FunJungles own mascot Henry the hippo is dead! Teddy soon realizes that Henry was murdered. Who would kill Henry and why? That's what Teddy Fitzroy is going to figure out, a 12 year old boy who grew up in Africa with his two parents, he now lives in FunJungle with both of his parents who work there. Will this be dangerous? He's not sure. Will he figure out who killed Henry without getting killed himself? He hopes so.

When J.J McCracken's daughter who is incredibly famous arrives in town she decided to help him out. Can he trust her? Will she tell her dad who is the owner of FunJungle? Will she betray him?

I recommend this book to anyone who likes action packed stories! If you like action and adventure this is the book for you!

Teddy gets bullied a lot at school. So when a bully named Vance threatens him, he has no way out of pulling a prank at FunJungle. FunJungle is a zoo in Texas where both of Teddy's parents work, because they work full time there they get to live at the zoo! Vance makes him put a fake arm in the shark tank, but meanwhile a koala has just gotten kidnapped while he was trying to run away from all the security guards.

Where is Kazoo the Koala? Will he be okay? Will Teddy figure out who kidnapped him? Read Poached by Stuart Gibbs to find out.

I recommend this book to anyone who likes action and adventure. It's a really good book and I would rate it 5 out of 5 stars.

When Ben is expelled from spy school he returns to his normal life, but not for long. One day at school Joshua Hall comes and offers him a spot at SPYDER an evil spy school. He agrees to because Joshua threatened him. But he decides he should just become a spy for the good guys so don't worry he is not a bad guy. I don't want to give to much away but that basically sums up the first chapter but with less details.

Ben has to figure out what evil plans SPYDER has in mind this time. SPYDER is unpredictable and sneaky. Will Ben figure out what evil plans they have? More importantly will he be able to stop them? Read Evil spy school by Stuart Gibbs to find out.

I recommend this book to anyone who likes action and adventures. It was very exciting, entertaining and action packed. I would rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.

Rory is FINALLY 12. Whenever she asked for something her parents always said "when your 12." And today she is finally 12. She made a list that has things she wants to do when she is 12, like, get her ears pierced, get a bunny, get a phone, etc. But when everything starts to go wrong she wonders if she should have written the list in the first place. She is a pretty good sport about it all and luckily her best friend Annabelle is there for her through it all. The one good thing that happens is that her crush (Jake Harrison) is filming a movie at her school and there are auditions for extras!

This book is the second book in the series and I absolutely love the series. Willow falls is no ordinary place and remember there are no such thing as coincidences.

I recommend this book to anyone who has read 11 birthdays by: Wendy Mass. It's a great book I think everyone should read.

The book "The last present" by Wendy Mass is sadly the last book in the series. It is by far my favorite series because of all the mystery and magic. I love how the book is so unpredictable, you think something is going to happen and then something else does, the book is very surprising.

This book is about Amanda, Leo, Rory, Tara and David. This group of friends lives in a small town named Willow Falls and is a very odd group. David's dad is very sick and in the hospital so right away David has to go see him, from then on he isn't mentioned much in the book. Meanwhile back in Willow Falls a little girl who is turning 10 gets sick on her birthday! No one ever gets sick in Willow Falls and there definitely aren't ever coincidences I'm Willow Falls. And when Angelina is involved nothing good ever happens!

Angelina has Leo and Amanda (she is telling the story) go back in time to all of Graces birthday parties that Angelina and company have already messed up. I don't want to give anything else away but it's a crazy adventure!

I rate this book 10/10 because it's a wonderful book, I love the style of writing that they use. What I didn't like so much is that something happens between Amanda and Leo but I'm not going to give it away if you didn't already find out.

I recommend this book to anyone who likes action, mysteries and unpredictable stories. It has a lot going on at once so don't read this book if you don't like action-packed stories. But it's a great book and definitely recommend it.

I meant to indent that first paragraph sorry!

