Alien Superstar (Book 2)
By Lin Oliver, Henry Winkler
Buddy C. Burger is back, and more famous than he thought he ever would be. He's starring in a sitcom as his true self, an alien; though no one but Cassidy and Luis, his two best friends, knows. But as Buddy continues his acting career, things start to go wrong. A nosy photographer is trying to get close to Buddy, someone tries to yank at his sensory enhancer at a Nike store, and Martha starts to act differently. It's then that Buddy realizes that he and his friends might not be the only ones who know his true identity, and that the others who do might not be as they seem... And if that's not bad enough, Buddy starts to feel his friendship with Cassidy starting to fade, and soon he's kicked out of her house. Things with Luis aren't going so well either when Buddy is forced to leave him behind at a convention. Without his friends, his body starts to become weaker. He is not getting the nutrients he needs, and when he needs it the most, will it be there? Will Buddy find a way to get back his friendships with his best friends, or will he have to leave to his home planet because of something he should have noticed a while ago with the people who hate him? And what if the people aren't really people? What if they came to take Buddy home? I really liked this book, and I thank DOGO for letting me own this book from a giveaway! I hope you guys have read this review and decide to read this book, because I'm sure you won't regret it!

Why is that? It's fun to read about magic. If you read it, it doesn't mean that the stuuuuf in the book is real. Basically my entire reading selection is fantasy and magical stuff
When the Sea Turned to Silver
By Grace Lin
“When the Sea Turned to Silver” is an amazing book that takes us into a story with Pinmei, her grandmother called the Storyteller, and a young boy called Yishan. Pinmei is a silent girl that can’t really talk in front of strangers, and only shows her personality to her grandmother (whom she called Amah). But one day, the Emperor takes Pinmei’s Amah away! Pinmei is confused and devastated. After Yishan saves her from her burning hut, the two embark on a perilous journey to save Amah and in search of the Luminous Stone That Lights The Night. They meet a beautiful woman named Lady Meng, ride a LongMa (a dragon horse), meet the Sea King, and find out so much stuff about old stories in China. And if you want to know the end of the story, Pinmei was reunited with her Amah, and Yishan actually was the Old Man of the Moon! Anyways, Grace Lin is an amazing author and I have to give this book 4 stars. Thanks for reading. - reapu
Aru Shah and the End of Time
By Roshani Chokshi
I just finished this book last night, and it was so good! It has all the charm of the first Aru Shah book, but with lots of new and fun characters. You definitely will need the glossary in the back to keep track of all the new gods, demons, and other players in the story!
Breadcrumbs
By Anne Ursu
Warning! This review contains spoilers! Hazel and Jack are best friends. But Jack starts acting weird, and ditches Hazel. Hazel is absolutely devastated. Then Jack goes missing, and Hazel sets out to find him. What I thought of it: I didn't get it. Hazel was just annoying. She was always complaining. She completely overreacted when Jack started being "mean" to her. She was really dependent on Jack, and I found that slightly creepy. I couldn't bring myself to really like her even a little bit. Hazel's mom was annoying too. She tried to shove Hazel into a friendship with some girl, and Hazel just went along with it. She didn't really seem concerned at all when Hazel was complaining about Jack's weird behavior. She basically just saw it as a chance for Hazel to just forget about him and make friends that are girls. The writing style was awful. It was very descriptive, and that got really old really fast. The author used a lot of metaphors that didn't really make sense. It was extremely annoying. The only 2 characters that I actually liked were Jack and that girls uncle. Jack seemed like a really cool guy. Hazel really didn't deserve him. The uncle was really awesome. I didn't understand how Jack's parents thought that he was visiting his aunt. Were they under a spell? It was extremely boring. The first part seemed like Realistic fiction, but the second part seemed like Fantasy. That really annoyed me. Hazel's trip through the woods was boring, and it seems like it would never end. She meets a lot of people, and none of them turn out to be how she thought they'd be. The moral of the story seemed to be that you can't REALLY be friends with someone of the opposite gender without complications, and that it's better to stick with friends that are the same gender because if you have a friend of the opposite gender it's inevitable that you'll drift apart. I thought that was down right stupid. I could barely finish reading this, and I thought about stopping and never finishing it because I didn't really care how it ended. I had high hopes for this book. I read a lot of reviews praising it for how wonderful it was. I honestly don't know why everyone loves this book, and thinks it's so beautiful. Overall I hated it. This one of the worst books I've read in a while. Which is why I had to review. I need to save people. There was one girl who I told how much I hated it and she said she wouldn't read it. Everyone who didn't like this book, review. We could be the superheroes of literature.

Theodore Boone: the Fugitive
By John Grisham
anthua
Theodore Boone: The Fugitive is the 5th (and possibly the last) book in the amazing Theodore Boone series by John Grisham. It stars a boy named Theodore Boone, who is 13. Both his parents are lawyers, and this makes Theodore want to be one too. (Spoiler Alert if you haven’t read the first book) This book is mostly about Theodore tracking down the major antagonist of the first book (and debatably the whole series) and then proving him wrong in a court of law. I feel like this book is written well and is a page-turner, although not as much as the other books. I say this because this book does have its dull moments. In particular the end of this, which I’m not going to spoil, isn’t really that interesting, nor is it that climatic. In my opinion, this is something that the other books were good at, and I hope the next book (if there is another one) will improve in this aspect. Other than that, I feel that Theodore Boone: The Fugitive is a pretty good book, full of excitement and interesting facts on lawyers. This book gets a 4 out of 5 stars from me.
