Cryptid Hunters  has a lot to do with mysteries so, if you like mysteries, than I bet you a billion bucks you’ll love this book.  This book also has a lot to do with teamwork and dinosaurs.  I like mysteries, haunted and, spooky things.  I would change the part where it is just boring old Noah Blackwood jumps out of a helicopter and instead more action.  I would have solved the problem with Noah Blackwood and think of ways to make him forget about Wolfe  so he does not disturb Wolfe. One juicy word that can easily describe this whole book is  MYSTERIOUS.  This book is amazing I recommend it for you.  But remember if you like Mystories and prehistoric animals remember this might just be a tiny bit much of it in this book.

If you like climbing, action and a juicy book to read, then you have got to read Peak! It is about a boy climbing Mt. Everest and, If I were the author, I would change where he sees the corpses when he was at Camp 5 at the end of  the book because it’s gross and I don’t like blood because it makes me gag. If I was the main character in the book, I would have solved the problem of when Peak gets  arrested by not climbing the skyscraper at the wrong time and waiting until summer when there is less bad weather. If I had to pick one juicy word for the book, it would be extraordinary because it describes all the action in the book like Josh telling Peak he has to leave Mt. Everest and Peak seeing his family at the end. Peak is my favorite book and cherish the moments reading it that so you never forget it.

If you want to read a thrilling book where there is non-stop action, read Cryptid Hunters! When Grace and Marty’s parents, two wild researchers, apparently die in helicopter crash, Grace and Marty have to go live with their crazy and unusual uncle, Wolfe. After a couple of days, Wolfe has to go on an adventure to find a cryptid named the mokélém – bembe (cryptozoology is the study of animals such as Bigfoot and the Yeti who have not been proven scientifically). While Wolfe goes on a plane to drop Grace and Marty at their old boarding school, something goes terribly wrong and next thing Grace and Marty know, they were falling from the plane and into the jungle.  Do you think they will survive, be eaten alive, or be killed? Find out in Cryptid Hunters!!! I liked the book because it is thrilling and I couldn’t stop reading until the end. I wouldn’t change a thing about the book because it is SO good and there isn’t anything to fix. If I could change the way they solved a problem, I would have Grace and Marty stick together so no one gets hurt. If I could pick one JUICY word, I would pick thrilling because it is entertaining and you can’t stop reading until the end. If you like thrilling books with non-stop action, Cryptid Hunters is for YOU!!!

The Edge Book Review by Pablo

Title of Book: The Edge (Sequel to bestselling book Peak)

              The Edge is an interesting and exciting book with many different emotions. Peak is a teenage boy whose desire is to climb anything. He is invited to a Peace Climb in Afghanistan and things go terribly wrong.  I loved this book because you start reading this exciting and happy book and then all of a sudden you are struck by surprise events in the book. If I was the author of The Edge, I would change how many people die in the book because it is way too many. I would not change that all the people die even though it is sad, because it brings a lot of character to the book. If I was Peak, I would have solved the problem by listening to the wiser adults and drunken more water on the 110 Fahrenheit degree mountain. One juicy word to describe this book is Emotional because there is happiness in some parts and sadness in others. I would recommend this book to the readers that love exciting adventures. If you would like to buy the book, click on the link above and Happy Reading!!!!

If you want to read a fabulous and exciting book filled with detail, adventure, and of course mountaineering, Peak is the book for you. The book is about a boy who has to climb Mt. Everest before he turns 13 years old so his dad’s company does well. I liked the book because I love a book filled with detail and adventure just like Peak. I also love how the book had a twist and how the book made you feel like you were on Mt. Everest. Even though the book was excellent, if I was the author, I would have had Peak’s dad help him escape from The Juvenile Detention Center and have the police look for them as they climbed Everest. If I was Peak, I would have solved the problem by climbing the mountain by myself with the characters that didn’t want me to leave the mountain. One good word for Peak is detailed because the book describes everything in amazing detail. READ Peak and you will feel like you are climbing MT. EVEREST!

            Peak is a wonderful book for anyone who likes adventure. My friend is reviewing the same book, so don’t forget to check out his blog. The book is named after Peak, the main character. Peak is climbing Mt Everest because he had two choices, he goes to juvenile detention or live with his long lost father. I liked the book because it has adventure. If I were the author, I would not change anything about the book. If I were Peak, I would have probably not made the summit because I am not a very good climber. The one juicy word is danger because there are snow storms and you can freeze to death. So, read Peak because you will feel like you are in the book climbing with them.
