I really enjoyed The Mysterious Benedict Society. It was interesting, funny, and very exiting. The book is easy reading, so even though the book is over 400 pages, it's not hard to read it quickly. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes to read, and I give it a 7 out of 10.

All of the clues lead to Phil as being the thief, but naturally, Joe and Frank discover the real thieves, who include Dr. Michael's assistant. They also figured out that Dr, Michaels wasn't bit by the Tiger snake, but was hit with a dart filled with poisonous venom milked from a different snake. This is one of the later Hardy Boys books which is written in a different style and with more action than the original books.

I am David

I am David by Anne Holm is the gripping tale of a 12 year old boy named David. After being kept in a concentration camp for most of his life, David is helped to escape, and told to head north to Denmark and freedom. But because he had been in captivity so long, David did not know about many normal things that we take for granted. Because the only food he could remember eating was dry bread and oatmeal, David did not know what foods were safe to eat. And because the concentration camp was such a sad, dreary place, David did not know how to smile. But even through all of this, David has a spirit of courtesy and decency that no one would have expected. On his journey, he learns to enjoy life, to revere beauty, and even falls in love.

Although this book was originally written for children ages 9-13, it is a tale that holds inspiration and lessons for people of any age. For example, David's simple faith and trust in God, even though he'd never been taught about them, were encouraging to me. On a scale of 1-10 I give this book an 8, and I say that you must read it!
