The Ship of Secrets by Geronimo Stilton
3.0
It was really boring when I started it, but as the story goes on it gets a little more exciting. I probably won't re-read it.
Ban This Book by Alan Gratz
5.0
Can I give this book 10 stars?
It's hilarious, heartwarming and overall an epic read.
I will 100% recommend it to everyone and I will re-read it many, many times.

The World Ends in April by Stacy McAnulty
2.0
I loved The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl but I don't feel the same was about The World Ends in April. It was okay. Not bad but I didn't love it.
After all that was said about TEOTWAWKI (the end of the world as we know it) I was expecting a more exciting ending.
Like an asteroid ending the world.
I found Eleanor, the main character, a little bit annoying, but I liked Eleanor's best friend, Mack.
I probably won't recommend it and probably won't re-read it either.
2/5 stars

Before the Ever After by Jacqueline Woodson
5.0
I'm not a big fan of Jaqueline Woodson but I absolutely LOVED Before the Ever After.
It's great if you like reading about families and their relationships with each other.
The writing style is great and the book is funny and sad at the same time.
What made me read this book was actually its name as I wanted to find out why it had such a curious name.
I'd recommend it to fans of Michael Morpurgo (or anyone else).

Wild Magic by Tamora Pierce
DNF at 63%
Wild Magic was not at all what I thought it would be. It was dull, boring and tedious.
I would not recommend it and I might give it one more try but that is not likely.

The Wild Robot Escapes by Peter Brown
5.0
I loved this even more than the first book, The Wild Robot. It was a little more believable and totally realistic.
I thought Roz had a great sense of adventure. My favourite characters probably were Jaya and Jad.
It is possible if it wasn't for them that Roz would not be able to escape at all!
Dr. Molovo was also really kind-hearted and interesting too.
If I re-read this (which is probably will), I will definitely re-read The Wild Robot as well.
I would recommend it if you like short but fun adventure stories with happy endings.
I'm so happy that I read this!

Quest for the City of Gold by Chris Grabenstein, James Patterson, Juliana Neufeld
4.0
I think this book was very informative but not too informative and I certainly learned a lot from Storm.
In the middle I got a little tired of Bickford and Rebecca's "Twin Tirades".
I would ONLY recommend it if you like short action and adventure stories

Lights Out by James Patterson
2.0
There is a lot I didn't like about this book so I will try to sort it out.
Things I didn't like -
-There was too much action. Much more than I like.
-It was really complicated and therefore I did not know what was going on a lot of the time (I cannot say that's the book's fault because it is actually my fault I started with the sixth book and not the first book)
-At one point, Dana, Emma and the rest were completely left out.
-The whole book was overly drastic!
-And Daniel had too many powers (sorry).
Things I liked -
-The things that made sense (which is mostly nothing so I'm not going to try and list them here)
-Daniel defeated (?) Number 1 in the end.
Yes, that is pretty much all I liked about this book.
Lights Out was a big disappointment and if I ever re-read it I will read the series IN ORDER!!
I can't say I would not recommend it either because technically I haven't even read the entire series yet. Like not even the first book.

Mr. Lemoncello's Library Olympics by Chris Grabenstein
3.0
This book isn't a favourite but I liked it.
First off, Mr. Lemoncello was a little ... weird. And I agreed that he didn't like libraries "qua" libraries.
Marjory was the best and Kyle was really annoying at times. Even Sierra.
I will probably re-read it if I am getting bored and not otherwise.
