This novel was not only intriguing; with a nice blend of science and fantasy, The Sailor Cipher would interest most of those looking for a technologically-based story with a hint of suspense. When Sailor York returns for her second year of studies at the prestigious school, she expects a year-long adventure filled with excitement and wonder - certainly not a missing big sister. As she uncovers more about the details concerning her sibling's possible kidnapping, Sailor finds herself caught in the middle of a dangerous game filled with rival factions. And her external struggles are only compounded by her own story: Sailor has a secret that she does not want to release, yet may have to in order to succeed in her missions. As a person who is always taken aback by the sheer progression of technology in the modern world, I enjoyed reading about the various new inventions and vehicles this book displayed. As being heavily based upon the work of actual National Geographic Society members, this series debut expertly pays homage to the organization's projects. The chapters are also well-organized, with each subplot complementing the others in their advancement. While the humor seems a little forced at times, this novel overall is a read you do not want to miss. I am definitely excited for the release of the next book in the series!

I read this book because I'm interested in national geographic and well,I wanna b in the club,this is the obviously the only other thing I could do so,ya ✌peace

It looks very interesting And i wish i could buy it OR have it for free (thats a hint)

Lo and behold. Warriors. The book series with lots of characters and 60 or so books. The first book, released 20 years ago, in 2003, tells us about a life form, Rusty, who escapes from the confines of his humans' nest and charges into the forest, never to be seen by the Twolegs again. Which is what those strange cats in the forest, warriors, call members of the Homo Sapiens species. So Rusty, who is only 6 moons old, begins to train as a warrior apprentice, who will catch a lot of tasty prey and fight enemy cats who live in other little tiny cat groups called clans. And he is now called FIREPAW after his brown coat. Then Firepaw meets an old cat who is very chubby; it is Yellowfang, whose teeth are not very well cared for. Oooh. But ShadowClan, a very scary clan, especially with a menacing leader called Brokenstar is demanding to hunt on ThunderClan territory because of FOOD. Unbeknownst to Firepaw, however, there is a prophecy from StarClan, where spirits of dead warriors live, that tells of fire saving the clan. Could he be the key to saving ThunderClan? So I liked this book a lot. I felt like it had better descriptions and more actions than the later mini-arcs. Very exciting and fun to read. Ok writing but not too good.

THIS IS SOOO GOOD. If you like man vs wild on tv, this is highly recommended its like a guy who survives in the wild!

Space Case is the first out of three books in the Moon Base Alpha series. Stuart Gibbs has impressed everyone will the plot and humorous ideas in this incredible book. Dashiell Gibson, a 12 year old boy, is just getting used to life on the moon station when something strange happens: When Dashiell heads into the bathroom (The food on the station isn't great), he notices Dr. Holtz talking to what seems to be himself. Could he be hallucinating? Dash doesn't know, so when Holtz turns up dead a few hours later, Dash knows it wasn't an accident. Someone has killed Holtz, someone who knows the big news that Holtz was going to say to everyone that morning. Now it's up to Dash to find out what exactly caused Holtz to die, and who killed him. Because if their was a killer on the base, then everyone he cared about, and more, would be in danger. Only problem is, the base was small, and everyone could be a suspect. Will Dash be able to solve the mystery, or will someone else be murdered? I really loved this fast paced book. With all the hidden clues, this book is worth the read!

Once they enter, they eventually find out that this is no ordinary visit. In fact, this is a game to exit the library. This is a change of plans, and Kyle is determined to win. The winner will be famous and also recieve lots of money. Many contestants decide to team up, while some use others. There are many ways to become disqualified. Sometimes players get penalties for incorrectly solving a puzzle. THis book was amazing! Chris Grabenstein really knows how to keep you hooked to the plot and on the edge of the seat. Your heart is beating because you don’t know how the challenge will end. Will the character solve the puzzle, or get disqualified? The author also lets you know what every player is doing. They may have a piece of the puzzle that someone else needs. While reading this book, I was wondering why I did not pick this book up earlier. The puzzles and clues are complex, but not impossible. I enjoyed playing along. I cannot wait to read the sequel. THis is definitely a 5 star book. A great for grades 3 or 4 and above.
