Amy and Dan have a lot of leads for the next clues but unfortunately they don't know what they mean or what to do with it. AND Nellie, their au pair has been acting really strange. It usually takes people months to get a ticket to Tibet but she  made one phone call and got it immediately. What's more, on her account there's been suspicious emails asking for a report on them. When they confront her, she is forced to admit it-she has been reporting their every action to Mr. Mcintyre, their lawyer. And the man in black-they don't know much about him but they do know he is a MADRIGAL, like them. Can they trust Nellie or will they turn out to be wrong...again.
Score: 10
I really liked this book as I liked everything about it-all the action and I liked how surprised I was at every page. I'm still like-every time I read one of these, I seem to assume that of course the dying character won't die but then they do and I'm like "wait what?" I think that is my favourite out of the whole series. But why the ship on the cover and the title when they didn't really go on a ship? Well I guess there was a hurricane but...still.

Amy and Dan aren't doing too bad on the clue hunt. They have decided to make two alliances-with their cousins Ian and Natalie Kabra, and with their uncle Alistair Oh. Well, they are forced to after a meet up at the airport, where their au pair Nellie is stuck with them. But Amy feels more than friendship from Ian, and suprisingly, he feels the same way. The clue hunt takes them to Japan, Tokyo, where they have a few unfortunate run ins including ninjas, train tracks, and a famous Japanese conqueror's  riddles. But as the alliance grows stronger and stronger, Alistair has a feeling the Kabras are dishonest about the bonding. Lucians, after all, love to do things on their own, and are known as liars. Excellent ones. But Amy and Dan are oblivious, and they all are stuck in a cave together after coming to Korea...will the Kabras have genuine intentions after all, or have the others been played?
Score: 10! Whoa...I really love this book because it's like, thinking oh cool they're going to find the next clue yay it's all working out but then the twist at the end...it leaves me full of outrage and shock for my favorite characters! Unfortunately, I read a book that was ahead in the series, so the guy in the book who turns out to be "dead", him, I know it can't be because I read the other book after that and he was alive.

Annie and Rew live a sort of peaceful life, without parents but with their Granny. They know their mother left them, their father died in a fight with an angry man, and their only family is, well...Granny. Grandpa died...somehow. Granny never told them, and when she did tell them their father died in that fight, she stayed in her room for days and days on end. But one night, when Granny goes to bed early, a rattling at the back scares them. A man bursts in, and holds them hostage. Rew and Annie find out he is their father. And then something dawns on Annie. Their father wasn't killed by an angry man. He was the angry man. After finding out, Rew throws a fit and screams at their granny, saying things so unforgiveable that Granny cries hard, until Annie takes her to her room. Like that, she stays in her room-seemingly forever. Rew and Annie don't know what to do. Rew comes up with a plan: when Andrew-their father-sends Annie out to get groceries, she'll post an emergency letter, and the police will come get Andrew, and they'll be safe. Annie promises, but she can't do it. When Rew asks, though, she lies to him for the first time. But a week has gone by, and Rew is getting impatient. He got out from Annie that she never posted it, after all. He screams like he did that night, but scream however he likes, they don't know what to do now. How will they escape? Or will they lay low as ordered and let it all blow over?
Score: 9 Ok, so I really like this, but it is sad. Too sad.

The Legend of Fables: Rubicund of the scarlet eyes

# data[].attributes.body
By Vilana
I've had this book for a long time, so only when I came back to read it did I realise how good it was. Rubicund, a.k.a. Ruby, a spirited young girl, is stuck in the town of zero happenings, actually known as the Settlements of Foundation. One night she decides to run away and become a Traveler like the Vagrants. And in time, too, for her mother has planned a wedding for Ruby's 14th birthday, which was to occur tomorrow. It's to her friend Brunet, who is a good friend, but not someone she'd ever want to marry. So that night, she run away. Soon, after passing through the Florae of Waterway, she gets to the Domicile of Ordances. Karachi, a boy she meets, who is on the council, agrees to help her train. In the hotel they are staying at in the Unpurged area, Ruby gets laughed at a Warlock who gives her something that allows him to walk and talk to her in her dreams. His name is Kazak. After that, she starts training. In 3 days, she carves a beautiful bow when the most experienced take 3 weeks. Then, she starts training with blades. She had graduated from Fort Arc, so now she is under the care of the two mean coaches on Fort BAEZ, Talwochi and Berechi. However, after she snaps a buffer in half and endures day and night training, their respect for her grows, until she finally completes her blades training. She buys two blades, then sets off to travel. Karachi comes along, although his sister Abacha disapproves. Ruby is going to find Kazak, who has been telling her in her dreams that he is in trouble. But now, they are in the Gild Elf feast, a bloody game that involves people killing each other until one remains, the winner. They try to escape but will they make it?
Score: 10
I really like this book because Ruby is such a determined character and I loved all the action...every part of it, and the style of the author's writing and her speech is always in two parts, like this: "I hear that congratulations" he said, his stormy eyes locking on Rubicund "are in order, Red", and that is why I gave it that score.

