Explorer Academy is about a boy named Cruz Coronado that gets invited to an elite explorer school. Though, his mom died when he was 6 years old when his mom was working at Explorer Academy to help establish the Synthesis, a top secret lab. Though during that an accident occurred… a fire. Some people made it out but sadly Petra (Cruz’s mom) did not make it out. Later in the book Cruz gets informed that the so-called “accident” wasn’t so accidental. Was it for revenge? Now Cruz is trying to complete his mothers mission, but someone is trying to stop him. This 7 book series is an exciting, cliffhanger story. We highly suggest this book. It’s full of mysteries and you will love to solve secret codes in all of their books.

Warrior Cats Book Review
By Ariana P.
If you love cats and you're looking for a good book to read I definitely recommend Warrior Cats by Erin Hunter!
Warrior Cats might not be the best for young kids that can’t handle blood and more like that! If you're very sensitive I don't recommend reading this book!
Preview: A young cat named Rusty lived with his owner near a forest. One night Rusty had a dream about himself trying to catch a mouse in the forest. He decided to check out the forest a bit after the dream. Once he got in the forest, Rusty stumbled upon another cat! At first, the strange cat attacked Rusty and Rusty fought back. When the fight ended, another cat asked Rusty to come and join them in the clans or stay with his “twolegs”(Owners.) And obviously he chose clan life, or there would be no story! Rusty soon gets his apprentice name as Firepaw, by the clan's leader, Bluestar.
Warrior Cats Book Review (Continued)
Read the book to find out what happens to Firepaw!
More about the series: There are many books of this series to enjoy, as well as books about individual characters inside the books. This series has fighting, love, and me personally it’s very enjoyable! I love this series because of the way they describe everything in the books and the actions they chose for all of the characters.
Reading level: I think the books are rather hard for some people because it has over 300 pages in most of the books as well as many ‘hard’ words. If you read books with about a 5th-6th grade reading level then this book will most likely be for you!
This is why I recommend it and why you should (or shouldn't) try it for yourself!

What is Thanksgiving in Eritrea?
By Lilliana S.
Have you ever celebrated Thanksgiving, The eritrean way? Well if you haven't don’t worry because i’m going to tell you exactly what it’s like. Firstly, we plan really early to get everything ready to make food, decorations and the tukey. We also make injera. Which is a bread that goes with a special type of sauce and if its a fancy type of sauce it might have meat in it! We also keep it simple with a turkey. Finally, we love to dress up in the traditional style!
November 12-18 is Anti-Bullying week! If you are being bullied here is some things you should do if it continues.
