The Clue Of The Tapping Heels
Nancy Drew Mystery Stories
By: Carolyn Keene
In book #16 Nancy goes to help Miss Carter, a retiered actress, who now breeds prize winning Persian cats. Nancy soon finds herself with a cat burgler, a mysterous tapper, and a neighbour threatening to get rid of the cats! She has to juggle the mystery and a lead part in the tap number in the school play. It's all you'd expect from a Nancy Drew Mystery.
Nancy Drew Mystery Stories are filled with mystery, suspense, and adventure. I like to see if I can figure the mystery out before Nancy and her friends. Nancy Drew is a curious girl who can't stay away from a good mystery. She loves adventure, she's a bit of a dare devil, and doesn't beleive in the super natural. Carson Drew is a famous lawyer and Nancy's Father. Like any Dad he gets very worried when one of Nancy's mysteries gets dangerous (but then, all of them get dangerous!). Sometimes he will be the one to give Nancy a mystery. Hannah Gruen is the Drews house keeper, and has been with them since Mrs. Drew died. She has become like a mother to Nancy. Bess Marvin and George Fayne are cousins and Nancy's best friends. Bess is cautious and not much for adventure, and George can't get enough. Lets not forget the football players Ned Nickerson(Nancy's boyfriend), Burt Eddleton, and Dave Evans(George's and Bess's boyfriends).
I like Nancy Drew Mystery Stories and I've been reading them since I was a kid but now I'm 14 and I still like figuring out the mystery, but now I can by the time I'm half way through the book. A mystery isn't much fun if it isn't a mystery anymore. It's a mystery for a younger reader. The book it self is a great story that includes the characters, but there are other books in the series to start with. The picturers in this one arn't as good as the ones in the other books.

Camp X
Camp X
Eric Walters
It's 1943 and with their Father fighting the Germans in Europe, and Mother working at an munitions factory, almost 12 year old George and his big brother Jack have most of the day to themselves. Their plan was to spend their summer doing Jack's paper route and inner-tubeing at the local lake until one night when they're running late and take a short cut to make it home in time, but stumble on camp X instead. They're told not to come back again, but when Jack's curiosity gets the better of him he drags George along to go back to the camp, and they both get involved with the mystery of camp X and the fight aginst the Germans. Jack is the courageous one, and isn't afraid of most anything (except mom). He loves adventure and a challenge. George not so much, he takes things more cautiously, and is happy to just sit back and mind his own business.
I would recomend this book, and think that Eric Walters is a great writer. It's filled with action, adventure, mystery, and suspense. I couldn'd put it down. The plot was easy to follow, but full of surprises. I liked it all the way through, and thought about how I would act in the position of the characters.

The War Of The Ember
The War Of The Ember
Guardians Of Ga'Hool (Series)
by: Kathryn Lasky
This Series is about 5 owls (a.k.a the band), and the journey to save not only them selfs, but the hole owl kingdom. This is the type of series that you don't have to read in order, but I would recommend it.
The War Of The Ember is the 14th and last book in the Series, so I can't tell you much about this book with out telling the ending of the other book, but I will see what I can do. In this book Nyra and the Striga join together the rule the owl kingdom. The Guardians must stop them, but there is rumor that they have the book of Kreeth and plane to bring back hagsfiends from hagsmire itself! To stop this from happening the guardians team up with all the other animals, gadfeathers, Kraals, polar bears, green-owls, puffins, seagulls, dire wolves, and crows! This is the war to end the war!
This is a great book/Series for kids and teens (and grown up that are a kid a heart), but characters do die and there are battles. Still, my mother loves Twilight's battle chants. The series is full of excitement and adventure. I recommend this book/Series.

The outsiders
The Outsiders
by: S.E Hinton
This book is Ponyboy' s story. A story is about a smart "wimp" who is part of the greaser gang. When he and his friend Johnny get jumped by the Socs a rivial gang he kills Bob in self-defense. This causes ponyboy to start thinking diffrently about his life and the pressures at home start getting to him. Can Ponyboy handle seeing people die on top of the trouble at home. I can't tell you any more with out giving away this fast paced book.
I should warn you that Bob is not the only person the died in this book, and it is not for the weak of heart. Still it is a great book with a great meaning. It brings you in side the story of a gang, and how a few friends can be closer then family. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and had trouble putting it down!
-Word smith
This book is awsome for kids of all ages to read as long as their at least in grade 8. S.E. Hintion did a much better job than one of his other books: That was then, This is now. The action was so good both me and Word Smith had trubble putting it down despite the fact that this was a book that we had to read with ther rest of the class. I would recemend reading this book even if it isn't for school work if you already havent read it.

Family Affairs: Seacrets of my hollywood life
Family Affairs: Secreats of my hollywood life series
BY:Jen Calonita
This series is sbout a teenag girl named katelen Brook who is a actress. She was on a tv show called Family Affairs. She tells her story firs hand as the events happen to her. The searies isn't finished an there is more books in this series to come. It is full of action and adventure. Katlen even tells us a few hollwood secreats. there is usally one secret per chapter.
This book series is really good. I would get one of the books and read it in two days! That isn't saying much for me but the books are big at least 250 pages. i enjoyed all the storys that she has out so far and they are amazing plotlines. For example a evil actress bent on distroying katlen's acting carrrer. This book is shure to keep the tween reader intrested.

That was then, This is now
That was Then, This is Now
Auther: S.E. Hintin
This book was written by the same author who wrote The Outsiders. It is about a boy named Bryon who is a pool huslure and runs with the wrong crowd. It has some of the old characters from The Outsiders such as the shepperd gang and Ponyboy, Curtis. Although they aren't talked about alot though. Bryon faces a problem when he finds himself growing up and changing while his closest friend Mark wants to stay the same. It deals not so much with gangs this time but has to do with more Bryon's personal life.
I personally think that the book was good in the beginning. But as I read the book I found the the book got worse not better. There was no real plotline (not much was happening), until the end and that got resolved within the next 40 pages. Yes the book did give a really good discription of Bryon and his feelings, but there wasn't enough action to keep me interested for more than 10 pages. It took me 5 days to read this book and it wa only 158 pages. So if you know me that really says somthing because i usually read at least 50 pages an hour if the book is good. Personally i think he did a better job with the Outsiders. and should have used a little more action.
