The 39 Clues

The 39 Clues (series); by all different awesome authors: This series (which currently I have not finished) is amazing!! They are by all different authors, some which I had heard of and loved and some I learned to like after reading the books. They are a really quick and easy read. If you like reading on vacation or when you're at the beach these books would be great.
Summary of the story: So this series is about Amy and Dan (brother and sister) who get involved in a life threatning game. Their parents are dead and they are taken care of by their mean old Aunt Beatrice, so they have nothing better to do. They have to find clues hidden all around the world by their ancient ancestors who are very famous. It is said that whoever gets all the clues will have the most power ever. So Amy and Dan are fighting a deadly game against their own family.

When You Reach Me

When You Reach Me; by Rebecca Stone: This book was pretty good. Maybe a little sad, although some parts were surprising. All the time travel made it confusing for me. But, the story itself was good. However, I wouldn't say it's my favorite book. Summary of the Story: The main girl starts to recieve strange notes at her door. The person does not say who they are, and they tell her to reply, writing all of the events that happened lately. The notes do not say who to give her letter to, though. The girl doesn't intend to respond to the notes, she already has other problems in her life, especially with friends. In the end she learns a lot and many surprising and sad things have happened to her.

The Lost Hero


The Lost Hero; by Rick Riordan: I thought it was totally AWESOME!!!!!! It's the sequel series to the Percy Jackson series. (So if you haven't already read Percy Jackson; then you might want to start with it.) It was very action packed, and intense. It was one of those books where you don't want to put it down. There were lots of new characters and more ideas and plots introduced. If you've read the first Percy Jackson and liked it; this book will take you on a much bigger adventure. I loved it!!!!

Summary of the Story: Jason suddenly wakes up on a school bus filled with kids he doesn't know. He doesn't know how he got there or anything at all, not even his own name. Turns out all the kids claim to know him and can tell him who he is, but the Coach has his suspicions. Jason and his 'friends', Leo and Piper turn out to all be demigods, and go on a mission that could either save the world or..... lead it to it's doom.
