         <description><![CDATA[<div>"Forgotten magic is like a flower in winter. It disappears down into the depths of the person, and anyone looking could be forgiven for thinking it had gone away completely. But it hasn't gone - it just has to be woken up again."</div><div><br></div><div>There are many memorable quotes and metaphors nestled within the pages of The Hatmakers... a trove of magical buried treasure to unearth. I look forward to reading more about the world of the makers and I applaud this debut author for a fast-paced, upbeat, clever, and endearing read! My hat is off to you, Ms. Merchant!</div>]]></description>

The author used U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt's journals to create this nonfiction account of his journey charting the Amazon River tributary called the River of Doubt.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>When I finish reading a book as affecting as this one, I sometimes hold it in my hand and marvel that a stack of paper contains so much richness. Though the genre is historical fiction, some characters are modeled on the author's ancestors and she included family photographs in the last pages (a delightful surprise). The story is layer after layer of intricate details, beautiful moments, and memorable words of wisdom. The storyline is uplifting and wholesome, yet realistic. Get your tissues out for the final chapters, and be prepared to learn a few things and self-reflect. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Sinead's memoir is a page-turner and I was a little sad when I reached the epilogue. She references many songs, people, and events that I enjoyed researching. Sinead seems a very genuine and deeply spiritual person. Though some of her opinions over the years may have seemed harsh, she is an introspective person who makes excellent points for humanity to consider. While reading, I spent some time watching music videos and live performances I had never seen and she blew my mind. Also, she's hilarious!&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>&nbsp;<br><strong>I</strong><strong><em>n this book is about a 14 year old boy Alex Rider.Alex convinces agents Carver and Troy to let him accompany them on a scuba diving excursion, which is really another spy operation. Carver and Troy are killed by a trap set by Sarov in a cave underneath his mansion, and Alex is taken hostage. The mad general doesn’t want to hurt Alex, even though he knows Alex is an MI6 agent. Alex reminds the general of his only son who was killed in the war between Afghanistan and his country. General Sarov offers to adopt Alex. Sarov thinks Alex is considering his offer as they fly to Russia where the general plans to set off a nuclear bomb in a harbor of outdated and rusted Russian submarines. On the way, they stop in London to fuel their jet, and Alex escapes. Sarov recaptures Alex, but not before the young spy is able to get the attention of the authorities. In Russia, Sarov and his men seize control of a submarine yard and the nuclear bomb is lowered onto the top of a sub. Alex manages to stall Sarov and his men until Russian soldiers arrive to take control of the situation. The bomb is defused. Sarov realizes that Alex does not want to be his son and shoots himself.<br><br>By Aksu Aktoprak(y 8.1)</em></strong></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This book is my favourite book, until I read the other 6 books, because it is very interesting, and I recommend reading it, if you want to read something literarilly.&nbsp;<br>This book is all about Harry's life, it is mostly about him in hogwarts. In the start of the few chapters, it explains how he is miserable with his arrogant muggled Dursley's (muggle - wizard way of saying non-magic people.). Later, he escapes "home" and enter a brand new term in Hogwarts. Hogwarts has plenty of mysteries, and in this book, it talks about "The Chamber Of Secrets". The "The Chamber Of Secrets", is a place, where the owner of Slytherin created, and there, a deathly stare stands there, waiting for their next prey.<br>That is all I can say, as I don't want to spoil everything. :)<br><br>- Ayla Mehraliyeva :)</div>]]></description>

It can't relate to an exact genre it's mixed and that's what makes it unique. While reading this book I imagined everything in my head and it felt like I was actually in the story. Not going to spoil anything to make it more interesting. Enjoy! </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>I really like reading books, and I probably will post more of my favorites, but for now my favorite series is the Harry Potter series. The 5th book is particularly the best one. It’s the longest book of all 7 (800 pages) and by far the best one. I really liked how McGonnagal always argued with Dolores Umbridge. I also like how Harry answered to Cho when she said Marrieta (or whatever her name was) was a good person even if she betrayed Dumbledore’s Army. The saddest part was probably Sirius Black's death.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>I have just finished reading the last book in these series, and I can say that these book series are one of my favorite. If I'm being honest, these books do not have powerfull vocabulary and don't teach anything. They are mostly for fun and interest. </p><p><br/></p><p>These books are about the life of a girl named Nicky Maxwell. Actually, they are not books, but Nicki's diaries. I can say that these series were very similar to the "diaries of the wimpy kid". I noticed that the dork diaries were meant for girls and not really for boys.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Best book I’ve ever read. The ending is really unexpected, and the book is a little bit tragic (particularly the part about the kidnapping of the Armstrong baby). 10/10 really recommend it, + it’s so interesting I’ve read about 150 in one day! (it’s available in the library). The main character (Poirot)  is really smart, and then ther was this character his name was Colonel Arbuthnot (my personal least favorite).</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>My favourite book is Chjarlie and the chocolate factory here is some info of what happens: Mr. Willy Wonka, the eccentric owner of the greatest chocolate factory in the world, has decided to open the doors of his factory to five lucky children and their parents. In order to choose who will enter the factory, Mr. Wonka devises a plan to hide five golden tickets beneath the wrappers of his famous chocolate bars. The search for the five golden tickets is fast and furious. Augustus Gloop, a corpulent child whose only hobby is eating, unwraps the first ticket, for which his town throws him a parade. Veruca Salt, an insufferable brat, receives the next ticket from her father, who had employed his entire factory of peanut shellers to unwrap chocolate bars until they found a ticket. Violet Beauregarde discovers the third ticket while taking a break from setting a world record in gum chewing. The fourth ticket goes to Mike Teavee, who, as his name implies, cares only about television.