When my mother suggested I read Detectives in Togas, I wasn't very enthusiastic. I didn't like the cover of the book and why would I want to read a story about schoolboys living in Ancient Rome? In fact, Detectives in Togas is a whodunit which involves seven boys who live in Rome: Caius, Mucius, Rufus, Antonius, Publius, Julius, and Flavius. They all go to the same school and are all good friends. Their teacher is a Greek called Xanthos and he is very strict. One day, Caius starts annoying Rufus by poking him in the back while he's trying to work. Rufus decides to get his revenge and writes "Caius is a dumbbell" on a wax tablet and hangs it on the wall of the classroom. Caius is so angry about this he shouts out that Rufus' father is a coward! The two boys start to fight each other. Xanthos is furious to see fighting in his school and pulls them apart, but he can't understand how it all started. Suddenly, he spots Rufus' wax tablet and what's written on it. He says that that Rufus is a disgrace and that he should go home immediately and not return to the school ever again. Rufus is very upset. He packs up his school things and leaves the classroom, but he doesn't go home. From his desk, Mucius can see him sitting on a barrel by the side of the road. He seems to be waiting for something or someone. Then suddenly, Rufus jumps up and runs off, but not in the direction of his house. The next morning, Rufus and Caius are not at school. More mysterious, Xanthos is nowhere to be seen! The five boys start to search everywhere. Where could he be? And where is Rufus' wax tablet? And who has written "Caius is a dumbbell" on the temple wall in large red writing? Could it really be Rufus? If you enjoy mystery stories, you'll love Detectives in Togas, especially piecing all the clues together. You also end up learning loads of interesting information about Ancient Rome as you go along - and even a bit of Latin!

The Alcatraz Escape is about Emily and James playing Garrison Griswold's newest game, Unlock the Rock. The game is very challenging and Emily and her friends have to work hard to solve all the puzzles.

AMAZING! I love everything about the book!

Puppy place is a really good series. All different types of dogs come with there own little story! Really good!! :)

The main conflict is a little different for this story, the third book in The Baby-Sitters Club graphic novel series, because this time the problem is internal. The Baby-Sitters Club members have all turned on each other, because of a fight that none of them remembers anymore. Kristy is mad because Claudia accused her of being a job hog, and Mary Ann and Stacey called her bossy. Claudia is mad because Kristy, Stacey, and Mary Ann all called her a job hog too. Stacey is mad because everyone else is mad, but she truly wants everyone to make up and get over it. Mary Ann is especially mad because Stacey called her a shy baby and Kristy called her a crybaby. All because Kristy took a baby-sitting job without consulting the other members, because it was for Lucy, a newborn baby, I mean who can blame her, babies are cute! Mary Ann is also struggling with her overprotective father, because he won't let her wear cool clothes, wear her hair down instead of in braids, and stay out later so she can take more baby-sitting jobs. Mary Ann feel alone since Kristy, her former best friend isn't talking to her, so Mary Ann makes a new friend in Dawn, the new kid at school. Eventually the Baby-Sitters Club members come to their senses and make up, and they even get a new member for their club, but what happened in between is where the lesson really is. I would recommend this to kids who like easy reads or graphic novels.

I started reading the Captain Underpants when I was in 3rd Grade. Now I'm going into the the 8th Grade and I practically grew up with the Captain Underpants series. The tenth installment in the series picks up right where the ninth novel left off, with the the time-traveling Tippy Tinkletrousers apparently having defeated the jovial hero. Luckily, the good guys and the bad guys both have access to time-traveling machines, so the story forms an intricate web of action that was entertaining to the reader. Over the course of the book, the characters relive historical events like the Big Bang, the extinction of dinosaurs, the start of the Ice Age, the world's first comic, and more. My favorite part of the books are the Flip-O-Ramas. They're actually really cool, and it makes the book seem more visual, even with the comical illustrations. I love Dav Pilkey's books, but I feel like this is the last Captain Underpants book that I will be reading in quite a long time. It had all the outrageous humor that I had remembered, and even though it's not in my reading range anymore, I somewhat enjoyed it. ~ifeelbookish
