The Ear The Eye And The Arm

     The Ear, the Eye, and the Arm is a science fiction book that takes place in Zimbabwe in 2194. I would suggest The Ear, the Eye, and the Arm anyone who likes fantasy or science fiction books because it has good description and has a lot of deep concepts about spiritual African traditions. It also has a lot of great characters, but the ending is a little bit choppy and seems rushed.

        It is about the children of the head of the police department, General Matsika. The children have not been allowed outside their yard for as long as they can remember, so they set off on a forbidden adventure in the city. They go missing, and General Matsika calls on the three detectives: Ear, Eye, and Arm. Their search takes them back in time and all over the city, but can they find the children in time?

     To find out read The Ear the Eye and the Arm.

The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick

     The Invention of Hugo Cabret is an amazing book about an orphan, Hugo, trying to survive in a Paris train station in the late nineteenth century. I would definitely suggest The Invention of Hugo Cabret to all; it has great characters and good descriptions that will have you wanting more. It is partly made up of charcoal drawings that help to really paint a picture in your head.

     Everything in Hugo’s world rotates around the automaton he found, but when the instructions to fix it are taken from him, his world is turned upside down, like the moving pictures he so loves.

     The Invention of Hugo Cabret is a must read, so you won’t be regretting it if you do, as it is a wonderful and heartwarming book.

Outliers by Malcom Gladwell

      One of the finest books I have ever read, I would suggest Outliers to anyone and everyone. In Outliers Malcom Gladwell finds patterns in everything from birth months of hockey players to birth years of great lawyers and their parents’ jobs. Backed by evidence in hundreds of studies, he breaks the myth that talent alone always brings you to the top, and shows you that your age, birth date and year, parents, and ancestry really do matter.
     Outliers teaches you the reason of Bill Gates’ success, how Asians are better at math, and even how an airline turned its safety record around. Outliers is very descriptive in explaining the concepts in such depth, with so many examples, that even if you disagreed with Malcom Gladwell’s ideas you would still have to like the book.
     So I would suggest you look up Outliers in your local library, buy it now on Amazon , or take a trip to the bookstore.

Magyk by Angie Sage

     Angie Sage has really crafted a masterpiece with the enchanting book Magyk. I would definitely suggest Magyk to anybody looking for a good book. It has good descriptions and a detailed plot that keeps you glued to the pages.

     Magyk is about the family of wizards called the Heaps. It all begins when their son, Septimus, is declared dead at birth, and is replaced by a baby girl, Jenna. They must defeat a great necromancer before he takes over the throne.

     Not only that, but can they discover who they really are in time? To explore the mythical world of the Heaps, I would suggest you read Magyk now.
