Space Case by Stuart Gibbs

This book is called Space Case by Stuart Gibbs. The genre is science fiction and mystery. It is about Dashiell Gibson who is a kid that was sent up to space. He is one of the first kids to go up into space on a colonization mission. But everything is terrible and boring. That is until Dr. Holtz is found dead. Everyone thinks it’s an accident but Dash thinks it's murder. I liked the book because it was very mysterious and you never know what will happen. My favorite part is when Dash fights the big robot arm things. If you like mystery and suspense I recommend this book.--Reviewed by Milo V.

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: A Scandal in Bohemia

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: A Scandal in Bohemia is the first of the 12 stories in
this mystery. The book is about how Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson try and solve a mystery

daughter of the King of Scandinavia in a few days, yet something haunts and worries him.
Five years ago he made a lengthy trip to Warsaw and made the acquaintance of a woman

photograph together. Now, Irene threatens to send the picture to the King of Scandinavia
