Book Scavenger

Life is a game for Emily. Example, see how many states Emily's family can live in, maybe all 50? Another example, Book Scavenger , the site that has it all. In Book Scavenger you hide books, give a clue to where they are found, and let others solve the clue and accomplish a book hide-and-seek. Also after you find the book, you get the chance to read the book that you found.
When Emily's parents or 'rents' as her exotic, "Flush" addicted brother would call them have decided to move to another state... California. In California Emily receives the "great"pleasure to move to San Francisco, home of Book Scavenger and it's creator, Garrison Griswold. This part of the move is good, but as always Emily's life of games has some negative gifts included in the moving process. Her #1 dislike is the fact that her family never settles in one place for long, only enough time to have proof to the family' s career, a 50 Homes in 50 States blog. This time in Emily's new adventure she discovers a friend very much like herself, and not far away. James. Though, as fate happens, as Emily meets a friend, her celebrity, Garrison Griswold meets a foe. Somebody out to steal his popularity, and maybe his life. When Emily and James find out, they try to piece together the clues before it's too late. With a life at stake, and a game to play, other Book Scavenger users to avoid, Emily and James might not be able to solve the last puzzle, hopefully not the last puzzle. The duet will need all the help they can get. In a battle of greatness and glory, books and ciphers, Book Scavenger has it all. Written by Jennifer Chambliss Bertman, Book Scavenger holds secrets and answers to all the questions. If you like Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library by Chris Grabenstein, or a realistic fiction book with some crazy characters, you will definitely like Book Scavenger, "Where life is a game and books are the tokens!"Book Scavenger Cover

Al Capone Does My Homework

This book is by Gennifer Choldenoko. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a little bit of everything. There's a whole lot of mystery and comedy even a little bit romance… uh for the nasty folks. My favorite part was when I found out a clasel twist in the book. It was  about  one of the so called bad guy .  He might not be as tough and mean as you thought! He may even be nice.Also Lizard may be a little weird  let's just say  Lizard  should be called cockroach. If you think Nat is totally dumb  and can’t make her one choice’s you are totally wrong. Even though Piper may be a pain she just might help in the big pitcher. Moose is a good aim but only when it comes to baseballs:). Will Moose's family survive before they find the culprit that set fire to their house. Why did the person do it, who did it and how did  they do it.
