In this album the songs I like are: Dancing Queen, Knowing Me Knowing You, Take A Chance On Me, Mamma Mia, Super Trouper, I Have A Dream, Money Money Money, S.O.S., Chiquitita, Fernando, One Of Us, The Name Of The Game, Thank You For The Music, and Waterloo.

Book of the Month

Michael Vey: The Prisoner of Cell 25 (book 1) By Richard Paul Evans

This is a very Fascinating  book! It’s about a kid named Michael Vey, but he is not an ordinary kid, he is electric. Our mom bought us this book and my brother and I weren’t interested in it at first, until we started reading it, It was so intense and exhilarating. My brother, who doesn’t read much, loved this book. We both read it in a couple days and we couldn’t wait for the next book in the series to come out. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves adventures and mysteries. I had never heard of the author Richard Paul Evans until “Michael Vey” came out. It is a very fast read, you can watch the video below to get an idea of the book. I wish I had seen it before I started reading the book. The second book came out last summer and the third is due this fall.
