The Vault of Shadows, the second book of The Nightsiders series, takes place a little after Milo and his friends steal the Heart of Darkness (the only gateway left for the Nightsiders, creatures of mystery and fantasy trying to get back home). However, the alien bugs are brooding and it's up to Milo and his friend are set in for an adventure. The reason I connected to this book is because of it's cool end of the world apocalypse theme. The pacing is wonderful, the character dynamics are great and the story and plot itself if breathtaking, that's why this review is 5 stars. So I would absolutely recommend this book to you after you read the first one (don't make the mistake that I did. I learned that lesson the hard way).

So the parents gave most of there attention to baby Amara, ,but Raina got really jealous.

However, far from encountering a whale that has wrecked world shipping, they soon find themselves on the iron plating of a new kind of vessel, a submarine. Read this book to find out more. I made a connection with this book because I saw the front cover had the tentacles and the tentacles were wrapped around the ship and the ship looked like it was sinking.

I gave this book a 5 star rating, because it was a great book but it had a twist to it. This book is about a girl name Meg. Her father dispersed so these magical people appeared and helped her find him they were rushed to find him. Meg went through a lot to find her dad, I made a connection with this book, because when I lost some very valuable to me and just like Meg she couldn't find her dad, I couldn't find my valuable thing so my friends helped me find it and I was thankful for them just like Meg was thankful for her friends.

This book is about Meg Murry and her many siblings. She gets very nervous about her father because he had gone missing. He had gone missing for many years and they start worrying about him. They eventualy find him by going on a long journey. I gave this book a four star rating because I feel like I could relate to this book because it's about twelve year old girl and I am also twelve.

This book is about Jennifer who is nick-named Cam because of her photographic memory and her friend Eric. One day they were hanging outside and they saw people rushing into a jewelry store. Not long after, two people one holding a baby and one holding a rattle came out of the store. Eric thought something was up with them because he had a sister and they packed a whole diaper bag but the people coming out of the store only had a rattle. They eventually get caught and turns out the diamonds are in the rattle. I give this book a five star rating because it was an amazing book and it didn't skip around. I could relate to this book because it is about young kids that like to figure out mysteries.

Cam Jansen went to a book signing from a famous dog. The famous dog had white fur and black spots. Someone switched him out with a fake all white dog that had shoe polish rubbed on the exact same spots. Cam follows this strand looking man with a dog and he is cutting up words from a magazine and gluing them down on a sheet of paper. The guy is eventually caught and the real famous dog is back with its owner. I gave this book a four star rating because although it is a very good book and can get a little boring at times. I could relate to this book because once my dog went missing and we looked at dogs everywhere outside that looked like him.
