Catching fire, the second book in The Hunger Games Series is a great Dystopian book by Suzanne Collins. The main characters in this book are Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark. They had many adventures and ran into many problems such as getting re chosen for the 75th Hunger Games. The two of them from District 12 out of 12 districts re enter the games with many allies. My favorite Character is Katniss because of all the problems she overcomes, her bravery, and I love the way she thinks.
ReplyDeleteThis by far is my favorite book i have ever read i just love it. I think anyone who is capable of reading it should because it is just so interesting. My favorite part of the book is the ending because it just makes you want to read more. I do not have a least favorite part in the book because something is always going on. I think anyone who reads it will think the same about it as i do.
I strongly recommend this book and the whole Hunger Games Series to other people to all kinds
of readers even people who do not like reading, I guarantee you will will like this book.
Good book this book sounds better than the movie

DeleteLooking for Alaska
ReplyDeleteBy John Green
In the heart-warming realistic fiction, Looking for Alaska by John Green, there’s a boy named Miles Halter, also known as “Pudge”, who is moving to a private school called Culver Creek. There he meets his new best friends “Chip”, Takumi, Lara and the beautiful mysterious love of his life. Alaska Young. Pudge has a talent of memorizing famous peoples last words and has moved on from his safe life at home and becomes the total opposite to seek the “Great Perhaps” (François Rabelais, poet). Alaska and the boys are always trying to pull off a new prank, but have to do it without getting caught by the school dean ”The Eagle”. Pudge and Alaska have an exciting weird relationship, and he tries to make the first move but is frightened Alaska’s boyfriend might come at him. The night after they pull of a tremendous prank, something goes wrong with Alaska. She leaves not telling anyone and never comes back. Is she dead or is it just another one of her pranks? You’ll have to read to find out.
Looking for Alaska is one of my favorite books because it has a mysterious twist in it and just don’t want to stop reading it. My favorite character has to be Alaska. She is that rebel girl everyone loves and has a very mysterious personal life you’ll want to find out more about. This book is a great book to read if you’re into mysteries or crazy love stories. I’m a huge John Green fan and there might be some of you who won’t really be interested in this novel, but that’s okay there’s other amazing books by John Green which you might love. If you’re interested in this fascinating book, I’d consider you go on and read it.
That sounds like an amazing book, I can't wait to read it. I will look for John Green books next time I go shopping for books. :)
DeleteThe dystopian genre novel The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is an action packed story you're sure to love. You'll fall in love with the characters Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark as they're forced into the hunger games, a fight to the death! The hunger games is where one girl and boy from each of the 12 districts are brought to the capital to fight till there is one remaining victor and all the other opponents are dead. Sadly, from district 12, Peeta and Katniss are forced to take part in this terrifying adventure. They are faced with the problem that only one of them can come out alive. Who will it be? The book is full of action, but also has some sad parts during the games. My favorite character is Katniss because she is brave, but also sweet and caring, that comes in handy during the games.
ReplyDeleteI like this book because its dystopian, the characters are described very well, its humorous, and its packed with action, that’s why I recommend this book to read. My favorite part is when they're in the games and katniss makes alliances with Rue, a character you'll learn about later. You'll have to read the book to find out the saddest part, my least favorite part. If you don’t like dystopian or action you might think this book isn’t the best read but if you do, you'll think it’s great.
I recommend this book to middle school readers because it is a little violent and sad and wouldn’t be the best book for little kids to read, not to mention the vocabulary would be too challenging. The book isn’t short so you’ll have to be willing to read through it but if you like this genre you won’t want to put the book down. This book has scenes from fighting to romance so different people can enjoy this book but, the best reader is dystopian lovers, it really captures that genre well. The Hunger Games is a wonderful book, that I strongly recommend you to read.
Out of my mind
ReplyDeleteOut of my mind is a realistic fiction written by Sharon Draper .This is about a girl named Melody. Melody has a special need called cerebral palsy. There is something about Melody that almost nobody knows, she is very smart. She lives with her parents, but soon having a baby sister. One of the main characters in the story is Mrs. V or known as Mrs. Valencia ,one of the reasons she is a main character is because she helped Melody all through out by helping her to talk because it was melody`s wish to talk. The second main character is her little sister Penny, Melody looks up to her because she can do anything that Melody couldn’t do when she was small because of her special needs. One problem that one of the main characters got into was her sister Penny. Penny got outside when it was raining and the wind was really high so it blew her away and ended up going to the hospital. An adventure that melody went on was with her friend Rosa. They went to an aquarium together with her parents. Overall Melody was my favorite, it inspires me to use what I have because she can`t talk or walk and I can walk and talk.
I LOVED this book, I think other people should read it I think it will inspire them like it did to me. My favorite part of the book is when Melody proved everyone who doubted her. I don’t really have a least part of the book it was a really good book. Other opinions that people might have of this book is probably the same as mine that it`s really good book. I really do recommend this book to others it will change how you act and use what you have while you can. I think middle schoolers should read this book its probably your AR level.If you don’t like reading this book is definitely going to want you to read more.
The Hunger Games
ReplyDeleteThis dystopian novel is about a young girl named Katniss Everdeen, who is also known as the “girl on fire.” She lives with her sister Primrose Everdeen and her mother in District 12. Her best friend is a guy named Gale. Katniss is barely 16 years old, but Gale is 19. It seems like Gale likes Katniss, but she just doesn’t realize it. Every year, the capital takes a young girl and a young boy from Districts 1 through 12 to become tributes in the Hunger Games, where they will fight for the death.
My favorite character in this novel is Katniss because she is a risk-taker. No matter what happens, Katniss is never afraid and she is always up for something new. I loved this book and I recommend you to read it because if you are into action books then this novel will blow your mind away.
I like how you included their age in your book reviw
DeleteCake Pop Crush

So, you should definitely read Cake Pop Crush because I couldn’t stop flipping the pages and I’m sure that it will happen to you too! A great part in the book is when there is a bake off between Dane, and Alicia. Why? Who wins? Also, what happens with her and Dane? Do they love each other or not? You have to read it to find out.
I would recommend Cake Pop Crush to any girls that are having trouble finding a good book to read. From page 1 to the end you will not want to stop reading! I know for a fact that you will absolutely love Cake Pop Crush! I sure did!

