Tuck Everlasting

To start off, I am going to judge this book by it's cover. When you pick up this book, you probably will think to yourself, ''This looks really boring.'' And set it down, but I am here to change your point of view. When I first picked up this book, I thought the exact same thing and set it down. A year later, I picked up the book again and thought the same thing. This year, for my birthday, my sisters game me all the books they liked from when they were my age. My sister Zoe gave me lots of incredible books, and so did my sister Ella. But my sister Ella also gave me Tuck Everlasting. Of course, since I read all of Zoe's books, and most of Ella's books I had to read Tuck Everlasting or it would be offensive. When I read the first couple of pages I still thought it was boring, but I kept telling myself I had to read it. When I got to about the middle of the book I got really intrigued. Because there is this kind of water that the Tuck family found that can make you last forever, and one of the sons Jesse was telling Winnie that when she was 17, she should drink some of the water and then they can get married and live forever. But the whole story has a catch to it, it sturns out that it is really miserable after you drink the water because you live forever but you will always stay whatever age you were when you drank the water. I would give this book an 8 because it's really good, but it doesn't get very good untill the middle.

The Titan's curse

I just finished this series(Percy Jackson & The Olympians) and I really, liked it. One of the things that made the series really great is the author's style. I like the author's style because:

*He wrote with lot of energy.
*He made the characters sound like real kids.
*He kept things moving.
*It was fast paced.
*He has a good sense of humor.
*He had the characters move from place to place.

In the Titan's curse I liked how it took place in San Francisco and on Mount Tam!

This is a great series! I would highly recommend it!

The Mouse And His Child

The book The Mouse And His Child by Russan Hoban starts out in a toy store on Christmas eve when a toy mouse and his child are sold to people and later a cat destroys them and they are thrown away. A human fixes them and sets them off free to find the elaphant, the seal, and live as a happy family in the toy house. They go though many adventures and meet many people on there exciting jurney. I would recamend this book for almost everyone because you can really enjoy the book and really be in it. The beginning went on very slowly but then you really get in to it because it gets all dangerous and exciting and it makes you read on all the way to the end, not wanting to stop.

My Life In France

My Life In France is a book about Julia Child. How she got to know french cooking, how she met Paul(her husband) and how she became an all time time famous chef.

This book is very informatoinl, so it would only do for very advanced readers that like nonfictoin.

I really do like this book because in fourth grade I was Julia Child for famous Californians. So now I can compare the information that I found out, to the information that the author, Alex Prud'homme, got. I think that the author got more accurate info because he interviewed THE Julia Child.

Dive the Deep #2

The first book of dive was very confusing to me. This was because every couple of chapters Gordon Korman would put two page chapters about the history of the what was going on. That's not the only part that's mysterious about these books. When four divers go away on a internship you wonder why their all not very good divers. Then when Dante one of the four teen interns finds something shinny thins really start to get fishy. I like mysterious books so this book really fit for me at some parts it even got spooky and tense.

Witch Child

This title may make you think that this is about some girl with an amazing power that's secret and it's all fantasy. Well there you are wrong. This book is actually Historical Fiction. See it is during the Colonial times, and what they would do to you if they thought you where a Witch. I really liked it because it actually came from a girls diary. This girl's grandmother was proven guilty of being a Witch. Because of that she was sent away from her town to Salem. She thought that she would be safe from everyone accusing her but instead it just gets worse. I think that this book was really interesting because they thought that ( to me the silliest) things prove you guilty. One accusation in particular is if you float. I think that just because someone has buoyancy they shouldn't be accused of something that can cost them their life. Like take my sister, she is really buoyant, if you put her in the pool she floats with her heels out of the water. Just trust me on this one, she is far from being a witch. The thing is that the people who believed you where a witch where I think just scared. I mean so much is against these poor people. Take the girl in the book for example. She saved a baby who everyone thought was dead life. When she got on the ship suddenly there where a ton of rabbit sightings. She went into a neighboring settlement and as soon as she did that family got sick and their mom died. So I can see both sides of this, I think the towns people where just scared is all, and can you blame them? Wouldn't you be scared if some person walked into your house and you suddenly got sick? But then at the same time maybe someone floats because they know how to swim? I think that it is truly amazing if you think about it. I mean people are ready to believe anything when they're scared. But the results can be a real tragedy. So that's my idea for you.

