One day, there was a big storm and Morris’s house was destroyed, so he started walking and wandering. Then, Morris saw a lady up in the sky, and she gave him one of her flying books. The book lead him to a library, where he took care of the books and worked on his story. Morris decided he had to go and passed his book to a little girl that now takes care of the books.

I thought the book The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore was a pretty good book. I really liked the part when Morris first discovered the magical library. I also enjoyed the part when he sees the lady in the sky being pulled by flying books. I did not like the part when Morris decided it was time for his story to end.

Logan Sweet:
1. Logan Sweet is mature. I know this because he knows he will have to lose the candy making contest in order to save the factory, and he accepts that.
2. Logan Sweet is forgiving. I know this because he forgives Daisy and Philip for trying to steal the secret ingredient.
3. Logan Sweet is friendly. I know this because every one (except Philip) wants to be his friend when the first meet him.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the most important settings that the characters are at most of the time is the “ Life is Sweet ” candy factory. There are many rooms in the candy factory where different candy is made. The Tropical room is Logan’s favorite room, and is humid and filled with trees. Another important room in the factory is the Chocolate room, where they keep the secret ingredient. Also, Logan’s house is right above the factory, and it is friand Logan and his parents live there. There are many settings in The Candymakers.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the book The Candymaker’s was a great book. I really liked the part when they all worked together to make the candy harmonica. I also liked the part when they found out each other’s secrets and promised to not have any more. I thought it was cool that the author switched sides of the story with the different characters in the book. I did not like the part when Logan thought that were stealing the Secret ingredient, but the were just trying to save the factory in the end. People who love adventure, mystery, and a bit of suspense, would love this book. I give it a 4 1/2 out of 5 stars.

There are many settings in the book The Unwanteds Island of Legends. The beginning setting is in damp jungle that was filled with mysterious creatures in Artimé. Aaron Stowe got lost in this jungle, trying to escape the mansion in Artimé. When he stepped into the jungle, it was a new scene. “ Jungle vines hung from the most monstrous trees he had ever seen” (McMann 3). After that, Aaron goes back to Quill, a dreary and boring place where creativity is forbidden. The next I setting is Artimé. The people from Artimé battle against Warbler because two Warblerans escaped from Warbler. Towards the middle, the setting is Pirate Island, where Alex and his friends save Sky’s mom and the sea creatures. The Island of Legends is where Alex and his friends meet some kind creatures near the end of the book. The last setting is at the bottom of a Waterfall pouring down the edge of the world. Alex and his friends fall down the waterfall, and the book is a cliffhanger. There are a lot of settings in this book.

# data[].attributes.body
Alex Stowe:

1. Alex Stowe is leader. I know because he leads the rescue party to help find Sky’s mother.

2. Alex Stowe is brave. I know because he is willing to face all of the dangers on Pirate Island to save Copper, Sky’s mom. When Sky reminds him about her mother, he says, “‘ The entire team will be on back up in case something goes wrong with your mother. Believe me, it’s our first priority “‘ (McMann 170).
3. Alex Stowe is kind. I know because he was only going to save Sky’s mom, but then he saw some sea creatures that really needed rescue as well.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought the book The Unwanteds Island of Legends was a great book. I liked the part when Spike saved Alex for the giant eel. I also liked the part when Simber and Alex made up after an argument they had on the rescue ship. Simber said, “ I am sorrry about the way I trrreated you” (McMann 345). I did not like the part when Sky and Alex had an argument. I liked how the author made this book a cliffhanger. People who love adventure, magic, and a little bit of suspense will love this book and the rest of the series. I would give this book a 4 1/2 out of 5 stars.

This story starts off with the main action. Wyatt, the main character, falls of the boat. Then, we see a flash back to earlier in the day when the guide, Brody, is going over the rules. During these instructions, Wyatt and his brother are talking about how cool it would be if they did fall off. Wyatt’s brother Johnny whispers to him, “ Wouldn’t it be awesome to fall in?” ( Robie 2 ). Then, their dad tells them to pay attention and they listen to the rest of the talk. Then, they go white water rafting. During the trip, they save another raft, causing them to go into heavy rapids. Wyatt falls off, but remembers the safety instructions and is able to swim to the other boat.

# data[].attributes.body
Wyatt:

Wyatt is strong. I know this because he swims through the strong rapids when he falls off the boat.

