Teddy's: Summer grabbing my hand made it felt like the cheesiness you find in a movie. It’s just like a walk to a building we’ve been to and back, no big deal right? But I think complying with this task meant more, we were in for the whole ride now. Inside, it was exactly what you expected a sewage pipe to be like. It was dark with a faint light every couple of minutes which I assumed were for workers to somewhat see, and there was a lot of gunk on the ground which we had to avoid by walking on the sides of the circular tube. Erica had fallen behind when Cyrus and Alexander wanted to sprint up there to see if it connected in any way to SPYDER’s base. “So I don’t believe we’ve met without me pointing a gun at you” She shook hands with Teddy and Summer, which was really weird for her, the only other times she’d had hand to hand combat not in a fight with enemy agents was with Cyrus…or me. “Why are you so cold?” Teddy said, out of the blue. We all turned at him before Er...

Similar to my last book, this may not be your cup of tea if you're not into it. A lot of people simply don't like anything to do with football. But I've loved sports and books about them for awhile. Other than spying books, sports fiction was one of the first genres where I'd read whole novels of it. But I haven't posted much about it, I don't know, I guess a lot of people don't like it. But that's the point right, expose you guys to new books? So, while it isn't my favorite, I totally recommend you guys to read The League Summary:  Wyatt Parker is your typical goody-two-shoes. Never lies, plays golf,  probably will become valedictorian, and built like a pencil, which is why he's friends with Francis (his golf partner who's exactly like him) and gets beat up by Spencer Randle, you typical big football player who's a bully. As Wyatt has realizes, football players don't get beat up, and get girlfriends, which is practically preached b...

Ok so after my guest review on Erik's blog went up, I spiked in views!!! I went from 50 views a day to more than 270 in the past 24 hours. So, considering there are new viewers, I feel like I should explain myself briefly again. Hello, so this is a blog pretty much dedicated to my man, Stuart Gibbs. He's definitely my favorite author and I write fanfiction and reviews about his books. I would definitely recommend you to binge his FunJungle, Spy School, and MBA series mostly because they're awesome but partly because you'll get the fanfic stories I write. This is one of those blogs where I accept all submissions!!! A book you want reviewed, I will try to get it done (except for fantasy genre...speaking of which brings up another topic) A lot of people have asked me to review fantasy books. There's a reason why, but I kind of want to save that for a big Q & A section. So if you have a serious question (How do you feel about the plot line of Red Queen?) or rand...

Everybody! Go check out this link  here  to see my guest review for thiskidreviewsbooks.com! Erik (the author of the blog) writes amazing reviews about picture books and other novels and sometimes just random book-related things. GO check out his blog!

Because I'm not feeling a rant today and the fact I need to promote my blog as a reviewing site as well, I've decided to...well...put up a review. This is one of those books that nobody reads. I mean if you haven't figured it out yet, it's a chess book. But, I am I chess nerd, and while I don't study famous openings, middles, and end games, I can pummel by siblings to the dark ages. Even if you don't love  chess (or don't even know what it is), you have to read this book. Summary:  Daniel Pratzer is a patzer (a term which basically means you terribly suck at chess), yet when Eric Chisolm and Brad Kinney, two of the most popular seniors at his high school, invite him to the father-son chess tournament, Daniel is shocked. Why would the valedictorian of the senior class and the most popular jock, dating the prettiest freshman Brittney, ask him to a chess tournament. Later, he figures out why, his dad is a grand master, the highest rank you can achieve in Ches...

Ok, I'm amazingly shocked that in all my writing of the Crossover, I completely forgot to review this! Here are my thoughts on Stuart Gibb's latest book, Spaced Out. Summary:  So Dashiell can finally talk to Zan, an alien from the planet Bosco (it's not it's real name, but saying the really long list of letters, numbers and characters would be boring), and is trying to explain to her what life on Earth is like (for research of course). Shortly after his encounter with Zan (and a fight with the dreaded Sjobergs), Nina Stack, the commander at Moon Base Alpha, disappears. Naturally, they have to search everywhere  but no, Nina Stack was not simply in the bathroom for a couple of hours and no, she's not in her room sleeping. The realization comes around: If she's not in  the base, she has to be outside  the base. You can only survive so long with a space suit before the oxygen runs out...an you die. OR what if she isn't out there, because someone...killed her?...

Well, this won out (although it was EXTREMELY CLOSE, like Erica POV was three views-less-popular) so here it is, part 11! Erica POV will be released soon, although no guarantee (unless people want it). Also, I'm thinking on doing an FAQ, thing? I don't know, just I have a big enough fanbase that some  one has some curious questions. Oh yeah, and I'll be putting more reviews out, even if they're less popular (like we're talking 15 views each), but it's where my passion is. Movie lines aside, here's is segment 10! I thought we did a really good job hiding. Summer and I had gotten up to the room at 6:45 and we climbed onto the roof of ceiling tiles and started a recorder when the agents had walked in. We were as still as…whatever doesn’t move at seven in the morning and listened in on the conversation. Trying to be quiet, we’d bought our phones and were texting each other to communicate. “So we’re going over there right?” “Yeah. My dad was smarter th...

