The Vanishing Coin, by Kate Egan, Eric Wight, and magician Mike Lane is about a kid named Mike who prefers to do magic tricks instead of his homework. In his own words he’s not so smart because it takes him a while to finish his homework.

The settings of the book are the school, his house, Nora’s house, and the White Rabbit. The White Rabbit is an antique store but when Nora and Mike go to the back of the store they find out that it is also a magic store. Nora is a girl that moved next door to Mike. Mike thinks she’s amazing because she is very very smart.

Mike always ends up in the principal’s office, at least once a week. The reason he gets in the principal’s office is because he can’t sit still. Mike’s enemy’s name is Jackson, Jackson is a bully and he is always teasing Mike. Nora sometimes helps Mike with his problems. For example, when Nora and Mike and Nora’s Mom had to go to the dentist Nora knew that he was getting mad because he can’t sit still so Nora asked to take a walk.

I enjoyed this book because it actually tells you how to do magic tricks. One of the tricks you can learn is how to make a coin vanish. I recommend this book to people who like magic, and are looking for a quick read. I rate this book 4-5 stars.

PS, you may only find this book on the fourth grade shelf in the library.

This book was a really good book. It is about two girls, one named Dina and the other Chelsea. It is about popularity and everything is about how popular you are and how you look. The chapters switch so it’s really fun to read it. The girls are in 8th grade and have to work on a video project together, that’s where they get to know each other.

I rate this book three stars out of five, because I think it was too long when it came to explaining what they were doing.

***

The 9 lives of Alexander Baddenfield had a very, very, very slow start but got an exciting twist and a great plot after the first 30 or so pages.

Alexander is a boy who wants nine lives because if his family curse. He is rich so he asks a doctor to get him 9 lives. After he gets the nine lives he starts wasting his lives until he is down to one. See what happens to him next if you read the book.

I would rate this 4 stars out of 5

It was Great

Marlowe Glass calls it “A good read”

And thats how I see it Bye

This book is about a murderer that is on a ship and tried to murder 2 people but Max a teenage boy is not going to give up on trying to get the man. This mystery is a good one and at most parts they start talking about boring stuff bet then it gets really good.

          At some parts you might feel like putting the book down but keep going. Like don’t judge a book by it’s cover, but it goes a little into the book. It’s a good book other than that.

       People would like this book if they liked mysteries. If you want to read this book don’t do it in bed.

I would give this book 4****.
