Hardy Boys: The Secret Panel by Franklin W. Dixon (212 pages)

 Summary 

This Hardy Boys' book is really action packed. The Hardys, sons of a private investigator, have a mystery of their own. They are involved with solving a case surrounding a museum robbery. They are convinced that the robbers are hiding in their hometown of Bayport. With the help of their friend, Chet, they are able to figure out the culprits.

Opinion 

Even though this was a good book, it was hard to understand because there were sections filled with lots of little details. However, if you read it slowly, you shouldn't have a problem. This book does have a few humorous sections, especially the part where the Hardys can't open the door to the boathouse because they are unable to find the keyhole. This gave me a good laugh. Overall, I think you will enjoy this book.

The Magic Misfits: The Fourth Suit by Neil Patrick Harris & Alec Azam (329 pages)

 Summary

This is the last of four books in The Magic Misfits series. You might want to read these books in order; this will help you understand the theme better. The plot of this particular book is that certain people are trying to harm the Magic Misfits and the Misfits realize that it is because of the villain, Kalagan. The four young Misfits have magical abilities and use them to defeat their enemies. 

 Opinion 

I'm giving this book 5 stars because it's theme is magical and I love magic. In between some chapters the author actually includes instructions for performing certain magic tricks. Also, since each book in this series centers around one member of the Magic Misfits, the author allows the reader to know that specific character very well. If you like magic, I am sure you will enjoy this book.

Opinion

I'm giving this book four stars because the one thing I don't like about it is that some parts are slow moving. This book has some really funny sections. I especially love that the author makes Fudge make his own "Fudge Bucks." I have a little brother and I can imagine him doing the same thing. I think you might enjoy this book if you have siblings.