The tenth segment of the amazing Crossover Fanfic is here! Judging by the popularity of each of the Fanfics, more will be released of the popular on on Friday. Enjoy! As soon as Erica, Cyrus, Alexander, and Ben followed by JJ, Bubba and Marge left, I asked Summer “So what are we going to do?” “You mean after we get into their meeting with JJ?” “No after I turn into a billionaire” “Haha, well y’know I could give you a ‘small’ loan of a billion dollars. Anyway, yes, it’s kind of like that situation that you had to deal with when Kazoo the Koala went missing. You had to prove that you didn’t steal him by solving the case, although here it’s a variation where we have to prove that we can solve cases so that they let us in the meat of things” “Do you have a plan if they know we’re going to be there?” She waved that idea off. “Are you serious? They think we’re some lame thirteen year olds that got lucky three times in a row. Also, I know five other ways to get in this ...

OK, so instead of doing something like a rant or whatever, considering that I was going to release Erica POV fanfic and the Crossover, I figured why not lump them into one day? Here is the Erica POV fanfic, continued from more than half a year ago! (admittedly, all of this is already out there, but I'm in the works of writing it, so here it is in one post, as a refresher) Crossover to come later tonight! January 16 1650 hours Principal’s Office “Ok guys we got a new recruit. Benjamin “Ben” Ripley- 12 year old from some middle school. All right- don’t get yourself killed. Just try to scare the living daylights out of him. Positions!” The principal lectured us. I hadn’t even wanted to be here- dealing with some newbie who’d probably be too scared to touch a gun let alone fire it- but my idiot dad dragged me into it, as well as the principal with his lie of giving me extra credit. I figured I could have some fun. I didn’t know what I was getting into. I pulled my ski mask ...

I've seen YouTube channels do this where they put up a short post and people comment on it with content they want to see. I figure I'd try it out. I have enough people that they're opinion needs to be heard! So anything you want, more Fanfic, Erica POV story to continue, a rant, another wacky Top Ten, a review, a shout out, or anything else simply comment below (there's no limit to the amount of things you ask for! Just don't spam "FANFIC" a billion times) I'll look at it on Tuesday and do what you guys want (except for book reviews I haven't read) Sidenote: ONE COMMENT AWAY from another segment of Fanfic Tuesday!!!

Ok, so 9th installment of the fanfic, which I think is coming along good. Speaking of other things, anyone remember the old Erica POV story? Well, someone was asking for it and I actually found the file so I think in addition I might start releasing some every now and then, most likely Wednesdays of Thursdays. I also have a review of something coming up...so be on the lookout for that. Anyways...enjoy! We ran down the stairs where we met three SPYDER agents, big, muscular men dressed like T-ball coaches, in t-shirts and shorts, were running at us. There were at least four more cars with similar built agents showing up, with I presumed more to come. Fighting them obviously wouldn’t work- after the first couple waves, no matter how good we were, we would get overwhelmed. Cyrus took a split second to take us around the back, and now it was simply a footrace to the back fence, assuming no one was back there of course. We made it to the fence, and all in one stride, Cyrus sprayed a m...

So I liked my last rant about SPYDER, but I felt like it wasn't very enjoyable to read one huge chunk of text. But, I didn't want to go back to my Q&A style posts so I think paragraphs should be fine. Anyways, today's topic is: Why do people harm books? Dog Earing:  Ok, I will admit that if it's a really worn and torn library copy (which i will get to), I've found my lazy self folding the side of thew page over to keep my place. But this is completely WRONG. Like what did the book do to you? It just wants to be read and yet you fold the pages over so that by the time you finish it and take a glance at the side it looks so creased and folded it looks like you've created origami. In most library books, they have that little card with a stamp which, please people, use to keep your place (as an added bonus you won't lost it, saving the world) If not, get some random corner of your homework tear it out (not of your work) and use that. Library Books:  I ha...

You'll either love this part, or you'll hate it because it's so cheesy. Either way, let's get 7 comments! I'll release more on Tuesday! The SPYDER agents were tough, but thanks to Erica’s amazing fighting skills, who took down two of them, as well as Cyrus and Alexander able to handle both guys, we finished them off, an put them behind the building. Cyrus then spent the next minute yelling at Alexander for setting off the “------ Alarm” On the way out, the SPYDER agents reset the door lock, assuming they would take us down, they didn’t put it in some sort of lock down mode, so Cyrus had to break in again. It took him a minute, but he eventually got in. Of course, as soon as got in, we heard some more people. I, as well as everyone else, put our hands on our “weapons” them three guns, me my handy taser, as we assumed it were more SPYDER agents. “WHEREVERY YOU ARE, SHOW YOURSELVES” a woman yelled, raising her gun in the air like at a track meet. We lowered ...

There's nothing in the the middle grade literary world that makes me mad right now, so I guess I'll do a top ten list. Show this to your non-reading friends and get them to start picking up books.  10) Books let you be that sports hero at the end of the game, the dragon slayer, or let you fly on your hoverboard while you eat ribs. Who doesn't like ribs? 9) Books make you smart. Find me a kid that makes straight A's (yes, that  kid) and I'll find you a kid that reads. 8) Do you like movies? Feature films like The Maze Runner  and Harry Potter  have come from books. Books let you get away from your parents for a couple hours and stuff yourself with popcorn while you hang with your friends. 7) Why not? 6) You can put yourself in any fantasy world and live in it for a couple of days (or hours) 5) You like having fun right? Go to a book festival. Even if you don't bring books, tell me you didn't have fun at the end of the day. 4) Famous...