DeleteTHE DARKEST MINDS
ReplyDeleteby Alexandra Bracken
I have read many books, but many pale in comparison to the science fiction novel The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken. This book takes place in dystopian America where almost all the 8-11 year olds come down with a plague and die, but those that survive develop powers that are classified by colors: the blue have telekinesis; the green have
photographic memories, can hack things, and are really good with numbers; the yellow can control electricity; the orange can control people's minds and see their memories; and the red can make and control fire. Almost all the kids died of the plague, but those who didn’t got powers and were sent to concentration camps, or as the parents of the children were led to believe “rehabilitation camps.”
The main character in this story is and orange named Ruby who escapes from her rehabilitation camp, meets the other 3 most important characters: Liam, Chubs, and Zu and runs from the PSI officers who bring kids to the camps. I love hearing from Ruby’s point of view because she is such a strong character who grew so much in the story and I never found myself annoyed with her like I can be other book characters, in fact I love almost all of the characters in this book because they are so three dimensional and relatable.
Although I love this book and think everyone should read it, I wouldn’t recommend it to those looking for a light, happy book because, as the name would imply, the Darkest Minds does go to a pretty dark place and will leave you in a deep way of thinking.
Now you there reading this, I shall hear no book scoffing from you. You may think “Ew, that book sounds weird” or “ Oh, I only read (insert genre here)” but trust me on this: you will love this book. Alexandra Bracken does a great job of weaving action, suspense, and even touching moments into this intriguing plot. Now seriously GO READ THE BOOK.
Myla j period 3
DeleteHi Melia, the Darkest Minds does sound kind of interesting i'll have try it out someday. I liked how at the end of your review it says "Now seriously GO READ THE BOOK" that was pretty funny!!!!
I really want to read The Darkest Minds now. It sounds mysterious and entertaining. Plus I love Sci-Fi! Were can I find this book?
DeleteI can't wait to read the Darkest Minds after I finish my book great job on your great review.
DeleteGreat book review Melia, if a plague like that were real I would want to be blue.
DeleteUNWIND
ReplyDeleteUnwind is the first first book of this amazing science fiction trilogy written by Neal Shusterman. After a war about abortion, they come up with unwinding. In between the ages of thirteen and eighteen your parents can choose to unwind you. That means that they can take all your body parts such as organs, skin hair and every part of you and give it to someone who needs it.
You can only be unwound if your parents think it’s necessary,it's usually because of your behavior. There is one exception, and that is if you're a tithe.Being a tithe is in your religion, you might be raised as a tithe to prepare you because on your 13th birthday you will have to be unwound as a way to give back to God.
In this fast paced book you will meet Conner,a runaway, Risa, a runaway ward of the state,and Lev, a tithe.Once you get into it, you can’t put it down.I highly recommend this book, and if you liked it, don’t hesitate to read the rest of the books in this trilogy.
Every one is with unwinding, except of course the unwinds and one man who saves them. he was a former commander who actually signed the unwind accord but then changed his mind when he mistakenly signed to unwind papers for his son to get unwound.
I would hate to get unwound and i don’t agree with what they decided. Although I know that there are people who need organ transplants and that they did it with good intentions but there has to be another way.
This is an amazing book that will have you biting your nails. I truly loved this book and I'm sure you will too. It is definitely worth your time. My favorite part is when they make it to the safety of the Graveyard, but i hated the whole part about getting caught and getting partly blown up. If you like sci-fi you will definitely love this book. Be sure to read it.
Sounds like an amazing book! I am especially interested in this guy that signed papers for unwinding people, what happens to him?
DeleteDIVERGENT
ReplyDeleteBY Veronica Roth
Are you looking for a good book to read then try reading Divergent. The story takes place in dystopian Chicago, were it was separated by 5 factions. Each faction values a different virtue and lives opposite of how they think the world ended. For example; Amity values peace and friendship, they think that the world ended because violence. Candor values honesty and think that the world ended because of deceit.
The main character is Beatrice “, Tris ‘’ a 16 year old girl that was born in Abnegation you will soon get to know other characters later. When Tris takes a test called the aptitude test she then finds out that she is Divergent. Divergent is when you get two or three factions in your aptitude test results. Tris gets to do risky missions and she also gets to face her fears. My favorite character in the book is Tris because she is brave and is kind to others.
I loved this book because it is action packed and it is a very amazing story. People should read this book because this made me start reading science fiction meaning that by reading this great book you will discover new worlds to explore. My favorite part was when she was taking the aptitude test because it had you wondering what is she going to do or what is she going to answer next. I did not have a least favorite part because this book is a cant stop reading it is just filled with action. Some people might not like this book but for the people that do want to read Divergent spoiler you will love this book.
When I picked up the book I thought that this was not going to be a good story until I read the first page I could not stop reading . “ There is one mirror in my house. It is behind a sliding panel in the hall way upstairs. “ Divergent is a book that you just got to love, got to have and got to read.
Thank you so much for recommending Divergent! I liked your review and read the whole series during winter break. The endings in the series were pretty bad though. Just saying. But the books were totally amazing, very entertaining and packed with allot of action.
DeleteThe Hunger Games
ReplyDeleteIn this dystopian novel, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is an action-packed, love story that will keep you guessing till the end! The story is about a girl named Katniss Everdeen and guy named Peeta Mellark are forced to fight to death in the Hunger Games for their district. There are 12 districts and 2 people from each district choosen to fight to the death, until there is one victor. Katniss and Peeta are both from district 12, the poorest district, and only one can win. Will Peeta or Katniss survive? They are all brought to the arena in the capital where President Snow can almost make sure which ones will die, President Snow is not very fond of Katniss, and he can through obstacles at them. Will he make sure that Katniss dies? Read and find out! My favorite character is Katniss Everdeen, she is appealing to both boys and girls. She is beautiful, daring, bold, kind, and outrageous.
I strongly recommend this book for anyone over the age of 11. It is violent and graphic but even if you watched the movie you will love the book way better. My favorite part of the book is at the end games but I can’t reveal too much! My least favorite part of the book is in the middle of the games when certain people die. Others may believe that the book is too grown up for kids and that it is not realistic but, I believe that that is the fun of the book because it is set in the future.
A reader who likes action books and even love stories will love this! Even if you don’t like reading this book got me reading and I am most surely you’ll love it too! As I said before the book is very detailed in the way people die and should not be read by anyone younger than 10. I think that the age group that will love this book the most is ages 10 through 25. I strongly believe and recommend that you should read it and if you do you won’t want to put the book down!
The Hunger Games
ReplyDeleteIn this Dystopian novel,The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, is a very actioned book that you will love and will keep you wondering. The characters are Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark. They are forced to fight for their city in the Hunger Games. There are 12 districts and they are in the 12th district. In the Hunger Games they have to fight until there is one person remaining. I feel sorry for them because they have to go through this terrifying adventure. Who will survive? Will Katniss or Peeta? This book also has very sad moments during the book. My favorite character is Katniss Everdeen because she is very brave, and will be very much needed for the games. Although she is very focused during the games, she is also very kind and generous to Peeta throughout the games.
I really recomend this book for middle schoolers because middle schoolers dont often like reading, but this book is very interesting and when you read it you won't want to put the book down. This book by far is my favorite book i have ever read. My favorite part of this book is at the ending because it tells who wins the games and it makes me want the book to be never-ending. To be honest i don't really have a least favorite part of this book because it always has something that is going on in this book. I think other people that have read this book would agree with me.
I would strongly recommend this book because it is a fantastic book. I think anyone would like this book that really likes action and that will keep you guessing kind of books. I am almost positive that you will love this book!
ENDER’S GAME
ReplyDeleteAre you interested in a compelling science fiction story packed with adventure? Are you interested in a book oozing with action and characters you come to love and root for? If so, Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card is a perfect fit for you.
The astonishing story of Ender Wiggin is the base for a plot stacked with chapters that pull you in. Ender is the third child in a family during a time where having a so-called ‘Third’ is nearly treason. Though he is the third child, he is a remarkably smart and adaptive young boy. However, he’s not necessarily happy because his tormenting brother Peter abuses him mercilessly. Valentine, the second sibling is friendlier to Ender and tries to make peace between them. As if being bullied by his brother wasn’t torture enough, the journey doesn’t even begin until he is invited to battle school, which happens to be located in space. This particular school trains the most advanced soldiers in the world through an organization called the International Fleet. The battle masters have been watching Ender and believe in his extraordinary leadership. They are betting on him to become a battle commander himself and contribute to defeating the enemies of humankind: the alien buggers.
For a tale of friendships, hardships, and battleships, Ender’s Game tops the charts. Tune in to the life of Ender and the members of the battle school for a story so rich and so powerful that you won’t be able to put your book down.

One day and one amazing morning on Orange street
ReplyDeleteHooking teens on books is not always easy but Joanne Rocklin knows how! In this Fiction book, Ali, Robert, Bunny, and Leandra have an adventure under the shade of an Orange tree on a hot day in LA. Each of these characters have their own problems to deal with such as Ali has to help out her brother who doesn’t talk much. My favorite character in the book was Robert because he spends most of his days learning magic tricks by himself and tinkering around with things he finds under the Orange tree. Everyone on their block loves the tree and one day a mysterious orange cone is in front of the lot by the Orange tree. They soon find out that the city is going to cut the tree down and it’s the kids that need to stop them! Will they be able to stop the workers and save their beloved tree? Read to find out!
My favorite part of this book was at the end when they find out what will happen to their tree. I would recommend this book to anyone that loves fiction books. I believe this book was written for 11 and 12 year olds and will keep you reading till the very end. As you can see, this book has an amazing story and was very well written and would be a great book for many people to read.
Savanna K. per.4
ReplyDeleteJake and Lily is an interesting realistic fiction story by Jerry Spinelli, with a great hook. It is about the troubles of twins, Jake and Lily. After growing up together all of their lives, they split up. One of the many problems is that Jake has many friends, but Lily is having difficulties making new ones. As children, the twins have lots of adventures including having a very special connection. Personally, my favorite character is Lily because she shares more feelings throughout the book, especially how she wants to spend more time with Jake, but unlike Lily, Jake wants to spend very little time with her.
If you like books with a strong conflict and books that keep you wondering what will happen next, this is a good book for you. I really enjoyed this action-packed story, and I strongly recommend it to anyone else. My favorite part of the book was definitely when Jake helped built a clubhouse for one of the neighborhood kids, because it showed kindness and teamwork. I do not have a least favorite part of the book, the whole thing is exciting. If you do not like a romance, do not worry. This book is simply a realistic fiction about having brother sister issues.
Uglies
ReplyDeleteScott Westerfield
Do you enjoy reading science-fiction? If so then you will like Scott Westerfield’s Uglies. Uglies is about a society where being pretty is everything, so once you turn sixteen you have an operation that makes you beautiful. Tally Youngblood is the main character of this story but you will also run in to Shay, David, Croy, Maddy, Az, and the evil Dr. Cable. Tally’s best friend; Peris, has had the operation, leaving Tally all alone. She decides to sneak out to visit Peris one day and while she’s escaping she runs into Shay. Shay and Tally become friends, but a few days before they are about to get the operation Shay runs away. Dr. Cable then contacts Tally telling her that if she doesn’t find Shay then Tally will never be pretty. Tally then has to leave the city in search of her friend and the secret town that she spoke about. Once Tally gets there she has to decide if betraying her Shay and her new friends is worth being pretty.
I enjoyed this book because it was suspenseful and intriguing. My favorite part of the book was when Tally had to escape from the town and she tricked an agent into letting her escape by falling off a roof twice and then stealing a hoverboard. I don’t have a least favorite part of the book. Other readers might find this book exciting or strange.
I recommend this book because it is written very well and it is interesting. You would enjoy this book if you like suspenseful science-fiction books, but if you don’t like reading, then this book probably isn’t for you.
The House of Hades
ReplyDeleteThe House of Hades by Rick Riordan, it is a historical fiction book about the Greek and Roman gods, goddess, titans. This book is about six teenagers that are halfbloods. Halfbloods are the sons and daughters of the Greek and Roman gods. In this book Leo, Jason, Piper, and Hazel are trying to save Percy and Annabeth from Taturas. Percy and Annabeth are trying to get out so they could help their friends save the world from the Titan goddess Gia. While they try and get out Leo, Jason, Piper, and Hazel have to meet them on the other side of the doors of death. They have to sail through the dangerous seas after their flying ship the Argo 2 was damaged by the mountain gods in Italy. In the previous books in the series they have many adventures like this. My favorite character is Leo because he is very energetic and funny. He is faced with the task of of maintaining the ship and taking down a Titan that is guarding the doors of death.
This book is by far one of my favorite books that I have ever read. I recommend this book but before you read it you should read the first books of the series. The series is called The Heros of Olympus. My favorite part of the book was in the end when they have to fight all of the monsters on both sides of the doors of death. I did not have a least favorite part of the book. Opinions that others might have about this book is that they might not like how they have to kill all of the monsters or they might like the book like me.
I would recommend this book. I would recommend this book to middle schoolers and mabey high schoolers. If you like reading mythology and adventurous books then this book is for you. You would also like this book if you have read Percy Jackson and the Olympians series.
Gregor the Overlander
ReplyDeleteSuzanne Collins book Gregor the Overlander is a brilliant fantasy and if you have read the Hunger Games also by Suzanne Collins I guarantee you’ll love it.
Imagine you live in an apartment in New York City, your dad went missing two year ago and you’re in the laundry room doing laundry watching your little sister when all of a sudden you both fall down the grate into a mysterious underworld. Well that happened to Gregor and his little sister Boots. When the land they a met by two giant cockroaches! They are taken to the city of Regalia where he meets the underlanders. He learns his dad might have fallen here and could be alive, only trapped by giant rats. Even if they saved his dad they still have a bigger problem, how are they going to get back to the real world?
My favorite part was when he met the giant cockroaches because he has no idea where he is and was in shock. My least favorite part was when there was a betrayal. I absolutely loved this book and recommend it to everyone. I especially recommend it to the people who have read the Hunger Games and like fantasies. Join the journey and read Gregor the Overlander.
Wonder is an amazing realistic fiction book written by R.J. Palacio. The story is about a boy named August who has a deformed face and has to deal with the fact that he is different and always will be. The main characters in this book are August, via, summer, Justin, Miranda, and Jack. In the story Jack and August get in an argument about Jack talking about August behind his back to his other friends. August is my favorite character out of the whole book just because he never gets down and always has a good attitude and even when he’s sad he doesn’t let it show. This is a great book for any age I enjoyed reading it a lot and if you read it I know you will too.