Wyatt is distracted. When the guide is giving safety instructions, his is talking to his brother. When they were taking, “Dad shushed them, making it clear that they should be listening to the guide” ( Robie 2 ).

Wyatt is brave. He stayed calm and did what he had to to do to get to safety when he fell of the boat.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought that this short story was good. It had some intense parts, which I liked. My favorite part of the story was when he thought, “ I have to get out of this myself...” ( Robie 2 ). Then, he used his strength to get back on the boat. I also like that there was a flashback. I would give this book a 3.5 out of 5 stars. I would recommend this story for people who like intense parts of stories. It is also a pretty easy story, so it would be a good book if you needed something short.

Fredrich Schmidt:

Fredrich is very musical. I know this because he works at a harmonica factory and loves to play the harmonica.

Fredrich is loving. He pretendeds to follow Hitler, someone he doesn’t believe is right, in order to save his father.

Fredrich is trustworthy. I know this because he and he father go against Hitler, but his father is trusting him to pretend to be with him. When his father told him to promise to keep quiet, “Fredrich nodded, “‘ I promise ‘“
(Ryan 118).

# data[].attributes.body
These are the many settings of the first part of the book.  The first setting in this part of the story  is Trossingen, Baden-Württemberg Germany, in October of 1933. This is where a boy named Fredrich Schmidt lives. Towards the beginning of the story, he goes to work in a harmonica factory. He also spends much of his time at his house with his father and sometimes his sister. Their house is torn apart by the Nazis, and it is destroyed. They thought they were going to go to Switzerland, but they got interrupted. Fredrich’s father is arrested by the Nazis, he has to go to his uncles apartment. When Fredrich has to go somewhere else when his father is arrested, his dad says, “‘ In the meantime, please go to Uncle Gunter’s’” ( Ryan 151 ). At the very end of the part, he goes on a train, but gets stopped by the Nazis.

# data[].attributes.body
I really enjoyed the book Echo. It was suspenseful and exciting. Every story in this book was a cliffhanger. I liked how all of the stories tied in together at the very end. I liked the part in the first part of the book when Fredrich’s sister gave him money to get his father out of jail, even though she was on the same side as the Nazis. I also liked the part when Fredrich waves his hands and acts like a conductor. Strange music followed his motions. This was very abnormal and “Fredrich had never heard playing like this before” ( Ryan 70 ). I would rate this book a 4 out of 5. It was suspenseful and it made me want to keep reading.

Meddy ( Addie Whitcher )
Meddy is brave. I know this because she stood up to man that had a gun. “She walked straight up to him and reached for the gun in his hand“ ( Milford 355 ).

Meddy is secretive. I know this because she didn’t tell Milo she was Addie Whitcher, a ghost that has been dead for 34 years, until the end of the book. When she was talking to Milo he figured it out. “‘You’re .....Addie Whitcher,’ Milo said slowly” ( Milford 322 ).

Meddy is imaginative. I know this because she makes up interesting names for ordinary objects. “‘She pointed to the hat,  “‘Healm of Revelations,’ she said......”( Milford 86 ).

# data[].attributes.body
There are numerous settings in this book. Most of the important events that happen in this book are at Greenglass House. In the beginning, Milo and his parents are relaxing at the ginormous Greenglass house that they call home on the first day of winter break. Soon after that, Milo and his parents had to travel outside in the snowy, cold night to welcome a guest into Greenglass House, that is also used as an inn. When they were outside, “ The snow fell, trying to blanket the ground and night with silence .......” ( Milford 13 ). Towards the middle of the book, Milo and Meddy go explore the chilly attic, loaded with miscellaneous items. They decided to call this room the Emporium. At the end of the book, all the guest had left on Christmas Eve. The Pines were alone, and the Greenglass House became a cozy, sweet smelling  house, with the sound of Christmas carols playing.

# data[].attributes.body
I really enjoyed the book Greenglass House. It was suspenseful and full of imagination. I really liked the part when Milo met Meddy. Meddy is a very outgoing character. When they met, Meddy asked, “‘So you’re adopted, then’” ( Milford 39 )? Despite the question that could come off as rude, they became good friends I also like when Milo and Meddy go to the Emporium and find cool objects. I did not like the part when Meddy told Milo she was a ghost. People who like mystery and creativity will love this book. I would give this book a 4 and a 1/2 out of 5 stars. It was an intriguing  book and I really enjoyed it.

