HUGEEEEEEEEEEE when I mean huge it mean ENORMOUSLY HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had know idea that this book would be BIG, I thought it was one of those regular sized books that were thick BUT it was HUGEEEEEEEEE.... I guess that's another reason why it made the book more fun to read... I had read like huge books when I was like 3/4/5... but for the first time in forever(:D) I read a huge, witty, and factual book... So I urge you guys to read this book for fans of Rick Riordan's writing(Percy Jackson/Kane Chronicles/Heroes of Olympus) and adventurous, historical, hilarious types of book... this will be the perfect book for you to read... :-D
Dog Man: Fetch-22: From the Creator of Captain Underpants (Dog Man #8)
By Dav Pilkey
This book is a funny, action packed and a not a wast of your time. Lets get right into it. The Main characters in the book are: Dog man, Little Pete, Pete and Grandpa. There is a very bad villain and flying Evil tad poles. there is a ton of action and I believe many people of different ages can read this like 4-11. my favorite part in the story is when the heroes are out numbered and to find out what happens next read this book.
Darkstalker (Wings of Fire: Legends)
By Tui T. Sutherland
Get ready to be wowed by Tui T. Sutherland's first installment in the "Legends" spin-off series! Told from the perspective of three different dragons- Clearsight the NightWing, Fathom the SeaWing, and Darkstalker himself, this beautifully crafted novel shows us what motivated Darkstalker to become the twisted dragon we know well as of the modern arcs. I absolutely adored every page of this book. It gave us rich insight to the history of Pyrrhia, from its normalization of animi to the fact that RainWings' powers were actually well-known, featured in the guide to the tribes, and feared by many. Despite Darkstalker's villainy, he was a character the reader could easily empathize with, and his backstory was fleshed-out, and, in the grand scheme of things, made sense. Clearsight was a lovely POV, although I'd like to get a bit more detail as to why her seer powers were so strong, and if it could happen again in the modern timeline. Fathom's character itself seemed a bit lacking, and it was rather reminiscent of Turtle- now we know why Darkstalker called him that when he summoned him in Talons of Power- but his chapters were filled with action, suspense, and emotion. His past trauma was something rarely explored in middle-grade books such as Wings of Fire, but it was executed wonderfully. The massacre scene was amazingly written, and gave me chills the first time I read it. The three protagonists worked wonderfully together, and Darkstalker's spiral into madness was gradual and extremely interesting to watch play out. I do wish Arctic's death was described in a bit more detail, although I have a hunch that if it was, this wouldn't be a middle-grade novel. Darkstalker's relationship with Whiteout was something I adored- Whiteout was one of my favorite characters, since neurodivergent characters are just so rare in Wings of Fire. She was nicely written and the detail about her scavenger doll was just adorable! Darkstalker's devotion to Foeslayer was also sweet- there is a SERIOUS lack of positive parent-child relationships in Wings of Fire. I liked how Indigo could see through Darkstalker from the start- it showed how Albatross made her far more vigilant. I never saw her plot twist coming! And, speaking of Albatross, he was a sinister character who, despite his early death, managed to be insanely well-written. The writing style of the book also seemed a lot more mature and serious than the main series, a change I personally enjoyed. If you're looking for a novel with dragons, morally gray main characters, and magic, Legends: Darkstalker should be your go-to (although I would recommend reading the main series, first!)
The Adventures of Captain Underpants (Captain Underpants #1)
By Dav Pilkey
There's these two kids named George and Harold. They're best friends and they like to play pranks on people. They also write and sell this comic book called Captain Underpants. One day, they play a huge prank and get caught by their school principal who hates them. The principal blackmails them and they have to do whatever he says. So they buy this hypnotizing ring. Then they hypnotize him, so he'll do whatever they say. They accidently hypnotize him into thing he's Captain Underpants, so then they go off to find him. That's as far as a I got. What I though of it: This book was so unbelievable boring and poorly written, I couldn't stand it. I didn't even make it half-way through the book. I was physically incapable of continuing. The characters were extremely flat. They had no personalities what so ever. I'm guessing I was supposed to like George and Harold, though I really wasn't given a reason to. I'm guessing I was supposed to dislike the principal. I really didn't dislike him anymore than George and Harold. They said he was mean and he didn't like smile and laughter, but that was about the only reason I could think of to dislike him. He did punish George and Harold, but that's not a reason to dislike him. They deserved it. He didn't use the proper method, but still... The illustrations were extremely creepy. If this book was supposed to be funny, it failed miserably. There was nothing even remotely funny about it. Overall, this I couldn't bring myself to finish this book, but what I did manage to read was horrendous.

Stalking Jack the Ripper
By Kerri Maniscalco
Amazing book! I wouldn't call it a horror novel (as said in the description^)... it just has elements of Gothic fiction in it since it takes place in the late 1800s and follows real, actual events that happened in history. For context, Jack the Ripper (also known as the Leather Apron and the Whitechapel Murderer) was an unidentified murderer (he was never caught) known for killing women in London in 1888. The book is mainly a mystery where Audrey Rose Wadsworth, who studies forensics under her uncle, and her uncle's (very) clever student, Thomas Cresswell, are present during the time the murders start and have to use their knowledge and clues from the murders that keep happening to find out who Jack the Ripper is. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and the 3 other books in the series, so if you enjoy this one, I highly recommend finishing the others, which are also based on historical murders. I'm not a huge mystery person, but this series grabbed my attention with its many plot twists and anticipation of finding out the murderer at the end of each book. It's pretty difficult to guess the murderer correctly because the author is so clever at making her readers never even suspect the actual culprit! Happy reading!