Ida B: . . . and Her Plans to Maximize Fun, Avoid Disaster, and (Possibly) Save the World is a realistic fiction book by Katherine Hannigan. This book is very good because it’s emotional. It’s about a girl who goes to school doesn’t like it because she wants to be called Ida b. But the teacher says no nick names so her mom goes and she sees how bad the teacher is with her so she told her that she can be home schooled and she was so happy. She helped her parents with the farm, and chores. Then her mom started getting sick and things start to happen. That’s when the story got juicier. What kept me turning the pages was because she had to go back to school and she hated everyone. My favorite part was when she screamed at the girl telling her that she doesn’t belong here. My favorite character was Ida B. because the spotlight was on her. The main characters have a lot of problems to solve. I think people who like realistic fiction should read this.
ReplyDeleteRead this book to find out. It is a very recommend book. I hope you enjoy it!
Hope Solo: My Story by Hope Solo is an autobiography. It talks about her childhood to her adulthood. It’s about her entire life. It talks about her struggles to her success. The book is exciting but also has some sad parts. Her parents divorced and her dad left when she was at her soccer game she saw her dad and realized he was homeless. Shortly after her dad died. Then it talks about her college soccer time also it talks about her professional career with the United States women’s national soccer team. If you like sports books, you’ll love Hope Solo: My Story. In the end I hope you decide to read this book.
ReplyDeleteTHE FAULT IN OUR STARS!:)
ReplyDeleteby John Green
Personally I don’t really like reading and I never really get into a book that much, but this book The Fault In Our Stars by John Green glued me to the pages and it was INSANELY amazing!! Its really focused on these 2 kids named Hazel and Augustus, who have a type of cancer and their lives with each other in them. (it shows you how much cancer SUCKS!)
This book is so amazing that I felt as if I knew these characters were my family, I felt every emotion they felt. It’s a heart-warming book but also a book that makes you cry every last tear. Your always urging to know what happens next. It also shows that you have to live the best life you can because you never know what the future holds for you.
I freakishly recommend this book, it is the best book EVER! Any person will like this book, 11 year olds to 100 year olds! YOU NEED TO READ THE FAULT IN OUR STARS!
Iam really interested in this book. Thank you hudson. I like how you didnt spoil anything like what will happen to them.
DeleteOne of the best books I have read is Catching Fire, a dystopian novel by Suzanne Collins. Catching Fire is the second book out of three in The Hunger Games series. Catching Fire is about Katniss Everdeen, a hunter, and Peeta Mellark, son of bakers, who are chosen to take part in the 75th annual Hunger Games with 22 other tributes that fight to the death in a big arena. Katniss and Peeta live in district 12 out of the 12 districts. It is the poorest district of all and they are known for their mining and coal production. The purpose of The Hunger Games is to remind Panem, the country they live in, the consequences of going against the Capitol.
ReplyDeletePersonally I love this book and other people should definitely read it because all the action parts are very fascinating. My favorite part is when they count down before the Hunger Games begin and when they get down to zero and all the tributes start running and killing each other. I don't have a least favorite part but I strongly disagree with when one of my favorite people die in the book. I believe other people will also like this book.
I would definitely recommend this book to others especially if you liked the first Hunger Games and if you are interested in a dystopian genre. A dystopian genre is when you have a imaginary place which is set in bad conditions yet the characters still manage to come out on top or succeed. So you should really go to the local library or book store and pick up the Catching Fire book.
A package of tissues came with the book, The Imperfect Spiral, by Debbie Levy. I thought that came as an obvious hint that this book might be a bit emotional, but boy was I wrong. This book was a page-turning tearjerker and because it’s a true story, its realistic fiction. So if you’d like to get away from you’re boring life and try handling a day in the gloomy, but entertaining life about a girl who befriends the five year old boy she is hired to babysit over her 10th grade summer break and finds herself getting so attached that watching him get struck and killed by a car is such a devastating crisis for her that it changes her whole life then you should read this book. At first, the upsetting event sends poor Danielle Snyder into depression that is so well described, you the reader feel it yourself. The traumatic event is of course not her own fault, but the guilt and grief that anyone would relate to helps you understand why she might think of herself as the killer.
ReplyDeleteThe incident was a hit and run ordeal so the driver remains unknown throughout the book which becomes a big mystery which Danielle has to attend public meetings about. The whole situation becomes such a complication that she feels as if no one really cares for the actual Humphrey Danker, but just to get to the bottom of the mystery and make sure it never happens again. Justin, a boy Danielle meets at a park, helps Danielle overcome her sadness and spikes up an unsuspected romance. He has a life changing secret too hard to keep that he carries with him and has to hide from Danielle that could make or break their friendship.
I especially liked Danielle because she handles things the way I would, respectfully, maturely, and sarcastically. While some might think she is just a cry baby throughout the book, I see how it would just be a hard thing to face. I enjoyed one part where she talked things through with the little boy’s mother, Mrs. Danker, instead of hiding away from her; she came out and apologized just to make her feel better. I personally was intrigued by the whole book and would recommend it to people who really want to get into a book a have a couple tears fall. Teens could really relate because her school, friends, family life and boy trouble all play into it too!
DR.SEUSS
ReplyDeleteDo you remember sitting in bed with your parent when you were little, all snuggled up in your batman or princess pajamas while they read you Dr. Seuss? How could you not?! Those were the good days! Dr. Seuss’ books have made a huge impact on kids and families in the United States. His stories are always silly and crazy, making rhyming and reading fun! The rhythm of the verses and words set their own mood, any where between happy or sleepy. There’s just the right Dr. Seuss book for every occasion, birthday gifts, nigh time reading, and life lesson teaching. Most of his books, as silly as they are always have a moral or lessoned to be learned. He just explains or presents the lesson differently, in a way that kids can understand easier. His books are also great for beginning readers who are learning phonics, there’s usually a pattern in the rhyming of his books that makes it easier for kids to practice their reading skills. In many Dr. Seuss classics like Green Eggs and Ham not only are the words intreaging, but so are the pictures. The imaginary characters dance around on the pages, lauphing and singing, coming to life in his stories. As you can see Dr. Seuss writes really good books, you should buy some for you’r kids and snuggle with them some night.

DeleteIt's true his books are hilarious and I love how he drew the trees differently like in "Horton hear a who?". I have a collection of Dr. Seuss books and I've had them since I was probably like 2 or 3 years old. Two or three Christmas' ago my mom gave me one that is now my favorite one. It's called " A fish out of water" you'll have to read someday it's pretty good.
The book Deaf Child Crossing by Marlee Matlin is about Megan, a deaf child, who just wants someone to understand her, and when Cindy moves across the street, Megan is sure she and Cindy will be best friends. And they do,Cindy even learns sign language do she can talk to Megan. They both share moments and go to camp together. But as soon as Megan steps onto camp ground, she meets another deaf girl just like her! Cindy feels an empty gap in her while Megan is off with someone.
ReplyDeleteThe book Deaf Child Crossing by Marlee Matlin is about Megan, a deaf child, who just wants a friend, one who would understand her. When Cindy moves across the street from Megan, Megan is sure she and Cindy will be best friends. They both soon enough become friends, Cindy learns that Megan is deaf, so she learns eone else, leaving Cindy all alone.This book relates to most people because they're friends leave them hang out with other people. My favorite character is Megan, she may be a little bossy but I like that she's brave in ways that the book didn't point out.
This is my number one favorite book and I love it. If anyone able to read once in a while, and I think they should read the Deaf Child Crossing because it's a easy book to read and it's really interesting through the whole entire book, there is no part of the book where nothing is happening, there's always something that Cindy or Megan are doing. My favorite part of the book is when they both go to camp because the two best face other people and they try new things. I like when Megan finds Lizzie, the other deaf girl, and they start hanging out together because Megan finally found someone else who's deaf like her. There is a part I don't like, it's when Cindy tries to help Megan when Megan gets fusterated, but Megan starts to scream at her that she can do it herself or that she doesn't want Cindy's help. Megan rejects Cindy and I don't think she should just do that. In others opinion, I think that they will like it, I recommended it to one of my friends and she loved the book too, and I think if you hear what the book is all about, I think that you'll want to read it.
I highly recommend the book, this book isn't a thick book or thin book, if your a reader who doesn't read so much or reads a lot, then this is the book for you because it's not hard at all, it's a good book to read outside in a soft spot on the grass. This book is fiction, and it's a real good one if you read it, so go on and read it because it will be the best book you will have ever read.
The realistic fiction book called Diary of a wimpy kid “Cabin Fever” by Jeff Kinney was about Gregory’s family spending Christmas together. Instead they are stuck in their house by the snowstorm, and there dad was away because of his work, in a hotel relaxing without knowing that his family is stuck in the house, running out of food! That was the problem. One bad adventure they had was on a morning when Greg went to the basement and the snow has melted which made their basement flooded. So they all got in a line, including Manny, Greg’s little brother, and got Manny’s sand pails and started taking out the water. My favorite character was Manny because he is really naughty and smart. My favorite part of the book was when Manny turned down all the electricity except for his room, and took all of the good food into his room. I would recommend this book to people who get really excited for the holidays or just like the way the author writes it about their life’s into a diary. You will have to read this book if you want to find out more about what happened!
ReplyDeleteI truly love the series of Diary of the Wimpy kid they are very funny. I haven't read Cabin Fever yet so hopefully some day you can let me read it. It sound like a good book to read over Winter Break
DeleteHonus and me: a baseball card adventure, genre:science fiction
ReplyDeleteEnrique L.
If you are looking for a book that hooks you in from the beginning and you love baseball i have the perfect book for you. This book is about a boy named Josh Stoshack but people call him Stosh he is the main character in this book. Stosh is not an ordinary boy, Stosh has the power to travel through time with baseball cards. Stosh was cleaning his neighbors atic, his neighbor told him to throw everything away. All of a sudden Stosh found a Honus Wagner card. their is only 40 of those cards in the world. He was very lucky to find that card.
I really liked this book because it was a lot about time traveling and baseball. My favorite part of the book was when Stosh found out how much that card was worth and he was so happy. My least favorite part of the book was when Stosh went to sell the card and the man told him it was a fake card so Stosh would give him the card.
I would recommend this book to all the baseball fans. If you are a reader who likes to be surprised you should read this book. If you dont like reading that much you should start to read this book. If you read this book and you like it you should read the series.
I LIKED THIS BOOK
DeleteThe Hobbit
ReplyDeleteThis action-packed fantasy novel is a classic book for all ages. Right off the bat, you get hooked and all you want to do is get cozy and read.
Bilbo Baggins, your average hobbit, got an unexpected visit from thirteen dwarves and and a wizard. He was sent on a compelling journey from his humble home on Bag End to the perilous lair of Smaug, the dragon of the ancient kingdom of the dwarves, the lonely mountain. He fights his way through goblin caves, giant spiders in Mirkwood and wood elves that hold him and his friends captive. He finds his way out of sticky situations with the help of his magic ring of invisibility he found after a strange creature tried to eat him alive. But the ring wasn’t the only thing he found on his quest, he found his courage and so will you once you read the enchanting tale of Bilbo Baggins.
I loved this book, it kept my mind occupied for weeks, even after I finished it. My favorite part was when they finally escaped the Goblin King’s grasp but went right to the Orcs. I guess you could say they got out of the frying pan and into the fire. But then the coolest thing happened: Gandalf, the wizard, started lighting all of the pine cones on fire, and since fire kills orcs, they fought them back until giant eagles saved them.
I would recommend this book for any middle schooler thirsty for adventure, loss and an amazing story.
I loved the movie and I can't wait for the part two. Since the break is coming up I'll have a lot of time to read the book!
DeleteMan, I wish I hadn't seen the movies...
DeleteAnyway, if I hadn't, I would probably go check out the book immediately after reading this.
I loved your book review because you let just the right amount of information for me to get hooked. I will put the hobbit on my reading list. Thank you Kai.

