I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You


I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You  By Ally Carter
**** 4/5 stars   Fiction

I So Don't Do Mysteries


I So Don't Do Mysteries  By Barrie Summy
***** 5/5 stars  Mystery
Sherry's mom, who was a police officer, died in a drug bust. Now she is back, as a ghost and she needs Sherry's help. For ghosts there are two options for the afterlife. She could've gone to the Academy for Spirits, or she could've become an animal. Sherry's mom decided to go to the Academy. Now she is in danger of flunking out of ghost school, unless Sherry helps her solve a mystery. Sherry would like to help, but it is hard to balance a normal seventh grade life and solve mysteries for ghosts.

Out of My Mind

Out of My Mind  By Sharon M. Draper
**** 4/5 stars   Fiction
Out of My Mind is a very interesting book about a girl, named Melody,  who is physically challenged. Melody can't talk (even though she is eleven) and she can't move (she has to use a wheelchair), but that doesn't stop her from remembering everything she hears and sees. She is a normal girl except for being unable to move and talk. People underestimate her so it is hard for her to make friends and to socialize.  The only reason I gave this book four stars and not five was because it was a bit too dramatic for my taste.

A Whole Nother Story

A Whole Nother Story  By Dr. Cuthbert Soup
**** 4/5 stars   Fantasy
For two years, Mr. Cheeseman and his children have been on the run from government agents, super spies, and evil corporations. The agents, spies, and corporations have been after Mr. Cheeseman’s invention, a time machine.  In the beginning of the book, Mr. Cheeseman and his children escape from them, but barely. The agents, spies, and corporations are closer than ever -- will Mr. Cheeseman and his children escape?
            I rated this book 4 stars because I listened to this as an audio book.  Other than that, it was wonderful.
