The Secret of the Old Clock By: Elona

I read The Secret of The Old Clock by Carolyn Keene. I really liked the book because it was my favorite type of genre which is mystery. But, this book was kind of weird though because in every chapter it had a different problem, which made it kind of hard to understand what happened to the latest problem. My main character, Nancy, was a really nice and important part of the book. Because whatever problem that they had she was a detective, she solved every single problem even though she was not old enough. However, whatever she did she never told her family she just did it. In the end she got what she really did deserve. In my opinion I rated this book 4 stars, because yes I liked it, but it wasn’t that awesome because sometimes it confused me. It talked about stuff that never been talked about before or even after in the book. I think that people should read this book, but before you do be aware of misunderstandings  that will happened during the book, otherwise it is good! Enjoy reading it.

Note From Mrs. K. This was one of my all time favorite books growing up! I did have a special spot in my bedroom as a kid for all my Nancy Drew books. Eventually I expanded that super special shelf to include my Sweet Valley Highs and then of course everything that Judy Blume ever published. I'm so happy to see a classic make the list!

Smile By: Aubree

Over the summer, I read the book Smile by: Raina Telgemeier. I have not read a graphic novel in a while, so I was still really nervous to read to because I was not sure if I would like the book. I have got to admit, I loved Smile. It is about Raina’s life in middle and high school. Smile is based on true events. Smile is such an amazing book. I didn't want to put the book down. If you like any books by Raina Telgemeier, graphic novels, or books based on true events, then you will love this book. Raina also wrote the graphic novels, that are also based on true events, called Drama and Sister. They are amazing. Sister is based on true events and Drama is not based on true events. I can't wait to read Sisters and Drama. They are out now. So, try reading this book.  You will love this book.  One last thing, always remember to smile.

May B. By: Javier

The book that I am reading is May B. By Caroline Starr Rose. I started to read  this book because my teacher recommended me to read the book. The setting takes place at May B's  house and at Mr. and Mrs. Oblinger’s house. May is the main character she is brave and a kind girl because she helps out the Oblingers. The genre of the book is realistic fiction. Some other books that are similar to this one are Wonder, The One and Only Ivan and Liar and Spies. This is why you should read May B. by Caroline Starr Rose because it is a great book to read.

Knucklehead by:Addison

I was reading over the week and I was reading a book called Knucklehead it's a hilarious book. I choose this book because some of my friends recommended it to me and insured me I would like it. This book is for people who just love funny books. The author is Jon Scieszka he is really a great author. The setting is in Flint Michigan in Jon’s hometown. Jon’s not the only child he also has 5 other brothers and not one girl! This book is a autobiography he talks about his wackiest stories of his childhood. This book is so funny that you just don’t know what's going to happen next. Hope you enjoyed this little blog.

The Maze Runner Series

Over the past few weeks, I have been flying through my latest favorite book series-The Maze Runner by James Dascher. While I am not the biggest fan of dystopian fiction, I have to admit this series is amazing! I began reading Maze Runner at the insistence of my daughter who assured me I would love it. Not 10 pages in, I simply had to know what would happen to Thomas and his fellow Gladers. This is a book packed with graphic action and so many plot twists and turns a reader just can't guess the end of the book. If you liked Hunger Games or Divergent, you will love reading Maze Runner. If you love watching your favorite stories fill the big screen, movies of this great series are already out!
