Fablehaven: The Secrets of the Dragon Santuary

Fablehaven: Secrets of the Dragon Sanctuary is the fourth book in the Fablehaven series. The action in this book starts when Kendra goes to her after school job, a helper with the young kids in daycare. A man named Rex that ran the day-care was extremely excited to show Kendra a game that they were going to play that day. The game involved reaching into a box to feel what was inside and guess what it was. On the final box she reached in and pricked her finger on a cactus. Rex said that he thought that he had pulled them all out, but he must have missed one. This turned out to not be true. Twenty minutes later a clone of Kendra was made and was taught to act as Kendra so that he could kidnap Kendra, and bring her to the Sphinx, the Captain of the Society of the Evening Star who would want to use Kendra's powers against her side. This book takes them to an adventure that involves fighting hydras, dragons, and trying to fight to beat the bad side from collecting all five artifacts which together could open Zzyzx the demon prison which would undoubtedly be the end of the world. This book was so good that I couldn't put it down because it is action packed and suspenseful(the last sentence of the book really wants you to get the fifth and final book of the series so bad). I think that you will like it too. I would give this book 4.5 stars out of 5.

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, #1 in the series, by Rick Riordan

This is the story about a kid named Percy Jackson, a little troublemaker in New York, who finds out he isn't normal. Monsters start to get attracted to him, and his best friend Grover pulls him to Camp Half- Blood. He is actually the son of a god! He later, along with Grover and his new friend Annabeth, go on this quest to save the world from World War III because someone has stolen the most powerful weapon ever, Zeus's lightning bolt. Along with the incredible story line, action, and creative chapter titles, I'd give this book a 6 star rating out of 5 stars. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did!
