I read this book for my 5th grade battle of the books, and have read it many times since! It is such an interesting perspective on the old fairy tale of Rumpelstiltskin. All that "Rump" knows is the first half of his name, and he will only be freed from his curse if he can find out what the other half of his name is!

This book is a really interesting story about race in a southern town. It can be quite a sad story, but it is a good read! I would recommend it for older middle school up into high school.

Malala is such a brave and encouraging figure you sometimes forget it is a true story. Her passion for equal education for girls is really amazing, and this book is all about her journey fighting the Taliban with education.

I love these books! They leave you hanging on to every word; you won't want to put it down. If you love mystery and adventure, you will really like these books!

This book is so creative and fun! I love all the puzzles, and solving them right along side the characters makes reading this book an adventure.

I love all of the books in this series, and this one did not disappoint! With characters from the first book coming back to play again, along with a new round of challengers, any mystery/code lover will enjoy these books!
