Ricky Ricotta's Mighty Robot by Dav Pilkey

This series is about a mouse named Ricky and his Robot. Ricky and his Robot have many adventures like The Mecha-Monkeys from Mars, The Voodoo Vultures from Venus and The Un-Pleasant Penguins from Pluto plus many more. All titles are alliterations. You don't have to read the series in order,but I would. This is one of the first series I read and I enjoy it because you learn about the planets. I also like the robot.

Ancient Rome:An Interactive History Adventure

I liked this book. It has real events that happened in Rome, but it's made so you can choose what the story is. For example, when Julius Caesar dies you get to choose if you want to join the plot or if you want to stay out. I like that there are some real events and some imaginary events. It also has a time line, a glossary and "other paths to explore"(more information about Rome).

The Serpent's Shadow

The main characters are Carter and Sadie. It took place in the present .The setting is Brooklyn but they used port holes to go many places. They are in their nome studying. Apophis is rising and the House of Life is collapsing.Carter and Sadie take Apophis's shadow and force him into Duat. I love the book! There was a lot of suspense. I really like books by Rick Riordan. I like how his books are about mythological gods based in present day .
