Kids Books - Adventure Books

Following the events of The Hostile Hospital, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire arrive at Caligari Carnival in the trunk of Count Olaf and his theatre troupe's car, unknown to them. Olaf and his associates speak of seeking Madame Lulu, a mysterious fortune-teller and owner of Caligari Carnival, for answers of the whereabouts of the Snicket files, which apparently contains crucial information on V.F.D. I made a connection for text to text because it reminds me of books that I've read that leave wondering until you read more. I give this book five stars because of how it is written and how every time you read it you find out something new about the characters and their journey. To find out if the Baudelaires escape read the Carnivorous Carnival.

The Grim Grotto is about the Baudelaire orphans, who find themselves in a little submarine, which has Captain Widdershins, the captain, Fiona, a kid who is also a mycologist, and Phil, whom the Baudelaires met at the Lucky Smells Lumbermill. The Baudelaires soon find themselves actually kind of happy, and when Captain Widdershins tell them they are trying to find the sugar bowl before Count Olaf does and try to make it to the last safe place of V.F.D. But when they start searching, they find themselves soon in Count Olaf's hands again. But the Baudelaires know they can defeat him, but with the uncovering of a man,a betrayal of a friend, and Carmelita Spats, the Baudelaire orphans need all their strength for this!

The Penultimate Peril is such a chilling, but thrilling story! (it rhymes!) The Baudelaires go to the last safe place of V.F.D, Hotel Denounment, to find all the former people they met along their journey. The Baudelaires are disguised as concierges to not be noticed in the hotel. Through a tragic stay at the hotel, the Baudelaires are discovered, but they aren’t letting Count Olaf and his minions get them! But, is that the only choice they have?

9 year old: Best book series ever, but Count Olaf is a jerk. Lemony Snicket has lots of great books, but this series is my favorite. 7 year old: I liked it, because we read it together. 12 year old: It is the best book series, Lemony Snicket is a great author. Mom: Reading this series together as a family was incredible. We paused and discussed theories so much. We did end up watching both the film and Netflix show after, neither do the series justice, but it was fun to see how film portrayed our favorite series of all time.

I won this book in a giveaway, and it was superb! It picks up about ten years where McMann's last series ended. Twin girls Fifer and Thisbe have extremely powerful magic, but there brother Alex (leader of Artime) won't let them learn how to use it until they learn how to control it. You see their magic has a reputation for being destructive and causing problems. They don't do it on purpose of course, it just slips out accidentally. When one of the dragons (Hux) Alex had made wings for in the previous series comes to Artime seeking help, the twins think this is the perfect opportunity to show Alex just how well they can use their magic for good. Fifer and Thisbe leave the island to help Hux and his siblings, but are met with some unexpected troubles upon arrival. I highly recommend reading this book. A great read for fans of the original Unwanteds series which I would recommend reading before reading this book.

Read the first

My mom found this set of books online and bought it for me.After I read the whole set,I decided Explorer Academy: The Dragon's Blood (Book 6) was the best book in in this series.The story is very adventurous and mysterious,I absolutely love it👍👍!!