101 Children's classics are a collection of what the authors of this book consider classics. In the introduction, they state that they believe classics are  poem that linger long in your mind, that reveal themselves slowly as time passes. If you like poems, don't be offended because I do not understand a single thing. To me, poems are pretty much boring and half the time they don't make sense to me. I only like the descriptive poems because I like the way the author looks at things in a different way. The only reason why I mention this book is because it's the easiest catergory in Book Bingo to do. So, do I like this book? No. Straight up, no.
Score: 2, and it would be zero if it weren't for the descriptive poems. My favourite poem is the Song of wandering Aengus, in which they describe every single beauty of nature in a beautiful, beautiful way, all the way I felt like I could feel everthing around it. It made me think of the things it described in a different way, and I'm still thinking about it like, now.

This story is a work of historical fiction.  Elinor Valjean lives at the court of King Henry VII. Her mother, Eva serves as a lady-in-waiting to Queen Catherine, while her father Michael is Henry's favorite court jester. On her thirteenth birthday, Elinor is appointed a lady-in-waiting to Queen Catherine. The court is thrown into turmoil, when Henry pleads with his wife to "release him". He wishes to marry Anne Boleyn, another lady-in-waiting. Meanwhile, Elinor is ordered to become a lady-in-waiting to Anne, separating her from her family. She soon meets a black smith named Tom, who later joins the court. The following year, she and Tom marry with the King's permission. Henry declares that the Church of England will not answer to the Pope anymore, appointing himself as the supreme head of the church. He subsequently abandons his wife Catherine, moving her to small, damp house. Elinor meanwhile experiences happiness at the birth of first child, Michael. The following winter, Anne shows signs of pregnancy and she quietly marries the King in a private ceremony. Anne gives birth that September to Elizabeth, not the hoped-for boy. Anne goes through several fruitless pregnancies over the following years. The King loses hope for Anne and his eyes wander to Jane Seymour, a lady-in-waiting. At the beginning of 1536, Catherine passes away, leaving only one wife for Henry to be rid of. Thomas Cromwell accuses Anne of committing adultery. She is found guilty of charge and beheaded. Elinor, shortly later, leaves court to live a peaceful life with her family.
I did not like this book at all. It was boring, I didn't understand the diary entries, and it talked about the same things OVER and OVER again.
Score:  2. Because the book was plain boring, I didn't understand much, only the simple plot, and like I said, it said the same things over and over and over again, like-Oh, this so and so thing happened, and the King felt very so and so, Anne Boleyn did so and so...and so on.  The only reason why I didn't give it one is because I liked the cover, well, the design of it

About this: it's about digestion. And a whole lotta facts that are too disgusting to even MENTION inside a classroom, which is probably why most kids this age don't know these things. There's even a few additions about a private eye called M.I.Gutzache, who gets hired to do all these really wacky experiments which usually end up in him going home feeling really, really, sick. But it's good stuff. I never knew three quarters of what's in there. The drawings are really good, and funny, too! I think I may have mentioned this before-unlike most non-fiction books, (which I don't like reading much as they are boring to me), I was entertained. It was really funny and easy to follow. So, yes I liked it a lot, and it was like watching a movie for some reason except it was a book! Which shows how entertaining it was...
Score: 9.5 It would be a ten, except...except...(throw up sounds) can we make the drawings less accurate please...and it wouldn't hurt to just describe it instead of showing us the actual, you know, body part?