Life of Pi

Yann Martel

Life of Pi is about a 16 year old named Pi who finds him self on a boat stranded in the middle of the ocean, with only a huge Bengal tiger on the boat with him.

So far Pi is just a kid who lives in a zoo and helps tame animals. I think at this point in life I would make my life more interesing. I probably would go on the cruise... but not have a crash.

I think this book is very interesting. It has a lot of description. If I were Pi, I would learn to become friends with the tiger. Besides the fact I didn't grow up in a zoo like Pi did. So he probably has more experience with tigers. From a scale on 1-10 I would give it a 9.9. It falls because it is kind of slow. But if I had to do a whole number... 10 for sure.

The Golden Compass

I am reading this book with my dad. This book is about a girl how lives at Jordan College in England.This book has a lot of old English in it. It also has a lot of hard grammar. I think it's a great book to help you get better grammar. I know that I've have learned a lot more words. We have to look up words we don't know; but it makes the book even better because we know what the words mean.

Miracle on 49th Street by Mike Lupica

This is an amazing book! There is this girl who has no father and her mother just recently past away. So she is living in the house of a friend of her mom's who has a daughter named Kim. Since her mother died she has been trying to find out who her father was. When she goes to Boston she meets the best basketball player on the Celtics. He tells her that he was the man dating her mother when she died. Be but he sends security when she tries to convince him that he is her father. Join her on her journey through Boston and New York to convince a basketball player that he is her dad. I rate this book a ten because of the great description and the fun, lucky, and unlucky journey through two winter cities.

The Wish

In this book there is this girl named Wanda. At the begging of the book Wanda was pretty much of a no one but then she meets this lady on the subway but the lady is actually a wich and grants Wadna a wish wich is to be really popular at school. She then goes to school about a day later and she is really popular and gets all of these notes from boys and girls and some where anonamis.
I would give this book a 10 because it is about a girl sort of like me and the begging of the book has a really good hook and I would definetly recommened it to most girls who would like books about sort of fairy tales but also about ragular girl and sort of popular girls.
I could definetly relate to the begging of the book because Wanda has a pretty normal life like me and she has a dog that in the book sounds really cute and nice! I just love this book so much and just like it says I woud definetly recommened it to most of the girls in my class and maybe boys if they like sort of girly book.

101 Ways to Bug Your Parents

Just if you would like to know, this book is about a kid who loves inventing and has plans to go to San Francisco for an inventors convention to meet up with a famous inventor to show him one of his inventions that so he can put it on the market. But then his parents cancel his vacation because of money problems. But then he comes up with an idea that will let him go with, or without his parents. I think this is an ingenious book. I love how sneeze (that's the main characters name)and hiccup (that's his friends nickname) work together to test all of the different ways to annoy sneeze's parent's for the book he is making. I also like the stories from the golf club sneeze and hiccup work at. I'm not quite sure why, but it just sounded fun to me. I love the plot of the story too. It runs in a nice order which is something I always like to have. I also love electricity and things related to that. I really don't actually know why I like this type of genre, but I did the best could. I'd give this book a 10 out of 10 for a rating. I really recomend it

The Giver

The Giver is about a boy named Joana. He lives in a community that is very interesting. I liked this book because it is sad and fun. They get a job at the age of 12 and their life takes a turn. Their life is all about rules.

I don't think I would like to live in their world because the kids have to do things that would make me really sad. I think this book is good for book clubs because you can have a lot of discussions about what is happening. This book is sad in a lot of places but is also very happy in many places. I would give this a well deserved 10.

The 6th Grade Nickname Game

The 6th grade Nickname Game by Gordon Korman has two main characters, Wiley and Jeff. They hve fun giving people nicknames. Here are some nicknames they gave kids and why they have them. Peter Widman got stuck with the name "Skunk" because of his brown hair with a blonde wide streak going back on his head. He can't help it but Charles Rossi spies a lot so he got the nickname of "Snoopy". Cassndra Levy, the new girl at school, for some reason they just can't think of a nickname for her. Most of the people like thair nickname but some don't. I predict that Cassandra will never get a nickname. This book gets a 8 1/2 because I didn't finish it.

