The Last Kids On Earth

2023-03-15 17:05:38 UTC

In my book The Last Kids On Earth by Max Brallier, Jack Sullivan ventures in the unknown as he tries to find his friends Quint Baker and June Deltoro. And complete his ultimate feat ever…defeat BLARG who’s giant lizard beast with green goo dripping from its razor sharp teeth and it makes a super loud “blarg” sound when it roars.

THE CLIMAX

When Jack Sullivan found his “damsel in distress” also known as June Deltoro, he must distract BLARG while he “rescues” her. As they trudge through an army amount of zombies he catches a ride from his newly apocalyptic pet dog. They ricochet off of the big DOZER MONSTERS. Jack yells “ROVER SLOW DOWN!” Rover is there name of there dog.

MY OPINION ON THIS BOOK

This book is a great book to read if your into adventures. Even though this book does carry some horror to the cover of the book, it is mostly all fun and games. Once Jack Sullivan completed his ultimate feat to kill blarg and save June Del Toro. They even convince June to come to the tree house and help them defend other monsters and zombies. So that’s by I recommend The Last Kids On Earth.

SUGGESTING MY BOOK

When is comes to suggesting this book to other readers, I would give this book a…5 star review! During the last few years I always try to search for a nice book. I always took me a while to find something a step up from the diary of a wimpy kid books. And this book is definitely a better step up, from having twice as many pages and each page feels way more appealing this was definitely the book for me. For other readers who are interested in realistic fiction. This is an 8-15 year old book.

The girl in the locked room

2023-03-15 17:06:30 UTC

In the story, the girl in the locked room by Mary Downing Hahn, the setting seemed to be in oak hill, Oak hill is a small town with an old house. This house is abandoned and had people murdered in it. Most of the people in Oak hill are afraid of the house. A lot of weird but mysterious things happen when two girls discover what looks like a little girl in one of the locked rooms in the house. My characters are Maisie, Jules and Lilly (the girl ion the locked room)some responses to the setting are frightened and curious of what other things they could find.

Some of the things they could find, for example, is a bunch of dolls. In my book Jules finds a bunch of dolls buried under ground. She would place them in an order, biggest to smallest. This example shows what mysteries or weird stuff they encounter.

At the end of the story it states how they went into a different realm or world of an event before they met lily. When they went back into time to change the decathlon of lily's parents, many people were killed or murdered. A set of characters named mr. Bailey, Dixon and aunt Nellie were in a part of this. For example mr. bailey tries to kill lily’s father for all of there money. While on the other hand aunt Nellie shoots her husband, or mr. Bailey, to save the Bennett family.

I would rate this book a solid 3.5. This is because it wasn’t as scary as u thought it was. I even almost cried at one point. I would recommend this to teens or even pre-teens, or people who love realistic fiction crossed with a little of mystery. Like in the first part of the paragraph, its not what i was expecting.

Paper wishes

2023-03-15 17:06:30 UTC

In the book Paper Wishes by Lois Sepahban Manami has to travel from her home island to a different island because her home is not safe anymore. The island is isolated and only has a school and houses. Manami does not like it here but this is her new home. Manami, a hardworking, kind, warm hearted, introverted girl must figure out how to live on this island and like it. Manami has not spoken since she left her home island. she barely even looks at people and sometimes communicates by writing but mostly communicates by her pictures she draws.

Minami has to flee her home island to a new island that she calls “prison camp” in the california desert. Minami and her family has to leave because their home island is no longer safe for them. Minami does not want to leave and is sad she has to. Even worse they have to leave their dog Yujjin behind.

In my opinion, i think this is a really good book. It is easy to read and understand. The author does a really good job on explaining the main character minami and her family’s feelings. Events happen that affect people in this book and these events are interesting and very well explained. The author also explains very well how these events affected the characters.

Camp

2023-03-15 17:07:13 UTC

In the book Camp by Kayla Miller, the story takes place at Camp Acorn Lake. In the beginning two girls, Olive and Willow are driving to the bus to get to camp. Both girls are very excited but willow feels a bit nervous as well. The main character Olive is very adventurous and eager to go to camp, she is nice to everyone and makes many new friends at camp.

Once Olive and willow get to camp both girls are having a good time but Willow only wants to hang out with Olive, but Olive wants to hangout with other friends she made at camp. They get in a fight and both girls go off with their own friends. Willow hangs out with kids in her band while Olive hangouts with other girls in their cabin. Willow feels homesick and wishes she had her best friend Olive to help her but she doesn’t tell Olive how she feels.

In my opinion I think this is a good book, however the book was a bit to easy because it’s a graphic novel. It wasn’t confusing but it was kinda predictable. The ending was pretty good but I predicted it would happen. My favorite part was probably when the girls were having fun together doing all the fun activities at camp. A connection I made to the book is how the girls are really good friends like me and my best friend, the authors style of writing is realistic fiction because this didn’t actually happen but it could happen.

I would rate this book 3.5 stars out of 5 just because it was kinda too easy for me and it was pretty predictable. I would recommend this book to younger readers probably around 4th or 5th grade who enjoy realistic fiction.

Realistic fiction

2023-03-15 17:07:47 UTC

In the book “Half a World Away” by Cynthia Kadohata, is based in American and Kazakhstan, Jaden and his parents, Penny and Steve. travel to Kazakhstan to adopt a new child. They thought they were adopting a child named Bazakhstan, but he ended up getting adopted by a German couple without Penny or Steve knowing. The author describes the place they’re staying in as a brick hotel, creepy and edgy. Jaden goes on many adventures with a woman name Akerke, they flew eagles, and even rode on camels. Jaden goes through many troubles like, being a bad kid, getting in trouble, locking himself in shis room, but most recently, it’s with his parents. They want to adopt a baby, but Jaden wants to adopt a toddler named Dimash. They work through these troubles over and over but no matter what Jaden wants to adopt the toddler.
After this, Jaden gets sadder and sadder that his parents won’t adopt Dimash, he goes on more trips with a Sam and Akerke. They continue going to the adoption home and keep seeing Dimash. Taking care of this new babies hard, not only for Penny and Steve, but for Jaden too. The baby spends hours on end sobbing and crying. Jaden paces back and fourth while this is happening trying to get him to calm down. After hours he can hear penny and Steve talking, and they walk into his room and say, “we have some news..”
I like the book because of how much the author showed his emotions. They really played it with apart of electricity and how he acts, not just how he feels. I also like the book because of how he’s an independent character instead of a dependent one. He has a lot of personality and a lot of emotion, some times he shows anger and other times he shows happiness.

   I would recommend this to people in the age span from 10 to 14, it goes into depth about mental health and things like that. If you like this book you may want to watch or read Anne With An E.  I would rate this book an 11/10, it was really fun reading it! I wish it wouldve included what happened after they adopted th original baby and Dimash

A horse called Hero

2023-03-15 17:08:25 UTC

A horse called Hero takes place In the middle of world war ll with a boy named wolfie, he was adventurous but shy, he lived in the city in the beginning. Now hr moved out to the countryside to get away from the war, with his older sister Dodo. They came across a foal in the woods. Wolfie took him to the barn at wistlewind stables an abandoned barn. He names the Foal hero, wolfie and the foal are becoming best friends and love each other

what I summarize in the book is that their are two kids, dodo and wolfie. The kids grew up in the city of London. Their father got sent off to war. Things got fierce,the housekeeper had to send the kids away to the countryside to keep them safe. They find a foal that had lost its mother so they took it in. Wolfie grew close to the foal very quickly. The original home they got sent to didn’t like the maintenance it took to care for them, so they sent found a new home that they are just settling into. The people except that he has a foal and let him keep it. Their father ran away from the war and now has been caught and being charged that makes it very hard on the kids.

My opinion on the book is that it is a great book and I would love to read more books by him. The book has a lot of information about the scenes and the way the characters face problems or find problems. It would definitely be a good book for 11-12 year olds to even adults it has some harder to understand or read language that could be harder for young people to read as well. It was kind of hard to understand for me at points. My favorite part of the book would have been when he was wondering through a pasture of trees looking fit the mare he was trying to save but when he finds the mare she had passed after giving birth to the foal and when he protects the foal from harm.

I would rate this book a 3 out of 5, it is a good book but it needs a bit more detail added to it. it is hard to understand what happened and in the beginning the author did I explain much she just jumped into the book and problems. This book would be best for a 11-12 to any age past that. Unless a young kid can read pretty good it would be hard to understand some of the language they use or the way they explained everything.

Star Wars Jedi Academy Return Of The Padawan

2023-03-15 17:08:38 UTC

In the book Star Wars Jedi Academy Return Of The Padawan by Jeffery Brown, the story takes place in a Jedi academy where Roan, a kind young boy needs to stand up to the bully named Cronah to protect his friends and pass the piloting test. But he has to face fearsome challenges on the way and focus on the force to guide him on the right path to succeed to become the Jedi/pilot he always wanted to become.

How the climax starts is when Roan was sitting with bullies and the bullies threw a pepper at Roan’s best friend Pasha, and he was upset. He threw food back at roan and then started a giant food fight. Secondly they went to the principals office and got in trouble because of the food fight. Then after that Roan and Pasha were matched up in the light saber fencing. When the climax begins Roan and pasha use anger for their light saber fencing instead of trusting the force, because anger leads to hate and hate leads to the dark side.

