On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness by Andrew Peterson

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

Once, in a cottage above the cliffs on the Dark Sea of Darkness, there lived three children and their trusty dog Nugget. Janner Igiby, his brother Tink, their crippled sister Leeli are gifted children as all children are, loved well by a noble mother and ex-pirate grandfather. But they will need all their gifts and all that love to survive the evil pursuit of the venomous Fangs of Dang who have crossed the dark sea to rule the land with malice and pursue the Igibys who hold the secret to the lost legend and jewels of good King Wingfeather of the Shining Isle of Anniera.

MY THOUGHTS:

I think this is a good book! It's like Chronicles of Narnia and Lord of the Rings, but in a different and better way. With new creatures, new characters, and people that have their own kinds of problems, I recommend this book for anyone who enjoys reading fantasy.

One of my favorite scenes was when the Igibys attacked Slarb the first time. I also like it when Peet the Sockman beat the snot out of Slarb. Another favorite thing about this book are that all the characters are very interesting. My favorite character was Janner, because he was always cool headed and whenever he did lose his cool, he tried to regain it as fast as he could.

Highly recommended for fantasy fiction fans.

The Name of this Book is Secret by Pseudonymous Bosch

Book Description:

Warning: this description has not been authorized by Pseudonymous Bosch. As much as he'd love to sing the praises of his book (he is very vain), he wouldn't want you to hear about his brave 11-year old heroes, Cass and Max-Ernest. Or about how a mysterious box of vials, the Symphony of Smells, sends them on the trail of a magician who has vanished under strange (and stinky) circumstances. And he certainly wouldn't want you to know about the hair-raising adventures that follow and the nefarious villains they face. You see, not only is the name of this book secret, the story inside is, too. For it concerns a secret. A Big Secret.


My thoughts:


What can I say about "The Name of this Book is Secret" that I have not already said about "Skullduggery Pleasant"? This book has suspense, action, and mystery. This book reminded me a lot of Lemony Snicket's series, and I'm hoping the author writes more, because he left a lot to finish up.

Cass and Max-Ernest unravel a plot about murder and a kidnapping. They have to solve a magician's murder and prevent another one.

I liked this story as much as my favorite book, "Skullduggery Pleasant." I recommend "The Name of this Book is Secret" for ages 10 to100.

I give it a 4 out of 5.

Bill The Warthog Mysteries:Full Metal Trench Coat By: Dean A. Anderson

"I don't suppose you have a friend who is a warthog. You probably don't have a friend who is a professional detective, either. So it's very unlikely that you have a friend who's both. But I do."

Bill the warthog is, as you guessed, a warthog named Bill. He has a friend named Nick Sayga . The book is about Bill solving mysteries and they are really cool.

Like, there was this mystery about this guy who is trying to get kids to buy stock in his product, but the product was fake, and Bill proves it by solving the mystery.

The part about God is in the title.

"Full Metal Trench Coat" means the armor of God. In the back of the book, the author talks about what it means to wear the full armor of God. That's great, because you get a great story and a Bible lesson in one book.

This book is for all ages. I give Bill The Warthog Mysteries:Full Metal Trench Coat By: Dean A. Anderson 4 out of 5.

Seriously Sick Bible Stuff By Ed Strauss

This book describes what everyday life was really like in ancient Israel. As part of the 2:52 series for boys, this humorous book is full of factual, gross information that is sure to get boys reading their Bibles, and make them thankful for the blessings they enjoy today.

This book is gross and it is cool. It deals all kinds of stuff. It covers things from life way, way back then to Jesus's life.

For example, in the book they explain why they had to wash their hands so often, and it is really gross and cool at the same time!

This is not for the queasy or faint hearted. It is for boys.

I love this book.

I give it a 5 out of 5.

Oh, Yikes! : History's Grossest Moments by Joy Masoff

Hi it is me again.

Two in one day--I am on a roll.

Oh, Yikes! is one of the best books that has facts about history.

Did you know that Yo-yo's used to be a deadly weapon?

How about that an 11th-century Norwegian king decided to teach his ungrateful subjects a lesson and appointed his dog, Saur to the throne; the pooch ruled for three years.

All these and more facts are found in this book. It's the perfect book for boys and girls, and to torture your parents with facts that drive them nuts.

I give this book 5 bookmarks out of 5.

Assorted Foxtrot by Bill Amend

Now I've been gone a long time.

I was fighting the villain school work.

So let us get started.

Foxtrot by any other name is an awesome comic. Assorted Foxtrot is one of the best Foxtrot collection that I've ever read. It's so funny. Anybody who likes comic strips will like this.

Jason is smart, and he gets his brother, Peter and Paige to pay him to do their school work. He is also an evil genius, so he maniacally tortures his brother and sister at the same time.

Their dad can't cook a hamburger to save his life...or at least, not BURN himself while cooking a hamburger! And mom is trying to write a book review column...hey, does that sound familiar to you?

Sounds like a typical, normal family to you, right? But when you add in Jason's pet iguana, Quincy, that chews up all of Paige's stuff, and Jason's friend Marcus who gets into all kinds of trouble with him...you get the more than typical comic strip.

Toss in all kinds of subject matter for humor, and you get "Assorted Foxtrot".

I give Assorted Foxtrot by Bill Amend 4 book marks out of 5.

Midnight For Charlie Bone by Jenny Nimmo

The Charlie Bone series is a really good series. It is so good, we're going to review it one book at a time.

In "Midnight For Charlie Bone", Charlie finds out he has an extraordinary power, and he ends up having to attend a special school called Bloor's Academy. There he meets Fidelio, his new friend an a really good musician.

Charlie also meets Olivia Vertigo, Gabriel Silk, and Emma Tolly. They all have a special power of some kind. Well, most of them do anyway.

Charlie has two grandmothers that he lives with...one is good, and one is, well, not so good. His mom also lives with him, but his dad mysteriously died. And that is part of the mystery Charlie tries to solve.

His best friend in the entire world is a kid named Benjamin Brown, and his dog is named Runnerbean (cool, huh?).

In this book, they are trying to save a girl who is hypnotized, Emma, from the evil people: Asa Pike, Manfred Bloor, and Zelda Dobinski.

"Midnight For Charlie Bone" isn't all that scary...at least, I don't think so. But you might not want to be reading it at night. It's kind of a cross between Harry Potter and a book by Roald Dahl.

I give "Midnight For Charlie Bone" ten out of five bookmarks...I REALLY like this series. I recommend it for ages 10 and up. Even my mom (and I'm not saying how old she is) would like this book. If I can ever get her to read it...
