I read the book The Maze of Bones by Rick Riordan, part of the 39 clues series. It is really interesting and has lots of suspense. It is about the Cahills, a family that is very important and has helped shape the past and possibly the future. They went all over the world searching for the lost family treasure. In this book, they were in France. They traveled with a cat and a babysitter as their guardian. They started their journey after their grandmother died. This is because the special handpicked members of the family found out about the 39 clues on her funeral day. Next, I read One False Note by Gordon Korman. The family includes a lot of famous people (like Mozart) who helped set clues for this hunt long ago. The Cahills are running around the world with their babysitter as their guardian. In this book (#2) they are in Venice, Italy. I recommend this book to everyone - people of all ages – it was a great book. To find out what happens– read the next in the series.

I have recently read Dear God, It's Me, Margaret a great read by Judy Blume. It was funny, interesting, and had a great plot. I would give this book five out of five stars. This book is about a girl named Margaret who moves to a new place. There she meets some new friends and joins their girls only club. They discuss gossip, boys, and growing up. This book was funny and hard to put down and I'm sure if you read it you will love it just as much as I did.

I have recently read the book New Moon by Stephanie Meyer. It is the second book of the Twilight series. I thought this book was fascinating! It’s very interesting and never makes you stop reading it. In New Moon, Edward and his family move away from Forks for Bella’s safety from being killed by other vampires, but then Bella then starts to hang out with Jacob Black, which eases Bella’s pain over losing Edward. I recommend this book to ages 10 and up. I highly encourage you to read New Moon and the Twilight series. You’ll soon realize that this book is amazing!

Gathering Blue, by Lois Lowry, is a companion to The Giver. Kira, an orphan with a twisted leg, lives in a world where the weak are cast aside. She fears for her future until she is spared by the all-powerful Council of Guardians. Kira is a gifted weaver and is given a task that no other community member can carry out. While her talent keeps her alive and brings certain privileges, Kira soon realizes that she is surrounded by mysteries and secrets. I enjoyed reading this book, and I think good readers in the 5th and 6th grade would enjoy this fantasy as well. If you read The Giver and liked it - you'll like this one too!