Mick Harte Was Here

This book is all about Phoebe and Mick. They are brother and sister and they fight all the time. One day Phoebe is looking through a cearal box for a skull and cross bones tatoo. Mick walks in and grabs the cearal box and starts looking through it. THey start to fight over the tatoo. In the end they go to school. But they did not know that it would be their last morning togheth. Later that afternoon Mick is riding on his bike to a friends house without his helmet on. He hits a rock and crashes into a truck. He gets massive head injury. THe hospital can't help him and he dies. It is very sad how Phoebe goes through the 5 stages of grief denial, anger, bargaining, and acceptance. In my opinon it is a very sad book. But it teaches kids about bike safty. I would rate this book a 9.5. Becuase it is sad but is good in teaching kids about safty

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Harry Potter 2 is a great book to read, I recommend it because it has action, magic and humor. What more could you ask for in a book? But I do recommend reading the first book before you read this, it will make a lot more sense that way. I would probally give it a 10 because it just gets into me. Its just cool line after cool line. Basically, there is Harry the main, and on his 12th birthbay at night he meets this creature who tells him not to go back to Hogwarts School of Witch Craft and Wizardry. He doens't listen to him though and go's back. But was that a mistake for Mr. Potter? Read the book to find out.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is about a factory that was closed for about 10 years. So Willy Wonka invites five children and only one family member to go along with them and they have a journey. The last kid that was good got a surprise not just any surprise but a great surprise. I really like this book because it is funny. But I don't want to give it away. Has anybody in the class read it?

Forever...

Forever... by Judy Bloom is a great book! But it isn't really for 5th graders. There are a ton of innapropriate scenes but the rest of the book is fantastic. This book is about a girl who's friends invite her to a party. She meets a boy there named Michael and it's like love at first sight. They soon be come boyfriend and girlfriend and do everything together. My reason for thinking that it's so good is it's really easy to get soaked up in the book. I picked up the book, sat on my couch, and read it for an hour straight through, I had 30 pages left but I made myself save some because I didn't want to stop reading it! This book is in the realistic fiction catergory and the main characters in it are 17 or 18. This book gets me soaked up because you really feel like your part of the story. Also, if you wan't to read this book, it's a good idea to ask your parents permission first. I give this book a 10+

So You Want to be a Wizard

Do you like the Harry Potter series? If you do, you should read So You Want to be a Wizard. It is about a girl named Nita and a boy named Kit who live in New York City. They are wizards in training. One day the were working on a spell and got trapped in a "darker" New York City with lots of evil things. Will they be able to escape? When I first got the book, I was excited to read it, yet I was scared. The cover has a very scary picture on the front. Since I was reading it at night I got scared and had to put a book cover over the cover. Now, since I finished the book, I am going to take the book cover off. I liked this book because I am into wizards. I also liked this book because the kids are about our age so I could relate to them a lot. I love this book and would rate this a 10. This is the first book in the Young Wizardry series so, if you like this book there are more fabulas books to read with Nit and Nita.

Chasing Vermeer

Chasing Vermeer, is about the mysterious disappearance of a painting. Two kids try to solve this mystery. There are many confusing clues, from puzzles to dreams, this book will keep you "in the zone". Chasing Vermeer is very exiting, it is unpredictable, creative, and it kept me wired in. In the end, all of the clues began to fit together. I just cant believe the who the thief was...and the rest you will have to figure out! I think that Blue Balliet did a very good job writing this book. I also loved the illustrations. This book is great to read. Chasing Vermeer taut me about art, and how much it means to some people. I also learned about the artist, Charles Vermeer.

The Dark is Rising

I saw part of the movie. So far in the book there is a kid called Will and he is the son of the seventh son. The Dark is Rising is all about a boy that turns 11 and becomes a seeker for the signs. This book is about the dark and the light fighting for evil and justice. the signs are to take on the dark that is trying to destroy all humanity. By doing so Will must find all signs in the past and the future before a special time limit for the world to end. I am not very far in the book but it has been a very good book!. On a scale of one to ten i would give it a 10 because it is a suspending and thriling adventure and a scary book. That is why i would give it a 10!.

The BFG

I am reading the BFG. There is a girl named Sofie & she is an orphenig. She gets taken away by the BFG. The BFG takes Sofie to his house. Sofie thinks the gint is going to eat her. But the gint dosen't eat her. The gint tells her that all the other gints eat little girls. I wouldn't like to meet a gint sometime.

Maximum Ride

Maximum Ride is all about six children who are illegally, genetically engineered to fly!
They have bird wings on their back!
But be warned, this book has a ton of nonstop action and I hily recomend to read the Pendragon series, ( by D.J. Machale) before reading this book.
This is a book for people who like action and a wee bit of violence.

