The Soldiers of Halla by D.J MacHale (reviwed by Bear Schact)

I have enjoyed the other books in the Pendragon series a lot, and The Soldiers of Halla was no different. Besides the story, which I thought was good, the writing style and pacing was very engaging and easy to understand. It had been awhile since I read the ninth book, so I had forgotten how much needed to be tied up and explained, and this book explained everything about the travelers and visited several territories of Halla. It was pretty cool to see them again, even if they were all messed up by Saint Dane. I would recommend the Pendragon series to just about any fiction fan, as it is possibly my second favorite book series after Harry Potter.

This book ends the thrilling Sabriel trilogy. Lirael is now Abhorsen, commanding life and death with her magical set of bells. With Sam’s help, she must prevent the most terrible of things from happening, and save Sam’s normal friend! Hoards of the dead have been called and the final battle nears. Nick, Sam’s friend, has a dream of a Lightning Farm, but it’s not very benign! Sam must muster his courage and stand with the others against the greatest evil our heroes have faced yet!

Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer (reviewed by Lauren TenCate)

Artemis Fowl is perhaps one of my favorite books. In it, 12 year old boy genius and master mind Artemis Fowl plans to restore his family fortune by kidnapping a fairy and holding them for ransom. Oddly enough, Artemis succeeds in his plan but the fairies are smart too. They get a kleptomaniac tunnel dwarf named Mulch to break into Fowl Manor (where Artemis lives) and steal the fairy out. Unfortunately, Holly (the fairy who was kidnapped) can’t leave because she is under orders not to. (and if a fairy breaks orders they lose their magic.) It’s a very interesting book and it’s funny too. I thought it was a great book, if a little outlandish.
