Mattimeo

The third installment in the Redwall series, Mattimeo, is a fun, clever book in many ways. Brian Jacques once again sends his well-developed characters on a dangerous quest. The book centers on Mattimeo, son of the Redwall Warrior, and the adventure he and his friends embark on. The plot, however interesting and inventive it is in the beginning, grows dull as the story progresses. The middle of the book is filled with an adventureless travel that seems to exist solely to fill the book. However, readers will hang on to every word as the creatures of Redwall go on a hunt for riddles left by an old ruler. This is one reason why the book is so clever. The beginning and end have the reader glued to the page with their action and meaningful emotion. Mattimeo will leave fantasy readers wanting more.

Carter travels the world with his father, an Egyptologist. But when they go to London to visit Carter's sister, Sadie, their father disappears and and they find out that all the Egyptian Myths are real. Carter and Sadie set out on a perilous journey to find their father and stop the world from ending. I recommend this book to people who like fantasy because it has a lot of mythology and adventure.

Catching Fire
by: Suzanne Collins

Catching Fire the second book in the Hunger Games Trilogy is another action-packed fast moving novel by Suzanne Collins. From fighting to death in the arena to anticipating
President Snow's harsh decisions the reader has a hard time
putting the book down. This book also offers a unique
connection with the characters for the reader.
This is a great book that I would recommend to
 anybody looking for a good book.

Scat by Carl Hiaasen

      On his trip to the Black Vine Swamp, Nick hopes to see an endangered Floridian panther. But when a “wildfire” breaks out, the whole class has to retreat the wild swamp. Mrs. Starch, the most feared biology teacher, bravely goes back into the fiery swamp to search for a student’s asthma inhaler. The other two chaperones take the kids back to school but their biology teacher does not return. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes nature, realistic fiction, lots of emotion and a slight mystery. I love this book because it proves that anything is possible if you choose to believe so.

Ginger Pye

Ginger Pye is a great book written by Elenor Estes. The characters are very well-developed. It's won a well deserved Newbery Medal. I highly recommend it for young readers because they'll find it suspenseful.

Scat by Carl Hiaasen is a great read if you love nature, mystery, and adventure. Scat is another book relating to Florida's wildlife. It was one of my favorite reads because of the constant switching of characters. That part was what kept me reading. When reading it you must be careful because once you start you will not be able to stop!
