Top 5 Book You've Never Heard Of: Part 3

Yep, another books you've never heard of list! You guys sure seem to love this series, because believe it or not, this has more views than my Belly Up review! So I'm going to give you what you want. Reviews are back tomorrow! 5. The Walk On: Kicking off the list is The Walk On. Alex Myers is the new kid at school, and is amazing at sports. Expecting to make the Varsity football team with a starting spot, he is shocked to learn that he basically has little to no chance of making Varsity. But he dazzles the coaches, and he barely squeezes in at the fourth string. Throughout this action-packed novel, learn how he survives riding the bench, getting his freshman crush, and being accused of using steroids all while trying to work with the team to win the state championship. 4. 15 Minutes: Casey Little is about as unpopular as you can get.

Top 5 Books/Series You've Never Heard of: Part 2

I seemed to like the last post a bunch so I had to try this again. If you haven't seen the last post go  here  Like I said last time, great if you've read these already, but most people haven't. These aren't the books most prominently shown on the floor, these are more hidden. Most likely, they have received little award recognition all though they totally should. 5. The Adventures of Jack Lime: If you've ever read The Fourth Stall (and if you haven't go read it. It's a Texas Bluebonnet award book for a reason) then this is very similar. A kid named Jack Lime solves problems for you and in return you give him a small favor in the future, The book gives you a three-for-one deal and in all three of the cases he has to solve, watch him try to avoid getting beat up, stay focused on the mission when one of his clients is the prettiest girl in school, save a kid from losing his 'perfect grade', and so much more. 4. Fallout: I think this book is popular...

Why I haven't posted and other news

I haven't posted in a week. I know. It's horrible. You want reviews of awesome books and instead you get nothing. And the weird thing is, I don't have an excuse. Vacations over for a week. Summer classes don't start yet. I've basically been lazy. Also, I've slowed down on the book. I mean, I was researching young authors and it turns out that there are thousands publishing books. Most of them are...not enjoyable, but I kid you not, some of them give greats like Tom Angleberger a run for their money. So, I've decide to perfect my craft, and do other things One of the other things is working on my Stuart Gibbs collection. I've been getting copies of his books and in starting to get display cases. In fact, I may start giving stuff away at a future date I get more views (hint hint) Since I hate false promises, all I can really say is that this is the place for great reviews. If you want good reviews stick around. If you just want content every da...

Whatever After: If the Shoe Fits: Changing the Fairy Tale with the...Crownie?

I was going to do a Cosmic review, but of course, being that i rushed out of my house on the way to the airport, I left it at home. I was bored, so today, in between sightseeing, I cracked it open and I read it. I was surprised at the result. The cover made it appear that a kid like me wouldn't be caught dead reading on of these 'girly' books, but they actually have a ton of humor and action. Summary: "The Magic Mirror isn't working Jonah". Having spent three nights in Abby's basement knocking on the mirror which had sucked them into Snow White's fairy tale, Abby deemed that the mirror only worked once. Of course Jonah tries just one more time.  And the mirror works, sucking them into an alternate world. They land in the coat room of a fancy ball, where a "mysterious gorgeous princess" emerges. It's Cinderella. Concerned only about getting home, Abby and Jonah follow her to her home, only to find no escape magic mirror...and ruin yet an...