Half Magic

This book is about four children and the second yungist finds a nickl and when someone has the nickle and they wish for someone their wishes come half true. They wish for all different wishes, like they wished that they were at the time of Camolot true times more. And wanted to go to the desrt and when they came back from Camilot, they went to the movies an the oldest sister was mean to the youngest sister so she went under the oldest sisters chair. Then she wished she wasnt even alive so she got dimer and dimer till she looked like a ghost. Then she went threw the mall and everyone thought she was a ghost so she turnd into the ghost. I'm going to have to tell you that 7 is a magic number so thats how many days she can get back to her normal self but her trip she already had was a cupel days. Will they prevent her from disappearing?

The Book of Story Beginings

First off this book is not a book with a bunch of beginnings that you make up the rest. No, no, no, that's what's the book is manly about. See there is this boy named Oscar, he found a book, it was called the book of story beginnings, there was a creepy warning in the front, but did he pay attention, I bet you can guess. Because of this book he becomes lost in it's stories, until his sister re-dreams what happens and then in Lucy, ( Oscar's great niece) gets dragged into the adventure a long with him. She finds the book to, ( wow it must run in their family to not pay attention to warnings) then she right's a story and accidentally brings Oscar years into the future. Will they save Millie, Captain Mack, the entire Cat'n'berd Island, each other, Tom, and so many others? Well, you'll just have to read it for your self. But realize that before you read it you are dragging yourself into an ever going (until you finish that is) story. It really dragged me in because of how "around every bend in the mountain side you find and new" oasis you could say. I really liked it because it was so adventurous.

Chew On This

Chew on This is an interesting book in which it talks about how hamburgers were invented, how fast food started and how it became to be so bad for you.

Me and my grandmother read this book together and after she had read about how they make fries she said " I am NEVER EVER eating any more french fries. I really like this book because it makes people (expeicly Americans) open thier eyes and show them that fast food really is bad for you.

Do you want to kmow how they invented the hamburger? Started Mcdonalds, Subway, Burger King, Jack in the Box, Taco Bell etc.? Well, it's all in Chew On This!!

War of the Worlds

War of the worlds is about aleins that come from mars to invade earth(in other words, wipe out the whole world.) Now the world must survive big death rays, tenticals, and blood thirsty aleins.

The main character is a father who must protect his daughter an find his son.

I absolutly love this book because It is a total science fiction story. So for all you scince fiction lovers out there, you will love this.

On a scale to 1 to 10, I would give it... 10+!

Blue Jasmine

This book is sort of like a biography but it's closer to historical-fiction. The author (Kashmira Sheth) grew up in both India and Iowa City, then she recreated herself into the book. Seema an eleven year old girl who lives in India has a wonderful life she lives with her Sister, Ma and Ja. Cousins, Kaki, Kaka, Daddima, and Daddija. Her dad also has a pretty good job as a microbiologist, he very much enjoys it and it pays well. But he got a job offer for and better paying, high class job in Iowa City. At the end I fifth grade Seema will move there. No worries, but finally summer rolls around and they're off. I think this book is really amazing, I liked or I guess thought it was interesting how she thinks of America. How when she goes out side there are horrible monsters on the street, how there are very few people taking walks, how when she goes to the market everything is different and needs a substitute and how the substitutes aren't the right thing at all. I think that this book shows just how much everyday things are taken for granted, and how every culture has it's own ways, but that they are also interesting and respectful they are.

Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH

First of all if you like mouse books such as Poppy, you will almost definitely love this book. It's about a mouse widow that has four children. The family lives in a cinder block that is buried in the ground. The cinder block is in a garden located in the middle of a farm. Unfortunately, Mr. Fitzzgibon the farmer plows through the garden every year. That means that Mrs. Frisby has to move out of her two room cinder block and needs to move to a safer area. However her son Timothy is sick with pneumonia and can't move through the winter cold. But then she soon meets to the rats from NIMH, a breed of super intelligent rats who believe that they can help solve her problem.
The book has an outstanding plot! There is one part about a rat telling Mrs. Frisby where he and his friends came from. That completely sucks you in the minute you start to read it and the way it can make you visualize it is like watching a movie! It's an absolute 10 on a 1-10 scale. I'm not quit sure if it has a sequel, but it's a really great book. Hope you try it!

