Author: E. L. Konigsburg

Rating: 4

Genre: Realistic Fiction

Review: If you ever felt like running away, this is definitely the adventure book for you. After you read this, you may have second thoughts because running away is harder than you might think. Jamie and Claudia run away to a museum and then find themselves having trouble keeping track of their money, hiding from the guards, and having to take baths in a fountain. Also, while doing all of those things, they are trying to solve the mystery of a statue called Angel, possibly by Michelangelo. I recommend this book to people who like adventure and mystery with a dash of mischief.

Rating: 5

Review: Once you open this book, you will have stepped into a book of adventure and teamwork. Claudia and Jamie Kincaid ran away to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City because Claudia wasn't appreciated by her parents. They had to work together to get food, hide from the guards, and solve the mystery of the Angel. The author does a good job of keeping us interested in the characters. For example, Jamie would say something funny and rude at the same time. This book was exciting and adventurous while revealing a surprising secret. I would recommend this book to people that like to solve mysteries and never have a dull moment.

Review: In Erin Hunter's book she has such a good explanation on how feelings are entered between characters. As something happens she has something in the text that gives so much emotion to her writing. The story tells how Fireheart and Graystipe are in a force to help the windclan warriors be founded. As things happen to characters she expresses all emotion in a certain way it may make you want to cry...and other emotions. It has a very interesting story...highly recommended!

There is another one called " Why do I Have to Clean My Room?" and it tells about a kid who doesn't want to clean his room even when there is dirty things hidden in it. Jack Prelutsky is a very great poet.

Rating: 5

Genre: Non-Fiction

Review: You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll be entertained, but mostly you'll just be totally grossed out. Right as you pick up this book and start reading. Did you know that cat litter helps get rid of sneaker stinch, you share 18% the same DNA with weeds. Do you know of the city Ding Dong, Texas or how to hypnotise a chicken, I bet not! Did you know Romans had to share a sponge on a stick instead of toilet paper, EWWWW! That is not all, this book includes jokes like "What do you get when you cross a snowman and a vampire (frostbite) Ha Ha! It even has something to keep your brain in shape, brain teasers. You'll never get bored. The Illustrator: Niki Catlow has hilarious pictures usually including a boy or a girl doing something crazy. When I started reading this book I was lost in it because os the authour's use of words and the facts that they found. I love this book because all the facts were true but they mademe laugh. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a laugh every once in a while but also enjoys learning facts.

Genre: Historical Fiction

Review: this is an historical fiction about baron von meusebach. He was a wealthy educated lawyer from Berlin. He immigrated to Texas and founded the city of Fredericksburg. This book addresses his treaty with Comanches. In return for mercy over the German settlement the Comanches would be left alone to their affairs in their territory. Buffalo hump was the warchief of the northern Comanche hordes. Meusebach had half a dozen comrades: surgeon solider architect doctor and sheep rancher Agnes was the Austrian countess wife of the baron My opinion is that this book be edited for sexual themes mature content blood and gore and lepers and their song.

Genre: Fantasy

Review: Main Characters: Eragon Brom Arya Saphira Plot Summary: Eragon finds a dragon egg in a range of mountains known as the spine and strange events happen. His relative goes out with a trader; two mysterious creatures known as ra’zac come asking locals where the egg is. Eragon flees to two separate cities across the continent: one is in the desert another is in the woodlands. Mainly he stays at inns and then eragon starts getting visions in his sleep. This is called scrying. It’s like drilling into another person’s mind and taking what information you want. There’s a rebel faction that fights the tyrant king and there’s a big battle where brutish creatures called urgals throw themselves at the rebels as cannon fodder which is piling the ground with the corpses of you and your friends until the enemy is tired out like a panting dog in need of water. Would you recommend this book to readers? Yes Why or why not? Because it is excellent…. Lord of the rings doesn’t stand a chance against eraqon because this book can capture critics all around the US. When I first started reading the prologue I became attached to the book.

