__The Throne Of Fire__

This book is about two teenagers that have to stop Apophis before he swallows the sun. Sadie and Carter are the two teenagers that have to stop him. Carter and Sadie are expert magicians. Carter's best magic is summoning Horuses avatar to help him defeat his enemies. Sadie's best magic is hyroglyphs. She uses these to blow up things and to defeat her enemies.

I really liked this book. My favorite part is when Sadie and Carter fell into the lake of fire. Sadie is my favorite of the two because I like how she summons the hyroglphs. I like how she does it because there are so many symbols. It's like a whole new language!

I would recommend this book to kids who like adventure and like to learn about the Egyptian gods. It's a great book chapter book for kids from 9-13 years old.

__The London Eye Mystery__ By Siobham Dowd

This mystery book is about a pair of siblings named Ted and Kat. Their cousin Salim came for a short visit before going to NY City with his mom. Since Salim loves tall buildings, they went to the London Eye. A stranger offered them a free ticket. They took it and got in line. Salim went up alone, but when his pod came down he wasn't in it! Kat and Ted try to find out what happened to Salim, but since the police have already given up, it is up to them to find him.The whole family is frantic! Ted and Kat are searching everywhere for Salim, but they just can't find him. When they go somewhere together they always pick up clues.For example, when they were just sitting in Ted's room and looking at pics that Salim took before he dissapeared, they found the stranger that gave them the ticket! Will they find him? Is he dead on the streets of London? Read this book to find out these answers.

This was one of my favorite books to read and discuss! I really liked the character Ted because he is a very smart kid. He loves the weather and predicts whats going to happen later that day. For example, when Ted and Kat's father took them to the eye to envestigate Ted knew there would be a thunder and lightning storm, but didn't tell anyone because nobody listens to him. Everyone calls him a geek. This reminded me of when my mom used to turn on the news years ago and I used to sit there and watch the news for hours just to see a weather girl talk. Of course I don't do that anymore, but when my mom told me that I used to do that I laughed! Although I have never been to the eye, it sounds like a fun amusement park. I bet Ted would be your favorite character too!

I would recommend this book to people who love mystery and adventure. This book is also a little historical. People from the ages 9-12 should be able to read this book and enjoy it as much as I did. You can buy or borrow this book from a friend or a library. You can buy this book at a store like Barnes and Nobles, or any book store that sells books.I hope you like the book if you get it!