The curious incident of the dog in the night-time

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this book for Book Bingo this week because I thought it was very interesting.
Christopher's mum had died two years ago, when he was 13. He is an autistic child who discovered a dead dog on his neighbor's lawn. He decides to find out who killed the dead dog (Wellington), but when he tells his dad, he makes him promise not to. Nevertheless, he continues his search, and writes a book about it. However, when his dad discovers the book, he is furiously angry, and he and Christopher have a fight. A few days later, though, while looking for his book, he finds it, and a letter from his 'dead' mum. He takes it to his room and reads it, and finds it was sent 18 months after his mum died. He goes back a few days later to the shirt box, and finds 43 more, all addressed to him and one of them explaining why she'd left them both. Left them? She hadn't died? His dad finds him and decides to tell him the awful truth. That he had killed Wellington because he was mad at Mrs. Shears, because her husband 'stole' his wife. In shock, Christopher runs away and steals his dad's cash point card. His dad told him the number a few years ago. He goes to London and finds his mother, but an argument springs up between she and Mr. Shears, the man she now stays with, and they are forced to leave to go back to Swindon. They stay with Christopher's dad for a while, until he throws them out and they go to live in a flat. When his mum is at work and he gets home, he has to go to his dad's house. His dad begs him for forgiveness, and in the end, he got a Labrador from his dad as a sorry present. Little by little, they begin to be friendly again. At the end, Christopher takes his a level test and aces it.
I'm not so sure about this book. I was reading it and a few people told me that is was very advanced. So I simply finished it and thought, is that it? Because it was good and all, yes, but I don't think I understand it. (Also, I'm pretty sure I counted more than 10 four letter swear words in there that started with 'f'...) So, maybe I'll just put it away and read it when I get older, maybe then I will understand it?
Score: 9 (because even if I didn't understand it, it was a good book. Mr Owst said it was his favorite, too.)

The misadventure of Max Crumbly, Locker Hero

# data[].attributes.body
By Rachel Renee Russell (author of Dork Diaries)
A story set in another country (USA, Minnesota)
Max Crumbly is not a usual kid (but unfortunately, he doesn't have super powers), but he is unusual in a bad kind of way. As a kid, he had severe asthma attacks ,which were brought on by stress, and had to be homeschooled by his grandmother. For 8 painful years, he drank from sippy cups, ate animal crackers, and got taught by a grandmother who is a retired kindergarten teacher. After a lot, a lot, of begging, Max eventually got permission to go to South Ridge High school. However, the school bully, Doug/THUG Thurston seems to have taken a liking to beating him up. So, he has tried to avoid him as much as possible. However, on that fateful day...He was shoved into his locker-twice-, and just as he thought he could get out by screaming and banging as the janitor passed by... it turned out the janitor was wearing earbuds! So, he couldn't hear Max at all! And then MAX ESCAPED INTO THE AIR VENTS...only to run into a bunch of real thugs- robbers! What will Max do NOW?
I quite liked this book, for all the comics and all the painfully stupid antics of Max, but at times, I felt like- 'what's the joke now?' or 'er....I don't get it'
Score: 7. I mean, yes it was thrilling and at times, face-plantingly stupid (on purpose), but it just wasn't that funny as everyone said it was.

The extraordinary cases of Sherlock Holmes

The extraordinary cases of Sherlock Holmes

# data[].attributes.body
By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (well, this is actually stories put in by Jonathan Stroud, published by Penguin Classics)
This is a little part of the most amazing series of Sherlock Holmes. The stories are, in order,
The Adventure of the Speckled Band,
The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle
The Musgrave Ritual
The Reigate Puzzle
Silver Blaze
The Adventure of the Dancing Men
The Adventure of the Six Napoleons
The Missing Three-Quarter
I have to admit that though the stories were amazing and unpredictable, my very favourite part, whenever I pick up this book, is reading the introduction (by Jonathan Stroud). These are my favourite phrases
"Never read a Sherlock Holmes? Watch out, then. Here's how it goes.
You begin in the detective's rooms at 221B, Baker Street. Holmes and his friend Watson are sitting by the fire. Outside, fog rolls at the window. Logs crackle in the grate. Then-
footsteps on the stairs, a banging on the door. a client rushes in, wide-eyed, disheveled, with a strange and terrible tale to tell...
And that's it. You're hooked. Try as you might, you can't pull free.
What made the tales so good? At first I thought it was the detective stuff.  But as I re-read the tales, I realized it wasn't the detection that thrilled me as much as  the atmosphere around it. The foggy streets, the clients- vulnerable women, desperate men..'
And the only reason why I mention all these phrases is because it covers every single thing and the way I feel about this fabulous series. Jonathan has hit the nail on the head, and I wouldn't be able to say exactly how I feel about but he has got it right.
Score: 10. This absolutely deserves a solid ten. Like Stroud said, the atmosphere, the characters, and the ingenuity of the stories is simply incredible.

