It's about two kids, Carter Kane and Sadie Kane. Their father takes care of Carter after his mom dies, while Sadie is taken care of by her grandparents. After an evil god named Set appears and kills their father, their mysterious uncle, Amos comes and takes them to the 21st Nome, where they train to defeat Set once and for all. my rating is 5/5 because of the humor and mythical properties because it sounds like Percy Jackson.]]> 2021-11-18 19:23:29 UTC https://padlet.com/arlette_yonkers/17e1jcycjwv0r7nd/wish/1900393804 rk41686 https://padlet.com/arlette_yonkers/17e1jcycjwv0r7nd/wish/1900401068 In this book they have a field day and the teachers have "teams" so there is basically a trading system.

She learns how to live in a hard life and enjoys to be with her dad Pa. She also helps her sick mom and help her blind sister. I rate this a 4 1/2 because I love the Laura Ingals books but this is not as exciting as the other books for, it doesn't have a setting in a dugout or log cabin. But, I really like this book.]]> 2021-11-19 18:53:51 UTC https://padlet.com/arlette_yonkers/17e1jcycjwv0r7nd/wish/1902757089 gl58034 https://padlet.com/arlette_yonkers/17e1jcycjwv0r7nd/wish/1910890718 The Hive Queen is about a dragon named Cricket who, along with her friends has become wanted dead or alive. The outlaws are trying to defeat their queen who has lied and lied to all of her subjects (and everyone else) just to get power. All of the soldiers who are hunting them are all starting to figure out where they are. Can they succeed????  I give this book a 4/5 since it is not as good as some other books in the series but is still full of jokes and action!

Her mom has cancer and the medicines are very expensive. At the school, they are doing a Dayhold tournament and the cash prize is $10,000 so Reyna plays and tries to win for her mother. I rate this book five out of five because it is fun, dramatic, and exciting, and also because it is about a video game.]]> 2021-11-24 15:59:22 UTC https://padlet.com/arlette_yonkers/17e1jcycjwv0r7nd/wish/1910913059 rc297931 https://padlet.com/arlette_yonkers/17e1jcycjwv0r7nd/wish/1923633605 It's been a year since twins Alex and Conner Bailey discovered the Land of Stories (a whole other dimension) and when they last saw their grandmother (the Fairy Godmother). But when their grandma finally visits, it's to protect them, though the twins are practically trapped in their own home. Once they find out what's going on, they're shocked to find out that the Enchantress (thought to be dead) has re-cast the curse of vines that covered the Sleeping Kingdom all those years ago, and is planning to conquer the whole fairy-tale world! Can Alex and Connor defeat the Enchantress once and for all? I'd give this book a five out of five, because even though there's lots of suspense, there's some humor too, to even it out. Also, the genre is not only traditional literature, it's also fantasy, because there's also some original magical ideas in it.]]> 2021-12-01 19:25:42 UTC https://padlet.com/arlette_yonkers/17e1jcycjwv0r7nd/wish/1923633605 cy17440 https://padlet.com/arlette_yonkers/17e1jcycjwv0r7nd/wish/1925854119 The book I chose was Diary of Wimpy Kid Cabin Fever, I rate it 5/5 because it is very interesting and makes you want to read more and more. It starts of with Thanksgiving ending and moving into December when you have to be good but Greg can only last 1-2 weeks NOT 4 weeks so he starts getting a little impatient on top of having no playground equipment so he finds a online pet game and gets wayyyyyy to obsessed and dosen't take care of him self.(thats all I read :'( )]]> 2021-12-02 18:39:16 UTC https://padlet.com/arlette_yonkers/17e1jcycjwv0r7nd/wish/1925854119 lp19415 https://padlet.com/arlette_yonkers/17e1jcycjwv0r7nd/wish/1927997236 A Tale Dark and Grimm is by Adam Gidwitz and is about a boy named Hansel and a girl named Gretel and they go on a adventure to find a new family because there parents cut off there heads and sowing them back on because there parents wanted to save a old man called Johannes because the king turned him into stone.
