He didn't know! You can't blame him! But the real problem is that, it is due today... Kyle scribbles on a scrap of paper and there, he has his essay. Kyle didn't put much effort into the essay because he didn't know what he was getting out of it. The prize was getting to go to the new public library. 12, twelve year old students will be picked to go. Guess what, Kyle gets to go! And all he wrote was "There could be Balloons". But this was no ordinary field trip to your everyday public library. It was a game. Well yeah, at the very beginning they just played a couple small games. But they didn't know what was coming next. All twelve students were trapped inside the library and it was a competition to see who could get out first. Read, Escape From Mr. Lemoncello's Library to find your way out!

Brotherhood

Brother Hood By: A.B Westrick

When a 14 year old white boy meets a 15 year old "colored" girl named Rachel, and befriends her, great dangers haunt Shad.  Shad agrees to join the Brotherhood, better known as the Ku Klux Klan which he thinks is "an organization of white men that protect white widows," Shad has no idea what he's getting into and what this group is really capable of. Shad works with his Grandaddy at Weaver's Fine Tailoring, he needs to make a delivery to the Perkinson's home. When he reaches the front step and knocks on the door, Rachel appears and a couple minutes later Shad has a deal with Miss. Elizabeth to teach him reading in exchange for a dress that he needs to make for Miss. Abigail. He is taught reading by Rachel and a white man that helps black kids in their education which was in a "shed full of colored students." The Grand Cyclops of the Ku Klux Klan orders Shad's brother Jeremiah to torch the shed in the backyard of the Perkinson's home where the black students are being taught. Jeremiah is caught red-handed and goes to Libby Prison. Will Shad and his Grandaddy get Jeremiah out of Libby? And will the Klan always haunt Shad? Read Brotherhood By: A.B Westrick to hear more about Shad and the crazy mess he has created.

I recommend this book to readers that love action, mystery, and a good novel that you just can't put down!  The thing with the Klu Klux Klan I learned was what Shad thought they really were isn't what they were.  They actually were a group that wanted to drive out all black people from Virginia or at least make sure they wouldn't group together, learn, or take up jobs and  the Klu Klux Klan would scare and even murder to make sure those things wouldn't happen.  I had a lot of emotions while I read this book!  I talked to my mom and Mrs. Bronn about it as I read and when I finished.

The Hypnotists

            

             By Gordan Korman

 Is it a gift?....Or a curse?!

Weird things have been happening to Jax Opus, that kid with the color changing eyes. At first it was no big deal, suddenly seeing yourself from about thirty feet away, like you have a separate pair of eyes, is no big deal. Right? This has been going on for months, so it has to be something that just goes away in time. Or is it a warning? No one knew what caused it. The doctors would take one look at him; no, his EYES; and suddenly lose their mind. But not before Jax saw himself. That image of himself, like he was the eyes of the person looking at him. Then there was the letter. "Exceptional Skills" is how they described his "talents". But what danger could be around that corner? The fate of the world is in Jax's hands. So while Jax figure's out who the villain is; Elias Mako, the master of hypnotising, or maybe Axel Braintree, the old man that calls himself a hypnotist; an evil plan is being created to take over the world. With the help of his best friend, Tommy Cicerelli, anything is possible. And the truth will be nothing like you could ever imagine.

 I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a mind-bending adventure and wants some crazy excitement to go with it.
