Animorphs



Animorphs

K.A.Applegate

***

The Animorphs have always been an awesome group together, but once the newest Animorph joins they all start to break up. This guy needs to learn how to stop controlling people, and not always pretending that he's the right, and cool one. Although the Animorphs know that time is running out quickly they don't know what to do with him.

But all of them can't work together it just won't work, and they also can't upset him, because he's not only an Animorph, but he's dangerous, I'm talking about deadly dangerous like a very deadly poisonous snake!!! What do you think they should? I mean he will help them win against the battle, but they just can’t cooperate with him, and teamwork is already out of their dictionary!!!

Nancy Drew (The Bike Tour)

Nancy Drew (The Bike Tour)
Carolyn Keene
****
Nancy, Bess and George are all geared up for a bike tour in Ireland. They're looking forward to spectacular scenery, romantic ruins,local entertainment, and, at the end of the day, cozy inns to welcome them. But it isn't long before the three friends realize that they're riding with danger.
From the moment they arrive at the airport, someone seems to be targeting the tour members, especially the two teen sisters from Australia. Even worse, not all the cyclists are what they appear to be. As the group bikes along sheep-filled roads and steep seaside cliffs, the menace mounts. Nancy knows that if she makes one wrong she'll be on a detour to disaster!

The Roar of the Crowd


The Roar of the Crowd
Rich Wallace
***

This book is about a boy named Manny, and he's starting his VERY FIRST football season at the age of 12. And at age 12 there are a lot of tough guys who will just ram in to you like you're a piece of broccoli, and every boy hates broccoli.

And the worst thing is that Manny is like a small plastic pole that anyone can knock over. And when the coaches see what he does, they always turn and frown at each other, this isn't good… Especially when the team starts losing badly, very badly.

But Manny refuses to give up, and become a loser again. This is a really good book for people who want to be athletes. Any athletes this is how you build confidence in your self. Like me, I'm the only girl on the team, and I still don't quit, because I'm playing soccer for me, only me, no one else. And after 6 years I've gotten pretty good at it, and am very satisfied of how well I've improved over the years.

Dinosaurs

Can you imagine a world in which palm trees grew in Alaska and there were coral reefs in the mountains of Canada? Well, the world of the dinosaurs was much warmer than it is today and the climate suited them perfectly. Many different types of dinosaurs lived together, from the Brachiosaurus (as tall as a four-storey building and heavier than ten adult elephants) to dinosaurs no bigger than a chicken.
Some of these were ferocious meat-eaters and some were gentle giants that ate only plants. Over millions of years the landscape changed and so did the creatures that roamed the land. And then, the dinosaurs died out! What happened to them? Do you have any theories? But what if there was still one left alive and you were lucky enough to keep a baby dinosaur as a pet?

Planes


Planes
Investigate(Company)
***
Have you ever wondered how scary it must have been flying in the flimsy planes built at the beginning of the twentieth century? Plane trips are quite common today, but in days gone by this form of travel was unbelievable. Unlocking the secrets of flight was a lifelong goal of pioneers such as the Wright Brothers, and modern day explorers break new boundaries in the space shuttle.

This book shows you the old and the new: from the inventions of George Cayley and Lawrence Hargrave and the first hot air balloons to the planes used in both world wars, to stealth fighters and trips beyond Earth. And it even provides handy hints for those of you who want to keep a Harrier jump jet in your family garage!

Racing Cars

For as long as there have been cars, people have wanted to race them. Motor racing takes many forms, from children's go-karts to souped-up family cars and racing trucks, to the exciting world of Formula 1 racing. The name 'Ferrari' makes people think of the famous original red racer, but what do the latest Ferrari's look like?

Do they come in colors other than red? The thrill and action of racing is captured in the detailed pictures in this book, such as a close-up view of a racing car cockpit and engine. Other spreads show how to modify the family car so you can race it on a track, what happens at a pit stop, new safety features for track drivers and much, much more. And what about the problems you'd face if you took your Formula 1 car to the supermarket?
