In the novel, __The End__, by Lemony Snicket, the Buldilaires are stranded on an island with Count Olaf and a bunch of other islanders. Also the Buldilaires still try to figure out how to solve the big mystery that has caused all their tragedy.

One, the adventure and the bravery and excitement the book has. Second, Lemony made it so when it got so exciting, you’ll hold your breath. For example, when the Buldilaires were looking through the big book of the island’s history, they all thought it was impossible, but Ishamal came through the secret door of the apple tree and told them that was their mother’s handwriting in the book. Whatever kind of books you like, I would recommend the series and this book for people who love mysteries and adventures.

__My Side of the Mountain__, written by Jean Craighead George, is an exciting book that takes place in the Catskill Mountains. Sam is a boy who runs away from home and is now living in the Catskill Mountains. Sam experiences dangerous and scary things like climbing an almost vertical mountain to steal a baby hawk to use for hunting. He gradually becomes ten times more courageous than before he ran away. Find out how he deals with the harsh weather that nature throws at him. Watch how he comes more experienced in anything and everything that has to do with survival. __My Side of the Mountain__ is my favorite book. One of the reasons it’s one of my favorite books is because the author explains how to make deer hide and use it for clothes and warmth. Also, the author tells you how to make great traps. He digs a ditch and puts leaves on top of it. When a deer or any other animal walks on top of it, the animal falls in the ditch and gets trapped. He describes another trap which is made by a stick and a large log. The stick is tied to a piece of food so when the animal takes the food, the log crushes the animal. My most favorite part of the book is when Sam steals a baby hawk from its nest. If you like survival books with action and adventure, then you will love __My Side of the Mountain__.

Oath Breaker

__Oath Breaker__ was written by Michelle Paver, which takes place six thousand years ago. Torak is the main character who wants to kill Thiazzi, because Thiazzi killed Bale, Torak’s kinsman. Some of the clans want to kill him, so he must avoid traps set out for him, but nothing will get in Torak’s way, so he won’t stop for anything.

__Oath Breaker__, the fifth book of six in a series called __The Chronicles of Ancient Darkness__, is so far my favorite book. When Torak’s best friend, Bale, is pushed off a cliff, Torak wants revenge. Torak travels to the deep forest, where Thiazzi, the Soul-Eater, is at his strongest. The clans in the forest capture him and don’t believe his “theory” that the Soul-Eater is in the forest. Torak proves it to them by asking them about the fire. If you like books about adventure, treachery, and betrayal then read this series! BL-4.7 AR pts.-8.0

Wolf Brother, by Michelle Paver, takes place six thousand years ago. The main character is a twelve year old boy named Torak. He comes from the Wolf Clan so he can talk wolf. But, he gets captured by the Raven Clan. So, he makes a deal to fight with Hord, who wants to be the clan leader, to be freed if he wins. But, Renn a girl in the Raven Clan, helps him escape because he’s the only one that can give his heart’s blood to the World Spirit. This is the only way to kill the demon bear. So, Torak, Wolf, and Renn all travel to the World Spirit to save the forest from the demon bear. Torak gives his hearts blood to the World Spirit and the World Spirit in return cover Hord and the demon bear with snow.

This book is a must read, one reason why this is a must read is because all throughout the book it is exciting. Torak’s dad gets killed by the demon bear, leaving Torak all alone in the forest. Not knowing how to do anything. I like this book because Hord helps create the demon bear. Hord gives a baby cub to a crippled wanderer who creates the demon bear. Hord tries to kill Torak. Hord wants to open up Torak take out his heart and give it to the World Spirit. If you like happy endings, action throughout, and mystery this book is recommended.

 *  __Sisters Grimm The Inside Story__, by Michael Buckley, takes place in __The Book Of Everafter__. Sabrina is the main character, a strong 7th grader, who wants to find Mirror and save her baby brother. But, they can't control which story they step into. So, they use the magical ball of yarn to get through the stories faster. But, when they find Mirror it's too late because he is already taking over the baby's body. So, Sabrina tries to pull Mirror out. Will Sabrina capture Mirror or will Mirror find a body to take over? **
 *  __Sisters Grimm The Inside Story__ is a great book. To begin with, the author does a great job describing the characters. When the author describes how Mirror looks he says Mirror is a bald, short, pale man. He has rosy, red cheeks and wears a big black tux. In addition, I like how the author makes all the story book characters really afraid of "The Editor." When Sabrina and her sister don't go by the story line the story book characters get very scared of the Editor because he might come and revise them. Finally, The book is very funny. Since Sabrina and Puck are destine to get married Puck drives her insane and says at the wedding they're going to use the Headless Horseman's head as the center piece. I would recommend this book to people that enjoy the Percy Jackson series. **

Spirit Walker, by Michelle Paver, takes place 6,000 years ago. Torak is the main character who wants to cure the sickness that the Soul Eaters have given to tribes. Soul Eaters are humans that have been haunted to be changed into demons. But, many Soul Eaters try to stop Torak. So, Torak goes to the Seal Islands and find out things he shouldn’t. But, a hunter (Killer whale) is also changed into a Soul Eater. So, Torak has to worry about another danger because of this. Finally, Torak finds how to cure the sickness.

I loved the book Spirit Walker. One reason why I loved this book is because at the end of each chapter it left you wondering about what would happen next. One time Torak falls into a fish trap and is drowning and it’s the end of the chapter. I like this book because it also has a lot of detail. When I talked about Torak getting stuck in the fish net it wasn’t that exciting but in the book it explains flashbacks, his feelings, and how his pack brother Wolf would survive without him. The last reason why I loved this book is because the characters never gave up. Torak faced many dangers trying to cure the sickness, but never gave up. Not only was this book great, it’s a story about adventure and friendship. This book is recommended for readers who love non-stop action.
