Reviewed by: Raina Grade: 11This was an awsome book! If you saw the movie and didn't read the book because the movie sucked, READ the book. It is way better than the movie and explains things a lot better (plus the movie had bad actors except for one guy). The book was way better and the third one is about to come out!

Reviewed by: SnicketFan Grade: 7Dear Reader,
Please do not read these books. Books as sad and terrifying as these are best left at the bottom of a well, or the top of Mount Fraught.
If, however, your MUST read these books, please proceed with caution.
With all due respect,
Lemony Snicket

Reviewed by: Raina Grade: 11This book was a fantastic read. It's a fantasy book with all types of mythical creatures and a new twist to how they get along (or don't) and survive in a world ruled by humans. It is the first of the series and has a great cliff hanger at the end that will have you on the edge of your seat until you can get the next one!

Reviewed by: Elena Grade: 6Ha, ha! I love this book, it's so...True! Like the firl, Annemarie or 'Shug''s feelings toward one of the main characters, Mark and how she really likes him but she gets mad that he doesn't seem to feel the same way and is oblivious to her feelings. Then there is her family problems, they are described so deeply. Wow!

Reviewed by: Haley Grade: 7The first book in The Companions quartet.I really liked how it captured my interest and imagination. its almost like another Artemis Fowl! Its really my "type"!

I really liked that the book is written like the main character is talking. If you like greek mythology you should definitely read it. This is actually the fourth book in the series so you should read the rest of the books!
The series is called Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Its about kids who are half-bloods, part god. Percy and his friends Anabeth and Grover ( he's a sytar) go on all sorts of quests and adventures. Its the best book ever!!!!!!!- The Lightning Thief

- Briar's Book

Reviewed by: Hannah Grade: 9This is the fourth book in the Circle of Magic quartet, so I have to start by recommending the whole series to you. In fact, I would recommend reading any book by Tamora Pierce because she is an amazing author of all types of fantasy books.
The Circle of Magic quartet is a series about four kids, Sandry, Tris, Daja, and Briar, who are found to have strange and powerful powers. Sandry has powers with thread, Tris with the weather, Daja with metalworking, and Briar with plants. The four of them all live and learn together in the same house at Winding Circle. They all have their own teachers who teach them about their craft. In the first book, Sandry's Book, in order to save themselves and Winding Circle, they have to fight a terrible earthquake and in order to do that Sandry sews all of their magics together to make them strong. They did beat the earthquake in the first book, but Sandry doing that has linked the four in a way never thought possible. Now the can mind speak to each other over great distances and have a bond and friendship that can never be broken.
The fourth and final one is about a plague that sweeps over their land. Briar is the most involved and together with older dedicates at Winding Circle they have to find a cure. It's a great book and I would recommend this series to any one.
