Just like the other great books in this series, Kid Activists reminds us that we don't have to be a somebody to make a difference in the world. This book contains stories of some important and influential activists when they were kids. You'll enjoy learning about the small differences they made as kids that later turned out to make a huge difference in their world. I like some of the other books in this series better than this one but that doesn't mean that this one is good too.

Ronan Boyle has just discovered that leprechauns do indeed exist and they are not very nice. After his parents are wrongly put in jail, Ronan Boyle joins the Irish Garda, a police force tasked with keeping the magical creatures in line with the humans. While on the Garda, Ronan also tries to get evidence to prove his parents are innocent. This book was okay. I wouldn't recommend it for younger grades because I think it mentions drinking too much, and some of the Irish words weren't translated so it made it a little hard to read. Besides that, the book felt fun and magical and I liked the twist on mythical creatures a lot better than any of the other books I have read.

How do you become a legend? That's the question that Caitlyn Breen must answer when she moves to rural Mitchell, Vermont and finds out that her class (of 10 ) isn't happy about her replacing their most beloved peer, Paulie Fink. Paulie was something different to everybody-awesome, class clown, evil genius- but everybody agrees that Caitlyn definitely is not a good replacement. So they decide to hold a reality-show kind of competition to replace Paulie. As the judge, because she's never met him, Caitlyn struggles to learn who Paulie was but ends up learning more about herself. I really like this book, and recommend it to everyone. Thanks to the Advanced Reading Club and DOGO for giving me the awesome opportunity to read it.

There is a legend in Cliffs Donnelly that the old Thompkins well grants wishes. Too bad it's just folklore because the small town could use some extra miracles. Then amazingly the wishes start to come true, but not in the normal way. This book was really fun to read the only thing I didn't like about it was that I felt it was a little hard to keep track of all the characters in the book. Other than that I thought it was a great story and it put a new spin on the steryotype wishing well magic.
