BOOK NAME: The Mysterious Benedict Society
AUTHOR: Trenton Lee Stewart

In this book, four kids about 12 years old and one extremely smart 2 -year-old go on an amazing adventure. But what they all don't know is they all came from the same types of family which makes them come together even more. After taking maybe the most life-changing test EVER, they meet the writer of it all, Mr. Benedict.

Mr. Benedict sends Kate Weatherall, Reynie Muldoon, Sticky (George) Washington, and Constance Contraire to his twin brother's school for the gifted where they stop future drama and meet new friends on the way. While their summer isn't going quite how they planned,
Kate and her dad Milligan save their friends Reynie and Sticky from the whisperer while Constance uses her well-known way of rejecting things to try and shut down the whisperer. I was up reading for hours every night hope you enjoy this book as much as I did

BOOK NAME: Eleven
AUTHOR: Lauren Myracle

Winnie is turning eleven and realizes that things are changing in the world and in herself. First of all, her best friend Amanda is dumping Winnie for another girl who is just a snob. Then, her older sister is moody all the time. Next a dork in the class wants to hang out all the time with Winnie and that does not help Winnie's coolness factor. Lastly all of the girls in her class have a boyfriend except for her. Winnie will find a way to make things better but that might mean giving up something.

I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My friends had been telling me that it was such a good read and I needed to buy it. It has many sequels which I will surely get and blog on. It is very interesting because there's love, competition, friendship and fighting. It's neat because the story is told in each month of the year so that means that there are twelve chapters. It never EVER got boring and it was a learning adventure.

I would definitely not miss reading this book especially if your are a girl who likes some fun fiction. Post a comment if you have ever been dumped by a friend like Winnie.

Hi, it's Reed again and I'm reviewing the sequel to The Fire Within. Hope you enjoy.   

David might be going to the Arctic to research polar bears. You have to pay $700 to go to the Arctic, but if you have the best report in your college class, you go for free. David does his report on dragons. A girl named Zanaa, who's in his class, is going to bring David a book on dragons. Lucy thinks he loves her.

David has a meeting with a publisher for Snigger and the Nut Beast (remember that from my review of the first book?), and he got an offer for $1,000. He says yes.

Liz's aunt comes to visit so David has to stay at the neighbors', Mr. Bacon. Liz has a snowball that keeps all of her dragons alive and David wants to know more about it. There is a dragon egg that the Aunt wants Liz to hatch. The Aunt has a dragon named Gretel. David is suspicious of how the Aunt behaves.

Zanaa wins the contest at school! She's going to the Arctic for free! Gadzooks writes the word Loral for David. Loral is a bear and Gadzooks is trying to tell David that Loral is important!  You have to read the book to find out the end. I will see you next time! Bye!