The ending was cool because his best friend Pasha won the fencing and Roan was happy for him. After that Roan apologized to Pasha, and Roan got back together with Gianna. and got way better grades after the school year. But he has to go with the teacher Mr. G. And Roan hates Mr. G. So in my opinion the climax was awesome and fearsome and shows that always hang out with good friends not bad ones.

I would rate my book a 4.5 out of 5 stars because it shows a good plot of Star Wars and gives me good thoughts and emotions like excitement and surprising parts in the book. If you enjoy Star Wars you should definitely read this book. I would say kids from 8-13 would definitely enjoy it just like I do. If you love sci-if books then this book is definitely for you.

All the Grays on Greene Street

2023-03-15 17:08:44 UTC

The book All the Grays on Greene Street by Laura Tucker is set in 1981 New York, New York, in an old factory in SoHo. The main character is Olympia, who goes by Ollie. Her two best friends and her adopted uncle Apollo help her through the loss of her father, who ran off to France with another lady, (or so they think). The one thing that she is trying very hard to hide is her mother’s rapid fall into chronic depression, leaving her bedridden and not able to be there for Ollie. She will stop at nothing to ensure that she gets her dad back and saves her mom before anyone find out, and makes it, what she thinks it would be, worse. She doesn’t know, though, that getting her dad back might not be what will save her mom.

The One and Only Bob

2023-03-15 17:08:59 UTC

In the novel The One and Only Bob by Kathrine Applegate at The Park. The park is an animal sanctuary with Bobs friends Ivan the silverback gorilla and Ruby the elephant. Bob is a very kind a loving dog and loves his life. Bob lives in Julia’s home, Julia is bobs owner.
Now there is a hurricane warning from the news that says it will come tomorrow, Bob was used to these because that happen all the time because it was hurricane season. But all goes wrong. There is a tornado that comes in as Bob and his owner Julia are at The Park. Bob hears a bark a, bark he will always remember, it’s his sisters. Bob hasn’t seen his sister in many years he must find his sister in the middle of the flooding and storm of the hurricane.
I i like The One and Only Bob because it show a lot of emotion and feelings from the characters. The book was a little confusing when bob or someone else from the story would talk about someone in a break in the story but would not tell me anything about who it was so I wouldn’t know who it was. The book was pretty believable and though animal could talk the animals could only talk to other animals so that mad lots of sense. I with the ending would have not left me on a huge cliffhanger. My favorite part of the story was when bob heard his sisters bark for the first time in like five years. I also liked when bob went to see ruby and Ivan at The Park and bob and ruby have this thing where ruby would always tell bob a joke when he can to The Park for example ruby tell bob this “Do you want to hear a new riddle, Uncle Bob?” And bob says “ Of course I do”.

I would rate The One and Only Bob a 9.4 out of ten. I would recommend this book to 6 to 15 year old because it have lots of fantasy and talking animals but still has stuff that could happen to people in the real world. I recommend you read One and Only Ivan before you read this book. One of the movies you should watch after these books is The One and Only Ivan on Disney plus. The genre of this book is fantasy with talking animals but real life things that happen just i a dogs perspective.

My story I survived the battle of d-day

2023-03-15 17:09:02 UTC

An eleven year old boy name Paul. Lives in France in a small village he had a rough time through the war when the natzis invaded them they where in a group with the resistance.

It Sounded Better In My Head

2023-03-15 18:02:46 UTC

In the book It Sounded better in my head by Nina Kenwood. The story takes place in Melbourne, wintertime, some time after Christmas. Natalie, a teenage girl, who and her friends Zach, Lucy, Owen, and Alex. Her parents are getting divorced and her dads moving away. She’s facing problems like puberty, party’s, parents divorce, crushes, school, and finding her true identity.
Natalie gets invited to a party by her friends brother. She goes to the party, she doesn’t feel like she fits in. The only people she knows are Alex and Owen. She wants to seem like she belongs, so she brings up the idea of spin the bottle. Alex spins the bottle and it lands on Natalie. He says he wants her to be comfortable and he doesn’t do anything. He kisses her on the cheek though. She decides she wants to leave and so she says bye. Alex is confused why she’s leaving so early. He
asks for her number so she can text him when she gets home.
Zach and Lucy are not happy that she was playing spin the bottle. She didn’t tell them that she kissed Alex though. Alex gave Natalie a ride home, and it was very awkward. He said that he would give her ride whenever she needed it.

This book is very good! The only thing is it can get a little bit inappropriate at times and has some curse words. It’s not a big deal though. It’s very relatable and is VERY detailed on Natalie’s feelings and actions. This book has great metaphors that make sense and are useful to the story.

This book is great for a tweens and teenagers because it has events that a lot of teens can relate to. It’s very entertaining and has lots of interesting events. I would recommend this to someone who is interested in realistic fiction. I would rate this book a 3.5.

Realistic Fiction: Hatchet

2023-03-15 19:42:43 UTC

This book takes place in the northern woods of Canada. A boy named Brian crashed into a lake and is now seeking for shelter, food, and water.
First is currently eating berries from bushes, and is soon going to build a shelter along the rocks of the L shaped lake. Next he started felling sick and weak from the berries. Lastly he has been sitting and sleeping on a big pine tree on the lake being fried by the sun and feeling his headache from the crash.
My opinion on the book is negative and positive. I feel this way because it is a little bit difficult to understand. I like it because I feel like I can relate to the character. I also like the book because it takes place in the woods, and I like to camp in the woods. My favorite part of the story is when he crashes, because I think that this is the climax of the story.
I would rate Hatchet 3.5 ⭐️s. I would recommend this book for people who love page turners, and not knowing what is going to happen next. It takes place in a small propeller airplane, and then Brian and the pilot has a heart attack, and they crash into a lake. Brian has to overcome many obstacles, so if you like suspenseful willderness books, I would highly recommend Hatchet. P.S. It really gets good around chapter 5.

Harry Potter and the order of the phoenix

2023-03-15 19:42:52 UTC

The story takes place in a big castle called hogwarts where a character called Harry Potter who is a wizard. The main character is Harry Potter. Harry Potters qualities are he is funny, smart, and cool. He has a lot of conflict with his aunt and uncle because they don’t treat him good or nice. This book is a really good book to read before you watch the movie because it has more information then the movie dose but to the people who don’t like reading this book has over 800 pages. I would recommend you read this book.

So harry gets caught using his wand and is going to get it taken away. First he decides if he is going to stay at his house or leave. Next he keeps getting letters till he gets on from a friend to stay at his house. Next he leaves and goes to his friends house where the order of the phoenix will meet. Then he got surprised and finds something.

I like this book because I like Harry Potter. I like him because I fell like he is kind of like me and he kind of looks like me. Some things that I don't like about this book is the weird chapter titles. Why I don't like them is that they are confusing and are just weird. One question that I have about the book is why is it so long?

I would recommend this book to people who have read the other books or have seen the movies because the books have more info in them than the movies. This book is a good book if you like wizards if you read fantasy books. This book is a good book to read if you like long books or if you want something to do for a long period of time. So that is my recommendation of this book and I would give this book a 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Eva evergreen

2023-03-15 19:44:02 UTC

A storm called the culling is very dangerous. Every year it hits a new spot. This year it happens to be heading directly toward Auteri. Auteri is about to have the famous Festival of Lights and Eva needs to save Auteri.

My opinion on the book is that this is a very good book. It has a lot of action and suspense. There are a lot of cliffhangers that make you want to keep reading. The character is very kind and helpful. She loves to help out but she sometimes causes accidents. Sometimes the accidents help people or help them with relationships.

I would recommend this book to people in 6 or 7 grade. People who like fantasy, action, and suspense would really like this book. I would give it 3 and 1/2 stars because it can sometimes be confusing what they are trying to tell you

I like the way the other writes it is almost like you are there right in Berlin watching the family, the author is very descriptive with his words. One of my favorite parts of the book so far is when Bruno shows greets the boys and men in the striped pajamas, I liked it because it was very suspenseful.

Lizzy Legend

2023-03-15 19:46:22 UTC

In the book Lizzy Legend by Matthew Ross Smith the story takes place in the school playground and professional basketball courts where she will play games and practice. In the beginning of the book we see Lizzy imagining that she is pro and playing with her favorite player but then it all fades back to the old beat up playground. Lizzy is a very motivated girl and is always trying to get better in every way. A conflict Lizzy faces is not being able to play on the boys team but that conflict is quickly resolved when the coach makes a special request to the league to let her play. Another conflict she faces later in the book is that her power that lets her never miss gets reversed, and they haven’t found a solution to that yet. Lizzy is a very persistant girl who is willing to put in the effort who has to go threw the challenge of being pro as a 13 year old girl. I would recommend this to anyone who like pretty calm and inspiring books.

Lizzy has a magical power where she can’t miss. So she makes a professional team because her shot is so good. In a matter of a few days Lizzy has a ton of fans and every reporter wants to interview her. She got her power from a wish she made threw her phone when she got what she thought was a spam call. She thought she had one more wish, but when she tried to use her second wish it said she got a text saying reversed.

