Eona

The sequel to the book Eon, about a girl warrior masquerading as a boy in ancient Asia, then chosen to be a Dragoneye, the highest rank below Emperor in the land, this book is about Eona's story after the truth that instead of being Lord Eon, she is Lady Eona. The High Lord Sethon, taking advantage of the uproar following her confession, has seized the Empire, slaughtered the Emperor and his wife and killed all of the rightful heirs... except the crown prince, who has managed to escape to the mountains bordering the land. Rumor is that the prince and rightful Emperor is slowly building a resistance force against the false king, and Eona wants to join it. Since the other ten Dragoneyes were killed the night of the takeover, she now has the power of eleven god-like dragons at her command. This makes her a great tool for the resistance... but also a great tool to destroy anyone who crosses Sethon. With the Empires soldiers hunting her and her friends night and day, the journey to mountains is proving difficult and dangerous. For what no one knows is that Eona can not control her new found power... and that she's far more likely to accidentally kill everyone in the Empire than bring down a corrupt Emperor.

The Witches of Friars Lantern

By Sandra Forrester, this is a book that meant for an age range of 8-12 years old. I say meant for. Which means that basically it's good for anybody. It's about a girl named Beatrice Bailey. She has to break a spell created by Dally Rumpe, an evil sorcerer whose taken over the world. There are five books in this series, and this is the second one. It's a decent book, not extremely good, but not very bad either. It's like the peanut butter in a peanut butter and fluff sandwich. It's just there so it can be called a peanut butter and fluff sandwich, not a fluff sandwich, because then we can fool ourselves into thinking that it's not that bad for us. It's just a there book that you might as well read because it's there.

Secret Army

If you like Britain, history, spies and books where the main characters are teenagers, you'll like this book. Set in 1941, England is in war.

His life was then saved by these same children, along with an incredible victory for Britain at the hands of the latter. Now, back in the world of pompous bureaucrats and crooked politicians whose most realistic experience with war is sitting in stuffy meetings while an officer covered in glittering medals announces war tactics that seem to be in a different language, Henderson's last chance to promote his idea of using child spies rests on one man. A particularly pretentious administrator,  Air Vice Marshall Walker married into his position and has accumulated a deep and abiding hatred for Henderson over the years, which began when Henderson punched him so hard he was in the hospital for two days. Now, it's up to PT, Rosie, Marc, Troy, Paul and Joel to save the beginnings of CHERUB (Charles Henderson's Espionage Research Unit B) before the malicious Walker brings the group crashing to the ground.
