Big Game is an awesome book and a big deal. I like the book because it’s full of suspense, action, and twists to the plot. If I could change something about the book, it would be that Chief Hoeneker was only a little mad when Teddy joined the investigation because it led to some dumb hatred between them. If I was a character in the book, I would be Teddy and I would have solved the problem by finding out who was helping the “poacher” trying to get the rhino horns. If I could pick one juicy word to describe Big Game, it would be suspense because the book keeps you on the edge of your seat all the way through. Big Game was definitely an amazing book, and I hope you will read it too!

            Thomas can’t remember his last name, parents, home, life, or age when he wakes up in a mysterious place where there are only boys called Gladers. They are trapped in a place that they call the Glade, and there are doors that they have to enter to get to the Maze, which is unsolvable and unfortunately, the only way to get home. I loved The Maze Runner because of the suspense and thrill. If I were the author, I wouldn’t change any part of this book because it was all so perfectly written, with sadness at just the right times and thrill in every corner. If I were Thomas, I would have solved the problem the same way he did because he solved the problem perfectly, even with the sorrow included. A juicy word I would use to describe this book is enigma because it is the perfect combination of the words “thriller” and “mysterious”.  If you love books that have you weeping on your knees but can’t stop turning pages, The Maze Runner is the book for you.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the second book of the Harry Potter series, involves magic and mystery in the best way. The valiant Harry Potter is the main character, along with his friends Ronald (Ron) Weasley and Hermione Granger. Danger lurks around Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and Harry has to act because if he doesn’t, things could get really serious and dangerous. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets was very enjoyable and I simply adored it. The fact that I love mystery stories really helped me enjoy the book, but I think anyone would like it. I think Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets can’t be changed in anyway, because if somebody changed it, the mystery could be taken away. If I was a character from the book and had to solve the problem that children were turning in to stone, I would have tried to pay attention, very careful attention, to the things around me. I would do research and ask people questions to help me find out the answer. A little similar to what Harry Potter did. If I had to pick one word to describe Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets, it would be thriller because the book is very mysterious and exciting all at the same time. Overall, I really enjoyed reading the incredible Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and really recommend it to ages eight up.

            Video gamer Tom Raines is back and World War lll continues.  In his 2^nd year at the Pentagonal Spire, he falls in love with Medusa, the strongest soldier in the world; the only problem is that she is on the enemy’s side.  He is forced to make a difficult choice between his country and Medusa.  I loved this book because of the loads of adventure, mystery, and romance throughout the story.  One is kept on the edge of his or her seat throughout this fast paced book filled with suspense.  If I were the author, I wouldn’t change anything even though the reader feels heartbroken that Tom has to make such a painful choice between his country and his love; the story feels right because of this impossible decision.  If I were a character in Vortex, I would do nothing different because Tom is the perfect mix of irresponsible, rebellious, sloppy teenager and young man making tough adult choices.  If I had to pick a word to describe this book, it would be enigma because each page is filled with mystery and the reader is tempted to read on.  I whole heartedly recommend Vortex to you because it is a great book for boys and girls who love adventure and mystery.

            It’s World War lll.  Tom Raines, a precocious and troubled 14 year old video gamer who is usually unsure whether he will sleep in a comfy hotel bed or on a grimy bench in a train station, gets an opportunity of a lifetime - to train at the Pentagon Spire to become a soldier in the war.  I absolutely loved Insignia because of the persistent feeling of adventure, mystery, and doom mixed with a snippet of romance.  If I were the author, I would not change one thing because the eloquent prose pulled me into the book and made it difficult to stop reading while the fast paced story line kept me at the edge of my seat.  If I were a character in the book, I wouldn’t change a thing because the characters are each imperfect in exactly the right way.  If I had to pick one word to describe the book, it would be suspense because that word illustrates the perpetual feeling in the air at the Pentagon Spire.  I heartily recommend Insignia to you because it is a downright fabulous read!  If you want to read another book like this, read Vortex, Insignia’s sequel.