I like the book Lizzy legend by Mathew Ross Smith. One reason i like Lizzy legend is because I can relate to the main character because we both like basketball. I think the book was the correct reading legal for me. One of my favorite parts was when she lost her power because it was a intense climax. I really like the authors writing style amend would recommend this book to people that want a pretty chill fun book.

I would record Lizzy legend to an age group of 8 to 14. I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend this to people who like more laid back book. There’s not a lot of big twists and drama. And I would recommend this to people girls who like basketball because it’s kinda motivating to show a girl can be just as good as the boys. And lastly for me I would rate this 4 out of 5 stars.

2023-03-15 19:47:26 UTC

The End of the World and Beyond

lokehayes — 2023-03-15 19:47:46 UTC

In the book The End of the World and Beyond, by Katherine Warde. The book takes place in England, but Oliver a boy who lived in England but got moved to America. Then he goes on a ship and a huge storm hits.

Oliver is a 13 year old boy that has had a rough life. In Annapolis, Oliver’s indenture is purchased by the foul, miserly Fitzhugh who may have murdered the servant Oliver is replacing.

I like the book because it’s entertaining and enjoyable to read. This book is entertaining because he gets deported from England to America and he talks about the journey getting there and what happens when he gets there.

This book is a pretty easy book to read. It is not predictable, and that’s why the book is so good, you don’t know what’s going to happen. My favorite part so far was when he was on the journey to America and how different it is from England. It connects with my life because I go on a boat all the time in the summer and in the book he goes on a boat too. I would recommend the age for this book is 12-15.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

2023-03-15 19:47:50 UTC

The book Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix takes place at Harry’s aunt and uncles house on Privet Drive. His aunt and uncle are required to keep Harry to protect him from harm. One night Harry’s aunt and uncle and their son Dudley decide to go out. While they’re out a group of wizards he knows go’s into the house and asks that Harry packs and leaves immediately.

This book is an overall great read, I like this book because of the descriptions the author gives and the vivid images that make me imagine the book. The book was not confusing in any way, I got stuck into it when I was reading and it was like I zoned out. The book wasn’t predictable, for me at least because this was my first time reading the Harry Potter series so I had no idea what was going to happen next. My favorite part (so far) was when Harry was flying in the sky with the group of wizards. The descriptions the author gave made me feel like I was outside in the cold during the winter, walking my way across the streets.

First, Harry is sitting in a flower bed and hears strange noises coming from the neighborhood so he try’s to investigate. Second, Harry stumbles upon Dudley and his gang walking on the streets. After that he walks up to Dudley when his friend leaves, is rude to him, then they are ambushed by dementors but Harry fights them off. Third, Dudley tells his parents (Harry’s Aunt and Uncle) that Harry used magic and his Uncle decides he wants him out of his house. During this a note falls from the chimney wrote for his Aunt saying that Harry must stay. Lastly, his Aunt and Uncle leave with Dudley to go out, after they leave a group of wizards (whom he knows) enter the house and asks that Harry leaves immediately for his court case.

I would recommend this to Harry Potter fans and fantasy lovers because it is a great book that will get you hooked and might make you want to read the entire series. The book is very good and I would give it a 4.5 out of 5 stars. Thank you for reading, I hope you found this book review helpful.

The Night Child

2023-03-15 19:49:13 UTC

The Night Child by T.M. Palecki is set in medieval times on the imaginary island of Elvoy. The village that the main character Esta, a young girl with the power to read other people emotions, as well as animals, lives in is a small and homey farming and fishing village along their pebbly beaches and cliffs. The entire island is surrounded by woods, with many creatures and beautiful foliage inside. Back to Esta, there are rumors that have spread off of the island about her power, but they say that she can control people. A war lord, Lord Guth, hears of these softly spoken rumors and travels out to find Esta so that she may help him with something unknown. Esta is now forced with the option to leave her people safe and put her life in danger, or take a risk and double cross the warlord.

In the beginning of the book, Esta finds a severely injured owl, shot down by a farmer. The owl was carrying an owlet, and she decides to take it in. As Mane, the owlet, grows up, Esta teaches her more. One day, while Esta is walking in the near woods with Mane, she sees two boys on their cobs (small horses). One is laughing while the other is picking himself off the ground. Mane accidentally spooks the lone cob and it takes off running. As the boy confronts Esta, Erik, the other boy, breaks them up and sends Roan on his way. Erik and Esta go out to look for the cob, and once they find it they start making their way back to Roans house, where they find that he’s been sent off. They go out searching for him and find him in a little hut that Erik and him had built years ago. They end up having to spend the night there and leave in the morning for their homes. As they are riding to Esta’s home, she gets off the cob and senses something ahead. Her mother is sending her emotions trying to tell her what happened. There is death. They bolt back to the shelter and try to make sense of what happened. Esta comes to the conclusion that her father as well as Erik’s, have passed. Roan comes up with a plan to dress as Esta would and sail out in his fathers boat to lure away the warriors. While he would do this, Esta would lure other warriors through the forest while Erik helps free their people. As Roan swims out and climbs on the boat, he unties the rope and sails off. The men from the beach think that it’s Esta and follow. Esta catches the attention of the men guarding their people and holding them captive, and teases them into following her through the forest. A few warriors are left behind to guard, and Erik uses this as his chance to charge. The villagers end up breaking the door they were trapped behind and assist Erik in the battle. They end up winning as the other warriors come back and they win that to. Roan is not doing as well, the boats are catching up rapidly. He decides to take a risk and cut between 2 islands, hoping that only his boat would fit. With some struggle, he manages to barely shoot the gap and head back to Elvoy with the men far behind him. Once Roan returns to the island, Esta, Erik and Roan all decide to wait until the men come back to bargain for freedom and figure out how to get them to leave the island. While Roan and Erik plan, Esta has already made up her mind to give her self up. When Lord Guth and his men return to their island, Erik threatens Lord Guth, and says he will plan an attack on Guth island. While Erik and Esta are preoccupied with this, Roan and his younger brother Landen, are being pushed toward a boat, and with that Lord Guth leaves with Roan and Landen trapped. As all the villagers start tending to the wounded once again, Esta is still down on the beach. Erik goes to talk to her, and she tells him of her plan. Erik starts to defend the idea that she can’t go, but she is sure. Erik makes it sure that he will go with her for he can’t think to let her go alone. As they pack a few things, Clare, Esta’s mother, says that she will go for she can not bare to stand another second on the island which her husband died upon. As they set sail, the villagers try to convince them to reconsider, but they are firm. As they are on the open sea, a boat sails towards them and it’s Lord Guth’s men. They pull the boat in tow, and head for Guth’s island. Once they arrive, they are in awe of the delicate architecture all over the town. They are led to a room with more beautiful and intricate designs. Esta is inspecting the rug, Clare is inspecting the walls, and Erik is pacing while staring hard at the door. They eventually get led out. And that’s where I am now.

I would rate this book 4.5 out of 5. The book is awesome and super descriptive. I just don’t understand some of the language used and I wish there was a glossary in the back.

I would recommend this book to ages 9-14, if you like historical things, and fantasy powers, I think this is a great book for you!

Realistic fiction

2023-03-15 20:36:35 UTC

The main setting in my book or the first setting is the football field. Caleb is the freshman quarter back and that can be very stressful. Everyone follows him like little ducklings and if they lose a game everyone blames it on him. I know you’re wondering why is he always blamed for everything? It’s because the quarter back is the main position of football. They destroyed the first team they played and has gone 3-0

Caleb springer is a freshman quarterback. First, he joined the football team and made a lot of new friends. Second he had some problems with friends but worked them out. Third Caleb’s team started of really good in the season. Finally he had a big opportunity.

I think this book is awesome. I just love how the author writes. Just the way he explains things and things like that. I find this book very relatable because I play football too. My dad is also a lot like his dad. My dad hates it when I’m too cocky just like his dad. Although I’m not a quarter back like Caleb is, I’m a wide receiver. I find the book very fun to read and exiting to read.

My favorite part of the story is probably when he proves his dad wrong. His dad said that he can only use the plays that the coach sends out, but he didn’t. He did a fake. He acted like he was going to pass but he faked and ran the ball. It worked so his dad gave him more privileges. I would rate this book 4.5 out of 5. It is a great book and I would recommend this book to people who like football and sports.

Clash

2023-03-15 22:33:25 UTC

In my book clash, this takes place at school there. The main characters are Nat,Olive,Ava,willow. There is a new girl and the
main character Olive wants to be her friend. The new girl nat is unsure but Olive is being super nice to her and nat is jealous of all the friendships that Olive has. Nat is really mean and is disrespectful to olive but nice to all of her other friends. I

In the middle of the book there is a Halloween party at Olive’s house and she invited the whole class including Nat. Everyone was having a really fun time and enjoying themselves! Then Nat wanted to go tick or treating and she said “who wants to go trick or treating with me!?!” But this party was not a trick or treating party this was a hang out. Then Olive’s mom came out and said “ whoa where do you think your going” and Nat said “we are going trick or treating what do you think” and Olive’s mom said “well you will have to call your parents first”. A couple minutes later Bang!

This book was pretty good, I would recommend it! You could kind of predict what happens, but it’s still pretty good. It is a good story and there was definitely a good meaning behind it! One flaw is that it was a bit sappy at the end! But it was good.