This is a book about a girl named Kat who writes a diary and the book was her diary.

This summer Kat wants to lose a Ton of weight because she feels like she is fat! So almost everyday Kat goes to the gym and works out. When a cute boy (in her opinion not mine) comes into the picture Kat is really determined to lose 15 pounds by the end of the summer.

I didn't really enjoy this book that much because it wasn't very intriguing and interesting in my opinion. It's all about how to keep healthy and it's not to exciting to me.

I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a book about how to stay healthy! I rate it a 1.3 out of 5. As I said before I didn't really enjoy this book that much.

This book is about a boy named Lenny and his friend Casper who have some type of adventure...

One day they walk into their small town shop, Casper has a very rich grandma so she always gives him money. He has wanted this fake mustache called the Heidelberg Handlebar #7. It is a very expensive fake mustache because... Well you will have to read the book to figure that out, but anyways this mustache changes Casper in every way possible and the town starts to get weird! Everything starts to go wrong! Lenny thinks it's Casper's fault, but how will he prove it before time runs out?

I rate this book a 3.5 out of 5 because it's a pretty good book but it's really suspenseful, kind of romantic and action packed and I like lots of action but I don't really like waiting for it. I also dislike romantic books a lot! I would recommend this book to anyone who likes mustaches and action!

This amazing book is third in the series (the other books in the series before this book are 11 birthdays and Finally both by Wendy Mass). This book is a wonderful book! Definitely one of my favorite books ever!

13 Gifts is about a girl named Tara who has to spend a summer in Willow Falls, the town where her parents grew up, she has to go there on very short notice because she did something that got her suspend from school in the last 2 weeks of school before summer(even though she is totally innocent!!)

She has crazy adventures revolving around an old, old, old lady named Angelina who has special powers that no one else has. (if you have read any of this series you should know who she is.)

Tara isn't really "popular" at her school because she moves so much, so she doesn't really have friends(There is a reason why she moves so much but I don't want to spoil anything.) Tara goes to Willow Falls and she meets friends immediately and she starts to even like it there, to bad her parents couldn't go with her but they had to go to Madagascar to study monkeys for her mom's (Molly) work.

I rate this book a 11 out of 10!!! It's that good of a book! I definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes fiction and a great book. If I had the time to read this book 1,000 times I would!

But if you decide to read this book you should read 11 birthdays and Finally by Wendy mass or this book won't make that much sense because it uses some of the same characters. The books before 13 gifts are really good too!

If you want a good book/series to read choose this series!!!

I recommend this book to anyone who likes comics and who likes drama books!

Callie loves working back stage at the school theater! She just absolutely loves making the plays come to life! She would try out for the play "Moon over Mississippi" if she could sing(it's a musical play). Instead of being an actor on stage she is the designer for the "set crew". There is a lot of pressure on her and the crew members aren't getting along great! When two cute brothers(In her opinion not mine) enter the picture drama starts to form!! How can she make the best play ever when all of that drama is happening around her?

Raina can't wait to have a little sister! She begs and begs and begs some more for a sister! But when the time finally comes and she gets a sister things don't go as she planned, she wanted to be a big sister and play every day with her little sister but Amara(Raina's little sister) is more independent, cranky and a mean baby (in her opinion). There relationship isn't that good and it sure doesn't improve over all the years! When a little brother enters the family things change dramatically! Plus something weird is going on between there parents so they have to figure out how to get along!

Smile is a awesome book! This comic filled book consists of a story about a 11 year old girl who needs to get braces, but when she falls and knocks her 2 front teeth out the orthodontists plans change! Read this book to find out what happens to Raina and how she gets through it!

Ella needs to choose popular it normal, popular kids have always been mean to her in the past and they still are, will that effect her decision? Read "Camo Girl" to find out. I rate this book 2 1/2 stars. I didn't really like it because I didn't like the romance In it and it kind if ruined it for me.