Gracie and her friend Daniel have been warned away from the apparently mental Birdman. They believe all the stories that their parents have told them about him, though they suddenly are in doubt when a message in the sand reveals the Birdman isn't as bad as people think! However, they still have no intention of going near him. But when the lake where they sail there toy boats is taken over by a bunch of unfriendly swans, Daniel convinces Gracie to come to the cave where the Birdman lives nearby. Will the bump into the suspectedly cursed Birdman? Or will they return home with pleasant memories?
For me, this book (also a play and a movie) was sometimes hard to follow. But my favourite part was when they met the Birdman -I got so excited for some reason. I was reading  'My Friend Walter', another book by Michael Morpurgo, and I got bored after a while, for some reason for me the story seemed to jump forward a bit too much? In Why The Whales Came, I didn't understand the part with the narwhals, but overall it was kind of touching so I will just give it a...
Score: 5. (For pretty much all the reasons I said above, also I don't feel like this book is my style..).

Jim Hawkins life has turned upside down after he is invited onto a treasure hunt. However, he soon learns the dangers of living with pirates. Oh my, what with mutiny and suspicious characters like Long John Silver,  will young Jim make it out alive?!
Oh my gosh, this has to be one of my all time favourite classics EVER! Although I won't be too keen to become a pirate someday, I love this story about  Jim Hawkins. My favourite character is, surprisingly, Long John Silver!
Score:8 I really liked the excitement and adventure, but I didn't understand why Long John Silver kept switching sides?!

Nere has always had weak lungs and eyes, like her ex best friend, and her best friend's little brother. Her dad is gone, her brother lost. So you can imagine her shock when her mother tells her her dad and brother are still alive. Her dad's just building a colony for oh, all the kids like Nere, Robry and Lena, who are genetically altered to survive in the ocean.  Her lungs were weak because they were made to breathe water, her eyes were adjusted to the darkness of the ocean. As much as all of them hate being a science experiment, they have to swim to safety. Safety Colony, that is. Will they make it there?
I didn't like this science fiction book much because it was quite um, gross, and scary. A lot of them died and it was really sad at some times.
Score: 6 As I said-sad, gross, scary. It really is interesting but it is a bit urghblegh for me.

Yep, Kenny Wright is ready to save the day! Except that he needs Stainlezz Steel with him. But that's fine! Totally! Except that...Stainlezz Steel, Superhero, and Kenny Wright, Normal Kid, are exactly the same person. So, you'd think that'd be fine, really... but here's another catch. Stainlezz Steel is sort of.. well actually a lot of Kenny's imagination. So, with no Steel and no help (except maybe from his crazy grandma, nicknamed G-ma), can Kenny solve his problems?
Well, this book was full of comics and in some way, although he's older, Kenny seems so much like Calvin, from Calvin and Hobbes (my all time favourite comic).
I really liked it because Kenny is such a cool guy. He goes to school, does his thing, thinks his life is so horrible cos', you know, bullies and all, but his life is sooooo interesting!
Score: 10 I gave it a ten because when I started reading it, I couldn't stop. I reckon that has to be a good sign...

A young woman named Sophie Hatter is the eldest of three sisters living in the town of Market Chipping in the magical kingdom of Ingary, where many fairytale are really ways of life, including that the eldest of three will never be successful. Sophie is able to unknowingly talk life into inanimate objects. As the eldest, she is resigned to the "fact" that she will have no chance of finding her fortune, accepting that she will have a dull life running the family hat shop. One day, however, the powerful Witch of the Waste turns her into an old crone. Sophie leaves the shop and finds work as a cleaning lady for the notorious Wizard Howl. She strikes a bargain with Howl's fire-demon, Calcifer: if she can break the contract between Howl and Calcifer, then Calcifer will return her to her original youthful form. Part of the contract, however, stipulates that neither Howl nor Calcifer can tell her anything about it. Sophie tries to guess the specifics of the contract, while Calcifer supplies frequent hints which she usually does not pick up.