Author: Susan Cooper

Rating: 1

Genre: Fantasy

Review: If you can't fall asleep at night read this book because it will knock you out cold! It is super boring, trust me. The reason why I think this book was a bore was because it wasa mainly about a boy in a storybook characters like Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and his beanstalk, and the Big Bad Wolf. How lame is that? I mean come on this is a blue bonnet book i thought blue bonnets were supposed to be good! This book is unorganized from start to finish with ideas jumping all over the place! This book did not have any good word choice instead it had words like wow, cool, walk, run, fast, and nice. Seriously why did they even publish this book? The author needs to get a new style of writing or something.I do not reccomend this book to anyone over 2nd grade because it is way to easy and cheesy for 3rd, 4th, or 5th grader. This book is garbage! Caution strong boredom and drowsyness will come when reading. Well thats only my opinion so if you think it will be good knock yourself out.

He needs to do this so he can be prepared to face the tyrant. This is where he learns more of the dragon riders’ ways. This is the sequel to a series. Would you recommend this book? Yes Why or why not? Read the first book or watch the movie, just understand that this book makes toliken’s Frodo look like a ant compared to paolino’s eragon. If you’ve seen lord of the rings on TV or read the series, you’ll know what I mean. Also rent eragon on XBOX at nearest BLOCKBUSTER or GAMESTOP.this book kind of borrows the training part from star wars V

Review: A Light in the Attic has the funniest poems. This funfilled poem book has 136 poems of laughter. Some of the poems don't make any sense but that is what makes it so funny. Like the poem "Hurk". It says thing like "I'd rather play hurk than go to work". Hurk isn't even a real word. Also a poem like "Homework Machine" is funny because person thinks she made the most perfect homework machine. Turns out to be really bad. Her homework comes out and says "9+4=3. This author is one of the best poem writers I have heard of. His poems are kindof short but some are about two pages long. I recommend this book to kids of all ages that like funny and silly books to read this book!!

Title: Wyoming

Author: Paul Joseph

Rating: 3

Genre: Non-Fiction

Review: This wonderful informational book Wyoming has great description. You even learn thing you never knew before. By that I mean did you know that Wyoming's state flower is the Indian paintbrush, the state bird is the Meadowlark, The capital is Cheyenne, and that it was the 44th state to be admitted to the United States of America. Also the motto of Wyoming is Equal rights, and the border states are to the West Idaho and Utah to the North Montana, to the East South Dakota and Nebraska, and to the South Utah and Colorado.Also that Wyoming was almost called Cheyenne beacause a Native American's name was Cheyenne and Wyoming was the first state to allow Women to vote.In 1924 Nellie Taylor Ross was elected First Women Governer in the United states. The author Paul Joseph did a very nice job to tell the reader about the state Wyoming. The part I thought was very persuasive was when he told the part about the very first national park The Devils tower. I Recommened this book to people who either need information about states are enjoy reading about different states any way you read this book it just never stops getting intresting.

I recomend this book to people who love boxing,action and to people who like good books!

Almost every poem rhymes which makes it even better. It's also kid friendly. The reason why is because most of the poems are about kids. I like how the poems rhymed. My favorite poem in this book is called Bleezers Ice Cream. I really liked this book and I think people with a good sense of humor should read it too.

Rating: 5

Genre: Non-Fiction

Review: This book tells stories about teenagers,their love life ,problems,and more.from my opinion,the best story in this book is about when a girl's boyfriend dumps her for her best friend,and she becomes devestated.She wants him back so much,that she was willing to make him jealous by going out with another guy.After about a week of dating,she makes her ex-boyfriend jealous,and wins him back.The author of this book chose people with good stories.Some were devastating,some were happy and some just make you want to burst into laughter.This book would be purfect for teenagers,but also great for kids from 8-13 years old.So rush to the library before other people get this book before you do.

Review: Like poetry? Well if you do I think you should read this book because it's poems are varying with excited poems or just plain funny poems. One of my favorite poem is a concrete poem of a dog.It's in the form of a dog and is just plain funny.Another one of my favorite poem's is (You come too)and is about Jack (the main character)and how he choose a dog in the Animal Shelter.This poem leads up to the main poem (My Sky). This book is great because you can feel Jack's emotions in this book and poems will sweep you off your feet. THis book made me feel a little different about poetry and made me think a little diffrentley about poetry too.I recommomend this book to peoplewho like poetry

Rating: 5

Genre: Realistic Fiction

Review: This book is more funny than any book I ever read again its funny, cool and it gives you the feeling that something bad or good might happrn right this second.Its also really exiting like the time when Hank got his report card grade all D's,so he put his report card in the machine that cuts meat.But he didnt know it was going to be sent to one of his teachers,that was funny.And another is when Cheerio Hanks dog spins out of control with Nina Hanks teachers dog,and guess what they broke about everything in the house.Then someone it didnt mension in the book called Hanks parents.So then Hanks parents come and hes busted.I liked how the author described the characters especially the dog he described him funny.This realistic fiction book has lots of good and funny illustraions.I think Henry Winkler just by reading his book he must be a funny guy,and I really want to meet him.This time once out of ten books I had the feeling of reading this book three times thats how much i liked this book.I recommened actually strongly recommened this book to kids that barely have time to laugh and enjoy commedy and like hearing about two crazy dogs spinning in a cicle and breaking nearly everything.And i thank the people who donated this book.

