The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan (The Heroes of Olympus: Series Bk. 1)

This book is the first book in Rick Riordan's Roman series. It is about three kids named Jason, Leo,and Piper. In this book they have a very interesting adventure to get back Jason's memories and mostly just find out who they really are. They all go to school at Wilderness School that is for "bad kids". I thought this book was really good and I would defiantly recommend it to others that like mystery, laughs, and adventure.

And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie

This is a really great and unique book. The story is surely one you’ll never forget. There were eight people invited to an island and two people were the workers. They were all asked to come by an unknown person, Mr.Owen. They thought that he and his wife were rich because it was told that a millionaire bought the island and made the mansion. Unfortunately they were wrong and they were wrong about his plans too. In each bedroom there is a children’s nursery rhyme. What the guests didn’t know is that one by one they would be killed guided by the nursery rhyme. All they know is the murderer is one of them. Stuck on island with no way out, they are doomed to face their fate. Sadly they won’t ever know who was the person that had killed them all. One main reason why I enjoyed this book is because Agatha Christie doesn’t tell you who the murderer was. You’ll need to be smart enough to figure it out yourself. If you think you are clever enough to find out the motive and who the murderer is, then I strongly recommend this book.

As Lemony must leave to a distant ghost town to be an apprentice in a mysterious organization. He is supposed to work with an arrogant mentor named S. Theodora Markson to solve the mystery of the Bombinating Beast. While Lemony goes through the sleepy town of Stain'd-by-the-Sea he is faced with many questions.How could a woman say something was stolen even though it was not hers? Why is the Bombinating Beast so important? Who can you trust? Lemony soon becomes friends with a girl Named Moxie. Read as Lemony and Moxie try to solve the mystery. This book is well written and full of mystery. Endless questions in the book. But are these all the wrong questions. Should you be asking, Who could it be a this hour?

Runny Babbit: A Billy Sook by Shel Silverstein

Runny Babbit is a very good book. When you read this book "You'll be talkin' Runny Babbit talk, just like mim and he". That's what Shel Silverstein wrote down in the book, pretty weird how Runny speaks; it will be pretty easy to read but entertaining that's why you should get this book.