ReplyDeleteJake and Lily is a fun realistic fiction story by Jerry Spinelli with a good hook. It is about the troubles of not only being brother and sister, but being twins, Jake and Lily. After being together their whole entire lives, they face one problem FRIENDS. Jake and Lily have many adventures including having an extra special connection that happens every birthday. Personally my favorite character is Lily because she shares a lot of feelings in the book, including wanting to spend more time together.
I really enjoyed this book because it has a strong conflict and it kept me wondering what happened next. My favorite part of the book was when Lily beat up this kid called bump when Lily was playing in the snow GIRL POWER. If you have a twin then you will definitely relate to this book. I would recommend this book to people who like realistic fiction books. People that like fun books with some adventures in it should really read this book and even if you don’t like those types of books you should still give it a try.
Legend by Marie Lu
ReplyDeleteIf you want to read something legendary, well Legend by Marie Lu is the book to pick up. This dystopian novel takes place in the future America during a civil war between the Republic and the Colonies. This book has two points of view; Day the legend and June the prodigy. They start out as very different strangers but their paths collide when Metias, June’s brother, is mysteriously murdered and Day is a suspect. Throughout this book you will laugh, you will gasp, and you will cry. Its face meltingly awesome and jammed packed with action.
I really enjoyed this book because I have trouble focusing on books, but this book yanks my brain out of my skull and fills it with images of awesomeness. It has a little of everything, romance, action suspense and even hilarious moments. I recommend this book to any fan of the Hunger Games and Divergent series.
This is truly a good book :)
DeleteHarry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
ReplyDeleteJ.K. Rowling
Get in a nice chair with a blanket and a couple of snacks because you are going to get sucked into this fantasy book. This book is the forth in the series. This book is for people who love mystery with a lot of magic. Harry Potter is a teen that goes to a magical school called Hogwarts with his two friends Ron and Hermione. You read about them in their school year solving mysteries.
Harry Potter starts of at his aunt’s and uncle’s house because his mom and dad died from an evil wizard named Voldemort also known as ”you know who” because his name is so horrifying to say. His best friend Ron got his dad to get into taking his family and two best friends Harry and Hermione to the quidditch world cup. In the quidditch world cup there was a house elf sitting behind them named Winky. Winky plays a big role in the end. After the world cup a rising of the death eaters came through the camp sight. Everyone runs through the forest and then the dark mark rises. There are more adventure and mysteries of suspicion, like Ron’s parents weren’t telling them what was new at their school instead of quiditch, it was something else. Harry also needs to find out what the next task is and what to do. Serious Black, Harry’s god father, comes and gives him advice.
I personally loved this book it so far has been my favorite. I recommend reading the whole series, not one book and in order, a lot of people don’t read them in order which is weird. My favorite part of the book is the end when Voldemort shows up and the whole story just comes together. I would tell you more, but that would be a spoiler. Some people love this book, but some people think it is childish. My mom even loves the series and wants to read it again.
This is a book for a person who loves to read and get stuck not wanting to put the book down. You must have to love fantasy with wizards and mysteries. Make sure to look into the books before this one in the series.
Deaf Child Crossing
ReplyDeleteDeaf child crossing is packed with heartfelt moments and a sprinkle of drama. Marlee Matlin is the author of this realistic fiction book. Megan is the main character and she is a deaf child who has hearing aids that provide her to hear some sounds and words, everyone in her town knows her for being friendly and kind. Cindy is Megan’s best friend who is there to help her. And Lizzie is Megan and Cindy’s friend that they met at camp.
Megan lives in a town where everyone knows her but she doesn't have friends her age. Then Megan finds out that a family with a daughter her age is moving into town so Megan waits anxiously for days until the day arrives. The new family is here Megan goes up to the family and introduces herself she meets Cindy her new neighbor. The next day Cindy receives an invitation and it says to go to Megan’s at ten. Cindy goes to her house and they instantly become friends. Cindy also learns sign language so she can communicate better with Megan. The next day Megan’s mom, Lainee tells Megan that she signed her up for camp but Megan does not want to go so Megan tells Cindy that her mom signed her up for camp but Cindy doesn't get why Megan doesn't want to go to camp. Then Megan reveals her secret. (Read the book to find out.) Cindy doesn't think her secret is a big deal so she tries to convince her to go to camp and Megan finally says yes. At camp they meet Lizzie who is also a deaf child so Megan and Lizzie star hanging out a lot and Cindy starts to feel left out. So when they have a camp fire they tell scary stories and Megan got inspired by a story and decides to pull a prank on the girls in her cabin so she runs into the woods but she gets lost, and can’t find her way out will they ever find her???
Personally I love this book I think it is one of the best books I have ever read. My favorite part of the book was when Megan reveals her secret, but my least favorite part of the book was when Megan started to hang out with Lizzie more and they left out Cindy. I recommend this book to readers that like books about friendship and a sprinkle of drama.
I think I am going to read this. It sounds like a cute book! I love your first sentence, by the way! ;)

ReplyDeleteBreaking Through is by Francisco Jimenez is a realistic fiction/memoir about a family that are immigrants from Mexico. There are only two children in the family who were born in the US. I choose this book because I like how they talk about a family trying to cross the border to come to America. And the experience of being alone without a parent, having to work and go to school every day. The two children work hard to send money to their parents even though the parents should be the ones sending them money.
Francisco Jimenez worked in the fields of California as a child. Francisco was also a freshman at Santa Maria High School. He had gratitude to his teachers whose guidance, faith, and ability to break through many barriers. He received both his master's degree and his Ph.D. from Columbia University.
People should read this book because it shows a real perspective. If you like reading books by Francisco Jimenez or about real life, this is a good choice because it talks about how some immigrants, families crossing the border, and how they help each other.
Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card
ReplyDeleteEnder’s Game is a great book that I would recommend for anyone who loves a good story. In the setting of future Earth, it follows the life of Andrew “Ender” Wiggin, a “third,” a child who exists only because of the extraordinary tactical ability in his genes. At age seven, he is whisked away from his home to Battle School, an army satellite orbiting Earth. Here he is trained to defend Earth from the Buggers, an alien race who would take Earth for themselves, destroying humanity in the process. Ender may be the only man, or boy, who can lead the International Fleet against the Buggers; but he will have to survive Battle School first.
I really enjoyed this book, and I think you will too. It has novel but sometimes very relatable characters, and an interesting plot. The whole book, especially the ending, is extremely powerful. Even if you don’t like science fiction, I think you should give this book a try, because is uses the futuristic setting to move the plot forward instead of having science just for science’s sake. And if you already like science fiction, this book will make you love it all the more.

Girl stolen
ReplyDeleteBy April Henry
Do you not like reading? Do you like suspense and action books? I know i don’t like reading that much but the book GIRL STOLEN was a suspense and action book and it made me keep reading it. These book was about a sixteen-year old Cheyenne wilder sleeping in the back of a car while her stepmother fills her prescriptions for antibiotics. Before Cheyenne realizes whats happening, the car is being stolen what will Cheyenne do now? The main characters in the story are Griffin,Roy and Cheyenne. Griffin had a problem he did not meant to kidnap Cheyenne and once he finds out that not only does she have PNEUMONIA but she is BLIND he doesn't know what to do but when griffins dad(Roy) find out that Cheyennes father is a president of a powerful corporation, everything changes now there’s a reason to keep her. Quick questions do you think Griffin is a bad guy or a good guy in the story? My favorite part of the story was when Cheyenne tried to escape from the window.

