Artemis Fowl
By Eoin Colfer
Boy genius Artemis Fowl doesn’t need to commit robbery: his family is one of the richest in the United Kingdom. Artemis turns to a life of crime simply to test his wits. But does he go to far when he steals from the Fairies, who work very hard to keep their existence secret from humans? With the help of his bodyguard, Butler, and Butler’s sister, Juliet, Artemis must outwit the Fairies or see his home, and possibly his life, destroyed. This book is the first in an exciting series packed with action, crime, and wonderful characters.
-Ms. McConnel
Artemis Fowl is a criminal mastermind, a genius, and he’s 12. Combining his 12 year old and adult personalities becomes very dangerous and at the same time useful. With the still childish belief in fairies he decides to capture one for its gold and simply to test his own genius. With the size of his intellect it isn’t long before a fairy, Captain Holly Short, is his prisoner. He soon learns that these aren’t your once upon a time kind of fairies but a super advanced race that means business. When Holly’s comrades come to save her everything doesn’t go quite as either side had planned.I have to admit, when I read the back and saw that it was another book about fairies, I wasn’t that excited. It wasn’t 20 pages before I didn’t want to put the book down. Yes, there are still fairies in the book but the way the author describes them I completely forget that he is talking about fairies. There is hardly a dull second throughout the book. There is always a new turn or twist to be had. The setting, characters, and actions are described so well I felt like I was watching a movie. Overall I would definitely recommend this book to fairy-tale lovers and sci-fi readers alike.

Dealing with Dragons
Dealing with Dragons
By Patricia C. Wrede
Princess Cimorene is anything but a typical princess: she won’t learn dancing, embroidery or etiquette, but she LOVES fencing, cooking, and juggling, all of which are not the proper activities for a princess, according to her parents. Finally, her parents go too far, and try to force her to marry a prince from a near-by kingdom. Cimorene takes her fate into her own hands and heads off to find the fierce dragons on the outskirts of the kingdom, thinking that if she is eaten, she won’t have to be married. Instead of frying her for dinner, the dragons allow her to live with them as their cook. This wonderful book is the first in a series of four, providing ample time for Cimorene to keep doing exactly what isn’t proper.

Inkheart
Inkheart
by Cornelia Funke
This book is a thrilling adventure about a 12-year-old girl named Meggie who becomes entwined in a story much like the ones she reads. Meggie lives a fairly regular life with her dad who restores books, when one night a strange man named Dustfinger appears on their doorstep. After her dad talks with the man he tells her that they are going to her great aunt's house. Dustfinger goes with them and while they are there her father is kidnapped. The next day, Dustfinger leads them to where he says her father was taken. It turns out to be a trap. Meggie is locked in the same cell as her father, and on that night she discovers that nine years earlier her father was reading aloud when Dustfinger and the villains who are responsible for their confinement appeared. Somehow, the characters came out of the book. For every character taken out of a book, something must go in. On that night so many years ago, Meggie's mother was trapped in the story that started the wild adventure that would change Meggie's life forever.I would say that overall Inkheart is a good novel. One of the big issues that I disliked was the length of the book. It had a good beginning and a great end, but the middle wasn't the best. Despite this, whenever there was an interesting part, the event seemed to jump right off the page. The characters in the book were well-developed and made you feel like they were real people. The ending was hands down the best part, with suspense and unseen events at every turn. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to get lost in a story full of adventure.

Inkspell
Inkspell
by Cornelia Funke
Even though a year has passed, Meggie still can't keep "Inkheart" off her mind. Dustfinger, who's been desperately searching for a way to get back into the book, has finally found a solution with a man who says he can read him back in. When this magical story teller intentionally leaves Farid, Dustfinger's apprentice, out of his promise, Farid goes in search of Meggie. With the opportunity in front of her, Meggie reads Farid and herself into the book with Orpheus's words. When that same crafty story teller, along with Basta and Mortola show up in Elinor's front porch, he reads Basta, Mortola, Resa, and Mo into the story, leaving him and a cumbersome thug alone with Elinor and Darius. while in the story, Mo is forced to take on a new role as the Bluejay. As all these newcomers to the story adapt and entwine themselves within the book, they discover that the story has derailed from its original track and has evolved in ways none of them could have imagined.Overall, I perceived "Inkspell" to be a thrilling and enticing adventure. I really liked how each chapter started with an excerpt from another story that still deals with the events of the chapter. The book is fairly long but is keeps you captivated with ever-changing scenes and plot events. I really liked how you got to see and understand more about the characters. Lastly, I thought the ending was adequate but it left me thirsting for the next book in the series.

Inkdeath
Inkdeath
by Cornelia Funke
Mo and his family have been living on a deserted farm ever since they escaped the Castle of Night, to hide from Adderhead. For them life is peaceful, but just about every night Mo is called by his fellow robbers to go and help a defenseless village as the Bluejay. His wife Resa is desperate for a way back to the real world, so she must sink as low as asking Orpheus, a man who almost killed Mo, to write her family back. He agrees, but only if Mo summons the White Women, Death's daughters, so he can talk with them. In a graveyard, Mo calls them. One by one they appear around him, and just like that he disappears in the midst of their shadowy bodies."Inkdeath" has definitely been my favorite book in the entire trilogy. Like the other two, it is a fairly long book, but it never drops your attention. There was not a dull moment in this story. Every time you think the story might be cooling down, a dramatic change pops out of nowhere that you would never have seen coming. Have you ever read a book that is so predictable that you fall asleep while reading? Well, "Inkdeath" will sure wake you up with all of its exciting twists and turns. All of the characters are described in such detail that they practically jump off of the page. The only bad part about this book was when I had to close the cover for the last time. I would definitely recommend "Inkdeath" to anyone who wants to dive into a thrilling story.

