The Case of the Creepy Castle, Judy Katschke, 85 pages, February 6, 2011

I just finished reading the book The Case of the Creppy Castle by Judy Katschke.  I finished it on February 6, 2011 and it has 85 pages in it.  It's about two detectives named Mary Kate and Asley who are going to a haunted house called Creepy Castle for Halloween.  It's really fun, but then Tim, Samantha, and Patty dissapear!  It's up to Mary Kate and Ashley to find out where their friends went.
I liked this book because the character who turned out to be the culprit, wasn't expected.  For example, you didn't expect great-Grandma Olive to play a big role in this mystery, but she does!
I would recommend this book to kids 6-11.

The Case of Clue's Circus Culprit, Judy Katschke, 79 pages, February 5, 2011

I just finished reading a book called The Case of Clue's Circus Culprit by Judy Katschke.  I finished it on February 5, 2011 and it has 79 pages in it.  It's about two detectives named Mary Kate and Ashley who are trying to figure out who is causing all these horrible things to the circus...and their basset hound Clue.  But suspects are running out and Mary Kate and Ashley only have two days to solve this mystery!  Will they crack the case?
I liked this book because it just kept you guessing.  For example, when Gracie was crossed off the suspect list, you are sure it is Flip.  But then it turns out to be someone you totally don't expect!
I would recommend this book to girls 6-11.

Lily and the Creep, Nancy Rue, 124 pages, February 5, 2011

I just finished reading Lily and the Creep by Nancy Rue.  It has 124 pages in it and I finished it on February 5, 2011.  It's about a girl named Lily who is trying to get back at a boy named Shad for being so mean to her and her friends.  But the pranks they pull end up getting them in trouble.  But Lily's friends won't confess.  So Lily has to take all the punishment-staying after school with Shad for a week to work on a project.  Will Lily's friends ever confess?
I liked this book because at some times I got scared for Lily.  For example, when Lily and her friends were yelling at Shad during his basketball camp and calling him a baby, I was thinking "Uh-oh they're gonna get in trouble...".
I would recommend this book to girls 8+.

The Case of the Nutcracker Ballet, Megan Stine, 82 pages, February 2, 2011

I just finished reading The Case of the Nutcracker Ballet by Megan Stine.  I finished it on February 2, 2011 and it has 82 pages in it.  It's about these two twin sisters named Mary-Kate and Ashley who run their own detective agency.  They have to solve the case of their friends missing ballet slippers before the ballet recital the next night.  And even worse, now that Miranda can't find her lucky slippers, she's giving up her part as Clara to her understudy Becky!  Will Mary-Kate and Ashley be able to solve this mystery and get Miranda's part back?
I liked this book because it showed all the different possibilities of who could be the suspect that stole Miranda's slippers.  For example, even though Ariel seemed innocent, they still wrote her on the list because she had a good motive.
I would recommend this book to girls 6+.

Nate Saint, Janet and Geoff Benge, 200 pages, February 1, 2011

I just finished reading a book called Nate Saint by Janet and Geoff Benge on February 1, 2011.  The book has 200 pages in it.  It's about a missionary named Nate who travels to Ecuador to preach.  He loves flying in airplanes and being an airplane mechanic.  But after Nate's sister Rachel says that she wants to preach to the dangerous Auca tribe, Nate decides to help and risks his own life for the sake of others.
I liked this book because it shows how people need to put God and others before themselves.  For example, even though Nate died because he was killed by the Aucas, he still risked his life to share the Lord Jesus with them.
I would recommend this book to kids 10+.

The Angel Experiment, James Patterson, 422 pages, January 28, 2011

On January 28, 2011 I finished a book called The Angel Experiment by James Patterson.  It's about a girl named Max who was once a baby but was taken into a lab and turned into a human with wings.  She can fly.  But the whitecoats want to take Angel (the youngest) and use their Erasers (half man, half wolf,) to capture her.  Now it's up to Max and her friends to rescue Angel and discover who they truly are.
I liked this book because when a very crazy and exciting part is happening, it just gets even more crazier and exciting.  For example, when Max and the flock were rescuing Angel, they were thrown on a cart and captured by whitecoats.  If that isn't bad enough, they are taken to the courtyard to be attacked by Erasers!
I would recommend this book to preteens and teenagers who love action.

Lily Robbins M.D. (Medical Dabbler), Nancy Rue, 124 pages, January 27, 2011

I just finished reading Lily Robbins M.D. (Medical Dabbler) by Nancy Rue.  It has 124 pages in it and I finished it on January 27, 2011.  It's about a girl named Lily who wants to become a doctor after she helps a little boy in a car accident.  Lily starts checking out medical books from the library and watching ER and Emergency Trauma.  Lily has also changed the Girlz Only Group into a medical training program.  But after a few harsh words from some friends, Lily realizes that she needs to stop being so bossy to her friends...and God.
I likes this book because it showed true feelings of a girl and her best friend who are fighting.  For example, in the parking lot at the Acme grocery store, Reni shouts at Lily and gets really mad.  But the book also shows how the two girls make up and become friends again.
I would recommend this book to tween girls.
