The Indispensable Calvin And Hobbes

This is a great comic book by Bill Watterson. It is about a boy named Calvin and his stuffed tiger friend Hobbes who can talk. In the comic the two have all kinds of adventures and also cause a lot of mischief. Usually most of Calvin's pranks are aimed on his teachers, parents, classmates, and most of all a girl named Susie Derkins. All together I have loved this comic book and most boys age 8-12 probably would to. Goodbye and Happy Reading!

Trapped In Ice

This book is about a mother and her two children Andrew and Helen going on a expedition to a research station on Herschel Island in the Yukon. Eventually though the ship stops because of ice so there stranded. In the end the crew members split up with the leader of the expedition leaving to Herschel Island, two other people trying to get to Alaska, and the rest going to Wrangell's Island near The country of Russia. Helen and her family are saved by a whaling ship while the rest had other consequences. Altogether I thought this book was great, exciting, tension raising, and sometimes even funny. I would recommend this for kids 9-12 the most. Goodbye and Happy Reading.
