The Queen of Attolia

The Queen of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


The sequel to "The Thief". Mystery, suspense, and intrigue. What a book! The first chapter grabs you and you never breathe until the last sentence. FABULOUS! I have fallen for Gen and I can't wait to read "King of Attolia" to find out what happens next!

Countdown

Countdown by Deborah Wiles

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This is a brand-new trilogy and I am loving it already. Today you go through fire drills and tornado drills at school. Imagine if you also had drill that taught you how to survive a nuclear war. It happened - not that long ago. How would you handle it?

The Boy Who Invented T.V.

Frindle by Andrew Clements


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Have you ever wondered who gets to decide what words are in the dictionary? I mean, who decides that a word means a certain thing. These are things that Nick wonders about - and then he comes up with an idea - he could make a word up and see if it catches on.
