Curse of the Blue Tattoo
L.A Meyer
Mary "Jacky" Faber has been booted off of the British naval ship the Dolphin and sent to the Lawson Peabody School For Young Girls in the hope that she will become a fine lady. But becoming a lady is a lot harder than Jacky thought. She manages to get into a fight with one of the ladies and thrown in jail. However not all is well at the Lawson Peabody, the Preacher at the church is suspected of murdering a serving girl and it is up to Jacky to make him confess. And Jacky's friend Amy is going through some hard times at her farm but Jacky has a plan to make everything go back to normal. Proving that even a fine lady can get into trouble.
This remains one of my favorite book series. The adventures of Jacky Faber will bring smiles to the faces of the entire family. My favorite part of the book is when Jacky teases Lord Randall into chasing her and has him fall on top of her in front of his fiance. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes adventure stories and books with strong female leads.

Mystery
Veritas Project: Hangman's Curse
Frank Peretti
The Springfield family are going undercover in order to help out the FBI with a strange case at a local high school. Several of the high school's star football players have gone insane and the rumor around school is that it is the ghost of "Able Frye" a student that hanged himself in the school. Elijah and Elisha the two kids go undercover as students and their parents as staff. But as they dive into the legends and secrets of the school they find out the cause of the problems may not be what they thought.
This book was very suspenseful and kept me hanging on every word. My favorite part was when Elijah beat up the bully that was picking on another student. I would recommend this book to teens and adults who like mysteries. Children should not read this book because the ending is pretty scary.

Sci-fi
The Mammoth Book of SteamPunk
Sean Wallace
This book is a variety of different short stories written by various authors. They are filled with robots, airships, and maybe just a touch of magic.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes machines and science. This is more of a book for teenagers and adults because there are some parts that are a little bit inappropriate. However some of these stories are very good and exciting and I enjoyed every page of it.

Susan Veness
Have you ever been to Disney World? Well even if you have never been to Disney World or any of the Disney parks you should still check out this book. In between the covers of this book are over 600 secrets about some of the most popular Disney parks. Along with the facts this book gives you facts from each parks history and the rides that they have.
This book was very interesting and informative. I learned a lot of things from this book that I did not know. For instance I learned that at Disney's Animal Kingdom some of the animals at the park are actually real animals and they are trained to recognize certain sound ques in order to go about their normal day. I would recommend this book to any one who has been to the Disney parks and wants to get some insider knowledge and to people who are going so that they can look for the little things that most people do not see when they go the parks.