Milo Pine

Milo is emotional. I know this because he gets frustrated at the people staying at the house. When Milo is getting upset, Meddy says, “‘Okay, okay. Calm down’”( Milford 133 ).

Milo is creative. He and Meddy come up with a new Character that can help him stay calm. When they are in the Emporium, Meddy tells Milo about the traits of his character. “‘....... will help you figure out how best to use your feelings at any given time’” ( Milford 143 ).

Milo is intelligent. I know this because he figures out many clues and mysteries, including figuring out that Mrs. Kirkegrim is Violet Cross. He told her, “‘You’re Violet Cross’” ( Milford 421 ). Everyone then is shocked.

“‘You guys should come down and visit again,’ Milo said” ( Milford 437 ).   Marzana then agreed and left to go with her mom.  Meddy said,  “Of course!  I would love to visit again.” Milo was overjoyed. He loved to solve mysteries with Meddy. After Marzana and the Waits left, Meddy pulled Milo aside. She said,  “ I’m really sorry I lied to you about being a ghost.” Milo then looked down at his feet, rembering when Meddy had lied to him. “ I had to pretend I was a ghost for a  disguise!” The truth is .....” Meddy went on.  “I am a secret agent.” “ Wow, that felt good! “ she said, laughing. “ I am usually  forbidden to say those words.” Milo had sarcastic look on face. “Sure, and I am the president of the United States!”exclaimed Milo, in disbelief. “It’s true”said Meddy. Then she pulled back her sleeve and showed Milo a black watch strapped on her left wrist. She scanned her thumb print and a picture of her came up. There were words next to the picture stating that she was a secret agent. “Wow,” Milo said, “That is awesome!” “I’m glad you like it,” she said. Then handed him a watch identical to hers. “I want you to join my team,” she said. ‘“You are amazing at solving mysteries. I’ve seen you!” “What team?” Milo questioned. “ I will explain later, but your parents already know that I am asking you.” “What?” Milo said. “Are they secret agents too?”  “Yep.”  Meddy said with a smile, that quickly faded. She put a hand over his mouth and told him to run.

# data[].attributes.body
This book was very good. It was full of as much creativity and mystery as the first book, Greenglass House. I really enjoyed the part when Milo figures out that Mrs. Kirkegrim is Violet Cross. I also liked the part when Meddy ( Addie ) showed her self to everyone. Everyone was confused when Meddy appeared from thin air. “ Marzana frowned, confused. “‘What am I looking at’”( Milford 426 )? I did not like the part when two men pointed a gun a Milo. Overall, I would give this book a 4 out of 5 stars. This book  made me want to keep reading. It was intense, creative, and mysterious.

Piper

Piper is brave. I know this because when her friend is trapped in a terrible storm, she goes out to save him, despite the danger.

Piper is kind. I know this because she chooses to stay with Anna on the train, because Anna won’t work without Piper near her.  Helpful fact: Anna is part machine

Piper is grateful. I know this because Piper and Anna get kidnapped, and Gee comes to save them. When Piper  realized that Gee was trying to save them, “ She bit her lip to keep from sobbing aloud in relief “ ( Johnson 179 ).

# data[].attributes.body
There are a few main settings in this book. The first setting is Piper’s house. It is simple and plain, with few pieces of furniture. Piper has lived there by herself ever since her dad died. The house is in the scrap towns. Another setting is the storm shelter. It is dark and musty, and Piper hates being having to stay in it. “ She’d never been able to stop the crawly feeling that came over her skin when she was in the shelter with the earth above her head” ( Johnson 21 ). The following setting is the train, where Piper and Anna meet Gee. The train is filled with traps so no one uninvited gets on. The last setting is in a house in the capital, where Piper saves Anna from Doloman. As you can see, there are a few main settings in this book.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought the book, The Mark of the Dragonfly, was a good book. I would recommend this book to people who like fantasy and adventure. I liked the part when Piper finds out that Gee is a chamelin. I did not like the part when Piper’s hand got cut on a metal spike. “ She had grabbed one of the blades protruding from the train’s metal skin” ( Johnson 290 ). I would give this book a 4 out of 5 stars, because it was adventurous and creative. I love how it was set in a different world. This book was pretty good overall.
