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!

    

I Am the Cheese. (Robert Cormier)

This was an amazing book, just very hard to get your head wrapped around it. A boy is riding his bike to visit his father at the hospital. Another boy (or is it the same one?) is being interrogated/getting his memory back. The boy on the bike has a normal life, and it seems the boy in the room knows about the boy on the bike. It turns out the boy on the bike (Adam Farmer) doesn't have a very normal life, and everything is revealed at the end. Something I really liked about this book is that it ends with the same paragraph it starts with. This book was, like I said, really complicated, and even if you read it two or three times, I doubt you'll understand it. I sure didn't! The title might seem a bit strange now, but it makes way more sense at the end.

Ribblestrop (Andy Mulligan)

Ribblestrop, Ribblestrop, precious unto me, this is what I dream about and where I want to be. That is the school song for Ribblestrop towers, a brand new school in a very old house, with not very many students, only one of them a girl, all of the residents a little bit crazy. Throw in a crazy landlord, soccer, robots, donkeys, monks, secret tunnels, a ghost, and a mad scientist, and you have a perfect recipie for disaster. This book was boring to start off, but last night I couldn't sleep I was so excited. My favourite parts were the ones with the orphans. This has a bit of a gristly side to it, so if you have a weak stomach, stay far away. Life is dangerous!

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.

The Goodfellow Chronicles, Book One: The Sacred Seal (J.C. Mills)

This book was AWESOME! It's all about a 10 year old boy who moves to New England so his parent's can open up an art gallery. On his first night he sees a talking mouse, who is actually - ---- --- ----- Jolly Goodfellow --- -- --- ----- ---. Sorry about the -----ing but if I said anything instead of ----,
 it would be an extreme spoiler. Anyways, Mr. Goodfellow helps Sam (the 10 year old) with a lot and tells him an extremely captivating story about his nephew Edgar. There's also something called the Hawthorne scroll and the Sacred Seal involved. The Sacred Seal isn't the animal kind of seal. It's the keeping things closed kind of seal.

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?

Mister Max and the Book Of Kings (Cynthia Voigt)

Great book. I read the first two in the series before this one came out, and found out I needed to wait until fall, and forgot three weeks later. This was in 2013. I spotted it at chapters and thought "I need to read that." I was not disappointed. Max has discovered where his parents are being held captive. The problem is, he doesn't know how to rescue them. I couldn't believe his plan. I highly recommend this book.

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.

Seven: Between Heaven and Earth (Eric Walters)

Awesome book, a 17 year old and his six cousins each get a task from their recently deceased grandfather, adventurer David McLean. This book is the first of Seven, the series. DJ, the 17 year olds, task is to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. I really enjoyed this book, and I am going to see the author next month.

Connect the Stars (Marisa de los Santos and David Teague)

Definitely in my top fifty, which is saying a lot. I loved this book. From two seventh graders perspectives, a boy with a photographic memory and a girl who can tell whenever anyone lies. They both get sent to a wilderness camp as "memory boy" and someone who doesn't trust her fellow human beings, and come out completely different.

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.

The Cookcamp (Gary Paulsen)

Very good. the main character is a five year old boy who is sent to stay with his grandmother, a cook for nine lumberjacks that are building a road, when she sees him see her "making sounds" with uncle Casey, who isn't actually related to any of them. His father is away at war. I really liked this book. It was all from a five year old's point of view, so it's all the things that are important to him. There's a whole chapter about him trying to get a chipmunk to eat out of his hand!

Dogsong (Gary Paulsen)

Amazing book, about an inuit boy who goes out into the arctic tundra with a pack of sled dogs to discover his song. I loved this book. The boy, Russel, doesn't like how people are living, so he goes back to living the old way.

Tracker (Gary Paulsen)

Very good book, about a boy dealing with the fact that his grandfather is dying. He follows a deer, and his life changes forever. This was my second book by Gary Paulsen, and I just got a boatload for my Birthday, so many more to follow.

The Copernicus Legacy: The Forbidden Stone (Tony Abbott)

First book of the Copernicus Legacy. Very good. Four kids and one adult trying to get 12 relics, being chased by the Knights of the Teutonic Order? How could I not like it! Quite confusing, hard to understand, but very good. I will have to read the other books in the series.

Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception (Eoin Colfer)

The third book in the Artemis Fowl series. Opal Koboi is back, and wants revenge. Very good book, maybe my favourite in the Artemis Fowl series. Artemis and Butler have been mind wiped, and remember nothing of their dealings with the fairies, but now the fairies need their help more than ever to stop over and under the world from colliding.
