He said that he had read this book when he was my age so I took it into consideration. When I started reading it, the beginning didn't make to much sense to me, but after a while I realized what a genius Robert C. O'Brien is. It has a great plot structure, lots of interesting characters, and many surprises that will blow your mind away. Every night, I would sit in my bed wondering what was going to happen next. Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh is truly a book that will give you a reason to read.

This story is about a kid named Hugo Cabret who's dad died in a fire at a museum in Paris, France.

He has been taking parts the toys at the toy booth down below. When the man that works at the toy booth catches him stealing some toys, he confiscates his notebook and goes home to burn it. Hugo needs to get that notebook back so he can complete his automaton. I really thought that this book had an amazing plot structure. It had great ideas and I think that Brian Selznick did a great job by putting those ideas into words that flow well. Within the book there are many pictures that give clues to what the automaton does and to what majority of the book is about. If you like books with a mystery involved in the plot with lots of love and compassion for what you believe in, this is the book for you.

This book is about a young boy named Percy who has always had trouble in school and has had some anger management issues. When Percy unleashes strange and unusual powers, he is taken to Camp Half-Blood. Within the camp, he learns things about himself that will blow your mind. Personally, I thought that this book was a very well written book with lots of movement flowing throughout the book. There was lots of action, suspense, and heroic and epic endings. There were some negatives though. Within the time when Percy learns who he really is, the author can be unclear when explaining things. Altogether, I would give this book five stars.
