Updates, Gordon Korman,

Sorry i haven't posted in a REALLY long time, but I've been pretty busy. There are a bunch of new books I've read, but unfortunately I cannot do a review on all of them. Below is the list of my recent readings:
Deep and Dark and Dangerous- Ghost story that was sorta spooky but really good
Wings- A Fairy Tale- Interesting plot line, but a very fantastic book. It's about fairies.
Eleven- Pretty good, about a 11 year old girls' life.
Twelve- The continuation of the girl's life when she's twelve.
Thirteen- The same series, about the girl when she's thirteen.
Access Denied[and other eight grade error messages]- Drama that goes on in 8th grade
The Fifth Of March- Good, interesting historical fiction about the Boston Massacre.
Tuck Everlasting- Interesting plot line, sorta, but pretty boring and short.
Witch & Wizard- Very good series about magic in the real world. I may do a post as the rest come out and I am able to read them.
The Book Thief- Great Historical Fiction book. Set in Germany during WWII and narrated by death. I would highly recommend it, unless you hate great loss.
Breathe, A Ghost Story- Kinda strange and creepy. Don't read if you're the type who freaks out.

Gordon Korman
He is a really great author and I wanted to point out two books of interest that just came out by him. The first is The Medusa Plot. It is the first book in the continuation of 39 clues series, and it's really good. I'll put my review on the 39 Clues tab so it'll be there, long with he rest of the new series

The next new read from Gordon Korman is the TITANIC Trilogy. In order to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Titanic's horrific sinking he wrote this new trilogy. It follows four kids who end up on the Titanic's maiden voyage. Trouble seems to follow them on board the ship, and that's before the events of the fateful crash bring us to the legendary events of April 15th. It's well written and interesting once you get past the beginning. I would recommend it, especially if you're interested in the Titanic.

Kidnapped

I've been reading this pretty good trilogy called "Kidnapped" by; Gordon Korman. It is about Meg and Aiden Falconer. Their parents were accused by the FBI of helping terrorists. They are sent to prison and their children are sent to a juliviel detention center. They escape and are on the run from the FBI for months. Finally their parents are found not guilty and life is suppose to go back to normal. Book one, The Abduction, shows how much difficulty Aiden and Meg have fitting back into society after their difficulties with the law, and how many of their peers and the adults around them still suspect the entire family of being criminals and traitors. But that isn't the worst they must deal with. Somebody is out to kidnap the Falconer kids, and make the family pay for their 'criminal' past. The kidnappers succeed in getting Meg and it is up to the FBI and Aiden to find her.Where is Meg Falconer?
Everybody wants to know. Her brother Aiden, who saw her kidnapped and is now trying to track her down, wants to know. The FBI, led by the very serious Agent Harris, wants to know. Her parents, who fear their pasts have something to do with why Meg was taken, want to know. Even Meg's kidnappers want to know. Because even though they caught her once, that doesn't mean they can keep a hold of her. . . . After a few failures Aiden thinks it is up to him to save Meg. He runs away to try and rescue his sister only to be arrested for a crime he didn't commit. Agent Harris picks him up only to be caught in a blizzard. Meanwhile Meg escapes from her captors only to be caught in the same blizzard. Cold, hurt, hungry and sad she is alone in the wilderness but it doesn't stop her. After sending a signal she tredges on only to be recaptured by her kidnappers. What happens next is a twist so unexpected that is will captivate you until the end. AS the real conspiracy is revealed you find out the truth behind the ruthless people who will stop at nothing to destroy the Falconers.

39 Clues Book 8

The 8th book in the 39 Clues series has came out and it is great. Amy and Dan head to China to find the next clue. Dan and Amy come to a disagreement about who their parents really were and Dan runs away is the largest country in the world. However Dan isn't even away for 20 minutes when one of his cousins kidnaps him. Meanwhile Nellie and Amy search all around Bejing for Dan. Dan in the meantime has been taken in by his pop-star cousin Johna Wizard. While pretending to search for Amy the Wizards take advantage of him. At the great Wall Of China Amy finds the symbol for grace, her grandmother's name. The clue she finds leads her to Tibet. When Cora Wizard the head of the Janus branch meets her son in China she tells Dan he is a Janus. Knowing she is lying Dan runs away revealing his true a identity. After hearing a report on CNN he hitchhikes on trains to Tibet where he is finally reunited with his sister. Nellie Gomez, their au pair, use unknown connections to get them on their way. What happened next is the climax of the story. The suspense literally could not be higher than it is at the end of the book. It is a great book and I would recommend the whole series.
