Half Moon By: Eoin Colfer

Definitely five stars. Fletcher Moon is a twelve-year-old detective who graduated at the top of his online detective school, using his dad's birth certificate. (They have the same name.) Fletcher's nickname is Half Moon. Half Moon gets a false case (they learn later) from April Depruxeur about missing pop star hair. Everything in Half Moon's life is ok, until he gets this. Then he gets assaulted by an unknown attacker, and wakes up in the hospital with a doctor who thinks he's a baby. Even though Half Moon is still light-headed, he stumbles into the bathroom and takes off the cast on his arm. (He also had to get a nose splint and had lots of bruises on his whole face.) He saw that, on his bruise, were indents of initials of the hurl that hit him. R.E.D. Red Sharkey would be the supposed attacker, right? That's what Half Moon thinks. But if he is, why is Red breaking him out of custody? So Half Moon takes a chance and lets Red lead him to the Sharkey's house. Fletcher Moon is now Watson Sharkey, family to a bunch of criminals. Red's different, though, he'd rather read than rob, and his family knows it. Now Half Moon has twenty-four hours prove he didn't break into May's house (May is April's cousin) and steal other things from various people. While discovering who did what, he learns about himself and, for once, makes an unlikely friendship with the toughest kid in school. Without doubt, you should read this book!

Ruler of the Realm By: Herbie Brennan

This is my first book review. I would rate Ruler of the Realm a five because it has a lot of action, yet things calm down enough near the very, very end for some romance. The young fairy queen Holly Blue is caught between trusting her evil uncle Hairstreak in an alliance between the Fairies of the Light and the Fairies of the Night, or letting the realm fall into the hands of the demons. She really needs the help of her mortal friend Henry, but he's at home thinking he could be crazy because of stress between his mother and father's divorce. He tries to forget everything, but when he's walking home from his friend's house, he turns around and gets pulled into a mysterious blue light coming from a spacecraft like a U.F.O. Mr. Foggarty transports Henry into the Realm, and learns that, not only was Henry implanted, so was Blue. The demons want to take over the realm by having Blue be able to do whatever they command, but it falls apart when Henry tries to rescue her and gets badly injured by the demons. She sees this and cuts the demon's head off, rescues Henry, finds out they both are madly in love with each other (which burnt the indestructible implant in her), and her uncle abdicates from fighting. It was a perfect ending to a perfect book. I would read it if I were you!
