Hello, Riddlers. Can you guess our theme this week? An oldie, but goody, in observation of a very important place. ; ) ~ F
On the inside, I'm all about story. I hold great places and tell tales of glory. I keep you comfortable on your journey, you'll wrestle with words or place in a tourney.

I gave you a clue!

Is Serenity as Wonderful as it Seems?
The kids of Serenity,
New Mexico have the perfect lives. They all have pools, they all have video
games Their parents love and support them. Life is good. When Randy convinces Eli to ride their bikes across the
town border to see an old car he and his father discovered, Eli agrees, even
though he should ask his dad. When they get to the edge of town Eli gets
violently ill, and the police have to come in and helicopter him to safety. As
Eli recovers he finds out that Randy is being shipped off to his grandparent’s
farm. No one has ever moved away from Serenity before. This is weird enough,
but Randy’s strange behavior before he leaves gets Eli thinking, and he knows
Randy must've left him a message. This prompts Eli and a few friends to begin investigating.
But is Eli prepared for what's really going on in Serenity? Is there really
something different about eleven of the children that live there? And what
should they do with the information they discover? You'll be turning the
pages to find out!
I have read
other books by Gordon Korman and was looking forward to reading Masterminds. I didn't know much about it,
so I was pleasantly surprised by the unique plot twist. I've tried not
to give anything away so you can discover what's going on too. I really liked Eli, Amber, Malik, and all
the other characters whose story we got to hear. Each character has a different personality, and I could relate to all of them for various reasons. When I found out what was going on, I was
shocked! I kept thinking that the plans they uncovered were going off
the tracks and the consequences could be far-reaching. The book ended on a cliffhanger, which I wished could be different. Still, it
was an exciting read and the next book is out, so I plan on picking
it up soon. I just hope it doesn't end before I have more answers! I recommend this
to kids in fourth grade and up who like mystery and adventure. This was such an
interesting concept that I can’t wait to learn more and see where the story
goes.
Has anyone else
read Masterminds? Or have you read
another book by Gordon Korman? We'd love to hear your thoughts!
Happy reading!

Answer to Monday's Riddle: Design the Copy...
Excellent guessing, Riddlers! On SATURDAY this week, Lizzy's review will reveal repeating patterns. Friday, the Character Book Club meets. See you all around the book block. ; ) ~ F
A unique design makes up you. Copy that, now see two. An inside scoop brought the other, not the nature of a mother. More of the same made to order; a celestial grind in pestle and mortar.
What am I referring to? Answer: Clones.