This sounds like a great book!!
DeleteDo you love adventurous, action-packed, and hilarious books? If your answer is yes, you would love the fantasy series, Percy Jackson, by Rick Riordan. The stories are about the journeys Percy and his friends, Annabeth Chase and Grover, have. They run into many problems but the dilemmas bring them closer together.
ReplyDeleteThe first book starts out with Percy finding out he is a child of the Greek sea God Poseidon. He goes to a camp named Camp Half-blood where other children of the Greek gods live. Percy soon finds out that he was accused of stealing Zeus's lightning bolt. In the second book, the trio goes on a voyage to the Sea of Monsters. On their way they get stuck on an island and for a while can’t get out! The third book is about the Greek Goddess, Artemis. She is hunting for monsters and Percy and his friends try to help. In the fourth book, Percy and Annabeth adventure into the the labyrinth that the famous Daedalus created. The labyrinth is all underground and slowly grows. You can walk two steps and end up in China when you started in America! The fifth and final book tells the story of the battle between Percy and the Greek Gods versus the Titans. The Titans want to take the throne back from the Gods! All the books were so good I can’t pick a favorite.
Through all of their adventures, you learn more and more about the characters. Percy is very courageous and sarcastic. Whenever he has an idea you know you’re in for a ride! Annabeth is brave and intelligent. Probably because she’s the daughter of Athena! Grover is kind of a scaredy cat, but always ends up helping out. I love all the characters because they work together perfectly. These are my favorite books because they always make you want to turn the page. I would recommend these books to young adults who love adventure stories. Even if you don’t like mythical stories I urge you to read them. I thought I wouldn’t like the Percy Jackson series but they ended up being my favorite books! I also love some of Rick Riordan’s other books. The Percy Jackson series does continue on to The Heros Of Olympus which I love too! Rick Riordan is definitely one of my favorite authors.
This is a great review! I like how you told about all the books because they are all amazing and i agree it is too hard to just choose one. Good job on not giving away the endings.
DeleteThis amazing book is about a boy,named August, who was born with a unusual face. The main characters, August, Summer, Olivia, Justin, Jack Will, and Miranda all have there own chapters of their own perspective of August.
ReplyDeleteAugust was the one who faced the most challenges because people where mean to him because of the way he looks but he was brave enough not to let it bother him. August was my favorite character because he was a risk taker and a very brave person.
I absolutely LOVE this book because it has a strong lesson about the golden rule. If you like realistic fiction books or you just don't like to read, this book will make you never want to put it down I really recommend this book.
When I was reading this book there were funny parts where I laughed and when the sad parts came I teared up but by the time I had finished the book it was the best book I have ever read in my intier life.
I love that book too!! I like how you didnt spoil any details.
DeleteYour book review makes this book sound amazing!!! I am definitely putting this book on my want to read list (:
DeleteEnders Game by Orson Scott Card
ReplyDeleteIf you love deep science fiction books that are so awesome that you just can’t put it down, that is so full of suspense and has a great resolution, then read Enders Game.
Ender Wiggins is a young boy who is a genius. He attends battle school where he learns to become a commander for the war against the aliens A.K.A the buggers. In battle school he faces bullying, hard physical labor, and later on having to show his commanding skills. At battle school they play a war game where Ender excels. He is there top student at battle school so he transfers to command school. There he plays a war simulation game, but is it just a game?
Are you curious? If you are curious about it then read it yourself, you will love it. My favorite part is when Ender commands his army in the war game against two armies that outnumbered him two to one and he beats them. I would recommend this book for anyone who loves interesting science fiction books. I really hope you read Enders Game.
I agree with everything you said about the book. However, I think you were a little too close to spoiling the ending.

This is my most favorite book in the world. If you like the hunger games this book is the book to put on the read before I die list.
Written by Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games is a thrilling, complex, and action packed science fiction book that will keep you up for hours. Let me set the scene, North America has been divided in 12 separate districts not including the Capitol, but now it’s known as Panem. Here annually in every district one young boy and one young women between the ages of 12-18 are forced to fight to the death for entertainment of the Capitol in a dangerous arena that changes every year. Only one can survive, making that victor wealthy and famous. In this fast paced book you soon fall in love with the main characters, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark. Suzanne Collins makes many turns and twist making this book exciting and compelling. This book is written in Katniss's perspective where you discover all her mixed feeling for Peeta, memories she has about her family and the games as she fights starvation, and careers. In the story Katniss and Peeta must work together so that both of them are together in the end when Peeta has a giant wound. Besides the fact that they must also kill the other tributes that have been trained their entire lives for the games, the only problem is that only one can really survive in the end and be crowned victor the important question, Who will survive Peeta or Katniss? Now Katniss must use her knowledge of plants and wilderness along with hunting with a bow and arrow, and Peeta’s knowledge in baking, frosting and well lifting heavy objects to stay although the odds are never quite in their favor. My favorite character is Rue who comes from district 11 at age 12 -who you will learn about later on during the book because the author described her as a sweet little clever girl who everyone can relate to. But my favorite part of the whole book was the end since you want more and it leaves you hooked. Other than the Hunger Games there is also Catching Fire and Mockingjay the second and third book to continue the trilogy series of “The girl on fire” (Aka Katniss Everdeen).
ReplyDeleteHonestly whether you hate reading or not you will enjoy this book because there is action, romance, and comedy at times so a little something for everyone. But if you really do not like killing or violence this book is probably not for you. The Hunger Games is absolutely perfect to read in a rainy or boring day. Most importantly you will understand most of the words in the book. I really liked this book and hopefully you do to!
I read The Hunger Games during winter break and I thought it was well written and entertaining. I was hooked by when you wrote,''Only one can survive...'' That really grabbed my attention. And I really liked it!

ReplyDeleteThe Mark Of Athena
By: Rick Riordan
A page turner. It shall leave you, wondering who, what, where and why at every chapter especially in the final sentence. There's just so many problems coming towards the demigods inside the vessel of The Argo II. You never know what's heading, so get ready for the action.
In the past Percy, Annabeth’s boyfriend was missing or misplaced...Lost. Only to be found by Lupa the immortal wolf goddess of Rome. Wait! Rome? Yes Rome! But Rome is an enemy to the Greeks and Percy is a Greek demigod… Will the roman goddess help young Percy? or shall she dispose of the Greek?
When I read this book I was super duper excited in the beginning but yet devastated by the sad end of the last chapter.
The Mark Of Athena in my perspective is a good book, so if you're into fictional fantasy or maybe you want to try something new?
The main characters are: Percy Jackson son of Poseidon, Annabeth Chase daughter of Athena, Leo Valdez son of Hephaestus,
Jason Grace son of Zeus, Piper McLean daughter of Aphrodite,
Hazel Levesque daughter of Hades and Frank Zhang. They are all
demigods fighting against the forces of the evil giant Gaea. Who
wants to destroy the gods of Olympus and enslave the earth with her wrath of pain.
My favorite character in the book is Leo hes a really really smart engineer.Who can make fire in midair! How cool is that?
And actually diagrammed and created the Argo II in replica to the
actual Argo back in Greek and Roman times.
So any kid out there wants to read the heroes of Olympus? If so, what are you waiting for!? Find the book quickly!
I really liked how you mentioned all the parents of the demigods, wrote about the problem and didn't spoil the finally! Thanks, I barely started reading it and I agree.
DeleteThe book Kick by Walter dean Myers is amazing and filled with action and excitement.This book is about a kid named Kevin and he plays soccer but then he gets in trouble with the police and goes to jail then he gets set with sergeant brown a cop,and they both are trying to trust each other and begin a new path for Kevin with no more troubles with the police.
ReplyDeleteThe main characters are Kevin,sergeant brown,Christina and Christina dad.Kevin is a great soccer player but one little incident changed his life he did one really bad thing and next thing you know he’s in jail so then he tries to get back on track with the help of sergeant brown.Christina is Kevin’s friend and she is has a very important part in this book.Finally now we talk about Christina’s father who wants press charges against Kevin for the crime he did but sergeant brown wants to change his mind.My favorite character was Kevin because he plays soccer very good and he has a good mindset with very interesting parts in the story and what happened in jail and the incident i find him very interesting.I liked this book a lot because it’s filled with action sports and a lot of drama.My favorite part of this book is when Kevin’s soccer team goes to the state cup finals against a very tough,hard,skilled and experienced team and they try all they try all they can to win it all.I would totally recommend this book to people who like sports and action-packed times even though it might be recommend for young adults it’s still a good book for really anyone who likes these type of books and if you guys don’t really like reading maybe because it’s either too boring or u just don't like it then this book might just change that.
Peter and the Starcatchers
ReplyDeleteIn an evocative and fast-paced adventure on the high seas and on a faraway island called Mollusk island, an orphan boy named Peter and his mysterious new friend, Molly, overcome bands of pirates and thieves in their quest to keep a fantastical secret safe and save the world from evil. But the thing is Peter’s not the only orphan who climbs aboard by the Never Land, there’s James, prentiss, Thomas and one whom goes by the name Tubby Ted. I’d have to say that Molly is someone that I would choose to have a friend because she’s so high-spirited and just always there for you. I find it amazing that Molly would always find as much help that she needs. If I didn’t want people reading this book then obviously I wouldn’t be typing this. If you like fantasy and classic Disney stories then you’ll love this book because it’s amazing how descriptive and imaginative on how it’s written between saying how the mermaids came to the Never Land and how Tinker Bell came into Peter’s life. To be honest there wasn’t really a favorite part in the book. Every sentence in every chapter just never bored me off, it was a page turner for me. Trust me if you read this book you’ll see for yourself because at the end of every chapter it persuades you in wanting to read more. I know that some of you have already read the book and may not have given enough interest in it but that’s only because you don’t have imagination and belief in magic to make you want to read it. Be a risk taker and give it chance, I mean at least read the first chapter and if you’re not interested then that’s your loss, if I had to scale it from one to ten I would give it a ten and a half. It’s especially that good to readers who love action, adventure and fairy tales then you’ll LOVE this series!!!
I remember reading it with Mrs.Magro.Everyone was so in to it because it is a good book:)
DeleteCaptain Nobody
ReplyDeleteBy Dean Pitchford
Newt Newmann and his friends JJ and Cecil have always been a nobody. Until Newt’s football star brother, Chris, gets knocked out in to a coma. To get his mind of the accident, JJ and Cecil dress him up in some of Chris’s old clothes and unexpectedly create a new identity. Captain Nobody! His new identity gives him so much confidence that he steps into the role of a hero. My favorite character is Newt because with the new costume and confidence he does things he never knew he was capable of. But will his brother ever wake up?
I enjoyed this book because there is a lot of adventure and silliness. Other people should read it because it’s a great story to be read. My favorite part of the book is the ending because it makes you all teary-eyed. I don’t have a least favorite part of the book because it doesn’t deserve one. For some readers it will touch their hearts. I would recommend this book to readers that don’t really like reading and to readers that like adventures. Captain Nobody is somebody you’ll like to spend time with.

