Hoot

The book Hoot written by Carl Hiaasen is a great book. I recommand this book for ages 8 and up. This book is wonderful for advanced readers. It has lots of action and it's very exciting. This book is about a kid named Roy Eberhardt who has just moved to Florida. While at Florida he has many adventures and discovers some strange mysteries. I hope you enjoy this book.

ARTEMIS FOWL: THE LOST COLONY

Eoin Colfer is the author of many books, the most famous probably being the Artemis Fowl series. This set of books currently has 5 novels published. The Lost Colony is the newest.

Artemis Fowl is a 13 year old boy. However, he is not ordinary. He is a genius, and has previously come up with different schemes involving him with a race of faeries that live underground. In this book, he has a calculation that involves him with a new race that is even less friendly than the faeires: goblins. These scaly creatures start appearing in certain places for no more than a few seconds. What is happening? Read the book to find out!

ALEX RIDER: STORMBREAKER

The Alex Rider series is written by a guy called Anthony Horowitz. Apparently he is a director and producer, along with being an author. Stormbreaker is one of his most famous books, mainly because it is first in the Alex Rider series and because it was just made into a movie.

Stormbreaker is a book about a teenage spy called Alex Rider. After his uncle dies mysteriously, he is recruited by MI6, the British spy agency. They want him to investigate Herod Sayle, a billionaire, and his new line of computers called the Stormbreaker. Read this book to find out what happens at Sayle's mansion.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes James Bond and all that stuff.
