Nightmare at the Bookfair by Dan Gutman

 Trip Dinkleman wants to try out for lacrosse but gets called into the school book fair by a teacher to help set up. When all of a sudden a book hits him in the head, Trip dreams about him and the whole school in all the books. In every chapter, he is a character in a different well-known book.
I liked the book because it was fun to read and I felt like I was in the story. I would recommend this book to people who have a good imagination. This book is really interesting because Trip goes through all the genres you could think of. I think this book is a great book by Dan Gutman. I'm really glad I read it and you will be too.

Demonkeeper by Royce Buckingham

 This book is about a boy named Sam who inherits three demons that he has to tame and take care of. But there's a demon in his basement that no one can tame...
This is a book about responsibility because Sam has to take care of the demons. It is about taking good care of things. I thought it was a good book because it has action, humor, and romance.
