The Great Greene Heist

Jackson promised to stop crafting cons, until Keith Sinclair started running for student council president. He knew that the bully had found some way to bribe the principle in to making sure that no matter what, he would win the race. Jackson was not ready to leave the students in the misery of Keith's leadership, so he worked up a plan.

Meet the team: Hashemi Larijani, tech geek, Victor Cho source of cash, Megan Feldman, science genius. Charlie de la Cruz, reporter and Jackson's main partner in crime. The team will take down Keith and rise up Gaby de la Cruz, the rightful president of the student council, with a fair election.

I enjoyed the action in this book and the consequences that the characters would face if they didn't do the job right.

Chains

Chains, by Laurie Halse Anderson, is a historical fiction book about the revolutionary war. Isabel, the main character, is an African Salve. When Isabel's mistress dies, her and her sister are sold to a cruel vicious woman. Isabel's new mistress is Loyal to the King and when Isabel meets another slave she is asked to spy on her mistress. However, being a spy could threaten the lives of Isabel and her sister and she doesn't know if she wants to take that chance. It is only after a series of unfortunate events that Isabel decides to go with her heart, unafraid of what the consequences will be. I like this story because it shows the revolutionary war from the eyes of a salve. I would rate this a 4.5 stars out of 5 stars.

Auggie And Me

Auggie and me is about the story of wonder told in perspectives of different characters from the book. This book is by  Raquel J. Palacio. It is a great book. And I highly recommend it.

The Heroes of Olympus


The Heroes of Olympus series is my favorite series Rick Riordan wrote. This series is full of action and is suspenseful. If you love to read action books I recommend this series. You will love them. This book is about a prophecy, that predicted seven demigods would unite to protect the earth from Gaea, the goddess of the Earth, before she wakes up. Gaea, on the other hand, is planning to destroy it.

Hidden like Anne Frank


Hidden like Anne Frank is a book that take place in Amsterdam during World War 2. It is the story of 14 Jewish children that went into hiding because of Hitler. All of these children had to leave their friends, family and homes. I found this book very interesting and I liked how it showed many children story's. It really gives you a deeper look into World War 2 and takes you into their world. You get to experience their slim get-aways. I would rate this book a 4 out of 5 stars.


Calico Captive

Calico Captive is a great book, one of my favorites. It is about a girl named Miriam who lived in the 1750s. One day, in her settlement, she heard a shrill of Indian calls. It was and Indian raid. They took her and her family on a frightening journey through the woods. She found herself an Indian captive, caught up in the French and Indian war. Now she would have to survive with the little food that was given to her, and all she could look forward to was a life of slavery. Could she get out of this? Could she survive this seemingly endless trail?
As I said earlier love this book it took me on an adventure of ups and downs and I found myself reading this and unable to put it down. I did not think it would be that good, but it was wonderful. It also gives you a little twist of love. I would rate this book a 5 out of 5 stars.



When You Reach Me

When You Reach Me is written by Rebecca Stead. One day a girl named Miranda starts getting mysterious notes, but she does not know who the notes are from or what they are for. These notes do not make much sense to Miranda and they actually make her a little nervous because of what they say. The notes make it seem as though someone is watching her. Not only does the notes not make much sense, but also some other things that go on in the neighborhood do not make much sense. I really enjoyed this book because it always kept me wondering what was going to happen and it kept me confused (you will understand why when you read the book). I would give this book 5 stars out of 5 stars.