I would recommend this book to all age’s between 8 & 14. You would like this book if you like friends , drama , love, family.
This book is decently good and I would recommend it!

Blended

2023-03-15 23:15:21 UTC

In the book blended by Sharon M. Draper, the story takes place with Isabella (the main character) switching between her dads house and her moms house, the author explains that her moms house is the same small shack that she grew up in. And Isabella’s dads house is much cleaner and nicer. She explains that Sundays are the worst because her and one of Isabella’s parents always meet up in front of the Apple Store to do an exchange between them, which is one of the reasons Isabella has had a hard time with her parents splitting up, she says that her parents fight over the silliest things, like when Isabella spilled blue kool-aid all over the table. But when Isabella met her parents partners she really connected with them, especially her dads girlfriend Anastasia who also plays the piano which is one Isabellas talent, she spends a lot of time with her instructor, so she can prepare for her recital.

Divergent

2023-03-16 00:09:31 UTC

In the book Divergent by Veronica Roth, it takes place in a city with five different factions. In the beginning of the book the author tells us how five factions all live in different places throughout the city and how each faction is different. The city has a massive tall building in the middle and has all the factions and destroyed buildings surrounding it, this is where Beatrice lives. Beatrice, a sixteen year old girl that gets divergent results on her faction test has to choose a faction but with the problem of not knowing where she fits in.

After Beatrice chooses her faction which she chose dauntless, which is the brave, her new faction trains all the initiates and ranks them. They are getting trained and ranked for shooting a gun, fighting, and how they respond to a simulation of there fears, if in the end there not in the top ten they will be kicked out of the faction and be faction less. Beatrice ranks first and gets to stay in the faction along with her friends but later she awakes to all of the dauntless sleepwalking but are actually getting controlled by the dauntless and erudite, which is the intelligent, to go and invade the other faction abnegation, which is the selfless. This is the start of the war.

I really liked reading this book, it was very interesting to read and I like the way the author writes. My favorite part of the book would probably be the relationship ship between Tobias (the dauntless trainer) and Beatrice because it was interesting to read about how they are trying to figure each other out and how they are building a stronger relationship with each other, it reminds me of how we are all trying to figure each other out in friendships and other relationships and how we are always building stronger relationships. The author gives a very good, clear description of people and places, she makes the book feel real and clear, it was perfect level to read.

I give this book 5 out 5 stars because it has a great storyline and is really interesting, it gives lots of detail and makes you feel connected to the characters and understand how there feeling and thinking. The age group for reading this book would probably be about 12 and older, it’s more of a teen or young adult book. If you like Harry Potter or the hunger games, this would definitely be a good book to read.

The Night Child

2023-03-16 17:32:20 UTC

In the novel The Night Child by T.M. Palecki, the story takes place in a small island surrounded by woods. The island of Elovoy. It is a fictionalized version of medieval Norway. In the beginning the author describes the village and the woods. Esta , a girl in the village has a power to read people emotions, as well as animals. She lives in a small fishing and honey farming village along their pebbly beach’s and cliffs.
In the first chapters of the story Esta catches an owlet And took him home to take care of. She named him Mane. One day when Esta is walking in the woods with Mane when a cob ( a Norwegian horse.) was startled when he saw Mane. The cob bucked Roan off and ran away. When Roan returned to Elovoy he snuck back into his house but failed. He was caught and ran off. Esta an Erik now have to find Roan.
My opinion on the novel The Night Child is good. I like how much Esta cares for Mane and how much she loves him. I love how Clare ( Esta’s mom) cares about her becoming the next healer. I think that Esta’s relation ship with Mane and that they are like brother and sister.
I would rate the novel The Night Child a 9.9 out of 10. The only reason I would rate it a 9.9 instead of a 10 is because I think that the chapters are too long. Instead of super long chapters I would rather more chapters. I think the bests age group for this book would be 11-29. I think the genre that you should be into if you ant to read this book would be fantasy.

One Last Shot

2023-03-16 17:44:02 UTC

This story takes place in Williams Bay, Wisconsin, are main character is Malcolm a 12 yr old that wants be in the MPGA Mini Professional Golf Association. He talks about conflict that he has experienced, as he quotes “she didn’t realize at the time I had already known 30 curse words including 3 Russian I learned from the school janitor.” I think is a bit disobedient from the start.
Through out the book he talks about a lot of conflict that he has experienced, such as the time he played in Little League. Although he lost many of his games the times they did win it they where very excited to win. Another time he was practicing on a putting, but he couldn’t get the break working on his putts so he worked on it for the rest of the day to improve his putts.
I think this book is a book that has lots of conflict. I personally had a hard time understanding what’s happening in the beginning but becomes easier to understand later in the book. Overall decent book.
I would recommend this to any middle school that is into sports and a little bit of dirty talk. He plays mini golf and talked about his Little League experience and watches sports with his dad. If you want to read it go ahead.

Bad Sister by Charise Harper

2023-03-16 17:46:48 UTC

Charise believes she is a bad sister, but is she really?
“I didn’t mean to, the badness just happened.” Charise is a young girl, about 11 or 12 years old. She is blond, with brown eyes, she is very bright, and kind. And she has younger brother names Daniel. Charise has one problem she often hurts Daniel and not always intentionally. She feels guilty about everything and she can’t stand to look at her brother without remembering what she did. She try’s to fix her mistakes yet she knows “sorry” can’t fix it any more. This book is very enjoyable and quite relatable. I recommend reading this book.

Charise is always hurting Daniel, not always intentionally thought. When they are riding bikes, when they play hockey, Daniel always gets hurt. And soon later Charise realized she isn’t a bad sister she’s just way to rough with Daniel.
And that not everything is her fault all the time.

In my opinion I really enjoy this book. Because it’s just like me and my brother, and it makes me realize that I am almost they the same. Sometime Charise is mean, I don’t think she realizes it but she will often feel bad afterwards. I really like this book and recommend it. I rate this a 4.3 stars ⭐️

The Warrior Heir

2023-03-16 17:48:02 UTC

In the book The Warrior Heir by Cinda Williams Chima, the story takes place in trinity, Ohio, a modern day town where everyone knows everyone. In the beginning the author describes landscapes as a small, grassy, “rustic-y” and green.

The climax in the Warrior heir is when Jack fights a wizard. He fights the wizard with a magical sword that shoots fire. Then he hides in a church.

One reason i love the book the Warrior Heir is because it is suspenseful and its fantasy. One thing that is not the best about the book is that the author describes the surroundings more than the characters. This book was just right for me for levels of difficulty and I think it was more targeted for my age group.

I would suggest this book for most age groups between 4th grade and all the other ages beyond that is if you like sci-fi, fantasy and fiction.

Harry Potter and the soccers stone.

2023-03-16 17:54:50 UTC

The book Harry Potter and the sorcerers stone. This book takes place when Harry Potter was was a baby. Dombeldore left harry on his aunt and uncles house. Harrys aunt and uncle are not nice to Harry Potter, harry and his aunt and uncle have conflict because of that. This book is a really good book to read and watch, but don't watch the movie before you read it because the book has a lot more information and if you are behind reading the book and you watch the movie to catch up it will through you off and miss direct you.

First it shows harry, Dudley, uncle Vernon and aunt petunia in a castle/ house. On the second flour had uncle Vernon and aunt petunia, then on the first floor had Dudley and harry. At the time it was Harry’s birthday, he wrote a cake and candles because his aunt and uncle didn’t make him one. But then suddenly Hagrid burst through the door and gave harry a note for Hogwarts. The next day harry and Hagrid went shopping for the stuff he needs for Hogwarts. Then a week goes by harry wakes up at 5]00 am supper excited that he couldn’t go back to bed, he asked his aunt and uncle to drive him to the train station they said sure. He looked for 9 and three quarters
And he couldn’t find that’s when he met Ron Wesley they instantly became friends, Ron help harry on to the train on the train they sat together on the train they also met hermoine the three instantly became the golden friends.

In my opinion my favorite part of the book is when harry, Ron, and hermoine meet and become friends, this is my favorite part because they are my favorite characters. My least favorite part was when harry fought Voldemort at the end of the book because Voldemort was overpowered. I think this book was moderately hard to read because it was long

I think this book is very good because wizards are so cool and they can do magic. I would rate this book a 4.2 out of 5 stars because the book gives lots of details and is very long. This book would be good for kids and adults that like fantasy. I think people that are 10 to 20 years old would enjoy it just like i do.

New moon

2023-03-16 20:26:21 UTC

In the book New Moon by Stephanie Meyer takes place in a small town called Forks in Washington. In the start Bella a young woman who is quiet has a strong desire to become a vampire, but no one supports her. She is separated from the only person she is able to understand Edward. Her desire to to be vampire causing her to lose him, and she doesn’t know what to do.

First Bella starts seeing things, she thinks that putting her self in danger will help her to see him. she tries to be normal and do normal things but she can’t stop thinking about him. Then she starts doing reckless things like talk to a group of men that followed her, and tried to attack her. Lastly she goes home and doesn’t tell her dad about what happened, and he thinks there is something wrong with her.