The Winning Attitude

by Michelle Kwan

This is a book that I read this summer but I really liked it so I to write decide about it. It's about her life and how she became a 8 time National Champion and 5 time World Champion. Each chapter forces on one trait that helped her be a champion. At the end of each chapter there are quizzes to help you determine if you have what it take to be a champion. I think this book will help everyone get their dream.

By Emily

The Egypt Game & The Gypsy Game

Because of the bad things happening in the town, the Egypt Gang, April, Melanie, Marshall, Elizabeth, Toby, and Ken have worried parents like now in Mill Valley but worse. Nobody walks to school by themselves. I can’t walk by myself because of the recent newspaper story, but their circumstances are a little bit worse. All the kids in that town walked swiftly and with their heads down.

It happened again, I mean the bad things that happened in The Egypt Game, happened in The Gypsy Game too, but it was a different bad thing. The reason I call it “a bad thing” is because I don’t to give it away in these books.

P.S. These books are by Zilpha Snyder.

THE END

I am reading The End witch is the last book of The series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket . I started the series in forth grade and got carried away with other books so did not come back to it till now. The series is getting pretty easy but it still gets my attention. It is a very mysteries series more mysteries then you think. There are lots of ways you could think about this series such as sad, depressing funny, or mysteries. I happened to think about as funny and mysteries. Try the series I don't think you'll stop.

Coraline

Coraline is a girl that moves to an apartment. In her house there is a room that has all her grandmas stuff in it. In that room there is a door that leades to a house that looks like her house. Coralin goes in the kitchen and sees a women that looks like her mother. When the women turns around the women has BIG black butten eyes.

I would not like to have another mom that has BIG black butten eyes. I would be sceared. I think Coralin is confused. I would be confused.

Hatchet

by Gary Paulsen

Hatchet is about a kid who crashes in a plane. When he wakes up to find himself in the alpine, that's when it gets bad. Now Brian has to survive the bears and bugs. Will he make it?

When I read this book I was wide eyed the whole time. Maybe you will be too. I think the adventure never stops. It's so great.

My rating for this book is 9.9 (or 5 stars)

Chasing Vermeer

I am reading the book called Chasing Vermeer. Ever since I started reading it, i didn't want to stop. this book is an adventurous, mystery and has an unpredictable plot. Chasing Vermeer is a book about 3 kids who receive a strange letter saying that they have been chosen to solve a mystery. (Since I am not very far in this book, i have only learned about 2 of the 3 kids.) A young girl has been chosen, she is in middle school, and is not very social. Her name is Petra. another kid, is Calendar, he is friendly boy in Petra's class, he and Petra are also neighbors. Although, Petra seems to think that Calendar is weird. I really recommend reading this book. Its a fun book, filled with excitement.
-Zoe

Fairest

The book Fairest is the sequel to Ella Enchanted-well that's what it says on the cover, but the only thing that really relates is that it takes place in the same setting and it uses some of the same characters. I really liked this book because it is another romance novel, but it isn't really trashy. I also really like the setting because it is magical and there are gnomes, and giants, and fairies. I would give this book a 10+, I was sad when I finished it!

Phantom Tollbooth

Milo (the main character) is always bored. One day an anonymous person sends him a giant package. It's a tollbooth. On the other side of the tollbooth it's a whole different world. In that world Milo meets a giant humbug (Humbug), a dog with a clock on the side of his stomach (Tock), two kings that argue over everything (the Mathematician and King Azas), and a bunch of other strange people. Together, Milo, Tock, and the Humbug journey to go fight the demons and save princess Rime and princess Reason from the castle in the air.

I recommend this book to anyone with a good sense of humor.

The Sea of Monsters

The Sea of Monsters is a different book than most books. It was so good that when I wasn't reading it, I would say," I wish I were reading The Sea of Monsters right now."

The Sea of Monsters is a book about a boy named Percy Jackson and his friend Annabeth Chase. They're both half bloods, wich meens they have a parent who's a greek god and another parent who's a mortel. Most Half bloods live in a camp called Camp Halfblood. This is where they can be safe, meaning if they live in the mortal world then they'd be sniffed out by monsters and eaten alive. They also train to defend themselves with swords or bow and arows.

