Two years have passed since Janie Scott last saw Benjamin Burrows, the mysterious apothecary's son who stole her heart. On the other side of the world, Benjamin and his father are treating the sick and wounded in the war-torn jungles of Vietnam. But Benjamin has been experimenting with a new magical formula that allows him to communicate with Janie across the globe. When Benjamin discovers that she's in trouble, he calls on their friend Pip for help. The three friends are thrown into a desperate chase around the world to find one another, while unraveling the mystery of what threatens them all.
The Apprentices by is a great book! My favourite part about this book is that there is a lot of alchemy and magic! I also like that the characters that are in 's first book The Apothecary are still the main characters in the second book.
One thing that I didn't like about the book was that there were a couple chapters where not much happened.
All in all, The Apprentices by is a great book!

I really liked Penguin Problems. It was really good and I read it in two days because I didn't want to put it down!
Ty goes through many difficult situations. One of the things I liked is how Winnie was really calm when she had to solve one of Ty's problems. I also liked how the author described the characters, how she described that Winnie and Sandra and Ty all have brown hair and how Winnie is way more relaxed and calm than Sandra. I also liked the book because it is really funny. One of the funny parts is when Price (Ty's book buddy) gets his head stuck in the metal bars at the school.
When I first picked this book I didn't realize that Ty is actually Winnie's brother from one of my favorite series, the Winnie Years. It is funny and a can't-put-down-book for me!

Paige Turner is determined that this year she will be different: someone gutsy - brave enough to stand up to her tormentor, class bully Viveca Frye. It takes a lot of work for Paige to bring out her inner Oklahoma, but she's helped along the way by her best friend, her sympathetic teacher, her bratty cousin, and some hilarious but inspiring events at home and at school.
In Call Me Oklahoma, one of the things I liked is how in the beginning, Paige walks into her kitchen and announces that she now wants everyone to call her Oklahoma. I also like the interesting names that the author uses in this book, for example Paige's cousin is named Cordelia and the mean girl in Paige's class is named Viveca. I also like the words that the author uses, like "gimmicky" and "inferior". If I was the author of this book I think I would feel really proud of myself for writing such an amazing book.
I hope you will read this book and enjoy it as much as I did. I give this book two thumbs up.

This book is about three kids on a big mission to find a missing dinosaur egg. Their names are Cammie, Tessa, their cousin Nate and Hooligan the dog. Cammie and Tessa are the children of the President of the United States and live at the White House. Cammie, Tessa, and Nate were asked by the Secret Service to help them solve a mystery about a missing dinosaur egg. They use Hooligan as their secret weapon.
I liked this book because the characters are smart and sneaky. Some words in the book are difficult, but even if I didn't understand some of the words I knew what was happening. It wasn't as suspenseful as the other book in this series, The Case of the Ruby Slippers, but I still recommend this book if you really like mysteries.

After having spent the last year training to be a top-level spy and dodging all sorts of associated danger, Ben Ripley is ready to have some fun and relax. Except that's not going to happen, because a spy-in-training's work is never done. As threats from SPYDER - an enemy spy organization - heat up, will Ben be able to keep his cover - and his cool?
Spy Camp by is a really good book! If you have read Spy School, you will really like this book.
I enjoyed it because I thought that Ben was really smart and good at thinking on his feet. I also liked that Erica Hale was a perfect spy because she was a girl and because she helped Ben a lot during this book. I also like that the whole book takes place in the wilderness because it makes Ben's mission even harder.
I would definitely read more books by !