Sophie soon learns that Howl, a rather self-absorbed, dishonest but ultimately good-natured person, spreads malicious rumours about himself to ensure his privacy and to avoid work and responsibility. The door to his castle is actually a portal that opens onto four different places: the moving castle in the hills above Market Chipping, the seaside city of Porthaven, the royal capital of Kingsbury and Howl's boyhood home in Wales where he was named Howell Jenkins. Howl's apprentice Michael Fisher runs most of the day-to-day affairs of Howl's business, while Howl chases his ever-changing ladies. Martha, the youngest, was sent to study magic, while the middle sister, Lettie, was apprenticed at a local bakery. Magically disguising herself as Lettie, Martha arranged for the two of them to switch places, as Fanny (Martha's mother and Sophie and Lettie's stepmother) did not take their wishes into account when arranging their apprenticeships.

When Prince Justin (the King's younger brother) goes missing while searching for Wizard Suliman, the King orders Howl to find Suliman and Justin and kill the Witch of the Waste. Howl, however, has his own reasons to avoid seeking a confrontation with the Witch of the Waste; has laid a dark curse on him. Howl continues to avoid her until she lures Sophie into a trap: believing that the Witch has taken Howl's current love interest, Lily Angorian, captive, Sophie goes to save her and is captured by the Witch. Howl spends an abnormal amount of time in the bathroom every day, and Michael had told Sophie that the day Howl does not spend hours making himself look beautiful for a girl is when he will truly believe that Howl is in love. So when Howl comes to save Sophie, unshaven and a mess, it proves his love for her. He kills the Witch and reveals that Miss Angorian was actually the Witch's fire demon in disguise; the fire demon had taken control of the Witch and was attempting to create a "perfect human" by fusing parts of Wizard Suliman and Prince Justin. It was to be completed by the addition of Howl's head. They have to save everyone, but will they make it?
I really, really liked this book because of all the humor!!!!
Score: I gave it a 10 because  it is one of my favorite books, being about magic and all that

33 minutes until Morgan Sturtz kicks my butt

By Todd Hasak-Lowy (like whaaa)

Sam Lewis is going to get his butt kicked in 33 minutes. By who? Well, as dramatic stories go, it would be his enemy/the school jerk. But, no, it's his former best friend Morgan Sturtz, now turned (biased/only to Morgan) enemy. Meaning that as usual fights go you are hurt physically.And, ya, probably it's a big blow to ya ego. But, this will be the toughest fight. Sam is only recovering from TAMADE (The Absolutely Most Amazing Day Ever, which is the day they split up, so maybe not so awesome?). As a result, he is holding back, and consulting his friends frantically for solutions. Will having to face AND fight his friend take the biggest blow ever to his already out of control emotions, or can Amy his crush get him out of this sticky, sticky, mess? And the most intriguing question: Will Sam ever find the reason why he broke up with Morgan, or will he remain in mystery?
I liked this book because it can just show how much people can mean to you, and that Sam is a good person all the way through, even though difficulties like fighting your best friend are thrown in the way, he believes that Morgan is his friend and he simply cannot fight him.
Score: 8

Alex and Conner, twins, had been brought up in the way of the fairy tales. That is, before their father died. Then their grandma gives them her old fairy tale storybook. It starts humming and glowing every night until one night, the twins fall in. The book takes them to a land....correction, a magical land, double correction: ALEX AND CONNER ARE IN THE LAND OF STORIES! It's a land where all their fairy tales just happen to be real. This means they LEGIT fell through the actual storybook. Then they meet Froggy. A frogman who just so happens to have a way to get back home...But, not so fast.  It requires a wishing spell. And the wishing spell requires special ingredients. Like? Um, like Cinderella's slipper, Sleeping Beauty's spindle, a chunk of Red Riding Hood's basket, a sea dagger in the depths of a thornbush that yanks anyone who comes too close inside to the very bottom, and impossible feat after impossible feat to perform. That was before their troubles started (yes, that was nothing compared to what's going to come now). The Big Bad Wolf gang are after them, and no, they will NOT be as easily defeated as Red Riding Hood's wolf. The Evil Queen (Snow White's stepmother) is on the loose from prison and she has hired a Huntress. And she has orders to kill the twins at any cost. Can they get there before the Evil Queen does?

