This book follows a boy that is housebound because of a accident in the dredge with his friend Sarah.
Now they cant talk to each other.
They sneak emails,texts, and notes to figure out the big secret about the dredge, and why so many people died by it.
Each chapter gets closer and closer as they reach the answer of Who did it?
I really liked this book because it was filled with suspense the WHOLE time I was reading it. I also like watching the videos as the passwords showed up in the book. The thing I did not like was that how stuff jumped around in the book. Except for that it was a VERY GoodRead!

I really enjoyed this book. I liked going into the world with Michael, Bob & Jennifer. Some of the plots were mixed up with other plots, and some plots were messed around with . Except for the plot mix-up and mess up I really enjoyed it. It had some mature & non-mature parts in the story. My favorite part was when Michael K. meet the SPHDZ, and they wanted him to become one! Cannot wait to read the next book!
Definitely a Good Read!
Definitely a Good Read!
Best up front book about food! You should really read it like right now!

RATING: 5 stars for Pigboy By: Vicki Grant
STARTED: APRIL 24,2014
FINISHED: APRIL 24,2014
REVIEW: Pigboy is great for anyone that enjoys suspense,humor, and action this book includes a wide variety of all three of them as it progresses. I enjoyed this book because it told the life saving story of Dan Hogg who saved all of his friends, and teachers from a criminal that just broke out of jail! I was on my feet the whole time waiting to see what would happen! I was hooked, and pulled in on this book as soon as I started reading it, and it is a very short book, but better that most I have read lately! I thought I would not like Pigboy as much by looking at the cover, and the title but when I read the synopsis I was like WOW, and I read it in one day! A very addicting short story book that you probably cannot put down!

REVIEW: I really enjoyed this book, but rated it 2 stars here is why, I never found out who's point of view the book was written in because it never specified it. Also, the plot was bland as I thought I needed some more from the story then what you gave me. I also thought this book would aim to middle schoolers, which I am and it certainly did not. I think this book would have been better for a younger audience rather than a more maturing audience. I decided to read this book as I am receiving the third one in the series due to winning it in a First-Reads giveaway I hope the series gets better as the amount of books increase.

Bake Sale was about a cupcake going through a hard time with a bakery, raising money for a trip, and the band. I did not like the idea of a the plants, and other plants eating the bread with (zucchini) and also it was close to a cannibalistic setting. With the plants, and others eating each other. Also, this book was very short, and I didnt have time to catch on or even hook to the plot.
