H.I.V.E.: Higher Institute of Villainous Education

H.I.V.E.: Higher Institute of Villainous Education by Mark Walden

Charming "villains"; but
Little Shop of Horrors twist
almost makes it tank.

[Still...I will definitely read the next one! The characters were well done...the plot...well, judge for yourself.]

The Mysterious Benedict Society, by Trenton Lee Stewart

Reviewku:

Though reminiscent
of Snicket, Benedict kids
cleverly solve clues

[and save the day, of course! definitely worth all 486 pages...]