Everlost
EVERLOST
by Neal Shusterman
What if you woke up only to find out you were dead? Neal and Allie are both killed when the separate cars they are driving in collide head on. After nine months they wake up still wearing the clothes they were killed in and the chocolate candy Neal was eating smeared, eternally, all over his face. While they feel that nothing about themselves has changed they soon realize they no longer have to breathe, eat, or sleep. They also no longer feel pain except in their hearts and yearn for the lives they lost and the family and friends they loved. It seems like they are stuck between life and death like other kids in Everlost and if they are not careful they will sink into the ground and wind up in the center of the Earth to be lost forever. This book is a wonderful read from an author who has a great imagination and the talent to put his ideas into words.

Once Upon a Marigold
By Jean Ferris
Marigold is a princess, but she’s miserable because of a curse from her childhood. Christian is a runaway living in the forest with a troll for a father. Against all odds, these two form a friendship which will transform the lives of everyone in the kingdom. Written like a fairy tale, this is definitely not like any fairy tale you have ever read before. Sure there are trolls, evil queens, and even the tooth fairy, but there are also lots of dogs, flying machines, and twist after twist. This is an enjoyable read, and the characters are incredibly real.

This is a totally weird book. If you like fantasy that is completely crazy you will like this book. Jo, was left in a laundry room with a note pinned to her blanket which read, "This is Jo.

This is a DANGEROUS baby".And she is.The Order of Odd-Fish is an organization of knights whose main occupation is compiling disreputable and disputed facts for an encyclopedia which will never be written or published. Wasting time in creative ways, collecting facts, is an art form in Eldritch City and the more "dithering" done in the attempt to compile questionable "facts", the greater a Knight of the Order of Odd-Fish is considered to be. Jo lives in the same house as this crazy organization.Eldritch City, itself, is a strange and wonderful place with talking three-foot-tall cockroach butlers, centipede journalists, and flying armored ostriches to name only a few of the weird inhabitants.

Alcatraz Smedry vs. the Evil Librarians
Alcatraz Smedry vs. the Evil Librarians
by Brandon Sanderson
This was a really funny book. It has some dark parts, but for the most part it's funny. The main character, Alcatraz (he thought his parents must've had a twisted sense of humor, and who could blame him, named after the most infamous prison?), has a "talent" for breaking everything he touches, even chickens! He has gone through about 27 foster families, but his life gets turned around on his 13th birthday when he gets a present from his parents. Naturally, he doesn't trust it at first-after all, his parents couldn't know where he was living all this time.When he opens the present, he finds a bag of sand. Then, someone knocks on the door. WHen he opens it, an old man who claims to be his grandfather comes in. Soon Alcatraz finds out almost everything he believed is a lie, such as only three continents, talking dinosaurs, Oculators and evil librarians. Also, the world is basically split into two types of places: Hushlands and Freelands. This is a great book, and I reccomend reading this and its sequel.

Breaking Dawn
Breaking Dawn
by Stephanie Meyer
"Breaking Dawn" is the last book of the Twilight series. It’s about how Bella and Edward's wedding went and how she ends up, well, pregnant. It’s confusing because in the beginning it was Bella’s point of view and then around chapter four or five it’s Jacobs’s point of view. But then it switches back to Bella’s point of view. After Bella found out she was pregnant, she was horrified, and so was Edward. After a week, Bella was really sick and she almost died by keeping the baby. Then, after two weeks, she had the baby, and almost died. But, if it wasn’t for Edward, she would have. Read the book to find out more!

See, her sister in law packed her bag. She thought maybe, just in case, because you know they were on their honeymoon. So she took the test and the test can out positive. So when Edward arrived from hunting she told him and he kind of went in total shock. Because vampires were not suppose to have babies. But at the end of the book she almost died while having the baby but her Edward saved her. You have to read the book to find out what happen after Edward went in total shock.

Tuck Everlasting
Tuck Everlasting
by Natalie Babbitt
"Tuck Everlasting" is a book about a family with a huge secret and a girl named Winnie. The family with the secret is the Tuck family. Winnie is a young girl who lives in a village called Tree Gap and her family has lived in the same house for a very long time. Winnie is used to staying inside her gate at her house. Beside her house is a forest that her family owns which contains a secret that nobody in her family knows about. Winnie has decided that she was going to run away. But the night before she does, a stranger comes and talks to her. The next morning she runs away into her forest. She hears a noise, it's Jesse Tuck, soon Mae Tuck is there too, and so is Miles. They decide to kidnap her and once they are far away they tell her their secret. But they don't know that a stranger is eavesdropping on them. The Tucks take Winnie back to their house and she spend the night, but many things go on before they get her home. The whole story is full of many more crazy things.I like this book because it's full of adventure. Lots of fairytale stuff goes on in this story and really crazy stuff that would never happen in real life. But this is a great book for anyone to read. Even some real life stuff goes on in this book, like when Winnie was kidnapped, and other dangerous stuff, but it's mostly fairy tale.

The book is about two boys that want to escape an orphanage that's like a prison. They head to a city that they think the orphanage owner won't find them. They meet this person that has a way to a magical realm. The boys want to find a tower that will lead them to their father.I think that this is a good book because it's got an interesting story line and amazing places. "Into the Mists" is a perfect book if there's nothing to read or do.