My opinion about the book New Moon is that I like it. I like this book because it has a interesting plot. The book is a little difficult to read because of the reading level, but isn’t to bad. My favorite part of my book so far is a part in the book where Edward reveals himself to Bella’s grandmother. I do recommend this book.

I give the book New Moon 3 out of 5 stars. I give my book this rating because it moves very slow, for example around five chapters into the book you still don’t know the conflict. I would suggest the readers to be at least 12 years old to read this book , I would also recommend for readers who like long term fantasy books.

coopermichaud — 2023-03-16 20:29:14 UTC

My Family for the War

2023-03-16 20:30:30 UTC

In the book My Family for the War by Anne C. Voorhoeve takes place in Berlin, Germany in 1938 and the main character is in an underground tunnel by her parents apartment building were her and her family lives. The main character is named Ziska and she is Jewish and is very scared at the start and is very shy and not really out there yet. In the book her problem is she isn’t safe because in that time Jewish people weren’t safe do to the Nazis and the people that didn’t like her because of her being Jewish.

Ziska or Frances is in England with her “family” that is taking care of her. Then, she goes to a gymnasium to watch a movie that one of her guardians is hosting and she meets one of her old friends from the train. And he is acting really weird around her guardian like he doesn’t trust the friend. And this sets Ziska off a bit a doesn’t know what’s happening. Last, she goes home like nothing happened even though something did happen.

The book My Family of the War by Anne C. Voorhoeve is a really phenomenal book. This book is believable and is not confusing it doesn’t hav very long extensive words. Also the story is like you fall into the shoes of the character and you feel her and her emotions. And my favorite part is when she faces her fear at the beginning and jumped out of her house and went into a tree to save her life. Lastly, the author when she writes she captures the characters situation and area she’s in and is very descriptive.

What I would rate this book on a scale of 0-5 is 4.5 stars. And why for this is this book didn’t make me keep on reading it for a long period of time so I would get bored. But if you’re a person who is patient and can read for a long period of time. And if you like historical fiction or even realistic fiction you will love this.

Twice Upon A Time: Beauty and the Beast, The Only One Who Didn’t Run Away

2023-03-16 20:48:48 UTC

The book Twice Upon A Time: Beauty and the Beast, The Only One Who Didn’t Run Away is realistic fiction, it takes place in a small town surrounded by creepy, dark, chilling woods. It starts with a girl named Beauty, she is the youngest sibling, she is jealous of her sister’s beauty and wishes her sister had the name Beauty not her. When her house burns down she is forced to start a new life for her family. The other side of the story is about a boy named Riley, he loves to study stars, he is a second born royal, and is also jealous of his brother for being good at everything. His setting is around the same as Beauty’s, a small town surrounded by creepy, dark, chilling woods. The only difference is he lives in a castle farther away from the small town.

When Beauty is trying to find a job she meets a boy named Handsome who helps her find a job. A little girl named Veronica, a friend of Handsome, gets both of them to meet her grandpa. He is afraid to send Veronica into the woods alone because of fairytales, they both believe they are real. Will Beauty and Handsome go on the journey with Veronica? Riley and his family are on their way to the spring ball when it starts raining. There carriage gets stuck in the mud, they go out into the woods on horses to find water, they find a canal and Riley’s family jokes around about what Riley would look like as a beast with a stranger they found in the woods. He gets cursed as the beast his family was describing and the only way to break the curse is for a girl to fall in love with him, the giant, scary, beast in only 3 months. Will someone fall in love with him?

In Twice Upon A Time: Beauty and the Beast, The Only One Who Didn’t Run Away, I felt like the book was exciting and kept readers on the edge of their seats. For example, the author would leave cliffhangers at the end of each chapter. I thought this book was a good level for me, not to hard but not really easy. A connection I made with this book and other books is first, there was two different perspectives, Riley’s and Beauty’s. Another thing I found in common with this book and other books was a tragic event happened right as the story started for example, Beauty’s house burns down and she has to start a new life for her family.

I haven’t finished my book yet but if I had to rate it so far I would rate it a 4.5, the reason I rated it this is because I like how the author describes the feelings of the characters, this helps me understand what the characters would be like. Another reason why I like this book is because the author leaves cliffhangers after each chapter, this makes me want to keep reading. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes mystery, and multiple character perspectives.

Diary of a wimpy kid

2023-03-16 22:09:57 UTC

It’s about Greg the main character he is a bot in middle and he is cool I guess

2023-03-16 22:15:03 UTC

In the book Hatchet by Gary Paulson there is a smart, kind, brave kid named Brian Robeson. Brian is on a plane in the Canadian forest going to see his dad when the pilot has a heart attack out of nowhere and falls to the ground dead. So Brian has to fly the plane but the plane crashes in the forest in the middle of nowhere. Brian crashes by a L shaped lake where there are trees surrounding him. Brian doesn’t know what to do so all he does is wait for a rescue plane to come save him, but it has been days and no one has came for him.

There is a bear that Brian encounters, so Brian runs away but the bear isn’t chasing him cause the bear just don’t care. Then Brian realizes that the bear wasn’t there for him, instead the bear was there to eat berries from the berry bush by Brian’s shelter.

Brain is currently in a cave and he hears weird noises in the cave with him. Scratching, rattling, and animal noises.
But then he gets this sharp pain in his leg, but Brian can see anything because it’s nighttime. He starts putting pressure on his leg immediately and feels his leg and a porcupine hit his leg. Finally Brian has a dream about his dad and his uncle having a bbq and eating hotdogs and having chips and he wakes up and the porcupine is still next to him and he try’s to hit it with his hatchet but misses and when hitting the rock wall a spark sparks up and that give Brian an idea to make a fire. Or at least attempt to.

In my opinion, I would rate Hatchet by Gary Paulson a solid 4.5/5 because I’m really into survival books. This book kinda reminds me about Cast away (2000) because Brian gets stranded in the middle of now where and has to survive. This book I would recommend for anyone that like survival and realistic fiction books.

Where the Red Fern Grows

Amari and The Night Brothers

harleykoehnke — 2023-03-16 22:15:43 UTC

In the book Amari and The Night Brothers by B. B. Alston, Amari is a brave, young black girl who has discovered a new world in her town. She now has a new job at the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs. Her brother Quinton when missing after getting a new job at the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs and Amari is now on the hunt to figure out what happened to him and she will not stop until she knows he is alive.

Amari’s brother went missing 3 months ago when she gets a note from her brother. After receiving the letter she is nominated for the moonstone award at a new magical summer camp her brother went missing at. She finds out it is the highest ranking and there is only 14 moonstone handed out. She is just waiting to find out more about her brother.

This book is a fun and magical book. You can not predict what is going to happen next which I think is a good key thing about a book. The book is not hard to read but not easy because it is a chapter book. The book is not confusing at all. It is a good book for people who like magic and or mystery.

I recommend this book for people who like mystery and magic. It has two different worlds the supernatural and the regular world I think this makes it more like able. I would give it a 5/5 stars because it has mystery and I like mystery. The supernatural world is for magical being and the regular world is for people. I recommend this book for 8-13.

The door by the staircase

2023-03-16 22:16:11 UTC

In the book the door by the staircase, written by Katherine Marsh, a girl named Mary was adopted from an abusive orphanage and moved into a new, seemingly magical town by her new caretaker, Madame Z. Mary is a curious, inquisitive, shy girl who loves knowing the answers. Iris, the magical town, was filled with magicians, illusionists, healers, and unexplainable tricks. She was living well, a life she had always dreamed of, until Mary realizes that there is something… off about Madame Z. She soon after realizes that Madame Z is actually a witch from Russian folklore named Baba Yaga, who loves to eat children. But, being a reader herself, she knows that occasionally, Baba Yaga will help children. She goes on a journey with her newfound friend Jacob, hoping to save her own life.

Mary has just flew into the forest with Jacob, her friend, because they have decided to catch the firebird. Mary now knows that Madame Z is a witch, and despite the witches vow, Mary is still nervous she will change her mind and harm Mary. Mid mary and her friend can catch the firebird, they both will be granted a wish. Mary wants this wish to ensure her safety, while her friend only wants a home. But, mary used the peach to fly, breaking a promise to Madame Z. After catching the firebird, Mary flew out of the forest, running into Madame Z. Madame Z is furious, but Mary is terrified. What is she changed her mind? What if she wanted to harm Mary?

I kinda liked this book. I have read it before years ago, and remember really enjoying it, but it was very childish and no longer my style of writing. It was a well written book, that would have been very interesting to someone a bit younger than me. The book wasn’t confusing, all of the plots and ideas were laid out in an order that was easy to read. It wasn’t exactly a predictable book, there were multiple unexpected plot twists. The the ending was a good one, it basically had the happily ever after kinda theme to it, no deaths of important characters or anything though. My favorite part was when Mary and Jacob fought Kochey.

My recommendation is this book is for ages 8-11 and it was alright. It was a good book, but it was for ages younger than me so it wasn’t very captivating. If you like magic and folklore this book is a good read. It has a lot of different plot twists and overall I would give it a 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Wood Runner

2023-03-16 22:16:16 UTC

In the book Wood Runner by Gary Paulsen, a boy named Samuel struggles to find his way through the Revolutionary War in search of his parents, who’ve been taken as captives for the Red Coats. In this book, Samuel travels to New York in search of his parents, not even positive if his parents are actually there. But Samuel also makes many friendships in his journey, such as a young girl named Annie whose parents have been taken away from her or an older man carrying messages to and from New York. I recommend this book for any historical book fans, and it is an excellent book for many intermediate-reading individuals.

