I was debating on whether or not to do a review on Something Special because I wasn’t sure how to describe it without giving the ending away; but decided to do a short one! The illustrations in this book were fabulous, endearing, and imaginative. The main character is a frog which fits the secret something perfectly. This book is well worth your time so check it out! It is definitely one I want to add to my personal collection and I think you will fall in love with it as well!
Intermediate Mystery books are a gold mine. High-low books refer to titles that are of high interest to readers, but contain low level vocabulary. These titles are clever, action-packed, and have several books in the series to keep the mystery alive. These intermediate mystery books are the first in their series and are sure to appease any mystery loving reader. The Ghost Tree Written by Natasha Deen Illustrated by Lissy Marlin New York: Random House Children's Books, 2022. Intermediate. 95 pages. With a dash of paranormal mixed with mystery, this book introduces Asim, a Guyanese American fourth grader who moves to a new town. After a visit to a graveyard, an evil spirit is unleashed. Asim works with new friends, Rokshar and Max, to save their town. With scarily cool illustrations to accompany this text, this book is great for any amateur sleuths who love a touch of creepy.
