Gabi Esta Aqui! (That Means Gabi is Here!)

Hello, everyone!
Today I'm going to review the Get Ready for Gabi!: A Crazy Mixed-Up Spanglish Day by Marisa Montes.
Gabi is a feisty Spanish girl who is very proud that she can speak both English and Spanish fluently. She's got two best friends by her side- Devin and Jasmine- and an amazing, fun family. Her brother Miguelito is probably the best- well, noisy- brother you could ever imagine, her Papi, the absent-minded scientist, her Mami, a strict but kind mother and her Abuelita, the BEST GRANDMA EVER. Gabi's ready for anything, with her trusty sidekick, her red leather boots.
Okay... maybe not everything... Her worst enemy Johnny Wiley is totally driving her crazy. He's making her best friends upset and making her Little Buddy, Ceci, cry.
And now she's stuck with him for a whole month in a group project, along with Sissy Huffer, not a good friend. Then her Abuelita visits. Things could't get much worse, could they? That's what Gabi thinks until she finds out her Grandma SNORES. Now she can't sleep!
Gabi's so mad and tired that she can't speak properly. All her English words get mixed up with her Spanish words! Nobody understands what she's saying.
Will Gabi ever make sense again?
Marisa Montes has written the other books in this series: Who's That Girl?, No More Spanish, Please Don't Go, and All in the Familia.
I recommend this book for ages 7-10.

What Bad Luck!

Hey, everybody!
Imagine if you had the worst luck in the world. Nothing good would ever happen. Luckily, the Baundelaires from A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket are definitely lucky. Who wouldn't mind a mansion, wonderful parents and a future full of promise in store? Everybody would say the Baundelaire children are lucky.
Or...are they?
When the Baundelaire children find out that their parents have died in a sudden, mysterious fire, they're mortified. They're sent to live with a relative, Count Olaf, who says he'll treat them properly. But when three children have one tiny bed, a box for a closet, and when they have to cook for Olaf's theater troop- the man with the hook hand, the person who looks neither like a she or he and even more horrible people!
Suddenly, the youngest Baundelaire, Sunny, disappears, and Count Olaf threatens  Violet, the inventor and Klaus, the researcher, that he won't give her back until they give up their fortune...
Thrown into a world of mystery, V.F.D, guardians and horror, what measures will Violet, Klaus and Sunny take to escape from the wicked- and not to mention filthy- Count Olaf?
Will they ever solve the mystery of the sudden fire that took away their parents' lives?
Can they ever get away from Count Olaf?
There are 13 books in this series including The Bad Beginning and The Reptile Room.
Lemony Snicket is the pen name of an American author Daniel Handler, who is best known for his Series of Unfortunate Events. He has also written The Basic Eight, Who Could That Be At This Hour?, Lump of Coal and many more.
I recommend this book for ages 9 and above.
This series gets 10 out of 10 stars! 

Get in a Mood!

Hello, everyone
Today I'm going to review the Judy Moody and the NOT Bummer Summer by Megan McDonald.
Judy Moody is typical girl from Virginia, the USA. Only sometimes she gets into her moods too often...
Judy can't wait to have the Best Summer Ever with her friends Amy Namey, Rocky and Frank. She's planned the best summer ever. She's created a competition for everyone  and who ever gets the most thrill points for having fun officially has had the Best Summer Ever. But when Judy finds out that her friend Rocky is going to Circus Camp, and that Amy is going to go save a lost tribe in Borneo, Judy finds out that she's going to have a totally Bummer Summer.
Things get even worse when her Aunt Awful (um, sorry, Opal) comes to visit. How is Judy going to get out of this horrible mess?
That's when Judy gets an idea. How about continuing the contest through a race? That way, everyone can see who else is doing what and who is having a great summer. Judy can't wait to get enough thrill points to win.
But how do you win a competition when you get puked on by your best friend, or when your hand gets stuck to the table? And what happens when your younger brother Stink is a Bigfoot Believer?
Judy might not be having the time of her life, but this is one summer she'll never forget!
Megan McDonald is an American author. In the Judy Moody series, she has also written The Doctor is Here!, Judy Mood was in a Mood, Judy Moody Predicts the Future, Judy Mood Around the World in 8 1/2 Days and many more. She has also written a series for Judy's brother Stink: Stink and the Midnight Zombie, Stink and the Great Guinea Pig Express and more. She has also written many other books such as Rule of Three.
I recommend this book from ages 6 to ages 9.
This book has been made into a movie and I really love it! 

1936: Brandon Lake, the Invisible Detective

Calling all bookworms!
Imagine, if you were invisible, it would be so easy to investigate mysteries, wouldn't it? But being  invisible isn't possible! Or is it?
London, 1936: Art and his friends Meg, Jonny and Flinch are four extraordinary kids- or detectives- who fight crime- but how? These four kids unite and act as one man: The Invisible Detective a.k.a Brandon Lake. Brandon Lake seems like a shadowy detective to the people of London, but he's just the creation of Art, Meg, Jonny and Flinch.
 He- or perhaps they- hold sessions every Monday evening. Pay six pence and get your mystery solved by next week's session. But sometimes the mysteries are quiet abnormal....
What can four kids do if ghost soldiers stalk through London, or monsters crawl the sewers or very strange, familiar puppets come to town?
London, today: When young Arthur Drake enters the old- supposedly haunted- antique shop, he is given a strange old stone and the old, yellowing casebook of the Invisible Detective by the shop owner. Suddenly thrown into the world full of strange dreams and images, monsters and ancestors, Arthur realizes he shares a special link with the Invisible Detective!
Can Arthur find out more about the past and about the Invisible Detective with whom he shares a mysterious connection?
Justin Richards is a British writer whose most books take place during Victorian times or 20th century London. He has also written the Doctor Who books, Tears of the Oracle, Time Runners, The Doomsday Manuscript and many more books too. I recommend this book to ages 8 and above.
Anthony Horowitz, author of the Groosham Grange and The Diamond Brothers series says,"extremely enjoyable... I am a fan of the Invisible Detective."
I also give this series 10/10 stars!

And You Thought You Class Was Spooky!

Hey guys,
Sorry I haven't posted a review for some time now, but now I have a chilling, hair-raising series to review, called Ghostville Elementary written by Debbie Dadey and Marcia Thornton Jones.
Sleepy Hollow: A quiet, normal town with a quiet, perfectly normal school- except for one fact. There are rumors that ghosts haunt the basement of the school!
When Mr. Morton's third grade class moves down into the basement, none of them know what to expect. Turns out, the rumors are true! But only three best friends know the truth. Nina, Jeff and Cassidy are the kids chosen to be seen by the ghost.
None of the ghosts are really scary: Ozzy, the bully, Calliope and her ghost kitten Cocomo, Becky, Ozzy's sister, Edgar, a ghost who lives in a picture and loves writing spooky stories, Sadie, the sad ghost, and Harvey, the ghost dog, are just spooks that used to go to Sleepy Hollow Elementary.
The ghosts aren't at all harmful- except for the fact that they cause too much trouble!
Will Jeff, Nina and Cassidy be able to stop the ghosts from fooling around- and haunting around?
Debbie Dadey and Marcia Thornton Jones have also written the famous Bailey School Kids series, in which a group of four kids have to deal with the strange grownups that live in Bailey City.
These books have a very interesting plot although they may be slightly boring at some points. If you want a quick, interesting read, though, then this could be your ideal book.
 I recommend this book for ages 7 to 10 years.
This series is very interesting, and although they are not as scary as horror movies, they are worth a good read!