During this book, Samuel heads to New York, where his parents are kept (or so he thinks). When he arrives, he is told his parents are being held in prisons, so they must sneak in, not get caught by the red coats. Finally, he meets his mother, but she is hurt and crippled, and so is his father; what will Samuel do? And how will he get them back to safety?

I quite personally enjoy this book because it keeps me intrigued and eager to find out what happens next. I also like this book because I can imagine I’m in the Revolutionary War just by reading. It was never hard to understand the setting as, again, I could imagine myself right there. My favorite part would probably be when Samuel is reunited with his parents, as it almost had me in tears. And I think that, in general, Gary Paulsen is a fantastic author, and I love every novel; I think his writing style is incredible.

I recommend this book for 11+ as it keeps you attached, and I never wanted to let go until I finished it. I would give this book a 4/5. My reasoning for this rating is that although it was interesting, the only thing I would add would be the character description. After all, I never knew what any of the main characters looked like, even Samuel. But besides that, this is a great book!

Hatchet

jackkrahenbuhl — 2023-03-16 22:20:49 UTC

In the book Hatchet by Gary Paulson a kid named Brain Robeson is in a plane going to see his dad in Canada. When he is flying through the Canadian forest the pilot complains about his chest hurting and then 30 minutes later his eyes roll around his head and spit is coming down his mouth then Brain knows the pilot had a heart attack and he will need to land the plane in the forest. Brain sees a L shaped lake lands the plane in it and somehow survives when he swims out of the plane he has no idea what to do and thinks they will come for him soon but days later there not there.
He is now very hungry and needs to find food he finds some berries that he’s never heard of and eats them carelessly and ends up regretting it the next night. The next day he goes to find edible berries and succeeds and finds raspberry’s but a bear had beat him to it. Next thing you know he’s face to face
with a bear but the bear doesn’t care he keeps eating it’s berries! So Brain runs and then goes back and no more bear so he picks berries.
The berries seem to be edible and he did not get sick the next night he says the berries were actually super sweet and delicious. Now that he had gotten food figured out he had to try to get a fire! The very next night he had heard something in his shelter and then after throwing his hatchet at the sound he had a super sharp pain in his leg then the sound left and he found out a porcupine had wondered into his shelter and quilled him, so he had to get them out so he jerked on them and they came out but it still hurt. A few days later he finds out that when he threw the hatchet at the porcupine sparks had came out of it! So he thought to himself that’s how I make fire the next morning he made a little mossy bed for the sparks to fly into so first try it did not work so he made a little spot the sparks could sit in and then he swing the hatchet and they lit up into flames and he screamed “FIRE!!!!!!!!” YES!!!!!!!!!!!.”
My opinion on this book is that it is very good and very exciting. I love it when he makes accomplishments and gets super excited but a lot of the time he will get very down and even suicidal. The cool thing about this book is that there are so many times where Brain is so down on his self but his additude changes so quickly. I love this book and it is one of the best books I’ve ever read.
I recommend this book to all students in 5th grade and up this book is a 4.99999/5 for lots of people I don’t know that many people at this age group who don’t like this I think anyone who likes hunting, fishing camping and just the outdoors will love this book. I think the only time you should not read this book is when you are on a plane ha ha. Thank you for reading my report and I hope you read this book. Thanks!

Heartless

2023-03-16 22:21:30 UTC

In the book Heartless by Marissa Meyer, Catherine, the main character, is baking lemon tarts in her kitchen. Catherine is a sweet, wonderful girl, and an amazing cook. The lemons that she used for the lemon tarts came from her dream, at least that’s what she thinks. She is preparing for a ball currently, but as her Mom storms in, all goes wrong. She gets dressed in the tightest red velvet dress, but this is a black and white ball, hosted by the king himself.

Catherine, a young cook, is dreaming of a young boy with lemon yellow eyes, and when she wakes up, a lemon tree is sprouting under her bed, which seemed to “have came from her dream”. She starts preparing for a black and white ball, when suddenly her mom ruins her preparations and makes Catherine look how she wants her to.

I enjoy this book mainly because of how to characters act, and their personality, and their average mood. An example is how Catherine is constantly chipper and energetic, and always looks on the positive side.

I recommend this book to drama lovers, because of the high amount of drama that is in this book. Catherine and her mom argue lot and her and Marry Ann are always having great interactions, so there is always a lot of different things happening mood wise at once.

2023-03-16 22:21:33 UTC

In the book “The Runaway King” written by Jennifer A. Nielsen, Jaren (the protagonist) has to runaway from his role as king after his parents got murdered by his old friend and conflict is brewing up with neighboring country’s.

Will he get himself back to the throne or be defeated by his enemy’s?

Further into the book: Jaren returns the church he grew up in, just to find out the person who fostered him is gone and there was a kid. That kid tricked him into staying somewhere where Jaren got kidnapped. He’s now being forced to join a gang of thugs.

Even farther into the book:

On their first session of thievery Jaren comes to find out the person they’re going to steal from is his old friend.
Jaren felt reluctant but he knew now if he didn’t go through with it he would be killed.
So he reluctantly broke into the building just to find out his regent Mot was there.

I would recommend this book to people of the age 13+ it is a pretty complicated book and I could get lost sometimes but overall it is a really good book. I think the book can shorten parts of it, I feel sometimes I spend 20 minutes on the same part and it can get pretty boring. I personally would recommend this book to people who love conflict and mid evil civilizations. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

2023-03-16 22:29:48 UTC

As a 11 year old reader who loves books that have adventures, comedy, mystery, suspense and father and son bonds with characters who don’t/can’t have children and main characters without parents.

Scat

zanepersinger — 2023-03-16 22:33:54 UTC

This is a book where the setting takes place in a small town (it never says where it’s placed), the main character is Nick lives with his mom and his dad has been in Iraq. He is in the military on a mission and he responds every night to his family/ Nick and his mom. But recently he has not been responding for the past three weeks and they have gotten worried. Nick goes to a private school with a really mean teacher. They went on a field trip to the woods, when they got there there was a fire and they did not want to take any chances so they left but there was a teacher that drove separately (the mean teacher her name is Mrs. Starch) and she got lost in the woods how?
You may you ask. There was a kid that has asthma and she dropped her inhaler in the woods, Mrs Starch ran back to get it she was not found yet.

Paragraph:2
So remember there was a school going on a field trip and they had to cancel it because there was a fire. The main character is Nick and his dad aphid a mission in Iraq and he used to text his family every night but he has not responded for the past 3 weeks and they are getting worried. Back to the field trip they have still not found the teacher they went to her house only to find a huge fat grey rat staring at them and her car was missing! They have a search team trying to find her and they have not found her I wonder if they will ever.

Paragraph: 3
I liked the book, I liked how the book worded things like instead of saying there was a loud boom they would have said “there was a massive sky scraping boom”- they didn’t actually have a boom.
My favorite part of the book had to be when the bully ate the teacher’s pencil it was just super unprintable and funny. I love how this book has a good plot but also gave it some fun senses in it. The book was very unprintable I did not know what happened next almost every time. And usually books relate to me in some way but in this book it did not really relate to me. But I liked the difference.

Paragraph 4
I liked the book I would give it a solid 4 what made me give this a 4 instead of a 5 was probably the cover of the book it’s called scat it did not really have any meaning of the book, how there’s a monkey cat thingy I just don’t see how that relates.
I would recommend this book if you like a funny book. I would recommend this book to 10+ years old because it had some drama and stuff but nothing like insane.

Rules For Vanishing

2023-03-16 22:39:46 UTC

This book is about Sara and her sister Beca who went missing and has been missing for ten months. The tail for Lucy Gallows is ghost story of a girl who got mad at her older sister and ran off into the woods, her brother went to find her; he saw her with a tall ghostly man and then she and the man disappeared never to be seen again. Sara thinks that Lucy kidnapped Beca and took her deep into the North Carolina woods. Now Sara and her friends venture in the woods in search for Beca
Sara and her friends went deep in tho the woods and found a boy how couldn't decide if his name was Isaac or Brian. We will just call him Isaac, but he was a kid in Beca's group and he was waiting for someone he would not say who because he didn't know.
I would give this book five stars. It has so much detail and a lot of build up, wich I don't typically like but this book really needs it and I like that. This book would be great for people in the range of about 11-15

Emperor Pickletine Rides The Bus (An Origami Yoda Book)

yodayoda — 2023-03-20 17:45:08 UTC

In the book, Emperor Pickletine Rides The Bus, the characters are all having the (enter word of your choice here) annoyed out of them by Harvey and his Emperor Pickletine.

Ender In Exile

2023-03-20 17:49:09 UTC

Ender is still in space and his sister Valentine is trying to go to space and stay with him. But his brother Peter, who hates Ender, is trying to get Ender to come home so that he can exploit his return to gain power. Ender thinks he’ll be put on trial for murder, but others think that he won’t because he’s so young.