This is a collection of books in the Hogwarts library. There are three books in the collection, and all are fictional but non fictional....As in, containing such characters or objects that may not exist to us but  do exist to characters in the Harry Potter books.
Book 1
Quidditch through the ages.
This is a book that consists of information regarding the evolution of the well known Quidditch wizarding sport. It also describes some made up Quidditch teams.
Book 2
The tales of Beedle the Bard.
Tales that have morals in them; these stories to young children in the wizarding world are what stories such as The Three Billy Goats Gruff are to us.
Includes:
The wizard and the hopping pot
The Fountain of Fair Fortune
The warlock's hairy heart
Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump (don't ask)
The Tale of the Three Brothers (my favorite)
Book 3
Fantastic Beasts and where to find them
Newt Scamander, an explorer, reports back with details of such Fantastic Beasts he has encountered. These come with the Ministry of Magic's (M.O.M.) rating:
xxxxx    Known wizard killer/impossible to train or domesticate
xxxx      Dangerous/requires specialist knowledge/skilled wizard may handle
xxx        Competent wizard may cope
xx          Harmless/may be domesticated
x            Boring
I liked this collection because it made me feel as if I were actually reading books from the actual Hogwarts library. My favorite parts were: Book 1-When they described the Quidditch teams. Book 2-The Tale of the Three Brothers, a tale of the two of three brothers being greedy and powerful, whilst the last , the wisest. Book 3-reading about the Demiguise.

Oh, not many, just an came-back-from-the-dead invincible army including mummies, and a couple thousand of soul spirits back from the afterlife, the stone warriors, Order operatives turned to, um, DEAD people who just came back from the afterlife, and, oh yeah. Did I mention the fact that NONE OF THEM CAN BE KILLED? Looks like a tough journey. Here's hoping they make it back to New York.
This is one of my favorite books, because of the topic that the author chose to write about ,and is last in the whole breathtaking series.
I learned a lot about ancient Egypt! My favorite part was when they escape from their prison and reunite.
Score: 10!

This is a magazine with some true stories of brave animals who  save humans in the most unlikely circumstances! Examples- dolphins, Lily the pit bull, and the pair of gorillas at the zoo etc.
My favorite story/part was of Lily the pit bull. Who knew animals are live savers as much as policemen/women, or firefighters, or doctors are, too!!
I liked this book because I like animals, and it just really interests me to see all the daring rescues. It's really touching, too.

Big Nate is just an average, eleven-year-old boy. And so much more! Messiest locker, record holder for detentions in a day, an awesome cartoonist, and a member of the Timber Scouts. He loses his skateboard on the way to a scout meeting in the book. Luck is on his side, though. A contest for the most wall hangings sold has the first place prize as...a brand new skateboard! Nate knows he has to do it, but he's up against Mr. Perfect-Arthur-his all time rival (who, strangely doesn't hate him back). Will he beat Arthur to arise victorious?
I enjoyed this book, as it has so much humor in it and ridiculous yet hilarious events happen to Big Nate. My favorite part is when Nate gets in trouble but is set free because his teacher happened to be a Timber Scout from his own times!

True adventures from childhood of the famous author, Roald Dahl. Shows amazing stories of what life was like back then in school, and funny details of his mishaps. It's really fun to learn about his family and the daring pranks he pulls off along with his friends/family. Also, the book has an example of the way our house points system was used in one of Dahl's schools, but differently, and used not in houses, but everyone does it individually rather than depending on teamwork.
I liked this book because of all the exciting things that happen in the book-you can obviously tell Dahl's life is pretty abnormal! The school life bits are my favorite parts, as  there are so many things that are different to what we do today.

This is a history book about WW1.
It is sort of like the Wilfred Owen poem but  it mostly tells interesting facts such as..
Did You Know That...
Sometimes, small children got swept onto the battlefield?
Or...
One soldier apparently went crazy and hallucinated, for, he took his socks off and said they were moving across the ground!
I enjoyed this book because I usually get bored when I read non fiction, but it didn't happen this time, as there were comics and jokes, and not only did I learn a lot, I was entertained during the process. My favorite bit was actually reading the poem on the front!
Score: 6.5

Genre: Horror
Skye's sister, Louisa, died when a man involved in her business disagreed with something she did and causes her to drown tragically. So Skye then goes to a holiday camp for  bereaved kids. However, someone has started to send her messages on a private chat, claiming to be her sister. Not only does she have that mystery to solve, but Joe, a boy at the camp, there because of a dead girlfriend, has something sinister going on with one of Skye's room mates, called Fay. Can she solve both mysteries and possibly save a life??
I liked this book because the author does a good job of showing the character's emotions and inspiring show don't tell, and so many interesting WOW words. I have a favorite part, where Skye went on an orienteering activity, and took a secret path away from the camp along with her friend, Brandon, and made wheat angels in the field, and just had fun and relaxed.
Score: 8