Percy finds out that his best friend, Grover the sayter, is in trouble. A grown cyclops is holding Grover captive on an Island in the sea of Monsters. But that's not all of Percy's problems, his beloved home, Camp Halfblood, is in danger. The pine tree wich protects the borders of Camp Halfblood has been poisoned and has only one medecine as a cure: the Goldin Fleece, wich is extremely hard to find. Percy, Annabeth and a young cyclops they befriended have to save Grover in the Sea of Monsters AND safe there beloved Camp Halfblood before it'll perish.

I thought of this book as a new creation. I thought that this book was great because, it has really cool stuff about Greek mythology and I love Greek mythology. So if you like greek mythology then you'd love this book! This book is fun filled and action packed with smiles and tears. So why don't you give it a try? You might enjoy it, just like I did!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Harry Potter is about a teenager who is called Harry Potter and is a wizard. So he goes to a school for wizards. In number seven Harry gets more mature and startes to use more edvanced magic. When i picked up the book and i looked at the cover i was just amazed on how good the book is going to be. I really recommend this seires to who likes the mithical stuff and magic. On a ranking 1-10 i would give it a 10++.

Dragon Rider

This book has a lot of magical creatures. It is about a dragon, a boy and a Brownie and they are trying to find the Rim of Heaven. There is an evil Golden Dragon and he likes eating other dragons. Along the way to the Rim of Heaven they get stuck in difficult situations. I would rate this book a 9 and a half. If you like reading books with made up creaturesand lots of adventures this book whould be a great one for you.

Stormbraker Anthony Horowitz

Stormbraker's a really intriuging book it's about a 14 year old boy who is recruited by MI6, (a secret agency).
All though it's a really intriuging, upbeat book, it's not for the faint of heart, (meaning the occasional gun shooting).
Actually, it's not petty shooting, it's hands on marksman hanging upside down from the helicopter snipering!
I think that in some parts in the book made me mad and some parts of it put me in a state of awe.

Rules

By Cynthia Lord

I loved this book. It was a page turner, I couldn't stop reading it. It is kind of hard to explain why I liked it. The thing that made it funny for me was because of her brother and that he had the disorder autism. Sometimes I would sort of talk to the characters in my head because I wanted them to do something. I think cathrine was turning evrything that her brother did into a worse problem, then it really is. I kept on wanting to read it because she put so much energy into the book. This is why I would give it a ten.

MIDNIGHT LIBRARY-LIAR

Liar is about an ordinary girl named Lauren that isn't very popular, so she desides to fix that. So she sits doun at her desk and starts typing about a made character supermodel and pretends to be typing what she/or "supermodel" is,saying things like: youshuold really get to know Lauren or Lauren is my best friend so people would like her more.


But something goes teribly wrong.


I love this book so mutch because it's creepy (I like creepy things)and scary (I like scary things)

I would give this book a 9.3.8 1/2 and 2.7 corters or a 10.

Stranger from the Depths

by Gerry Turner

Stranger from the Depths is about these kids who find a little statue and start finding out about a huge civilisation.

I love this book because the hook is so amzing. As soon as you start the book, you can't stop reading it. Sadly the book does not sell any more. You can't buy it in stores. But you can order online like on ebay or amazon. It is a 1967 copy.

If you can get past the middle part, that slows down abit, than you will love it.

I havn't finished yet, but I still L-O-V-E it!

If I had to rate this book, I would give it a... 10++!! I really recomend it.

The Cobble Street Cousins

There are 3 cousins named Rosie,Tess,and Lily. They have to live with there aunt Lucy for a year whle there parents are on brodway. In the summer they start a cooking compeny. They put up posters all over town. They get some calls the next week. There first peorson is Mrs. Haverstock. The girls go to her house and give her cinimon wrinkels.

I would like to start a cooking compeny.

I am sad that there are no more bookes in the seares. I think you should read this book. I cant really realate to the carecters. It would be cool to have parentes on bradway. It is a really good book.

A Series of Unfortunate Events Books 1-3

I read these books and I really liked them because they have so much action plus the humor is really great. I would probally give the books 1-3 all 9s. Its about 3 orphans named Sunny, Violet, and Klaus. They're parents died in a house fire so they were forced to go live with a reletive named Count Olaf.

She also thinks that her Aunt Sandy and her Uncle Max are kidnapping her and she trys to make signs that say "HELP" and "KIDNAPPED, HELP ME"and much more but for some reason she just cant get the words right and she is writing "I NEED A HAIR CUT" in Italian but she does not know that she is spelling it that way.