</p><p>Charlie Bucket, the unsuspecting hero of the book, defies all odds in claiming the fifth and final ticket. A poor but virtuous boy, Charlie lives in a tiny house with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bucket, and all four of his grandparents. His grandparents share the only bed in the house, located in the only bedroom, and Charlie and his parents sleep on mattresses on the floor. Charlie gets three sparse meals a day, which is hardly enough to nourish a growing boy, As a result, he is almost sickly thin. Once a year, on his birthday, Charlie gets one bar of Wonka chocolate, which he savors over many months. The Bucket family’s circumstances become all the more dire when Mr. Bucket loses his job. But a tremendous stroke of luck befalls Charlie when he spots a raggedy dollar bill buried in the snow. He decides to use a little of the money to buy himself some chocolate before turning the rest over to his mother. After inhaling the first bar of chocolate, Charlie decides to buy just one more and within the wrapping finds the fifth golden ticket. He is not a moment too soon: the next day is the date Mr. Wonka has set for his guests to enter the factory.</p><p>Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Bucket can accompany Charlie to the factory. Mr. Bucket must search for work to put food on the table and Mrs. Bucket must care for the invalided grandparents. Magically, Charlie’s oldest and most beloved grandparent, Grandpa Joe, springs out of bed for the first time in decades. Charlie’s lucky find has transformed him into an energetic and almost childlike being. Grandpa Joe and Charlie set out on their adventure.</p><p>In the factory, Charlie and Grandpa Joe marvel at the unbelievable sights, sounds, and especially smells of the factory. Whereas they are grateful toward and respectful of Mr. Wonka and his factory, the other four children succumb to their own character flaws. Accordingly, they are ejected from the factory in mysterious and painful fashions. Augustus Gloop falls into the hot chocolate river—while attempting to drink it—and is sucked up by one of the many pipes. Veruca Salt is determined to be a “bad nut” by nut-judging squirrels who throw her out with the trash. Violet Beauregarde impetuously grabs an experimental piece of gum and chews herself into a giant blueberry. She is consequently removed from the factory. With the hope of being on his beloved television, Mike Teavee shrinks himself, and his father has to carry him out in his breast pocket. During each child’s fiasco, Mr. Wonka alienates the parents with his nonchalant reaction to the child’s seeming demise. He remains steadfast in his belief that everything will work out in the end.</p><p>After each child’s trial, the Oompa-Loompas beat drums and sing a moralizing song about the downfalls of greedy, spoiled children. When only Charlie remains, Willy Wonka turns to him and congratulates him for winning. The entire day has been another contest, the prize for which is the entire chocolate factory, which Charlie has just won. Charlie, Grandpa Joe, and Mr. Wonka enter the great glass elevator, which explodes through the roof of the factory and crashes down through the roof of Charlie’s house, where they collect the rest of the Bucket family.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>My 4th favorite story is billionaire boy.The story is about a 12 year old billionaire, Joe Spud, who lives with his billionaire dad, who made money out of revolutionary Bumfresh toilet paper. The Spuds live in a very large country home. The two of them have everything they could ever want, such as an oranguran butler, a bowling alley, a cinema, and servants. Nevertheless, Joe is depressed and unhappy when he doesn't have any friends. He leaves a wealthy children's school to join a local comprehensive. There he meets 12 year old Bob, with whom he becomes friends.</p><p>After the cross-country run where Bob and Joe come last and second to last, respectively the two go to Raj's store, where Raj reveals Joe's secret. Bob is angry at Joe for not telling him but eventually he accepts it. Then they encounter Dave and Sue Grubb, two bullies whose main target is always Bob. The Grubbs dump Bob in the bin. Joe then discovers that Bob's father died and offers the £50 note that he had offered him to come last in the race. Bob refuses, however. Joe later pays the Grubbs to not bully Bob without Bob knowing.</p><p>Later that day, in History class with Miss Spite or The Witch Joe realizes he has forgotten his History homework, and Miss Spite gives him 15 minutes to retrieve it, and Joe calls his father. Len Spud arrives in a Bum Air helicopter, unveiling Joe's secret to the entire school. Joe is chased by everyone, all wanting money from him, and ultimately arrives to Miss Spite five seconds late, and she puts him on litter duty; Joe tries to explain, but Miss Spite does not listen and puts him on litter duty for a month.</p><p>During his litter duty where Bob helps him, the Grubbs arrive to reveal Joe's money deal with them. Bob, angered, calls Joe a spoiled brat and leaves, ending their friendship.</p><p>After the half-term holidays, a new girl, Lauren, arrives at the school and all the boys have their eye on her, even Joe. Soon Joe and Lauren become best friends. Bob comes along to warn Joe that Lauren is a fake but Joe, suspecting that Bob was jealous of her, responds that he has no friends and felt sorry for him. Bob is enraged and ends his friendship with Joe for good, not before slapping the wad of £50 pound notes Joe tries to offer and states that he is the one people should feel sorry for. Joe comes home one day and finds out that his Dad is holding a massive party. Sapphire his Dad's horrid new girlfriend blurts out that she had seen Lauren on television before. Soon enough, Joe found out that his dad had paid Lauren to be his friend, he then angrily blames his dad and his wealth for ruining his life, and decides to run away.</p><p>Raj, the kindly newsagent, finds Joe sleeping in a skip and talks over with Joe about his situation. Joe goes to Bob's home to apologize. Bob accepts but they soon find out on TV that Mr Spud had lost his fortune as everyone is suing him because Bumfresh is making everyone's bottom go purple. Joe returns to Bumfresh Towers, and his father suggests that he should save something from the house before the bailiffs take everything. Mr Spud is surprised when Joe returns with a rocket made out of loo roll that he made before they became billionaires, because he says it was "made with love". Later, Joe's father marries Bob's mum so Joe and Bob become step-brothers and the story concludes.</p>]]></description>
