Intruder by Carolyn Keene


Title: Intruder
Author: Carolyn Keene
Stars: 5
Description: When George's mom asks Bess, George, and me to help in her cater a benefit for the library, we're all on board. The event is a Jane Austen-themed tea party, and George even agrees to wear a dress for the occasion! It seems like the party isn't every one's cup of tea though. The bed-and-breakfast where the event is being held has been plagued by vandalism. Someone is breaking teapots, making a mess, booby-trapping the staircase, and generally terrorizing the old couple that owns the place. No one can figure out how the mysterious intruder is getting in and out of the house- and that's where I come in. I plan of solving this faster than I can get to the bottom of a cup of Darjeeling.
Nancy has agreed to help out in a Jane Austen Tea Party. But soon another mystery comes along and she has to solve it. Someone is vandalizing the bed-and-breakfast were the tea party is being held. Broken teapots, messed up bed sheets, booby-traps on the staircase.
What Nancy has to figure out is what he or she is looking for, how he or she is getting in and out, and who he or she is! This is a tough one and it takes her two friends, George and Bess, to help her solve it!

5. Full Circle
(This song is another one of my favorites and is about a girl trying have a boy come back to her)

Shadowland (The Mediator Book 1) by Meg Cabbot



Title: Shadowland

Author: Meg Cabbot

Young Adult

Series: Yes, Mediator books

Stars: 5

Description: Suze is a mediator- a liaison between the living and the dead. In other words, she sees dead people. And they won't leave her alone until she them resolve their unfinished business with the living. But Jesse, the hot ghost who is haunting her bedroom, doesn't seem to need help. Which a relief, because Suze just moved to sunny California and plans to start fresh, with trips to the mall instead of the cemetery, and surfing instead of spectral visitations. But the very first day at her new school, Suze realizes in's not that easy. There's a ghos with revenge on her mind....and Suze happens to be in the way.

Suze Simon is a mediator...in other words she can see dead people. And her job is to help them to get to his or her afterlife. After her mom getting re-married she has to move from New York to California. And when she sees her new house she finds out that there is a dead guy haunting her bedroom.

Well, once she gets that problem figured out she then has another one. When she goes to her new school she finds out that there is another ghost in the way. And the ghost has revenge on her mind and Suze is in the way.

Ok, now first things first, there is A LOT of language in this book. Like, OMG, b****, the "D" word and more. And just to let you know, I don't think Meg Cabbot if a Christian either because there are some crude parts in here.

Even though this book had all of this stuff it was still a good book. But you can definitely tell that it is a Young Adult book.

Lights, Camera... by Carolyn Keene



Title: Lights, Camera.....

Author: Carolyn Keene

Stars: 5

Description: I'm a detective, not an actor, so who would think I'd be involved in a crime both off screen and on? A producer has come to River Heights to film a reenactment of the heist that gave out town it's name, and he thinks I'm perfect for the part of Esther, the sister of the thieving Rackham boys. So I figure, why not give it a try? But once the cameras start rolling, the trouble begins. Food poisoning. Broken generators. And worse. If I don't sniff out some suspects soon, this might be my last act.

Nancy finds out that there is going to be a movie made in River Heights. And when she takes Lurther to go see if he can work there the producer wants her to play the part of Esther. So she says, why not give it a try?

Well, when they start the cameras up bad things start happening. Food poisoning, computer virus, lack of electricity. And if Nancy doesn't figure out what is going on somebody might end up hurt, really hurt.

This book has a couple of kisses, and one of the couples live together and they aren't married but there is nothing major in this book.

Eleven by Patricia Giff



Title: Eleven

Author: Patricia Giff

Stars: 5

( Sorry, I don't have the book write now so no description)






Sam is turning 11, why he is so afraid of it? Maybe because all of his dreams represent the number 11. One night Sam sneaks into the attic and finds a newspaper clipping saying that he is missing and that his name is Sam Bell, instead of McKenzie. What is up with that??
Everything would be OK if only Sam could read! He only knows that newspaper clipping says that he is missing and that his last name is Bell.

His plan is to ask one of his classmates to help him read it. He chooses a girl name Caroline. Sam has a plan to ask her to read this newspaper clipping and find out where he belongs, and who he really is.


This book has holding hands and also a kiss on the cheek but nothing major.

I really liked this book and it is kind of a mystery.

Camp Rock



Title: Camp Rock

Disney Channel

Jonas Brothers

Description: When Mitchie gets a chance to attend Camp Rock, her life takes an unpredictable twist, and she learns just how important it is to be true to yourself. Join the platinum-selling Jonas Brothers and the hottest cast of performers at the coolest summer camp anywhere!

This movie is like a dance and sing movie. I like those kinds of movies especially if there are really good singers in the movie. I really like the Jonas Brothers and the main girl, Demi Lovato, is a great singer also.