Antonio Acuna PER 1"Kizzy Ann Stamps" historical nonfiction by: Jeri Watts is about a little black girl named "Kizzy Ann Stamps" and her trusty Border Collie "Shag". And she is worried about going to a new school. She’s worried how they’ll stare at her scar she got from a kid in a farming incident. And the boy that gave her the scar keeps following her and Shag.
ReplyDeleteNow she wants to enter shag in a herding compotion to test her skills in dog herding she is not even sure they’ll let a black girl compete. My favorite part is when they try to install a heater but it explodes. The sad part of this book is when Shag gets bit by a poisons snake. I thought the book was a great example of what life was like back then. I highly recommend this book for people who appreciate historical nonfiction.

My favorite book that I am going to write about is Flush by Carl Hiaasen. It is a Mystery. The Main characters name is Noah, and his sisters’ name is Abby. Although this book is a mystery, there is an adventure in it as well.
Noah’s dad is in the city jail for sinking the coral queen. He did this because he thought that all the Human waste that was on the Coral Queen (Lice Peking’s boat) was being flushed into the water. So that’s when Noah and Abby decide to figure it out on them self’s with each other. Abby and Noah will do whatever it takes to bust the coral queen.
When Noah’s dad gets out of his little city jail, he is determined to take down Lice Peking. But he was still on house probation (it’s were you have to wear some sort of bracelet) and he couldn’t go outside. That’s right after Noah meets a bartender on the Coral Queen, Shelly. Shelly didn’t like Lice so she was going on with the plan of busting him. If you are into books that just keep you on the edge, Then this is a perfect one for you
Percy Jackson Lightning Thief
ReplyDeleteIf you like reading about Greek gods and myths.This book is for you.The main character is Percy Jackson.He goes on a quest to find the person who stole Zeus’s weapon. Zeus blamed it on Percy.He and his friends Anabeth and Grover go on a epic adventure.
Wonder
ReplyDeleteHave you ever read a book that touched your heart forever. If you haven't, make sure to read the book Wonder. Wonder is written by an amazing woman named R.J. Palacio. The main characters in this story is August Pullman, Summer, Jack Will, Via Pullman, and Julian. August is a 10 year old boy who was born with craniofacial anomalies which means facial disorder. When August was smaller he would wear a space helmet everywhere he would go and he would never take it of. August is facing his first major challenge and that is going to school. In this story August Pullman goes into 5th grade at beecher prep middle school and goes through some hard times. August had to face some obstacles during school. One of those obstacles was meeting a mean kid named Julian, and Julian’s friends. My favorite character in this book is August Pullman because he never stopped believing in himself, and he always kept his head up even when people were making fun of him.
I enjoyed reading this book because its very interesting and i liked how it had more than one persons point of view. I believe you should read the book wonder because it gives a good message about always trying to challenge yourself to do something you are afraid of no matter what other people tell you.This book is so good it might even make you tear a little like it did to me.
I would recommend this book to any person in the world no matter how old you are.If you like realistic fiction books, i promise you will love this book after you read it. If you really love reading then go to the closest library to you and go check out the book Wonder.You will not regret getting it.
I cant wait to finish reading the book Wonder.
DeleteThe Last Olympian
ReplyDeleteI would like to introduce you to an amazing book by Rick Riordan called The Last Olympian. This book is amazing because the action in the book never stops. You always want to keep on reading because you want to see what happens next. The Last Olympian is the final book of the series Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
This story is about demi-gods that go into the titan war. The evil titan, Lord Kronos wants to take over the world. This is the second titan war, before the first titan war Kronos ruled the world. Kronos was so evil that he even ate his own children. When finally his wife gave birth to Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. She hid her most precious child, Zeus. But Kronos ate his other children since they were gods and he was not. When Zeus grew up he cut his father in half with his fathers weapon. Poseidon and Hades came out of their father’s body. Since they were gods they were not only alive but they were fully-grown. Together the brothers cut their father into tiny bits and threw him to Tartarus. Tartarus is the home of the evilest Greek monsters on earth.
I would recommend this to people that love fantasy fiction. If your kid that likes real life I would not recommend this book. This book has nothing to do with real life. But for some readers it is relaxing to get your mind off stress and life. I warn you though; you will never be able to get your eyes off this book. I would also recommend reading the series in order, but you will eventually get to this book.
Harris and Me
ReplyDeleteBy: Gary Paulsen
Harris and me is one of my favorite books in the universe because it kind of represents what I would do in this situation. This book is about a boy whose parents are alcoholics so he is sent to live with his aunt and uncle Knute and Claire. He finds out that there is a younger boy and girl named Harris and Glennis. Harris is a master at pulling off some pretty crazy stuff. Harris has a rivalry with a rooster named Bernie. Will this city boy adjust to farm life or will this boy be killed by Harris's stunts?
This book review was a bit too short, and I also think the last sentence isn't saying specifically what the book is about (I've read this before). On the contrary, Nobody can really judge a Gary Paulsen book just by the review, so everybody had better read this awesome book!
DeleteBluford High

The best book I have ever read is The Hunger Games, a dystopian novel by Suzanne Collins . This book is about an extremily bad society in the futre, where two people out of twelve districts get chosen to go to the 74th anual Hunger Games . The two main characters of the book are Katness Everdeen and Peeta Malark they are in district twelve the poorest disterict of them all, when they get chosen they go to an arena to fight for threre lives.
ReplyDeleteI like this book because it has a little bit of action, adventure and romance. My favorite part of the book is the ending. I also like this book because its mainly about a dystopian society . A dystopian novel is an imagenary place that is in bad condition.
I like this book alot and I recomend this book if you are
the kind of person that likes a little action and adventure and romance, and alot of dystopian novels.

Maximum Ride
ReplyDeleteStrap yourself in for the best adventure of your life. A science fiction fantasy, MAXIMUM RIDE, by James Patterson. The book was an about six kids how seemed normal but were actually ninety-eight percent human and two percent bird. They grew up in a lab and then they escaped, so now they are on one big adventure to escape the Erasers. The characters names are Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Angel. Then they lived peacefully for a while, but then the Erasers came and lets just say they now have to get Angel back. My favorite character is Fang because he is so mysterious and sneaky like and I can’t say more about him so I don’t spool it. I think u should read MAXIMUM RIDE because it fabulous and intriguing to read I recommend this book to any one that likes science fiction
I have never really read science fiction books but I am absolutely going to try this one.
DeleteSounds interesting! :) Those are weird character names, by the way.
DeleteI had heard about this book but I didn't know what it was about. I will have to read it sometime! :)
DeleteAmulet
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion I think Amulet is a great book. The story is about a girl who got chosen by an Amulet and has to stop the Elf king. The main characters are his family, bounty hunter, and the Elf kings son. The main characters were trying to help her defeat the Elf king. I loved the book because there was a lot of action and adventure. My least favorite part in the book was the beginning it was a little dry if you know what I mean. You should read this book if you like a lot of adventure and action and if you read this book then tell me a comment about it.
If you like historical fiction books with war in it then I recommend the book I pledge allegiance because it’s about four best friends and when one of them is drafted into the Vietnam war, the others sign up too because they made a packed a long time ago and that packed was that they don’t leave a man behind in any situation. And did I mention that their names were Morris, Rudi, Ivan and Beck. Morris joins the US Navy and he makes it his personal mission to watch over his friends but do you think he will accomplish that goal or not. My favorite character in this story is Morris because he is the oldest person in the story and he made it his mission to look over his friends and I like people like that if you know what I mean. I like this book because its based on friends and war.
ReplyDeletewonder is about a kid named August that has special needs and now he goes to b. the main characters are august, summer, jack, via and julian. first of all summer is august best friend she alway hangs out with august. august is a kid that has never been to a school so its is first time. julian is the bad guy in this story because he doesn't like august. jack is also august friend finally it's via. via is august’s sister, via protects august from anybody.
ReplyDeletein this book august and his friend have a lot of problems like julian starreted a fight between him and august.my favorite character is via because she cares about his little brother, august. this is a really good book and i think you schold read it at the same time its inspiring and i really love it. my favorite part of the book was when august found his new friend because he is happy and i im too. my least favorite was when the book was ending becaue its a really good book.
i would recommend this book because its good and all and you can get a buch of point by taking a quiz on this book. my favorite part is when the doggie get’s sick. if you like star wars or gossiping this might be your book.if you don't like really but really long book wonder might be your book because its not that long.
The fith graders at Laketon Elementary Shool like talk. In fact , they talk so much that their teachers have name them ' The Unshushables ' .

