Book - Skeleton Creek by Patrick Carman
Image - 4 stars

This book is so good, it has mystery and you can go online and watch videos with the passwords in the book. This is book one but there is a second called the "Ghost in the Machine" by Patrick Carman.

Book - Dear Pen Pal by Heather Vogel Frederick
Image - 4 stars

It's such an awesome book! It's about five girls who are best friends, and one of them got a scholarship for a boarding school so she gets a bit disconnected. It's an amazing book! P.S. it's the fourth in the series

Book - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling
Image - 4 stars

This is a great book. It's all about bravery. Harry, Ron, and Hermione set out on a quest to destroy Voldemort's Horcruxes, a task that Professor Dumbledore left the 3 of them. It is very mysterious and leaves lots of clues. P.S. Don't read this book unless you've read all the other Harry Potter books.

Book - Draupner's Curse by C.E. Smith
Image - 4 stars
This book is exciting and humorous. It has everything that I like most in a fantasy adventure book: elves, goblins, treasure, dragons, giants, and a desperate race to break a deadly curse. Based on Norse mythology, Draupner was a gift to the ruling god Odin. Every ninth night, Draupner produces eight gold rings and is a source of wealth to the owner. The author had a unique idea to create a curse and fantastic journey to break the curse. After the characters overcome one deadly peril after another, there are a couple neat twists at the end. I also laughed out loud at the humour interspersed throughout this book. (Note from the Librarian - This book can be found in the Young Adult collection)
