Room One
By: Andrew Clements
Book Blurb By: A.J.
Room One is about a boy named Ted who is the only 6th grader in his school of 9. Since there is one room in the school, it’s being threatened to be shut down. Ted has a bigger problem: he found a family of 3 in an abandoned farmhouse in his town that is running away from somebody trying to track them in Texas. Ted promises not to tell anybody about them, but he tells his teacher anyway. The day after he told her, the family is gone and there are tire tracks in the driveway. What happened to them? What will Ted do now? I liked this book because at times it can get very suspenseful and mysterious. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a good mystery. I give this book a four out of four star rating.Topics: Uncategorized | No Comments »

From The Mixed Up files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankwieler
Blurb By: Michael
By E. L. Konigsburg
WOW! This Book Was AMAZING! Right when I first started reading it I couldn’t stop reading. It’s a mystery book. This book is mainly about a girl named Claudia and a boy named Jamie who run away from home and stay secretly at a museum. They try and see if Michelangelo made the statue that Mrs. Basil E. Frankwieler sold for $225.00. There was a carving on the statue that Michelangelo puts on his statues. My favorite character is Jamie because he is like me and saves money for importance. He changes throughout the story by being very strict and not spending money and changes to realizing that he needs to spend the money for food and buses. I would recommend this to any one who likes reading calm mystery books. I give this book 5 Stars.Topics: Uncategorized | No Comments »

Encyclopedia Brown: Gets His Man
By: Jagr F.
Book By: Donald J. Sobol
Encyclopedia Brown about a boy that has a detective business and its in a garage. He is a detective person that helps people’s cases like a stolen violin, a stolen bike, and fake injuries. It only costs 25 cents just to make Encyclopedia to help you. There is a club called Tigers and Encyclopedia is an enemy with them! 25 cents for detective services is a good deal! I would do it for five bucks! The book is good for mysteries because its finding clues and there’s detectives. Also, Encyclopedia Brown finds out almost every case he gets! People think he is smarter than a FBI!Topics: Uncategorized | No Comments »

Trouble At Lake Tahoe Nancy Drew

Nancy Drew Trouble At Lake Tahoe
Blurb By: Christie Wechsler
There are many characters in the book but my favorite is Nancy. Nancy is my favorite because she solves all the action packed things and she does all the critical thinking. What I liked about the book was that there were scary parts and some spooky things too, for example when Katie flipped in the air I thought that doing an acrobatic trick or the judges. But actually when I was reading the book, I thought that I was going into the story. When Nancy was sneaking arround outside at night when everybody was eating their delicious pasta. Nancy was spying on two people she couldn't tell who it was but she did see a face or two. When the two people turned around, Nancy hopped into the boat so they wouldn't see her. When Nancy turned a bit somebody pushed her into the icy cold water and she couldn't tell who it was because they vanished in a hurry. You will have to read the book to find out what happened next. I would give this book a *****star and I would recommend this book to anybody who likes mysteries.Topics: Uncategorized | No Comments »
