This is a really nice book and you'll love it like I did. Young Mary Lennox is orphaned by an earthquake in India and sent to England to live with her uncle in a cold ancestral manor in Yorkshire. Mary briefly meets him, still mourning for his wife who died ten years ago, but she is mostly left on her own. A resourceful and inquisitive girl, she soon makes two exciting discoveries. First she finds an overgrown secret garden, the favorite of her aunt and locked up since her death. Second, that she has a cousin, Colin, a sickly boy who has been told he must remain in bed out of the daylight at all times. Once Mary and another new friend, Dickon, have brought the garden back to life they decide Colin must see it, a decision that will change several lives. Don't miss this book for anything.

I am a huge Riordan fan so I loved this book! This book introduces quite a few new characters and at first I was very disappointed due to the lack of Jackson action. But then I got really into the book and I have to confess that it's amazing! The new characters are innovative and original and I'm sure a lot of people can relate to them. I would definitely recommend this book for anyone with a taste for good literature!

How do you rid the Earth of seven billion humans? Rid the humans of their humanity. Surviving the first four waves was nearly impossible. Now Cassie Sullivan finds herself in a new world, a world in which the fundamental trust that binds us together is gone. As the 5th Wave rolls across the landscape, Cassie, Ben, and Ringer are forced to confront the Others’ ultimate goal: the extermination of the human race. Cassie and her friends haven’t seen the depths to which the Others will sink, nor have the Others seen the heights to which humanity will rise, in the ultimate battle between life and death, hope and despair, love and hate.

Given that this is Alex Scarrow’s debut venture into the world of science fiction/fantasy writing he doesn't make too bad of a job of it. The book (and I imagine any further books) centre around three main characters, Maddy, Liam and Sal, who are plucked from various different eras in time at the moment of their imminent deaths. A mysterious stranger appears before them, offering them the choice of either the end of their current lives, or the chance to live another. They soon find themselves whisked forward (and back) in time; recruited into a shadowy undercover op's team known as the "TimeRiders". After some very brief training, they are soon tasked with correcting anomalies in the timeline, created by future time travellers jumping back in time in attempts to try and change history to their own ends. Accompanied by a very "Terminator" like cloned operating unit, or " meat robot " named "Bob", and mentored by the mysterious stranger, Foster, this first book in a planned series centres around an attempt to change history by a man named Kruger, who jumps back in time and ensures that Hitler does not lose the Second World War, with disastrous consequences for all of future mankind. What happens now??? Read the book to find out!!!

Now, he and his friends have just ten days to find and return Zeus's stolen property and bring peace to a warring Mount Olympus. Series creator Rick Riordan joins forces with some of the biggest names in the comic book industry to tell the story of a boy who must unravel a treachery more powerful than the gods themselves.