It is a very good book and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I definitely would recommended this book to others

I rate this book 4.23 out of 5 stars, it’s a wonderful book. I would recommend this to anyone who likes science fiction novels and is between the ages of 11 and 18.

Crenshaw

2023-03-20 20:48:52 UTC

Jackson and his family have fallen on hard times, struggling to find enough money for food and to pay there rent for there apartment, because of falling behind on rent leads Jackson, his dog Aretha, his little sister, and his parents to have to go back to living in there minivan, again . Crenshaw is Jackson imaginary friend a black and white giant surfboarding cat, that has somehow come back into Jackson’s life to try and help him get though the bad days. But can an imaginary friend do anything to help Jackson and his family?

I took a mild liking to this book just because the ending i feel would just leave the reader confused and on a little bit of a cliffhanger although it has an abrupt sodden end. I also wasn’t very satisfied with the ending it was a bit confusing. The plot and setting of the story was very believable and the wording was just perfect for my taste the author made made the wording sound as seemingly you were the main character, the point of view for this character was really good.

I highly suggest that people who like realistic themes would take a liking to this fictional story. I would rate this book
4/5 stars.

The Kiss Of Deception

norasmith1 — 2023-03-20 20:58:25 UTC

The Kiss Of Deception is a book about a girl who runs away with her best friend on the morning of her wedding day. Her fiancé goes looking for her and there is an assassin trying to kill her. The main character is Lia. Lia is super independent and kind but can stand up for herself. She has a wedding kavah on her back.

The conflict right now in the book is Lia ran away and she is trying to hide from other soldiers from other castles. Lia is struggling keeping her identity hidden from others. Lia is working at a tavern and is trying not to get in trouble with her boss.

Something I like about my book is it explains the what’s happening really well. Something I dislike about my book is it’s super slow paced and takes a while to get to the really good part of the story. I was reading and the time it took me to get from where Lia is in her castle to when she gets to the village took me a couple of days. My book is pretty easy for me to read but that’s only because I’m used to reading at this level. This book is pretty predictable. My favorite part is when Lia is walking home and these two guys from the tavern come hit on her and she kicks their buts and stands up for herself. This reminds me of a time when I was at school and kids were calling me names and I stood up for myself.

I would recommend this book because it’s a really adventurous and thrilling kind of book. I would rate this book a 4 star out of 5 stars because it starts off super slow. I would recommend people who like adventure and fantasy and some romance to read this book because it goes over those topics the whole time. I would suggest to be a young adult or in middle school for ages.

Wings of Fire: The Hive Queen

2023-03-20 21:10:21 UTC

Cricket is a HiveWing and she has been running with her friends from Queen Wasp while stealing the Book of Clearsight. She so happens to like a dragon that is different from her kind, a SilkWing named Blue. The queen can control all of the HiveWings except for a few HiveWings, including Cricket. Cricket loves to read books from gigantic library’s in each hive. She doesn’t know that Blue also has a crush on her (which I thought that she would figure that out already because she is smart but she hasn’t..).

In the book, Wings of Fire: The Hive Queen, Blue, Cricket, Sundew, & Swordtail are all running from the Hive Queen, Queen Wasp, Blue is running away from Queen Wasp because he is a Flamesilk. Cricket is running from the law because she stole the Book of Clearsight. Sundew is running from the law because she is a LeafWing (LeafWings were supposed to be extinct a few hundred years ago) and because she helped steal the Book of Clearsight. Swordtail is running from Queen Wasp because his friends helped him escape misbehavior’s way.

Island of the Blue Dolphins

2023-03-20 21:24:13 UTC

2023-03-20 22:36:13 UTC

Tracker by Gary Paulsen is about a boy who every year goes hunting for deer with his grandpa but when his grandpa gets sick with cancer he must go by himself. I think This three time Newbery Honor Author captures the reluctant feeling of the boy by showing the fear of going by himself.

KATT VS. DOGG

2023-03-20 22:39:38 UTC

KATT VS. DOGG is about a cat and a dog. First Katt and Dogg go on a camping trip with their family. Then Dogg chased a squirrel and Katt chased a butterfly and they got lost in the Forbidden Forrest. After that Katt and Dogg try to find their way back to their families. I give this book a five out five

The girl from the sea

avawhite11 — 2023-03-20 22:40:15 UTC

The book “the girl from the sea” by Molly Knox Ostertag takes place in a place called Wilneff island. The main character Morgan is adjusting to her new life without her dad and is trying to fit in. She has three best friends named Lizzie, Selena and Jules. They are you typical best friends fun, supportive and loving. Morgan has a secret and doesn’t know if she should tell her friends and risk them not liking her or pretend to be someone she is not.

Morgan is adjusting to a new life without her dad. She was sitting on the cliffs and crying at night when she fell in. Morgan saw her life flash before her eyes and thought this was the end. That’s when a half seal half human named, Keltie came and saved her. Morgan was shocked and thankful, and they fell in love. Morgan and Keltie kissed and with that kiss it turned Keltie into a full human. Now, Keltie is trying to save her seal family from a boat that is going to ruin their home but Morgan just wants to Keltie to blend in. Morgan is afraid of her and Keltie to stick out and be different. When Morgan’s brother Aiden spills the secret that Morgan and Keltie are dating Morgan freaks out and tries to only see Keltie in secret and avoid her friends. When her friends except her and invites her to their birthday party on a boat, Morgan decided to be OK with being different. On the boat Keltie saves her family and Morgan’s friends forgive her for keeping secrets.

In my opinion “the girl from the sea” is a fantastic book. It gives the readers a very good lesson about not being afraid to be yourself. They showed very good facial expressions for what they were feeling through the drawings. They did a good job showing whether the character is angry or annoyed. There is good setting but they could have given more detail to it. I couldn’t really understand what was the big conflict over small personal problems until the end. Even though of a few flaws over all this was an amazing book and would read it again!

I would give the book a 4 out of 5 because the plot was good and everything about the book was fantastic but it could be more descriptive. I would recommend this book for kids 10 and older. There are a few scenes where Morgan and Keltie are kissing along with that some parts of the book can be hard to understand for younger kids. This book is similar to the movie “the little mermaid” and has the same vibe to it. I would definitely recommend.

2 part I guess

oliviamackie — 2023-03-20 22:40:20 UTC

Billy loves hunting with his dogs almost every night. They have already got into a lot of problems, or maybe just Old Dan. Old Dan and Little Ann are both Billy’s dogs. While Old Dan gets into a lot of trouble, Little Ann gets him out of it. I have not gotten to the main part, but for their first hunt together, the dogs chased a ***they say this is a bad word (a animal they hunt) into a large tree and Billy had to cut down the tree, and as a result, Billy hurt himself. He didn’t stop because he made a promise to his dogs prior that he would cut down a tree that the dogs chased the *** into.

Slider

liamallen2 — 2023-03-20 23:49:31 UTC

Slider takes place in a small town in Iowa called Vacaville. It’s a comedy about a guy named David and he has to make 2000$ before his moms Visa bill comes. He’s running out of options, but while at an eating competition he sees a sign. It says there is an eating contest this week, and the grand prize is 5000$! And with his incredible eating skills he will win that prize easy.

Amari and the Night Brothers

2023-03-21 00:09:03 UTC

In the book Amari and the Night Brothers a Black girl named Amari who’s brother went missing got nominated to go to the same summer camp her missing brother Quinton had gone to, and when she went she got a place in the Bureau of supernatural affairs. She got a really high tank of potential on her second day there, and she’s now on the hunt to find her missing brother Quinton.

Amaris brother Quinton had went missing about 3 months ago when Amari received a special message from him that was magical. Quinton had nominated Amari to go to the same summer camp he had gone to before he went missing, and when there got the highest potential rank called the moonstone badge just like Quinton. She is now on the search to find her missing brother.

Amari and the Night Brothers is very interesting. It had a lot of twists and turns and it can be a little confusing at times but not for long. I really liked it but I can’t really relate to any of the characters. The book is exciting and fun but some of the things seem like I should’ve had to read a first book to know that these things happened and that this is the second book (some things don’t make sense.) I think that over all it’s a good book.

I think Amari and the Night Brothers probably deserves 4/5 stars. I’m giving it this rating because it’s a very good book with a lot of twists and it’s very interesting but it can be confusing at times. Also, there was a lot of dialogue in this book and sometimes they had very long dialogue and it was hard to remember if they where actually still talking because of how long their speeches where. (I know they end with the quotations but still.) I think this book is a good book for people who like mystery, and if you enjoyed Harry Potter you might like this book too. In my opinion this book would be great for 8-13 year olds.

Emperor Pickletine Rides the Bus (An Origami Yoda Book)

yodayoda — 2023-03-21 17:59:57 UTC

In my opinion, the book, Emperor Pickletine Rides the Bus, is a very good book. I really like origami as well as Star Wars. They have many characters from Star Wars. They have Foldy-Wan, Queen Origamidala, Leia Orgami, and many more. They all form an Origami Rebel Alliance.

Be sure to like and leave a comment!