Ten Animal Rescues

Dogs. Cats. Hamsters. Do you like these animals? Then you should read Ten Animal Rescues. It is a about dogs, cats, and hamsters saving peoples lives. I think that this book is a good book for animal lovers, but also for people who are moving out of fiction into non-fiction. The reason I say that is because some of the animal rescues are so amazing that they could be fiction. I would rate this book a 9. We have this book in the class library, but I have it right now.

Inkspell(sequel to Inkheart)

Inkspell is about a girl and her dad who have this extraordinary talent. That talent is being able to read anything out of a book, or anything into a book. In Inkheart, the dad accidentally reads a bad character and his gang out of a story. In this book the girl and her dad are read into that same book. Now, this book has a world of its own. And it's pretty interesting with all the fairies, trolls, glass men, fire elves and so on. But there are bad things too. Like the Adderhead, Evil ruler of half of that book's world. So now our travelers, the girl, her dad, and a couple other friends have to make new friends, shake off enemies, and get out of the book's world and into their world.

I really love how in Inkspell the description of the characters were very life-like. Like when I finished Inkheart and started reading Inkspell, whenever I came across a character from Inkheart, I had a good visual image inside my head.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid

This is a very good book for people who are into humor and cartoons. It is about a boy named Greg and the whole book is like you are reading a diary. It tells all about Greg's life, and how some things don't always come out like he hopes for. His best friend Rowley has a lot more luck. Greg also has an older and a younger brother. His older brother named Rodrick in high school and is into rock and roll and tricking Greg. His younger brother named Manny is into toys and annoying Greg. I loved reading this book I hope you try it to. I would rate this book 10+.

How to Rule the School

This book is about Justin and how one day he will be president.

In Mr. Bailey's class they were having a project. The project was that everyone had to write what they would do if they were king or queen. Whoever had the best essays that he picked they would be king or queen for two weeks. Mr. Baliey read two essays, one was Justin's and one was a mean girl's named Andrea.

Justin wanted it so bad because then he could show what a great leader he could be. The reason he wanted that was he was planning to be 5th grade president that year.

I think this book was an 8.

Well that would be telling wouldn't it?

Alabama Moon

I am reading Alabama Moon. For the first 20 pages it might seem a bit like My Side of the Mountain. It's not. There are a few ways you could think of Alabama Moon as depressing, sad, different, or fantastic.I thought it was fantastic. When Moon the main character's dad dies and Moon has to survive on his own in the forest he learns a lot more than how to make spears. This story is not like what you think it's going to be it is better.

Monk

My books are a series of 4 different mystery books. They are all about an extremely smart detective called Adrian Monk. He has about 332 phobias, can't talk to a person that has a shirt button undone, asks his assistant Natalie Teeger for a wipe any time someone shakes his hand and he has OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). He is worlds biggest clean freak. His books are a murder series and there is lots of inappropriate language and actions, so you have to be more mature of a reader for it. Although the great humor the way he thinks and the way solves cases is so amazing that it, pretty much cancels all of the bad things out. Aside from the inappropriate things, my rating for the books on a 1 to 10 would be...234. (By the way he has his own TV show on USA.)

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

My name is Griffin Musser and I am reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
It's the best and saddest book.
I like it because I feel connected to it. I feel connected to it because I love books about action and magic. I also feel connected to it because it's also about life. The main character is Harry Potter, his best friends, Ron Weasley and Hermoine Granger. There's a mysterious Half-Blood Prince who is helping Harry in potions study, and giving him a list of made up spells.But the Prince is ruining Harry, Ron, and Hermoine's relationship. Also, it is very mysterious. Watch out for Snape.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians...

I recently read the series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians. It was a great series. It was unpredictable, adventurous, and in parts, funny. I never wanted to stop reading it. I really recommend these books because they teach you about the Greek myths and the titans. The story is about a 14 year old boy named Percy Jackson, who is the son of a sea god but he doesn't know it. As the "half-bloods" get older their scent becomes stronger and monsters can track them down easier. His mother is to worried that he will get attacked, so she sends him to a camp that is supposed to keep him safe. But of course, the monsters still come. In this series, Percy Jackson fends off monsters, makes new friends, and realizes his true potential.

I hope you consider reading this book,

Zoe