Review: If your ready to read this review relax and get ready to soar beyond wisdom and beauty.Mattie J.T. Stepanek wrote a very inspireing book called Heartsongs. The author of this book did two things that I loved.First her phrases like"Its a smiley face day"or Teenagers shoes untied "sugar chewy munchy boomy" and childrens sandals"twinkle crinkle marshmellow sprinkle".And second the beauty of this book .The beauty is the pictures,the color,and the similaritie of the picture and poem. The reason why this book might be girly or chidly is because the author of this book is a 11 year old .He was diagnosed with a serious dease called Muscular Distrophy. He died when he was 13 years old.I recomend this book to people and kids that like beauty the beauty is the words,phrases,pictures and much more.

Review: I loved this book because it was an awesome book. I would say, it didn't hook me up, but as soon as I kept reading it, I started to love it. This book was about parenting style at the front, but not at all. The one of the main characters, Sukie, 6 years-old girl found out that her parents were saying weird stuff to them just like this: You're not allowed to p hand-paintings all over the walls, but you did, and your parent saw you and they supposed to say,"What are you doing? Get back to your room and you're grounded!" but what if they say,"Eat your vegetables." It would feel weird and unfamiliar.But as soon as Brian,Reed and Sukie started to spy on them, they find out why they were doing it. and I hope you'll find rest of the book. as long as you're interested in humorous or funny books, go on and find out what's going to happen.

Review: This is probally one of the best authors ever. Did you know he started writing this book at 12 and finished at 19 it took him 7 years to complete this book. I wonder how long it took him to complete his 2nd book, "Eldest". His book Eragon is about a boy that found a mysterious egg that led him on a big journey to the king. On the way there he had to face obstacles. Like he had to get over a river and get past the people called the Varden. They had to battle dwarves on the way to the king. He also had to get out of jail. After he got out of jail, his teacher who taught him all about his destiny dies, but another guy comes along and helps him learn more about his destiny. That's all i'm going to tell you so I don't tell you the whole story. Don't forget to read his next book, Eldest.

Review:  This book is a great adventure and is on my #1 favorite book list. I hope that many people will read this book because it's is basically like Peter Pan exept on a different base line. Captin Hook is also in the book and much meaner than the movie. The book is very suspensful and has a good ending that is very good. I think anybody who likes to read a good book that is fantast would enjoy this book! This book is very cute and very un-realistic but isn't scary at all. (Maybe a tiny-weenie bit!) But if you enjoy a novel or even a series, Read this book! If you've already read this book and wish for the next, it's called Peter and the Shawdow Thieves where Peter goes looking for Molly on an adventure. These books are action filled and Absolutely GREAT! Readers are Leaders!

One thing I don't like about it is that the lead could be better . I would suggest this book for everyone

Review:  This is a great book. It is about a girl that has a big sister that is so mean. Every time she gets in trouble, she says it was her little sister who did it. They go to a private school. That school is like a church because they have to give money to the school. Well one day Maxey,the big sister, steals the church money. She told her little sister that she only got 20 dollars. Her little sister did not believe her because there was 82 dollars in the safe. Her little sister thought she was doing something bad because one day after school she was looking for her but someone told her that she left early from school with her friend. When she got home she got in trouble because she didn't call home. Maxey said that she was in school looking for her little sister. I liked it because it reminds me of me and my sister.

Nobody really has their old friends.The only true friends are Jill,Tracy,and Rochelle.It is also funny because Jill,and Tracy get in trouble too many times.Kenny is very annoying because the only things he talks about are facts and facts.Jill and her mother have a strange deal.Jill will stop biting her nails and her mom will stop smoking.I think everybody should read this book.

The book is about a huntsman that is looking for a journey. He wants to find his fare maden.