Mitchie gets to go to Camp Rock where all the people that want to be like, famous, go there. Well, when she goes there, she is living a lie. Trying to be popular. But when the lie comes unfolded she sees how she can just be herself here.

I really liked this movie and I advise you to watch it!

Treasure in the Royal Tower


This computer game is my friend Caitie's but I like this one a lot better then The Secret of the Old Clock.
The game starts off with Nancy writing a letter to George. You find out that she is on vacation and that she was planning to go skiing. But then she has a blizzard on her hands, and maybe another mystery.
Someone vandalized the library and one of the guests said that her rooms been robbed.
I really liked this one a lot more then my game and I like to play it over and over and over again. There is lots of puzzles and walking around because the castle is really big and it is hard to find you way around.
If you are playing this game and can't figure it out, tell me because I have some cheats and tips for you!

Pit of Vipers by Carolyn Keene



Title: Pit of Vipers

Author: Carolyn Keene

Stars: 5 (Because the last part is very funny)

Description: There's been a snake-napping at the River Heights Zoo, and all the clues about the thief seem to point in my good friend Charlie's direction. But why would Charlie want to steal a snake? I'm not convinced he's the perpetrator, but the cops are on the other side of the fence.Speaking of snakes, George's younger brother, Scott, has been slithering around a lot latley, all sneaky-like. He's not acting himself, but his lips are sealed about what's wrong. Do these mysteries have anything to do with each other? Stick around.

Nancy does not believe that her good friend Charlie Adams would steal a snake. But it turns out that she doesn't know him as much as she thought. He collects snakes, lizards, anything that is reptiles. And how did the police suspect his so fast?

And then George's younger brother is also acting very strange. Ditching swim class that he loves, and acting like a snot on top of it. Nancy, George, Bess, and George's parents have no idea why Scott is acting like this.

I really like these Nancy Drew books so I advise you to read a lot of them!

Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer



Title: Breaking Dawn
Author: Stephenie Meyer
Stars: 5!!!!!
Description: To be irrevocably in love with a vampire is both fantasy and nightmare woven into a dangerously heightened reality for Bella Swan. Pulled in one direction by her intense passion for Edward Cullen, and in another by her profound connection to werewolf Jacob Black, she has endured a tumultuous year of temptation, loss, and scrife to reach the ultimate turning point. Her imminent choice to either join the dark but seductive world of immortals or pursue a fully human life has become the thread from which the fate of two tribes hangs. Now that Bella has made her decision, a startling chain of unprecedented events is about to unfold with potentially devastating and unfathomable consequences. Just when the frayed strands of Bella's life-first discovered in Twilight, then scattered and torn in New Moon and Eclipse- seen ready to heal and knit together, could they be destroyed...forever?


This is the last book of the Twilight Saga. My mom read it our loud to me and I loved it. I really think that this is the best book of the whole series. I really advise you to read it because it is SO good. I would start from the beginning though. All of them are really good but the this has to be my most favourite.




IF YOU DON'T WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS DON'T READ ANY FARTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!









Bella is a little bit nervous to get married to Edward Cullen but she is all set. There honey-moon is the most romantic place for them to go but only rich people would do that! :)
A little bit later, Bella finds out that she is pregnant! HOW??? Vampires and humans can't have babies together? Well, vampires and vampires can't have babies together, but maybe.....

This baby is very.....lets say, strong. Edward and Jacob aren't sure that she is strong enough to hold this baby in there much longer before she dies but Bella knows that she can do it. And since Edward can read minds he hears his daughters mind.

Renesmee is trying not to stretch or anything that will brake anymore of Bella's bones and is very careful and loving. So is Bella. But when the baby is choking Bella needs to get the baby out is is choking on blood also. The only way to save her is to get the baby out and to save her with vampire venom.......


This book has a couple of bad words in it like the D word and that kind of stuff but nothing to bad.

And these books aren't scary at all and I really advise you to read all of them.

A Race Against Time by Carolyn Keene (Nancy Drew)


Title: A Race Against Time
Author: Carolyn Keene
Stars: 4 1/2
Description: If I'm in the game, I play to win. So as captain of my team in River Heights Biking for Bucks charity road race, my goals are to bring my team over the finish line first-and to catch a thief along the way!
See, all of the money we raised before the race has been stolen-and I know I can find it. With two days, practically no clues, and a bike race to win, I've got my work cut out for me. But with Bess, George, and Ned on my team, what could stand between us and the gold?
Nancy is really excited to win this race but she has to remember that the money goes to charity, but that is kind of hard when the money has been stolen. And it is also hard to concentrate on the race because someone is sabotaging our bikes and our car.
With Bess, George, and Ned still in the race, Nancy sets out to find who the thief is of this stolen money. And this means for her to cut out of the race and go her own way to find this person.
Good book! Recommend!
