https://padlet.com/evolpi/amk35xm8q617 Titles, Authors, and Little Bitty Reviews of Books We've Loved and Hated This Semester en-us 2019-12-19 14:21:10 UTC 2020-03-12 23:27:03 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f60f.png evolpi https://padlet.com/evolpi/amk35xm8q617/wish/425892312 I have to give this book a fair shake:  it had some poignant lines and several laugh out loud moments.  Plus the story was pretty easy to read.  It was about a Jewish boy named Jacob at a tough time in his life.  The focus of the story was on his school and family life, and a particularly nice-looking and very young live-in housekeeper.  
But I don't recommend it.  I mean, we get it Braff:  people think about sex sometimes.  But Braff, in trying (too hard?) to connect with his young-adult audience spent so much time here that it became redundant, tiresome.  Like a speaker who makes a good point but then just 
won't. 
stop.

This is The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster. If you like a wild ride with many punny misadventures along the way and a gang of misfit character archetypes led by a boy late middle-school to early high school age who could kind of not care less about almost everything, then this is a great pick for you! It's funny, fast, and easy to read - an adventure I hated to see end!]]> 2019-12-19 14:21:10 UTC https://padlet.com/evolpi/amk35xm8q617/wish/425892313 evolpi https://padlet.com/evolpi/amk35xm8q617/wish/425892315 Review and *maybe* a brief, brief summary.

I have never been appealed to non-fiction books, but the way Marika Meeks captured the reader and brought them into her own life was phenomenal. With a main focus on her battle with cancer, suicidal thoughts, bully breed discrimination, and the emotional power rescuing a dog can have on one's life, Incredibull Stella brought me on a rollercoaster of emotions. ]]> 2020-01-29 19:24:55 UTC https://padlet.com/evolpi/amk35xm8q617/wish/437797179 116683 https://padlet.com/evolpi/amk35xm8q617/wish/437797228 I haven't got much into the book, but I already love it way more than the movie.

It was a book that gave a lot of suspense and mystery without taking it to far or doing too much. It never felt like it dragged on and make you really want to read the book's sequel.]]> 2020-01-29 19:27:26 UTC https://padlet.com/evolpi/amk35xm8q617/wish/437799033 103041 https://padlet.com/evolpi/amk35xm8q617/wish/437799128 I think this is a very well put together book it is very funny and apply to today society thought process i am not far in the book but so far there is a kid helping a villain but the twist is that the kid is a shape shifter and can change into anything that is real and living i would give this book a good 8/10 and plus its a comic so it really pulls it all together ]]> 2020-01-29 19:27:37 UTC https://padlet.com/evolpi/amk35xm8q617/wish/437799128 https://padlet.com/evolpi/amk35xm8q617/wish/437801282 Although I have only read about 8 pages in this book, I have to say this book seems like a keeper. It's about a kid who was the best athlete at his old school and moves to a new school. His athletic fame has to start over when he has problem with the Coach's son.

It has action, suspense, and even some comedy. It follows a character named Thomas who is sent to a place that he doesn't recognize. He finds out that he has been sent to a maze with about 50 other boys. When the only girl there shows up, everything starts to change. The group tries to find a way out of the maze before it gets the best of them.]]> 2020-01-29 19:30:42 UTC https://padlet.com/evolpi/amk35xm8q617/wish/437801412 537765 https://padlet.com/evolpi/amk35xm8q617/wish/437803823 Although I have only read about 8 pages of this book, I have to admit it's a keeper. It's about a kid who was the best athlete at his old school and he moves to a new school. His athletic fame has to be restarted as he competes for a starting spot against the coach's son.

For his entire life, he thinks about suicide. He has built up anger and wants to take it out on himself. This book is realistic fiction, which is an unusual read for me. I really enjoyed this book because I think a lot of people experience feelings like this and sadness for things that they shouldn't. For accidents and other bad things that happened to them that they couldn't prevent. This was a keeper for me and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good book!]]> 2020-01-29 20:38:06 UTC https://padlet.com/evolpi/amk35xm8q617/wish/437842657 13607 https://padlet.com/evolpi/amk35xm8q617/wish/437932103 I'm only halfway through this book and I'm loving it. It's about a person named Malcolm whose life was turned around in an instant, since both of his parents were murdered and his dream of being a lawyer gotten him laughed out of school. He then gets lured by the beautiful city of NYC to restart his life, but gets stumbled upon dangerous situations and that freedom is an illusion. I highly recommend this book to everyone. It's eye-opening, inspiring, and extremely fun to read.]]> 2020-01-30 01:02:47 UTC https://padlet.com/evolpi/amk35xm8q617/wish/437932103 13920 https://padlet.com/evolpi/amk35xm8q617/wish/437969392 This book has a way of changing the way you look at people, it is one of my all time favorites and it's something that everyone should read. Though this book is over 50 years old, it stands the test of time in a classic retelling of childhood. No spoilers, you should just read it.]]> 2020-01-30 03:27:01 UTC https://padlet.com/evolpi/amk35xm8q617/wish/437969392 https://padlet.com/evolpi/amk35xm8q617/wish/438377247 This book contains plenty of humor and the main character expresses many everyday problems in the book and how he deals with them. For example, expressing the suffering of going to school and the boringness of staying at home and being bullied by school mates and siblings. And many more like having older generation parents and grandparents. If you want to read humorous picture books, then this book is definitely for you. Even though I've only read about 1/3 of the books, it is very fun and exciting to read the story, and I am very excited to read the rest of the storyline.]]> 2020-01-30 18:45:44 UTC https://padlet.com/evolpi/amk35xm8q617/wish/438377247 133201 https://padlet.com/evolpi/amk35xm8q617/wish/438461697 I haven't completely finished Wildwood but it is the freshest book in my mind so I am going to write about the beginning of it. It starts off with Prue watching her brother. They go to a park when suddenly, he is carried away by a murder of crows into the impassable wilderness (IW). She ends up going into the IW with her classmate, who followed her in. The book has thrown me for loops and is a great read so far.]]> 2020-01-30 20:45:12 UTC https://padlet.com/evolpi/amk35xm8q617/wish/438461697 10303 https://padlet.com/evolpi/amk35xm8q617/wish/438561846 The book was really hard to put down.

He had just finished his football season as a starting varsity quarterback. When he meets his basketball coach for the first time it makes him very nervous because the coach doesn't like football players and he's already late to the season because the football team went to the state championship and lost.

The book uses big words or allusions that have no purpose and add nothing to the story. It tries to be a detective novel while adding the high school click elements. He randomly just has a gun??
