The Time Travelers

The Time Travelers is about a boy and a girl who were just messing around and, suddenly, they both get sucked into the year 1763. This is a very fast-paced, exciting, funny story. I liked this book because you really feel as if you are there, right with the characters. I also liked this story because it has a good plot, really good detail, and humor. While reading this book, I found myself laughing out loud as the characters got themselves into yet another mess. Sometimes, the characters would say or do something that would cause someone to feel offended or hurt. If I were them I would watch what I say! I really recommend this book! Try reading it!

The Penderwicks

The Penderwicks is about 4 sisters who go to a cottage with their dad. Then they bump into a boy and the boy gets a very bad impression about them. 
I really like this book because it has a lot of emotion and I can really tell what the characters are feeling. I ask myself a lot of questions when I read it such as, "How could that happen?" and "Why did she/he do that?  Couldn't she/he have done this or that?"  I also like how the author makes every sister have a very different personality.
You should try this book!

The Spiderwick Chronicles - The Ironwood Tree

The Ironwood Tree is the fourth book in the series. It's about three siblings: twins, and an older sister. The older sister (Mallory) gets taken away. So the twins, Jared and Simon, try to find her. They end up getting tangled into a huge mess full of extraordinary things that happen. I liked this book because it had a good plot, and a lot of humor. I read it sitting up the whole time with wide eyes. The book had plenty of twists and turns. One minute the people in the story are sitting down trying to figure something out, the next minute they are on the go, trying to out run some wacky creature. I kept on thinking: "Oh my gosh! I can't believe they did that!" or: " This can't be possible!" "How did that happen?!" This book is exciting and a page turner. Try reading it!

FLUSH

I just finished the book FLUSH and it was really exciting! Flush is about a boy who's dad gets in jail because he sunk a boat. He did it because the boat was dumping sewage into the water and polluting the water and endangering the animals and the people. The boy comes up with a scheme and tries to prove to all the people that the person who owns the boat is polluting the water. I liked this book because it was fast-paced and action packed. I thought the book had a lot of twists and turns. Which kept me thinking "what's gonna happen next? whats gonna happen next?". The book also had a really good plot and a lot of humor. In the beginning I thought that it was a little bit boring because the dad and the boy would just visit each other in jail and talk. Thats it. Other than that, the book was great! I would suggest you read it!

The Get Rich Quick Club

The Get Rich Quick Club is about a girl who wants to be a millionaire. Though, her family doesn't have a lot money. So she starts a club with a group of kids, and they hatch a scheme, to become millionaires.

I thought the book was really funny because it had a girl in it who came from Australia and the author came up with a whole bunch of funny words for her to use.
Here are some examples: stroppy= bad mood, dead horse=tomato sauce, flog=sell crumpet=worthless, frog in a sock=mad.

Th
e author chose an unusual topic, I don't know of many authors that would choose that sort of topic. It was really, really, funny and I would rate it a 8.

Molly Moon, Micky Minus and the Mind Machine

The 4th Molly Moon was the same as the others ~ totally fast paced and action packed!

It's about a girl who is an orphan and her life is basically really bad. Then she gets these hypnotic powers and is able to hypnotize and stop time and time travel. In the fourth she is looking for her lost twin and gets herself into a bunch of trouble.


This book was great. Sometimes I'd ask myself why the characters didn't do this or that and I liked that it kept me wondering what they would do next. The topic was very unreal, but the way the person wrote the book made it seem like it was real.

I get bored with a book if it doesn't pull me in fast enough, but this book pulled me in fast so it was easy to get into. I could not put this book down. I hope Georgia Byng writes another one! I'd give it 10.
