He is chosen along with Miguel Fernandez, Akimi Hughes, Andrew Peckleman, Bridgette Wadge, Sierra Russell, Sean Keegan, Haley Daley, Rose Vermette, Kayla Corson, and Charles Chiltington. Once they enter, they eventually find out that this is no ordinary visit. In fact, this is a game to exit the library. This is a change of plans, and Kyle is determined to win. The winner will be famous and also recieve lots of money. Many contestants decide to team up, while some use others. There are many ways to become disqualified. Sometimes players get penalties for incorrectly solving a puzzle. THis book was amazing! Chris Grabenstein really knows how to keep you hooked to the plot and on the edge of the seat. Your heart is beating because you don’t know how the challenge will end. Will the character solve the puzzle, or get disqualified? The author also lets you know what every player is doing. They may have a piece of the puzzle that someone else needs. While reading this book, I was wondering why I did not pick this book up earlier. The puzzles and clues are complex, but not impossible. I enjoyed playing along. I cannot wait to read the sequel. THis is definitely a 5 star book. A great for grades 3 or 4 and above.

The book talks about the introduction of the main character, Eddie. Eddie was an 83-year-old retired soldier who worked for Ruby Pier. Following the accident, Eddie was sent to heaven, where he would meet five different people. I enjoyed the beginning of this book because the author easily grabs the reader's attention. The book starts with a countdown to Eddie’s death, which made me want to find out everything that happened. From the book, there was nothing that I disliked because the book was written so well. While reading this book, the character's feelings made me feel as if I were right there with them. The author causes the reader to feel sadness and joy throughout each chapter. I recommend this book to people who are 10 years old or older . Because it has some sad parts, so the reader needs to have a strong heart. “The Five People You Meet in Heaven” is an excellent book to read.

The #1 video game ever? A classic N64 Title in which I am not very good at so I should switch to the 3DS version? A manga! Take My Money!!!! This is a great book and very engaging story. If you a Retro nerd who likes to read this is the book for you! By the way if you reading the regular book just make sure to start from the back (that's how it is in Japan) or you'll find the end.

The book The Secret Garden was written by Frances Hodgson Burnett in 1911. It is about a rude and spoiled little girl named Mary. She came from India but isn’t Indian. When she was born she wasn't wanted By her father or mother, so they gave her to a lady to watch over her. Mostly, servants took care of Mary and had to do whatever she asked of them or demanded because people didn't want her to throw a fit or cry. This made her grow up, having everything her way and done for her. One day, a great number of people in the household had died from sickness or had fled away in terror and most everyone had seen to disappear. People later found Mary in her nursery and came to take her to live with her Uncle, who is depressed and ends up having no time to pay attention to or love her. Over time she slowly learns to do things on her own and not to rely on everybody else to do things for her. She finds out that there is a secret garden that her uncle’s wife used to love, but she passed away, Which devastated him. So, he shut away the garden and never wanted to see it again. He buried the key to the garden, and no one has seen it for 10 years. Mary later learns to like people other than herself and to enjoy nature and what it has to offer. She meets a kind boy named Dickon, who teaches her a lot about gardens and helps her learn about them. She starts to enjoy plants and animals and has the desire to learn more about them. She starts to spend more time playing outside and sees the beauty of nature. I truly enjoyed this book and rate it a five out of five. I would recommend it to anyone passionate about gardens/plants and classics. Thanks!

I really liked James and the Giant Peach. It is a really magical book. It really takes you into the story, it is like you are in the peach with James. This story is about a boy named James. James lives with his two mean aunts because his parents were eaten by a rhino. One day, on a tree in a James' yard a peach grows on the tree. But it is not any peach it is a magical peach. It grows so big it gets bigger than the tree it is on. The peach falls off of the tree and it rolls down the hill James lives on. There is a whole crazy adventure on the peach that I do not want to spoil! My favorite part of James and the Giant peach is when the peach is in the air flying and it falls on the Empire State Building. I really like Roald Dahl. (He is the author of James and the Giant peach). His books are so so funny. This book is probably one of the best books that I ever read! I will totally read another one of Roald Dahl's books. I will totally recommend this book to you! I hope you enjoy the book, and if you do there is a movie!