ReplyDeleteTHIS BOOK IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! fast paced and thrilling one moment you're reading about a normal(ish) kid the next you find out hes a greek demigod hero battling monsters and gods try to recover a lost lighting bolt from his crazy half uncle with a daughter of Athena and a half man half goat satyr

ReplyDeleteMy favorite book is The First Day of School…. Forever! By R.L. Stine (Fiction)
The book is about a middle schooler named Artie that goes to a middle school named Ardmore Middle School. When he bumps his head on the floor he knows it’s going to go terribly wrong on the first day of school and when his little brother spills syrup on his hair. The main characters are Mr.Jenks the principal, Shelly (Arties crush), Mrs.McVie the teacher, Wowser the dog, Brick the bully and Artie’s little brother Eddy.
I enjoyed the book because it makes you not want to stop and it makes you keep turning pages .My favorite part of the book was when he told his mom that he knows what’s going to happen after the first day of school that repeats … and repeats…. And repeats and his mom didn’t believe him. My least favorite part of the book was when Artie walks in the school library and he sees a bunch of weird monsters and I got pretty scared. Well I would say that the people that don’t really like to read I would suggest reading this book its short and scary to read.
I would absolutely recommend this book because if you like fiction and scary books then this is the right book for you to read. If you totally don’t like books I absolutely love this book and if I enjoyed it I know you would too.
The book I am reviewing is about a girl named Bethany Hamilton. She lives in Kauai and her passion is surfing. Her dream is to become a professional surfer. She comes from a family of surfers. One day while surfing with her best friend a tragic happened. The main characters in the book are Bethany, her mom and dad, 2 brothers and her best friend Alana. One day while surfing at Haena State Beach Bethany and Alan experience a horrible accident that they will never forget. My favorite character in the book is Bethany because she worked hard to achieve her dreams even when it looked like she couldn't. She believed in herself and never gave up. I liked the books because Bethany never gave up no matter what her challenges were. My favorite part of the book is when she got back up on her surf board. My least favorite party is when she had her accident. If you like to read biographies and enjoy a story about faith and believing in yourself you would like this book. I don't recommend this book if you don't like sad stories because even though it is happy it has sad parts too.
ReplyDeleteDiary of a Wimpy Kid Cabin Fever is a realistic fiction about a middle school student named Greg Heffley. He is on winter break and has to survive in his flooded house during a snowstorm with his mom, little brother, Manny, and his older brother ,Rodrick, while his dad is on a business trip. He also worries he’s on Santa’s naughty list. My favorite character is Manny because he does bad things and Greg and Rodrick get blamed for it.
ReplyDeleteI love this book and others should read it too because it’s hilarious. My favorite part of the book was when Greg faints when he finds a bunch of crickets in a board game.I really don’t have a least part because its such a funny book. Others might also say it’s cute or lifelike.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone. It would be a great book for the winter break that's coming up.
Faith S. Period 6.
ReplyDeleteThe story is told from two perspectives. One from a girl named Rose who lives in the 20s and boy named Ben who lives in the 70s. Rose's story is told through pictures and Ben's through words. The two stories intertwine in the most fitting way.
I thought the combination of words and pictures was perfect for the story of Rose and Ben. This story explains the love of art, of museums, of books and most of all people. I loved both the characters but I think I gravitated toward Ben more, and that's because his story was told in words and I'm a reader, of course I love words. But the pictures were no slouch in the storytelling. I could feel myself being tugged into the story and the illustrations gave an atmosphere of the book that the words probably couldn't do alone. The author is a gifted illustrator.
The most impressionable part for me was how happy I felt for the characters after I finished the story. Not in a way but in a way that can be understood by being a human being. That way the story can creep and crawl into you just the way it should.
Faith, this is a great book review! However, you never saw which book it is and who is the author? And which genre is the book?

The main characters are a little girl and their grandparents. The main characters are preparing for Christmas in their tradition. The main characters didn’t run into any problems.

One of the boys Peter throws a snow ball and tries to hit another boy but instead it hits someone else. Their teacher Mr. Terupt .Mr. Terupt goes into the hospital because he is in a coma.

DeleteUnstoppable by Tim Green
ReplyDeleteby Cole Pritchard
Unstoppable by is probably the best book I have ever read. Its genre is realistic fiction. It is good because it is not a huge book that you will get bored but thank god it isn't short so that you will finish it very fast. I would definately recommend it to anyone who likes sports.
In the beginning of the book i think it starts up a little slow but is definitely worth it if you keep reading. He is a orphan living with a horrible foster family but just when he thought he was about ready to run away he got transferred to a family with the husband who prefers to be called coach with a lovely wife who acts like a loving mother. Things are going good for harrison,hes on the football team,has a best friend and great foster parents. But will he be able to handle probably the hardest challenge of his life?
In conclusion i think this is a great book for anyone who is involved in sports or just anyone looking for a good book. Its great how it hooks you in to the point where you have to finish every chapter. I rate it 10 out of 10 and as i have said before this is probably the best book i have ever read. Just read it and you will be agreeing with me!

ReplyDeleteJurassic Park
Michael Crichton
The best book I have ever read is the one and the only JURASSIC PARK. This book is described as a tornado-paced tale, fast, furious and suspenseful, a sure-fire bestseller, a vastly entertaining science thriller, action-packed, and a 100% very scary story that you will NEVER forget! In fact, it was so popular that the book later got transformed into a movie!
The book is about a company called InGen that has genetically created dinosaurs and Dr. Alan Grant (The main character and my personal favorite!) has come to the island to see how these marvelous creatures lived as Dr. Grant himself is a paleontologist. But things go horribly wrong as the power mysteriously goes out and the dinosaurs break out of their containment pens. And what’s worse, is that not ALL of the dinosaurs are harmless as it is later revealed that InGen has also created carnivorous dinosaurs! Will the good paleontologist escape this nightmare…ALIVE? You’ll have to read the book to find out!
My favorite part is when the Tyrannosaurus (T-rex for short!) broke out of it’s pen and terrorizes the survivors which lead me to worry about what would happen next!
Any Questions? Comment now and whoever likes science fiction or scary books will find Jurassic Park a phenomenal experience!
Ameliano this is impeccable writing! I love your enthusiasm and vocabulary! This book is defiantly on my list of, "to reads" now. Great job to my future :)

DeleteWarriors: Into The Wild is a fantasy book about a cat named Rusty who wants to live in the wild. The main characters are Rusty, Bluestar, and Graypaw. Bluestar is the leader of Thunderclan so she has to run it while Rusty, now called Firepaw, and Graypaw are training to become apprentices. They run into many problems like a fellow apprentice Ravenpaw witnessed a cat, Redtail, be murdered by a clanmate, Tigerclaw. They had many adventures but you will have to read the series to find out
ReplyDeleteI loved the book/series. I thought they were all very well written and I encourage you to read the series. I loved all of it because the book is so fascinating because they have all have a purpose in the clan and they have rituals and a belief system. I have no least favorite part in the book. If you are not a fan of cats then read Seekers which is about bears or Survivors which is about dogs. I would recommend this book if you like cats, fantasy, or both!

ReplyDeleteIf you like mystery books with action and cliff hanging suspense you’ll love the first book in the Hardy Boys series The Tower Treasure by Franklin W. Dixon. This book has an AR level of 5.4so it’s not too hard for most people to read and follow.
Frank and Joe Hardy are brothers who solve mysteries along with their good buddy Chet. The book starts off with someone with red hair stealing Chet’s car. While trying to find Chet’s stolen car they get involved in helping to solve a jewel heist at the Tower Mansion. So now the Hardy boys along with the help of their detective father have to solve the mystery and prove the innocence of their friend Perry’s father.
So now they have to prove the innocence of Perry’s father and find the criminal who stole Chet’s car. So now that you know a little about the book I think you’ll in joy it.
Wonder
ReplyDeleteI would consider you read this book because it talks about a kid named August and how he gets made fun of because of his birth defect. August he has this rare defect to where his face doesn't look normal it looks like if he was in a fier. It talks about everyone stares at him. If i had a brother that had a rare birth defect I would be really mad if he got made fun of at school. If i looked like him i would probably kill myself because of all the stress and of everybody always staring at me. In the middle of the book August meets a girl named Summer and she isn't like all the other typical girls she is one of the nice one anyway so Summer goes to sit down and August thinkin that she was just coming to make fun of him but instead she goes and asks for his name and he replies and the end up being really good friends. SO GO GET THE BOOK AND READ IT !!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteWonder is a really interesting book. This book is about a boy named August that has a medical condition. He goes to school for the first time and starts 5th grade. While August is in school there are people that people that are nice to him and there are also people that are mean to him. My favorite character is Summer. She is my favorite character because she was one of August's first friends and she was always there for him.
I LOVE THIS BOOK!!! My favorite part of the book is when August graduates from 5th grade. My least favorite part is when Daisy August's dog dies. You might think that "Wonder" is a really boring book buy TRUST ME ITS NOT!!

Wonder is about a boy named August and he has a face that isn't exactly...ordinary. In this book Jack will, Via, Julian, Justin, Summer and Miranda all have a chapter that explains there problems and feelings about August. Many of them also explain their family problems, social problems and school problems also. My favorite character was August because he was very brave and intelligent. Another reason I love this book is because I love reading about Auggie's adventure in fifth grade at Beecher Prep.
I love this book because it has really nice detail. I don't remember the last time I enjoyed a book as much as I did to this book! My favorite part was when Auggie's sister,Via, describes what August looks like, and I have to say he looks a lot different then I imagined he would. I'm pretty sure there wasn't one part I didn't like about the book.
I strongly recommend this book because it have very short chapters for those of you who like to have a place to stop and it has non-stop action. That book was glued to my eyes! This is a great realistic-fiction all ages, but WARNING: When reading have tissues in reach!! Now go read Wonder!!!
The best book that I have ever read was Wonder by R.J. Palacio. Wonder is my favorite book because it’s about a ten year old kid named August Pullman. August has Treacher Colins syndrome.
ReplyDeleteHe was born with the syndrome; the syndrome is that you have a whole bunch of different layers of problems. When August was a little kid he had a whole bunch of surgeries now his face is all messed up and all deformed. I cannot tell you how he looks I do not want to be a spoiler. August needs hearing aids.
When you read this book every chapter is a different person of Augusts friends and family members like Jack, Summer, Via, and Miranda. Watch as August goes to school for his first time in 11 years. Watch as he makes friends and enemies in his first year in 5th grade. I think that everyone should at least read 25 pages of the book then you would get sucked into the book so read the book!!

