The League of Unexceptional Children by Gitty Daneshvari My rating: 3 of 5 stars I have to say, I was with the kids for a while on this one, wondering if someone was just messing with them.

The Battle Begins by Tony Abbott My rating: 3 of 5 stars I'm really glad this book is the first in a series. I feel like it would have been really rushed if the whole story was in one book.

Ada Lace, on the Case
Ada Lace, on the Case by Emily Calandrelli My rating: 2 of 5 stars This is one of those books that I would have loved in elementary school. Reading it as an adult isn't the same thing.

Spy School
Spy School by Stuart Gibbs My rating: 3 of 5 stars I'm not going to lie, I've been reading these books out of order.

Bad Luck
Bad Luck by Pseudonymous Bosch My rating: 2 of 5 stars It's really hard for me to keep everything straight in this series. You never know from one moment to the next who is good and who is evil. In a way that's good, but I don't know. It makes it hard for me to … Continue reading Bad Luck
The Map to Everywhere
The Map to Everywhere by Carrie Ryan My rating: 3 of 5 stars This is one of those books that I randomly picked up at the library because the title sounded interesting.
