This is my fav author

This book is phenomenal! I could not stop reading! You should read this book if you like logic, mystery, and close-calls. In my opinion, I think The Journal of Curious Letters is way better than the first book in Harry Potter. You can totally understand the plot, and the book makes sense.

This is the third book in the FunJungle series by Stuart Gibbs. In this book, Teddy is told not to investigate a crime, but of course, he does anyway. This time, FunJungle's veterinarian and their new panda were kidnapped. Supposedly, from a moving truck that was bringing the panda to FunJungle. Since the panda was being rented from China and it wasn't actually their property, they had to get the FBI involved. Large Marge turns around and decides to be nice to Teddy, because she wants to show up her sister Molly who is in charge of the FBI investigation. Like in every other Stuart Gibbs book, the main character, who is a kid, turns out to be smarter than every other adult in the story whose job it actually is to solve the case. I think this plot gets pretty old when it is repeated over and over, just in different scenarios. Overall, it was not my favorite book, but still a fun read.

Like most collections of middle grade scary stories, “Only If You Dare” is a mixture of truly creepy, not so creepy, and a few somewhat predictable. Josh Allen’s book does not resort to the traditional horror tropes, not a single vampire or witch, and based on the one completed illustration and a bunch of WIP drawings by Sarah J. Coleman, the art is going to be terrific. Appropriate for middle grade readers, but may be deemed too “tame” by those in junior high or high school. I really love a scary story and Josh Allen shows mastery with this collection of short middle grade horror fiction. It reads like episodes of Are You Afraid of the Dark and as a 90s kid. I devoured all 13 stories and I hope there's another one from this author soon.

I expected this to be a kid friendly, off-kilter, but fairly predictable school daze comedy with a Vam-Wolf-Zom angle. Fair enough. I did not, however, expect the witty, deadpan, and clever bits, set pieces, and throwaway lines that really set this book, (the third in the series), apart from more pedestrian stuff. Our hero, Tom, is understandably befuddled by his triple-threat predicament. Rather than melting down, though, he handles his situation, and all of the complications that arise from it, with remarkable sang froid. As a consequence, the book is funny, upbeat, occasionally a bit edgy, and very smart. Tom keeps up a running commentary on all of the action, and his perceptive off the cuff observations, (on anything and everything), elevate the whole project. You could drop the entire plot and fashion this into a decent stand up comedy routine. All of this is aided immeasurably by a funny, manic wingman pal, a handful of smart and no nonsense girl friends, a misunderstood bully, a deadpan/mean/nice big sister, and about a dozen various adults who actually get some funny and wise lines of their own. So, the plot may be silly, but the execution is top notch. A fun find.

I love Splatoon books even if I'm new to the game. Well, I really can't wait to read this humorously written, yet touching series more, and dive into the complexities of both Goggles and the other characters' lives. I really do recommend this series because it is full of passion and poignancy, despite the fact it is in fact manga!! I MUST read all twelve stories!The book series is all tied together, so they all end and start into each other. Introduces a new character, Eight, an Octoling that has lost all memories of past life. Now, he, Goggles, Specs, Rider, Bobble Hat, and Headphones need to find the four 'thangs' that put together will lead them back to home...supposedly. Throughout the story, friendship, persistence, hardworking, and never giving up are essential bits and pieces that make up Eight and his friends personalities. And, finally, Eight goes to the land of the Inklings, where he can now play turf war!! My favorite book in the series! Now in my opinion I believe that some characters like Eight, Emperor, and Emperor's team truly did add on to the series positively. Eight is an individual and is different and proud of it, and a character mentioned extensively. Emperor and his team are mentioned extensively as well and are originally enemies in the Square King Cup but turn to be allies.This really, truly, honestly deserves five stars because of every character, except, personally Vintage did not really add on much to the series, though he was important. The S4 are the basis of all important characters, so, of course they are very important.

Seeds and Trees has a symbolic theme, when I say this I mean that the trees are a symbol for kindness and mean things people say or do. All though some younger kids may not get the message that Seeds and Trees is trying to tell you I fell like this book is enjoyable for kids of all ages even if they don't know the theme, because they might be thinking about how cool the prince is or the trees. But this book is great for 4th and up. It shows how kindness is always the way to go, because you get a good tree when you're kind and a bad tree when you're negative. Over all I totally recommend Seeds and Trees.
