The River Sea? What's dattt? As it turns out, the river sea is just another name for the AMAZON, the second longest river on earth. The story is about Maia, who is thirteen years old and now an ORPHAN! She has to leave London for Brazil, where her relatives own a rubber plantation. It's the early 1900s, so after meeting her new governess Miss Minton, she travels on steamship to the Amazon Rainforest. On the ship, she meets a child actor by the name of Clovis who wants to go back to England and eat pudding. On arriving, Maia discovers that the Carters are not as she imagined them. Mrs. Carter is obsessed with cleanliness and kills any bug that enters the house with her flit gun! And Mr. Carter's business is going badly, but he will NOT sell his precious glass eyeball collection. And the TWINS are very mean and like cheese. But Mai's life changes when she meets Finn, the son of a well-known naturalist who has to escape the CROWS, two PEOPLE who want to get him back to his ancestral home in England. Finn concocts a plan involving both Clovis and Maia. But will it work? Stuff will happen! At first, I did not think that I would like this book, but it's really interesting and funny.

The CARPET. To the carpet people, its vastness knows no bounds. These tiny people are so small that their city, Ware is the size of a period. But living on the carpet can have its dangers. For example, FRAY, the absolutely terrifying natural phenomenon that destroys entire cities. One day the members of the Munrung tribe are peacefully minding their own business when suddenly, FRAY destroys the village! So Snibril, a Munrung, and his brother, Glurk lead the tribe across the Carpet. BUT, they run into Mouls, evil beings who use Fray to conquer cities. How will Snibril stop the Mouls? And where will they settle? The book was really funny and I liked it.

This book is really great and fun to read! Super interesting and for all ages.

The book takes place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in the year 1920. Zézé is 5 years old and he wants to be a bow tie-wearing poet. But for now, he plays pranks on other people living in his neighborhood. Zézé puts wax on sidewalks so that people slip and fall. He's so naughty that people say he's the devil's grandson. He lives in a big family with three sisters and two brothers. They are so poor that nobody gets Christmas presents. In the book, Zézé meets many people, including Pinkie the orange tree and Seu Ariovaldo, a musician. But one day he makes a real friend, Portuga. At first, they're enemies, but as they get to know each other, he becomes a father to Zézé. The book was funny and sad, and I enjoyed reading it. The translation was also great!

Cammie Morgan is not your average girl. She goes to a school for spies. But when she meets a regular boy, who thinks she's a normal girl, she's left with one big blank. This book is wonderful, and I'm glad I read it. Full of action, and well-written, this book can be for anyone.

I LOVED LOVED LOVED this book and this was the reason I kept reading the series. I was SUPER sad when I couldn't find the last book! :'( So basically there is this regular teenage girl-wait, what did you say? Oh sorry *cough cough* regular teenage SPY girl. Cammie Morgan's mother is the headmistress of Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women. (A spy school in other words) The girls there know a TON of different languages, take tai kwon do in P.E, and a lot of other cool stuff. But there is one thing that the school HASN'T trained Cammie for-dealing with a regualar teen boy crush.

When trouble calls . . . it’s DOG SQUAD to the rescue! Duke is not your average dog. Along with his crew, he fights crime and goes on claw-biting adventures helping dogs in peril in the hit streaming sensation—DOG SQUAD! Fred is a pretty average dog. He’s scrappy. He’s loveable. But he’s not brave like his heroes on Dog Squad. Fred looks an awful lot like Duke from Dog Squad though. In fact, when Duke needs a stand-in, Fred’s the perfect choice. But the Dog Squad action doesn’t always stop on screen! When there’s danger in real life, can Fred find the courage to step up and save the day?! It’s all paws on deck in this action-packed, middle grade adventure series just right for anyone who loves dogs—and anyone who loves to laugh!

Writing style--4/5. Really good. Every now and then I got a little distracted because Cecilia would discuss something to the reader for a couple pages and I would get bored. But I was still very impressed. Age choice--2/5. Cecilia was fourteen. Fourteen! Seriously! Just the way she acted and thought, the stuff that happened to her, it all spoke sixteen to me. She was one of the most ME characters I've ever read, not sure what that says about me, and I guess I'm only fourteen too. So hmmmm... Ending--2/5 While I hadn't contrived the exact ending, I knew it would be something a little too easy. And it was. I had at least a dozen reasons of why the solution wouldn't work. Couldn't come up with a better alternative, however. Cecilia and Harper's ending was great though... :) Dialogue--5/5 No complaints whatsoever, which was great, actually kind of impressed. Conversations felt normal and non-contrived, with the ease of real life friends. I am jealous. :) Character development--3/5 Conflicted here. I didn't really feel like I knew the characters well enough to predict actions for anyone except Harper and Cecilia, but for an MC she was pretty average, with the exception of her high values. Relatable, but not exactly remarkable. My type of person in real life, not so much in a book. But then, personality was not relevant to the plot, and it was made up for in story. Not sure where to go with this.

Full of suspense.And teaches the sometimes people aren't what.They seem to be. And we can change of we try. Its.incredibly suspenseful. Love the way it was written
