TEEN BOOK WARNING

This is my official TEEN BOOK warning. I have put it here so that you know about teen books. If you have read a one of my reviews of a teen book and feel like you want to try reading it, please read this. If you are just browsing my blog please read this. I want nothing to do with you getting in trouble for reading a book, so please refer here before blaming me for not waring you.
I review TEEN BOOKS. These books tend to deal with some slightly more mature themes and ideas that are not necessarily what your parent(s) (unless you are a parent, in which case you (Or you're a teacher in which case the parents of your students)) would want you to read. If the authority figure which may be your parent(s), the parents, or you the parent says go for it, have fun, or if you have any questions come to me etc., then fine by me go ahead but as the friendly blogger behind the screen I feel the need to present this information before I delve into the nitty-gritty-fun stuff.

Devlin Quick Into the Lion's Den by Linda Fairstein

YooHoo!
I got this book for Christmas, I thought "Why not? I'm tired of a Series of Unfortunate Events anyway." So a little background info on the author. Linda Fairstein is a former SVU officer. She now writes mystery books for adults. This is her first book for young adults.
So here is a lilliputian amount of information on the main characters.

  1. Devlin Quick: more commonly known as Dev. Daughter of the Police Commissioner of New York City
  2. Liza de Lucena: Dev's friend. She is the only witness to the crime. Foreign exchange student at Dev's school form Argentina. She is currently staying with Dev and her mom.
  3. Booker Dibble: Dev's best guy friend. Son of two surgeons. 
Dev, Liza, and Booker have to solve the theft of a page of a valuable book of maps from the New York Public Library. This leads into a whole string of thefts. Will Dev save the day or will the theif get away? Read the book to find out.
My recommendation for this book is seventh grade or above. IF the reader has a grade level of that range, they should know it has some suspense (like every good mystery) and a slight near death experience ('cause you know thieves don't like being discovered). My rating is 10 paw prints.🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 
Ta Ta for now my bibliophiles,

Series of Unfortunate Events Book the Fifth The Austere Academy by Lemony Snicket

I'm Baaack! I Know I've been awful about updating, but I got busy. One of my new years resolutions was to update more at least once if not twice a month.
So now on to business. After those awful incidents at Luck Smells the Baudelaires have to be sent to, Drum Roll please.... The Austere Academy.👏 Here we know that Count Olaf will show up at some point but maybe he can hold off a little while. Allow me to introduce you to the sub-villain of this book. The sub-villian is what I've christened the people like Sir. The sub-villain is, and another drum roll please, Nero! If you're a history nerd (like me), or have read the Sisters Grimm by Micheal Buckley (also me, I'm about as nerdy as they get) then you're probably thinking where have I heard Nero before? Quick history lesson he was a Roman Emperor. So maybe this time the Baudelaires will be happy. Who knows?
This book has my standard rating for The Series of Unfortunate Events. Fourth to Eighth graders or a person with a reading level there abouts. Not for people who have an attachment to the Disney© character Olaf
Farewell for now my bibliophiles,
Merlin:)
