Evil Spy School is only the 3rd installment of the Spy School series, but this book is so amazing. It goes into detail so much, it makes you feel as if you are actually in the Spy School! Another reason I love this book is that the characters in the book are so amazing and all have their own personality, and aren’t just irrelevant.

Anthem is an intriguing story that supports the idea of individualism. This story takes you through the life of a rebellious character living in a dystopian future society. This society is restricted and limited to an uncountable list of laws and regulations. Upon seeing how free they could truly be and what the world was actually like, the character felt a sense of happiness and joy, but also betrayal as they had been lied to.

Ski Spy School is the 4th inclusion to the Spy School series by Stuart Gibbs. Let me just start off by saying that this book is a story that checks off all the genres: thriller, mystery, romance, action, you name it! The tale also is very unpredictable, and many different things can go haywire in the blink of an eye.

The Crucible

The Crucible is an incredible play following the Salem Witch Trials. It follows the experiences of the accused and the accusers during the trials. It draws implicit comparisons to other witchhunts seen throughout history, such as McCarthyism. Miller expertly draws these comparisons without saying anything explicitly. Characters such as Abigail, Reverend Hale, and John Proctor create an engaging cast. Anybody with a love of theater and history should read this masterpiece of a play.