I like this book it shows the beauty of nature and hunting I like hunting so I can relate to this book it shows the connection with nature that you get out of hunting

Part 3! (I’m not to the end yet)

oliviamackie — 2023-03-21 22:28:09 UTC

What is happening in the story right now is suspenseful. Billy was hunting with his dogs and Little Ann got stuck in the river, which was frozen over. Old Dan was worried about Little Ann, and trying to tell Billy that she needed help. The river ice was way too thin and Billy knew that he couldn’t just walk on top of it. Little Ann was close to the end, and Billy didn’t know what to do. He prayed for a help from God, and he gave him a sign. He waded into the river up to his chin, and wasn’t even close to Little Ann, and that’s where I stopped. Sorry for the cliff hanger! I do not think this book is hard to read, just it gets boring sometimes in some parts until there is drama. Other wise, I like the storyline so far. I have heard it’s really sad at the end so I’m kinda scared.

FoxCraft The Taken

linnaeaandre — 2023-03-21 22:29:11 UTC

Is a book about Isla who is a fox, who has to survive and not get found out by the vixen and her pack. to find her family who was taken by the vixen. Isla is determined to find her family and defeat the vixen. She goes through many challenges to find them like in the beginning she has to run through the deathway, (roads) and avoid manglers, (cars) and escape the vixen. When she finally does she goes to a huge area with cages and sad looking animals of all kinds. She finds a huge bone with meat she could eat because she is starving so she tries to grab it but a huge monster with gray and white parts (a wolf) that understands her! She leaves quickly after that and continues her adventure to find her family.

This book would be great for people who like survival, runaway, and nerve racking books. And also the age would probably be 8.5+ and my opinion on this book would be ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5 stars.

I like this book because it shows me that in the worst situations there could always be a solution. And it’s funny, it is at a part when he is training for the contest. He goes to a pizza place and orders a pizza and eats it in two minutes and fifty seconds! Then this older guy shows up and tells him how to get better. But while David is stuffed, the man takes his time and dabs his face slowly and then ends up with a time with three minutes! Then he leaves, then David asks the pizza place boss what his name was, and he says Egon Belt!

Taylor before and After

luciabacon — 2023-03-22 03:32:19 UTC

Summarizing the novel, Taylor Before and After is challenging because it is written in the voice of a person who has “scattered thoughts” and “can’t focus”. But from what I can tell she is a a girl named Taylor Harper who lives in Oahu, Hawaii and moved there from Oregon. She is interested in fashion and her brother loves surfing. The writing style has made it extremely challenging to follow the storyline so this summary is not the best. I have tried reread parts of the book but I keep getting lost in the unfocused thoughts of the character. I wish I would of had the chance to read a different book for this assignment.

My review of the novel Taylor Before and After is that I though it had a lot of potential but the writing style was extremely challenging and disorienting to read and I had a very hard time following the book. For example the author introduces 14 new characters in just the first 14 pages and all of their relationships between each other which for me is overwhelming and I can’t remember all of that information. Second is how frantic the writing seems, some of the sentences only consist of one word and are completely random . The subjects change at super random times too. Third is the fact that it has two altering timelines that change at random points in the bok.

My recommendation for the book, Taylor Before and After is for advanced readers who can decipher between two complex timelines. If this seems like an appealing book to you this could be a great match. I would recommend this book to people from ages 12-16. I think this is a great book for young teens who love realistic fiction and suspense.
(By the way this is the first paragraph)
The book, Taylor Before and After takes place in Oahu Hawaii. The main character Taylor loves fashion and misses her old home in Oregon. Her brother Eli is in away in college. Taylor’s best friend is very rich and popular. Life is well until a very fatal accident happens.

Island of the Blue Dolphins

2023-03-23 21:04:54 UTC

In the book Island of the Blue Dolphins by SCOTT O ‘ DELL, this story takes place on an island, this island has the most otters around their island people come from far away just to hunt otters to get their skin. In the beginning of the story, captain orlov comes to the island to hunt otters but karanas father says they have to pay their village to hunt on their island. Karanas father takes them to their side of the island but they can’t pass to Karanas fathers side of the island or there will be consequences. Once they have stayed for a while Karanas father has some of his men stay near their camp just in case they try to leave without paying them back. Captain orlov and his men try to leave with all the otter skins they have hunted but Karanas father catches them when they are about to leave and they get in a huge fight on the sand. Karanas dad gets knocked down and lays there for a while.

Karanas brother ramo spots a ship in the distance and when it comes to shore they say that their old captain they thought was dead sent them to take the rest of his village to the island that most people don’t know exists. Ramo noticed that he forgot his fishing spear so he thought he could grab it quickly and come back, but as he was walking back he saw the ship wasn’t there so he was running along the cliff. Karana saw her brother running alone the cliff, she tried to get the captain to move his ship more near the cliff so Ramo could jump in but the captain said no. Karana jumped from the boat and started swimming to the sandy shore.

One day Ramo went to go spear for fish, as karana woke up she noticed her brother wasn’t there so she went to go look for him. She searched the whole island but when she came to a cliff area she heard the dogs howling and fighting so she decided to get closer and see what was going on. As she got closer she saw the dogs making a circle around Ramo. She came closer and she noticed Ramo was dead, he had a huge wound on his neck and another one on the side of his body from the dogs.

I definitely recommend this book. This book is 100% a book I would read again. I would rate this book a 4.87 out of 5 because the beginning of the book almost lost me but as I kept reading it got better and better. If you like adventurous types of books I recommend this book. Although it starts off slow it gets better trust me.

Part 4

oliviamackie — 2023-03-23 22:33:08 UTC

I rate this book a 4/5. The story line is really good, it can just get boring at times, but when it gets interesting it’s kinda addicting lol. I think this book is about 11+ because it has slight cursing, and the reading level might be hard for a 10 yr old. I have not gotten done with it yet, but I heard it’s pretty sad, so if you don’t like sad animal books, this ain’t for you.

liamallen2 — 2023-03-23 22:38:38 UTC

I would recommend this book to people between the ages of 8-15 because it’s a funny book for elementary kids and it’s kind of a book for middle and high schoolers. The main character is a kid named David and he does some things that he regrets later on with himself and his parents. Then tries to make it up without telling anybody but his friends. I would rate this book a five out of five because I am hungry most of the time and this is a book about food. I also like this because it’s relative to my life a little bit and I do some things I regret then I try to make things right. That’s who I would recommend it to and why I rated it.

Out Of My Heart

2023-03-23 22:42:43 UTC

Out of my heart by Sharon M.Draper is a good book with an entertaining story. The main character is melody, you’ll hear more about her in other paragraphs, the different settings are home, the car, the woods, and camp. Melody has a little sister and the sisters live with their parents in a nice neighborhood. The neighborhood kind of judges her family since they got in a car accident 2 years ago, the accident pushed melody into a wheelchair. upsettingly.

Melody is going to camp for a week and it’s the first time being away from her parents in her entire life. She is mute and in a wheelchair. She is a brunette with blue eyes, she has an awesome sense of humor, but she is terrified about going to camp. Her parents are struggling to see her go too, he little sister is FREAKING out about it! Her sister can definitely be over bearing sometimes but she loves her family so much. Melody loves her little sister and loves to help her out.

I have a big opinion on the book and I feel like more people should read this book! Melody the main character is a sweet heart! She has strong opinions but she likes to keep them to herself, she is awesome at sign language and LOVES horses! Her little sister is funny but clingy and annoying at the same time! Her parents love to see both of the kids grow up, melody and her little sister penny. They always take things pretty rough about melody though! Melody is a good kid, but I guess she also can’t do much. Her parents watch over her allllllllll the time! They are just worried about her though.

My recommendation on this book is for ages 10-12 or older! If you like books of courage and excitement I would definitely read this book! This book has such an awesome message and kids should definitely get themselves into books like these! I would give this book a 3.9 out of 5 stars!

Keeper of the Lost Cities

marlowilson — 2023-04-05 17:00:01 UTC

( FYI I can’t edit mine so I’m making a new one )

In the book Keeper of the Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger, the story takes place in the Lost Cites, an imaginary land. In the beginning, the author describes Sophie as a short, blonde, brown eyed mind reader. Fitz, an elf, comes and take Sophie away to the Lost Cities were she finds out she is an elf. Eventually, Sophie goes to live with her elvish caretakers, Grady & Edaline, in Havenfeild. Now, Sophie must pass all of the test to get into Foxfire Academy.

I didn’t get to the climax yet. I’m about 1/3 of the way done)

So far the book Keeper of the Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger is very interesting. One example is, Sophie goes to elf school called Foxfire and she is very confused about her classes. When she gets into the “E” she almost gets hit my lightning. This book has been kind of hard to read because they use imaginary words such as muskog. Some of the words are hard to understand and look really weird. Some connections I made with book were that Sophie’s is shy when she meets new people and so am I. Also, Dex is very outgoing and he can easily ignore the haters and I feel like I am pretty similar.

I would rate Keeper of the Lost Cities a 5 out of 5. I love this book because there are constant cliffhangers. I recommend it for kids from 9-12. If you like Harry Potter or Malala’s Magic Pencil you might enjoy this. This book has a little bit of everything, teen drama, romance, magic, friends, and more. It talks about relatable things but adds that spark you didn’t see coming. I love how Sophie doesn’t feel welcomed when she comes but she had the ability to make a new friend on her very first day. So overall I give this book a 5 out of 5! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