So wow, I'm really loving all the new things introduced in their next arc of the Wings of Fire series. This one takes place at the same time as the tenth book, and I definitely don't recommend trying to jump into the series here. You should definitely go back and read from the beginning. I also highly suggest you read the prequel, Darkstalker before you read this one. Now with that out of the way, I loved the new types of dragons brought into our journey through the world of Wings of Fire. They're all so cool and unique. I thought how we got the history of this Lost Continent was really well done, and you can see how over time the dynamics between the different types of dragons shifted and evolved along with the environment of the continent itself. I liked the characters a lot. Blue was sooo frustrating, but that's just how he is. I thought he went through a lot of growth in this physically and mentally which was awesome to see. Luna was a great sister character pushing Blue but not too hard. Cricket was a fun, eccentric character that asks all the questions I had while reading! I really liked all of the other characters as well, and Sundew actually made me laugh out loud as I was listening to the audiobook. There is some instalove in this which was kind of annoying, but I appreciated that the novel was self aware about it and kind of pokes fun of it using other characters. I'm pretty excited to see how the new dragonets will handle their situations going forward, because this new arc promises some awesome rebellion and personal growth. It was wonderful coming back to the series through fresh eyes. I certainly had fun exploring the world, as well as the new dragons, set up by the author. It was the best course of action to focus on three species of dragons in this new world as opposed to the six that were in the previous books, especially if we are going to bring the two continents together as hinted at in the end of the last book as well as the end of this book This series follows the wonderful pacing of the previous books, starting at a calm but curious beginning and immediately throwing you into the action. I certainly was never bored while reading the book. The characters were each unique in personality and I can tell that the author is trying to branch out their appearances to match their personalities I would say the only down side would be the protagonist. That doesn't seem like a good thing but I would say this critique is that the protagonist has a loose personality. We have the main things established for Blue: He follows rules, he doesn't want to fight and cause a scene, etc. but other than that we don't see until later how his personality falls in line with his belief (the author tries to make "following the rules" a personality but it isn't). I enjoyed seeing his character slowly coming into picture but I only wish that it was clear from the beginning so we could follow his growth better. This could also apply to the other characters but not as much. I would certainly recommend this book (I already have) because it is so much fun.

Ok, this stinks. First of all, I'm a huge fan of Rick Riordan and I do not like his holy books being insulted this way. Second of all, this is a total copy. Yeah, I'm really offended and so mad. If I had the permission, I'd sue this Stinkin Steve. And I think this is an unofficial book, he'd need to get copyright from Rick Riordan.

"Welcome to the Warren Hotel.." Prepare to enter the secluded world of Warren the 13th, an odd-looking errand boy at the Warren Hotel. Warren can remember much better days at the Warren Hotel - generations and generations of Warrens took care of the hotel, with guests coming all over the world to stay at the famous hotel. But when Warren's father, Warren the 12th, unfortunately passed away, Warren's uncle Rupert inherited the hotel. Needless to say, things went downhill fast after that, and Warren's days became a living nightmare - especially because of Uncle Rupert's wife, Aunt Annaconda. Even though Aunt Annaconda acts lovey-dovey and perfectly sweet in front of Uncle Rupert, Warren knows the real reason she's here - she wants to find an old myth, the All-Seeing Eye, which is rumoured to be hidden somewhere in the hotel. Warren the 13th has been living a horrible life for twelve years.. but that possibly might change when the first guest in years stays at the hotel! It's a mysterious man covered in gauze, coats, and hats. But when Warren gets sent to the hotel hedge mazes as a punishment, he discovers Warren the 2nd's diary.. which is first of the many clues Warren discovers as he realizes that the All-Seeing Eye has the immense power to destroy the hotel.. or maybe even save it? But what Warren doesn't know that Aunt Annaconda is a very wicked witch, and is set on destroying the hotel and him along with it. Will Warren find the most unlikely allies and have a great adventure to save the hotel, or will he go down as only a pawn in Aunt Annaconda's master plan? I can't deny it - when I first picked up this book, I did not know what to expect. But when I finally decided to open it, I was transported into a world.. like ours, but in another dimension, almost. This book is almost like a manuscript straight out of someone's imagination, with all those fantastical creatures roaming around and secrets around every page! Warren the 13th and the All-Seeing Eye is an incredibly, incredibly creative book - it keeps you on your toes on every page because of the mystery surrounding everything! This book is delightful and charming, and when you think of those words, I think you think of a book that's sort of lightweight, but this book has deeper elements. It has horror, a bit of mystery, betrayal, and things that seem to "highlight" the book and give it depth. Another thing that surprised me was that I thought it was going to be strictly fantasy based on the cover, but it surprised me! It was a blend with nearly all of the genres - even romance (very, very, very corny romance) between Annaconda and Rupert! Even though this is aimed at children, I think all readers can enjoy this amazing read.. And I almost forgot to mention that there is a character named Sketchy, and he is such a sweetheart!
