Horrible Geography:Earth-Shattering Earthquakes

This is another really great book by Anita Generi that will shake your world! All you need to know about earthquakes and if you need to ask anything just ask the Sid the seismologist. It also tells you where all the shaky ground is and how the earthquakes occur.  Did you know that the Richter scale only goes up to eight so they have to use a different type of measurement.  In China about one hundred years ago there was a estimated 9.5!!  This is a real cool horrible geography that I really recommend.

Geronimo Stilton:Paws off, Chedderface


This book is about a mouse called Geronimo Stilton. He is the famous publisher of the Rodents' Gazette. He is also the author of the book. There is a whole series of this book. At the start there are all these mice that are acting like they've met him before and everyone is acting strangely around him. But the thing is that he has never ever met them before. When he tries to explain but then even his sister thinks he's insane! They go to a performance and guess whose on the stage? That's right Geronimo Stilton! Completely the same as the real one and his sister and he goes on a wild goose chase trying catch him. This is a real good story for medium level readers.
