This was a pretty good read for me, but then again, I do like Roald Dahl books. Sophie's just an ordinary girl in an ordinary orphanage. But, she can't go to sleep. She lies awake, and suddenly sees something pretty strange out the window--a giant man carrying a suitcase that looks like a trumpet. Sophie tries to hide from this monster, but is unable to, and he picks her up and runs with her until they reach a large cave. That's when everything begins. Sophie is told that she cannot leave the cave, because the BFG's existence must remain unknown. Plus, if she leaves, other monsters might eat her up. The BFG is a kind giant that collects children's dreams and destroys the bad ones, giving the good ones to the children. Later on, Sophie and the BFG vow to take out all the monsters that eat all the young children that they see. Will this be possible? Read this classic to find out!

I love the Nick and Tesla series, because they always include something that you can do yourself. This book is full of fun science and action! In this story, Nick and Tesla, two 11-year old siblings, are given over to their Uncle Newt, when their parents suddenly vanish. Uncle Newt is an inventor, and invents tons of different tools and gadgets (top-secret of course!!). Soon, Nick and Tesla started to make inventions of their own, and of course, the book also comes with step-by-step instructions on how to build different gadgets as well! For me, this book is one of the most fun ways to learn science!

It really depends on how busy they are.

I don't know if this is possible, but if it is, adding the 2017 Nat Geo Almanac to the prize list would be great!

Celie's a princess living in a magical castle called 'Castle Glower'. Of course, her parents are King and Queen. Now, why is this 'TUESDAY's' at the Castle? Well, because on Tuesday's, the castle changes its floor plan, whether it be removing a room, adding a wing, etc. It's a good thing that Celie maps out all the changes, because the castle soon gets ambushed, and her mother and father, along with her oldest brother, all go missing. It's up to Celie to be able to save the kingdom, but will she do so in time?

I really enjoyed this book. This is a sequel to The Girl Who Could Fly, and it was definitely filled with action on nearly every page. Conrad Harrington III is gifted with knowledge, even though he just wants to be a normal kid and live a normal life. His father was just elected the president of the United States, and suspicious disasters start to happen all over the world. Can Conrad and all the other exceptional children help to prevent more terrible disasters from happening and to help save the world? Find out in this action-packed novel, The Boy Who Knew Everything.

This was definitely a really good read, and I would recommend it to anyone at all, any age. I received this book as a prize from last year's summer reading program. This is a book filled with poems to tell a story. A story of a young black girl who was born in Columbus, Ohio during the Civil Rights movement. According to the story, 'A country caught/Between Black and White.' This book is, essentially, an autobiography of a young girl growing up during the Civil Rights Movement, and how she finds her place, 'that's caught between Black and White.' Every poem is a reminder of the differences that America had in the past, and how it has changed drastically. Read this touching book to find out what happens!

I would love to win this book, because I love both mysteries, and building different gadgets that are not that difficult to self-build. Plus, I am interested in being an engineer, or something in the science field, when I grow up. I love the Nick and Tesla series, and I think that this would be a wonderful addition for me to read!

I personally love all National Geographic books. They are always filled with fun and interesting facts, and this book is no exception! In this story, there are a lot of fun games and activities, along with lots of information about your brain and senses. There are a lot of facts about what your brain can do, and how it does those things. I would definitely recommend this book to anybody, (even adults!), and I would love to read it over and over again!

This was a good read for me. Ivy is a new girl in Bean's neighborhood. However, as soon as Bean and Ivy met, they knew they couldn't be friends with each other, and even before that. Every action that Bean did seemed to counteract Ivy's actions. Ivy was the kind of girl that's 'prim and proper', and Bean loves to stomp in puddles, smash rocks to find gold, etc. Bean decides that she wants to play a joke on her sister, Nancy. What will happen to Nancy? And how will it affect Bean and Ivy's relationship? Read this wonderful book full of humor and delightful moments!
