Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Sea of Monsters. (Rick Riordan)

Life is going pretty well for Percy Jackson, considering the fact that he's a son of Poseidon, god of the sea, who is constantly being attacked by monsters. He's doing alright at school, despite the fact that he's ADHD and dyslexic, and he even has a friend named Tyson. It's the last day of school, and he's quite excited to go to camp half-blood, the only safe place for demigods. But, as luck would have it, he and Tyson are attacked by some really bad monsters, and Percy's mom doesn't think percy should go to camp half blood. Percy, Tyson, and Annabeth go there anyways, only to find tat the protective barrier is failing and the camp is constantly under attack. Also, Percy's best friend Grover is missing. The three friends depart on a quest to find the only item that can save camp half-blood,  which both Percy and Tyson are related to, and to save Grover. Meanwhile, Kronos is rising, along with an army of monsters and demigods. This is a great second book in the series, and you'll be meeting monsters and Gods left and right. This is most likely my favourite book in the series.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians Book One: The Lightning Thief. (Rick Riordan)

THIS BOOK WAS SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, I've calmed down. Twelve year old Percy Jackson has been kicked out of his sixth boarding school in six years. He's going to miss the latin teacher and his friend grover during summer holidays.
He never knew his real father, and his mom says he was lost at sea. Not dead, just lost. His stepfather Gabriel (AKA stinky Gabe) is a jerk to him, which is normal, and him and his mother go to the beach, which is also normal. What is not normal is that he killed his pre algebra teacher earlier in the year, and now everyone is acting like she never existed. The other not normal thing is the freak storm that comes in the middle of the night, and the fact that grover is there, but he isn't wearing pants. Where his feet should be are two cloven hooves, and his legs are covered in fur. Turns out Grover is a Satyr, and Percy's world turns upside down. His latin teacher is a centaur, the counsellor at his new camp is the god of wine, and the greek gods are real. This is an amazing book, the first in a series, and the books get better as the series progresses. I liked this book so much that I bought it!

Peter Pan (J.M. Barrie)

You know the story,but the original is much more complicated than the movie. For example, did you know that captain Jas. Hook has blue eyes except when he is about to kill someone? Or that whenever  a child says "I don't believe in fairies" a fairy drops dead? This book was very good. It was a bit hard to read, because it was all in old fashioned English. I really liked that the Neverland is in all our heads, but slightly different in everyone else's head.

Hook's Revenge (Heidi Shulz)

This was a really good book. It's all about Captain James Hook the dread pirate's daughter, who lives with her grandfather on her mother's side, going to a finishing school but ending up in the neverland getting revenge for her father, who was killed/eaten by the dreaded neverland crocodile. Oh, there's also that annoying flying boy and his mean little fairy. Why does he keep making that annoying "Cock-a-doodle-doo" noise?

28 Tips for a Fearless Grade Six (Catherine Austen)

Amazing book! I probably like it so much because I'm in grade six. Dave Davidson helps a friend overcome their fear of dancing, and then everyone is asking for help with their fears. Or threatening for help, in one case. It's really funny, and it's just a few sixth graders living their lives. Strangely.

Fake Mustache (Tom Angleberger)

Short, silly book. Sixth grader's best friend buys a fake Mustache and starts robbing banks and............. I'll just let you read the book. Oh, it has a, according to the short, slightly nerdy sixth grader, "cute" teenage cowgirl rodeo star, if that changes things. The subtitle is "Or, How Jodie O'Rodeo and Her Wonder Horse (and Some Nerdy Kid) Saved the U.S. Presidential Election From a Mad Genius Criminal Mastermind." Which pretty much sums up the whole book. Except that the "Mad Genius Criminal Mastermind" is that nerdy kid's best friend.

Frindle (Andrew Clements)

Amazing book! A grade 5 boy renames a pen a "Frindle" and watches it evolve until...... I won't say because that would ruin the whole story. Very good book for younger readers.

My Near Death Adventures: I Almost Died Again (Alison DeCamp)

Hilarious book! A boy who thinks out loud with a evil (according to him) cousin, an evil (I agree with him on this one) granny, who puts funny pictures in a scrapbook on a daily basis, trying to get rich quick. The second book in a series, it is just as good as the first one.

The Copernicus Archives: Wade and the Scorpions Claw,The Copernicus Legacy: The Serpent's Curse,The Copernicus Archives:Becca And the Prisoners Cross (Tony Abbott)

Very similar to the first book, still good. The time travel blackouts are quite interesting, and I'm not sure what's going to end up happening with them.

Boy (Roald Dahl)

Awsome book! All about Dahls childhood, and lots of him being hit by a cane. It's really fun finding out about the inspiration for his books. Like the mouse incident at the candy store that inspired "Witches" and him testing chocolates for a chocolate factory that inspired "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory".

The Screech Owls: Death Down Under(Roy MacGregor)

Good Book, Great series. A bit grisly, but also hilarious! Nish is the WORST! Nish is also the BEST! About a peewee hockey team from Canada going to Australia and playing against "The Wizard Of Oz".

The adventures of Max and Liz: The Dreamer, the Schemer, and the Robe. (Jenny L. Cote)

Really good book. great version of the bible story "Joseph and his coat of many colours".
Book two of the Adventures of Max and Liz series. I will have to read the other books. Slightly strange, (immortal pets?,) but very well written, and true to the original joseph and his coat of many colours story. (by the way, if you study the cover carefully, you can see an egyptian jackal god on it.)