The main character was Frank a chicken. Frank tried to become a duck. Frank had a big struggle to get everyone to believe him.
My favorite character was Frank because he was so silly and funny wanting to become a duck. I really liked this book. It was really funny and amazing.

JUDY MOODY is a girl who is in 3rd grade who tries to do everything herself.Shes not that’s smart but she is a good thinker of imagining thing that will and will not happen. My favorite character is Judy because she is a funny, crazy, and a thinker. My favorite part of each book is that she always imagines things that she can do which aren’t true. JUDY MOODY is my favorite character, my favorite book of her is that doctor’s one, and she thinks she can save everything because she imagines it, but that is not true. She may but may not do things right, she also is a curious. I recommend this book that you guys may or May not like I love this book and I hope you guys do to.

ReplyDeleteThe fourth stall authored by Chris, Rylander. It is a funny and interesting book to find a first grader who started his own business at school in first grade. The boy was nicknamed Mac and made a best friend named Vince who helped with his business that soon became theirs. Their business was to solve anyone’s problem if they came, they would only do it for money, so when if some one needed help with something they would have to pay Mac and Vince for help. Mac and Vince later have a problem with their own business and they have to help their own selves to get through what they know that it is the hardest problem they ever had to face. This book is detailed and interesting on what a fifth grader has to do for the survival of his business and himself.
Wonder is about a kid named August. That has special needs and now he goes to Beecher prep middle school. The main characters are august, summer, jack, via and Julian. First of all, Summer is August best friend she always hangs out with August. August is a kid that has never been to a school so its is first time and It’s his first time. Julian is the bad guy in this story because he doesn't like August at all. Jack is also August’s best friend. finally, it's Via. Via is august’s big sister, via protects august from anybody.
ReplyDeleteIn this book August and his friend have a lot of problems like Julian started a fight between him and his friends and August’s friends.My favorite character is Via because she cares about his little brother, August. in my opinion this is a really good book and i think you should read it at the same time its inspiring and i really love it and you should read it. My favorite part of the book was when August found a new friend because he is happy and i am too. My least favorite was when the book was ending because its a really good book.
I would recommend this book because its good and all and you can get a bunch of point by taking a quiz on this book. My least favorite part is when the Daisy get’s sick. If you like star wars or gossiping this might be your book.If you don't like really but really long book wonder might be your book because its not that long. You should really read this awesome book.

When he comes home for a break the Japanese attack Hawaii to start what is known by Pearl Harbor. After the Japanese attack, the army starts to treat the Japanese U.S soldiers differently. Eddy’s experience in the army changes throughout the book. Eddy who is accompanied by his two old friends named Chik and Cobra. He also meets other Japanese U.S soldiers. Okubo and his friends get sent off to a secret island. There they have a special mission on the island: to be dog bait for the military guard dogs.
As you read you will see the experience of Eddy Okubo. The book easily caught my attention with the description of the lifestyle of the Okubo family. My favorite part of the book is the ending because is very emotional.
This book looks good, i think i am going to read it.
DeleteThis sounds like a great book, I like the action in books i read so ill give it a try.

A Little Princess
ReplyDeleteThe book A Little Princess is a awesome historical fiction book by Frances Hodgson Burnett. This book is about a little girl named Sarah Crewe and her lost fortune after her father Captain Crewe died.The main characters in this book are Sarah Crewe, Mrs Minchin, and Captain Crewes friend. Sarah Crewe is a young little girl who went through a lot. Even tho Sarah Crewe was rich we was very humble yet she was very humble. My favorite character in this book is Sarah Crewe because she was very kind and caring.
I really liked this book because its historical fiction and its very touching. My favorite part of this book is when she found a little poor girl outside a bakery. My least favorite part of this book is when Mrs.Minchin sends Sarah to live in the basement. In my opinion this book is very good because its heart-warming.
If you dont like reading big books i recommend you to read A Little Princess because its a short story. This book is very interesting for those people who like reading historical fiction books. I would recommend this book to all the people because even tho its a short story it still has many meaning to it, and it gives a good message to never be spoiled and be grateful for what you get.
Stone Soup by Jon J. Muth
ReplyDeleteStone Soup is about three monks going to a village and asking people for food. The people don’t trust any strangers and so they don’t give them any food when they asked. They decided to make stone soup. The problem in this story is that nobody would share anything with anyone. The monks end up having to trick them so that will give them something. The main characters were Hok, Lok and Siew. My favorite character is Siew because he asked for all the food. J
My favorite part is the end, but you have to read to figure it out for yourself. My favorite part was when they all sat down like a family and ate, told stories and sang songs together.
I do recommend this book because it’s a good book to read and I think a lot of people would like it. I liked the book because my father told me this story when I was a kid, but it was a different Mexican version. All in all, I recommend this book.
GETTING AIR
ReplyDeleteGetting air is about 3 boys who are skateboarders. All they want to do is get sponsored and become famous. The main characters of the book are David, Zimmerman, and Henry. They were on their way to the x games but four hijackers took the plane and they had to do something about it. The characters had a lot of adventures like having to look for water and food. They had to go hunting but that didn’t work as they planned. I really liked this book; it is my all time favorite book. I think everyone should read this book because it is funny, silly and very serious. My favorite part of the book is when the highjackers took charge; I didn’t even see that coming at all. My least favorite part is when it rained and they all ran out with no clothes on. It was kind of odd. People who like adventures and skating will love this book.
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Hard Luck
ReplyDeleteBy Jeff Kinney
Diary of a Wimpy Kid Hard Luck is the 7th book in the series of Diary of a Wimpy Kid. The main characters are Greg Hefley and Rowley Jefferson. In this one Greg and Rowley are having a tough time with their friendship. In this book Greg gets into a lot of problems such as trying to get Rowley back by being a better friend, finding new friends and many others. To be honest, my favorite character is Greg just because you never know what crazy challenges he will face next.
I personally love the entire collection of Wimpy Kid books including this one. My favorite part of the book is when the tides shift between Greg and Rowley and you get to see if they will remain friends. I honestly didn’t have a least favorite part of the book because I love the whole book.
I would personally recommend this book and the entire series to all types of readers even if you hate reading. I would also recommend this book and series to everyone who likes to read mainly due to what goes on in our daily lives and what similarities to real life are in this book.
Jesus galvan per.5 The book that I choose to do my book review on is the Six Innings.The genre of this book is sports.The author of this book is James Preller.So if you like baseball then you should read this book.The story takes places on a baseball field in texas the city of austin.The book starts out really slow but then when you get closser to the end of the book it starts to get more interesting.My favorite part of this book is the end becuase the game is a very close game.My favorite charater is Dylan becaues to me I feel like he plays baseball just like I do.during the game he has a little insedent becuase has he throws one of his pitches he throws out his arm and his coach wants him to sit out the rest of the game,but he says in the game and finishes off the game and I like how he does not quit even though his arm hurts.So like I siad if you like books about baseball thewn this is a book that you should pick up and read.

Mrs Heartt
In Anthony Horowitz’s action-packed spy novel, Skeleton Key, the protagonist, Alex Rider, encounters more than he expects in the evil---yet---kindhearted villain, General Sarov, an old Russian war hero turned bitter by the way Russia has changed, in his eyes, for the worse.
Alex is a fourteen-year-old MI-6 agent who leaves his country of Great Britain to work for the CIA. (Alex has to leave Britain because of his defeat of a Chinese Triad member, but that’s another story.) Alex’s mission is to work alongside CIA agents, Carver and Troy, to find the one-kilogram of military grade uranium in Sarov’s possession. With this uranium Sarov plans to make a bomb and blow up part of Russia. Alex’s mission is launched into disarray when his partners are killed and Sarov captures him. When Alex is held prisoner but treated like a guest, he can’t believe it when Sarov reveals his intention to adopt Alex. One of Sarov’s minions, Conrad, who has metal pins all over his body, flies Alex and Sarov to a Russian naval dock with seven nuclear powered submarines, where he places the uranium on one of the submarines with a crane, and handcuffs Alex to a rail. Alex escapes and he and Conrad battle until Alex manages to get Conrad under the magnet on the crane. Alex then drops Conrad into the water and deactivates the uranium bomb Sarov made. Sarov asks Alex to join him as a son again and Alex refuses, saying he has nothing but contempt for such a diabolical mind. What follows next is the most unexpected part of the book ever.
The most suspenseful and my favorite part of the book is the climax where Conrad and Alex battle. Alex’s wits save him from the formidable Conrad, who cannot feel pain and will stop at nothing to kill Alex.
I recommend this book to any adolescent who loves action and fast–paced adventure.
A Child Called “It”
ReplyDeleteThe book is extraordinary. It’s AMAZING how the author explains every little detail. I love the passion and the love and sadness in the book. When I read it I couldn’t stop crying till the very last word. The way the mother hit the little kid the way he suffered. No child should be treated that way. His only hope was his dad, but then after a while his dad broke all his promises, his promises about getting out of the house, trying to escape. It was unfair hoe the mom treated him he had two older brothers. The mom would always let them go outside and play. While his brothers were out there playing he would be doing the chores and other things. Instead of his mom calling him by his first name the would call him “The Boy”. David would try to make the best of it. He would struggle, but get back up and try. Sometimes he felt like a hero. Each time he would get in trouble it would either be a smack in the face or a punch in the face if it wasn’t bad. David would not eat and if he got luck he would eat left over cereal from his brother. He would go early in the morning to school to steal food from kids or the cafeteria .

If you are young you should read wonder to see how Wonder, Summer, Jack will, Julian see how they overcome there teen ages. this is my favorite book because , Its about a boy named wonder who has a weird disorder to his face. He’s a very smart kid but people don’t think of him as a smart kid. Wonders mom wanted him to go to school for his 5th grade year. His mom applied for a school called beacher prep. Wonder got except to the school he was very scared to go to school but find out how he deals with it. Its a very good book threw out and you see how disabled people overcome life. The book me not to stare or make fun of kids that don’t have it as good as me. I would recommend this book for kids that are growing up into their early teens. it just teaches a life lesson. a reader with a big heart would enjoy this book.
