Mini Mysteries 2

This book is from American Girl, but it has nothing to do with the dolls. There are short stories, and at the end it asks a question about the story based on clues given in the story. I think this is a fun book to read if you don't want a long book. (Reading Mini Mysteries 1 isn't necessary.

Dolphin Diaries- Into the BlueInto the Blue was about a girl who went on a boat to see dolphins. I thought this book was really easy, and not that exciting. I think kids in 4th-5th grade would enjoy it more.

Sixth Grade Secrets
I thought Sixth Grade Secrets was a really funny book, about friends that start a club called Pig City. I thought a funny part was what they make people do to get into the club. This is a good book for kids in 5th-6th grade.

In or Out was about two best friends going to high school and how their friendship changed. I liked that it had a really suprising ending which makes me want to read the sequel. It's a good book choice for girls in middle school.

Martian can never stop keep his mouth shut and always gets in trouble with his teachers because always manages to insult them. So, Martian is sent to this school and makes new friends very quickly. But he discovers something weird about them, they all have a secret powers. He then trains them to control their powers. I won't tell you any more but the story gets better.
True Talents is as I said, the sequel. In True Talents, the spotlight is now on Trash. Trash's powers are discovered and he is kidnapped for testing. Trash escapes later but needs help badly from his friends. Meanwhile the people who kidnapped him are now after him. The both books has lots of twists and turns so I recommend these two books to anyone who likes funny, surprising, suspenseful, adventurous books!

I totally recommend Avenger for those who behooves suspense books. If you enjoyed the Alex Rider series, you'll loves this series.
The first book is called Traitor. It's about a orphan teenage boy who wants to join the military but can't because his grandfather is a traitor because he betrayed Britain. So, when this kid finds out that his grandfather escaped from jail, he sets out to find him. And the adventure goes on form there. But what he doesn't know, is that a team of government professional killers are on the search too.
Avenger is the 3rd book of the series that deals with bombings and it's totally awesome! I totally recommend this series to any suspense lovers!

I read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K Rowling. It is very very good and i think it is way better than the movie. It's about 3 friends named Harry Ron and Hermione. They are magical people (witches and wizards) and attend a magic school called Hogwarts. They find out about the sorcerer's stone which voldemort,a very powerful and dark wizard, is trying to find. Harry Ron and Hermione go on lots adventures to stop voldemort from finding the stone. It is very hilarious in some places and i recommend it to everyone.

Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn
This is a GREAT GREAT book, i love it. The entire series is good but this is the perfect way to end it. If you haven't already started reading the twilight saga you should, i highly recommend the saga, and the last book.

The Mediator: Haunted
My FAVORITE book in the series it has a good climax and keeps you interested the whole time your reading. I like how human and easy to relate suze, the main character, is.

I like this book, it is one of my favorites in the series. I like how we get to meet more mediators than just suze and father dom. I highly recommend this series.
