  The Silver Eyes is mostly based off of the first three games of Five Nights at Freddy’s. For those who don’t know, Five Nights at Freddy’s is this horror game franchise created by Scott Cawthon. The basics of the first three games is that you are a nighttime security guard working at different locations within Freddy Fazbear’s company. While they work just fine in the daytime, the animatronics there can become a little quirky at night. Your goal is to survive each night with limited power and animatronics who are on the hunt for you.  Even though the original book is a novel, they did a great job of creating it as a graphic novel. The art is amazing and really shows the details of Freddy, Bonnie, and the rest of the crew. While the plot can be a little confusing at times, you can still make sense of what's happening. You can see where the plot of the book uses lore from the games and where its entirely new concepts. The book stars Charlie who with her friends, decide to check out

  SPOILER WARNING Summary: This book, like most of the Harry Potter books, starts over the summer with his aunt and uncle who want nothing to do with him. As he is kicked out of the house for using magic and blowing up his other aunt he is informed that there is a killer that has escaped from the most secure magical prison in the world, Azkaban.

  This book is a short, simple and fun read that lets you get to know Pusheen and her family. Each part is pretty short and about a different aspect of her life. From things to know about cats, to how to live, this book goes into all the fun parts of her life. Each page is fun, colorful, and drawn in a simple cute style.         I first discovered this book at our school's book fair in third grade. After looking through a few pages and deciding it looked like a good book to get it. However, the book I was looking at was the last copy so I had to order it online. It arrived a few weeks later and I read it and loved it.  I like how this book mixes up the content inside by switching from cute little stories to fun pictures of Pusheen and repeating the process.          Since the book came out, Pusheen has gained a massive amount of popularity and she now has a website that has fun things that include quizzes, comics and merchandise! She's also done a few collaborations with other