I read this book for school, because I needed to read some Newberry Medal Winners. That was one of the best assignments I've ever had and I'm here to tell you why. Sometimes you just wish you could read a comic book while you're reading a normal book, and when you switch you want a normal book. This book solves the problem. It's both. And then, there are also the lovable characters. There's Mrs. Tickham, Flora's neighbor, who gets a vacuum for her birthday and- well, that's another story. And there's Flora's mom, the author who writes romance novels. There's Flora's dad, a very safe driver that lives in fear of a landlord's cat. There's William Spiver, Mrs. Tickham's great-nephew, who randomly shoots out weird quotes. There's my favorite character, Ulysses, who (Things are about to get weird) gets run over by a vacuum cleaner and turns into a superhero (A flying, typing superhero to be specific) There's Flora, the Incandesto-obsessed cynic (Don't ask me what that means) who saves the life of Ulysses after he gets run over by the vaccuum cleaner. If you read this book you'll understand why it's a Newberry Medal Winner.

I read it several times and I loved it! This book is about two siblings, Jack and Annie. They found a magic tree house which can take them to other times or places. They accidently went to a time when there were dinasours. There are funny parts inside the book. I think it's a bit too easy, so I reccomend it to 5 to 8 years old!

Magic tree house is a very entertaining series to read when I read Mary's books I feel like I'm a character in the book now I don't read to many books like that but magic tree house sure is one of few that I will read all day long! Thanks for reading I hope you enjoy as much as I do.

Get ready to be wowed by Tui T. Sutherland's first installment in the "Legends" spin-off series! Told from the perspective of three different dragons- Clearsight the NightWing, Fathom the SeaWing, and Darkstalker himself, this beautifully crafted novel shows us what motivated Darkstalker to become the twisted dragon we know well as of the modern arcs. I absolutely adored every page of this book. It gave us rich insight to the history of Pyrrhia, from its normalization of animi to the fact that RainWings' powers were actually well-known, featured in the guide to the tribes, and feared by many. Despite Darkstalker's villainy, he was a character the reader could easily empathize with, and his backstory was fleshed-out, and, in the grand scheme of things, made sense. Clearsight was a lovely POV, although I'd like to get a bit more detail as to why her seer powers were so strong, and if it could happen again in the modern timeline. Fathom's character itself seemed a bit lacking, and it was rather reminiscent of Turtle- now we know why Darkstalker called him that when he summoned him in Talons of Power- but his chapters were filled with action, suspense, and emotion. His past trauma was something rarely explored in middle-grade books such as Wings of Fire, but it was executed wonderfully. The massacre scene was amazingly written, and gave me chills the first time I read it. The three protagonists worked wonderfully together, and Darkstalker's spiral into madness was gradual and extremely interesting to watch play out. I do wish Arctic's death was described in a bit more detail, although I have a hunch that if it was, this wouldn't be a middle-grade novel. Darkstalker's relationship with Whiteout was something I adored- Whiteout was one of my favorite characters, since neurodivergent characters are just so rare in Wings of Fire. She was nicely written and the detail about her scavenger doll was just adorable! Darkstalker's devotion to Foeslayer was also sweet- there is a SERIOUS lack of positive parent-child relationships in Wings of Fire. I liked how Indigo could see through Darkstalker from the start- it showed how Albatross made her far more vigilant. I never saw her plot twist coming! And, speaking of Albatross, he was a sinister character who, despite his early death, managed to be insanely well-written. The writing style of the book also seemed a lot more mature and serious than the main series, a change I personally enjoyed. If you're looking for a novel with dragons, morally gray main characters, and magic, Legends: Darkstalker should be your go-to (although I would recommend reading the main series, first!)
