Kids Books - Adventure Books

This book series is definitely better than the first one, although On The Run was amazingly written and I suggest that you read On The Run preferably BEFORE you read the Kidnapped series, because you won't understand Kidnapped if you haven't read On The Run. This book is better because there is less drama than On the Run. On the Run really pulls you into the story and makes you understand the urgency of the situation, and I am happy to say that Gordon Korman has not lost his touch for writing these kind of stories. I really enjoyed this book, and I am about to read the 3rd one at this very moment.

The Anne of Green Gables series continues with even more friends, acquaintances, and silly events. A wonderful read for all.

' "Okay - answer me this: why would anyone want to wear an overcoat in San Francisco in the middle of summer?" Sophie Newman pressed her fingers against the Bluetooth earpiece as she spoke. On the other side of the continent, her fashion - conscious friend Elle inquired matter - of - factly, "What sort of coat?" Wiping her hands on the cloth tucked into her apron strings, Sophie moved out from behind the counter of the empty coffee shop and stepped up to the window, watching men emerge from the car across the street. "Heavy black wool overcoats. They're even wearing black gloves and hats. And sunglasses." She pressed her face against the glass. "Even for this city, that's just a little too weird." ' (Quoted from book) 'The Alchemyst' by Michael Scott is for those who love constant action and suspense. The book is mainly a fantasy, but there are historical figures, such as Nicholas and Perenelle Flamel, weaved into the story. In fact, Nicholas Flamel's name on the cover (The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel) is what drew me to select this book. I've read a few books in which he was mentioned, and soon came to realize that Flamel was not a character in a singular story, but a real person, and I selected the book to find out what personality this author gave him. In the book he is deceptive, and yes, immortal. His deceptiveness is most prominent at the beginning of the story, where he and his wife are disguised as Nick and Perry Fleming. They own a local bookstore at which Josh Newman is employed. Josh's twin sister, Sophie, works across the street at a coffee shop. When Perry visits Sophie at the coffee shop, there is a disturbance in the bookstore, and they both hurry over to see what's wrong. When they enter, they are met with havoc. Dr. John Dee, an ally of the Dark Elders, seeks Flamel's secret to immortality: The Codex. Josh and Sophie realize that the Flemings are not who they say they are while Flamel and Dee are speaking to one another, Dee using magic to pull the book from where it was hidden. Josh seizes the book in a moment of confusion, but then Dee takes the book and Perenelle and leaves. What he doesn't realize, though, is that when he snagged the book from Josh's grasp, two very important pages were ripped from the book, and he is left with only part of what he wants. Nicholas, Sophie and Josh are being hunted, and they don't know who to trust. Flamel has helped them so far, but what exactly are his motives? An exciting part in the story was when Nicholas, Sophie, and Scathatch are struggling to fend off the skeletal army Dee has awakened. Josh is seperated from them, and the fog makes it impossible for them to find each other. It is very suspenseful. My favorite passage, though, was as follows: ' "The girl has one of the purest silver auras I've encountered in many an age. She needs to be taught some spells of personal protection if she is to survive the rest of the Awakening process. The fact that she's still sane and whole these many hours later is testament to her strength of will." ' I liked this passage because it shows just how mentally strong Sophie is, and portrays her as a tough character. I can understand what Josh feels like when Sophie gains her powers. He feels alone, abandoned. I can relate to this because whenever my sisters spend the night at a friend's house, it feels wrong in the house. It just doesn't feel right, and I can imagine how Josh feels through this connection. I highly recommend 'The Alchemyst' by Michael Scott to those who enjoy reading stories filled with action and high suspense. I also recommend this book to people who love history and fantasy, as this book tweaks the personalities of real people and spins them into tales of fantasy.

i love reading naruto it made me want to do lik,e jutsu stuff so bad it would be awe some if i could do it

I love FMA!!❤! I watched the anime twice, both versions!! But I always go places with my family and I don't have time to watch it again, so for my birthday I'm going to get the manga series. I'll be able to read it anywhere I go!

This book is about a young girl named Carmen. There was a molasses/syrup company and they need space for all the molasses, and build a giant tank for it. One day the people that live by the tank start hear noises. So they report it to the company many times, but they ignore it. Soon the tank explodes sending 24 foot waves of molasses every where destroying every think in it's path. Carmen gets sucked under a giant wave and finally feels safe, but another wave comes. This is a great book because i teaches you about The Great Molasses Flood of 1919, but also is an exciting book.
