Skylar's Macarons at Midnight Book Blog Review


Name of Reviewer:  Skylar
Title of Book:  Macarons at Midnight
Author of Book:  Suzanne Nelson
# of pages:  237
# AR points:    7                                  RL:  4.5 MG+


            Macarons at Midnight is a story about a girl named Lise and her parents are divorced.  Her mom went to Switzerland so she had to live with her dad and Stepmom, Gail, and their daughter, Destry.  She meets a guy at a French bakery called Spoonful of Sugar,  but in the meantime she is having problems with her family.  Will you find out if the boy likes her to?  I absolutely loved this book because it had so much detail and I felt like I was right there standing next to the characters.  If I were the author, I would change the stepsister’s name.   If I were a character in the book ( Lise ), I would tell the boy I met the truth about being the person he met at Spoonful of Sugar. If I were to pick one juicy word to describe Macarons at Midnight, it would be LOVE because there is so much love in this book!  One more thing, in the back of this book you will find 3 different macaron recipes! I truly and honestly recommend Macarons at Midnight to YOU!

Sophie's book review on Love That Dog


Name of Reviewer: Sophia
Title of Book: Love That Dog
Author of Book: Sharon Creech

Book is found in Miss Q’s Library

            “Love That Dog” is a book about a boy named Jack who says poetry is for girls only. And when his teacher reads him more poems, he starts to like poetry and evolving more and more. I liked this book because once in a while you had to go to the back of the book to read real poems made by real authors. I would change nothing because the book is already outstanding. If I were one of the characters in the book, I would be Jack because I would not let my dog go play in the street. If I had to pick one juicy word I would pick cliffhanger because it has so many cliffhanger. “ Love That Dog” is waiting for you to read it.            

Anna`s Love That Dog Book Review

Book is found in Miss Q’s Library
 “ Love That Dog” is Miss Q`s favorite book. It is about a boy, Jack who hates writing poetry and evloves into a good boy. I liked “Love That Dog” because you learn that you can like something that you don’t like and it can become your favorite thing to do. In Jack`s case, it is writing poetry. If I could change a part in this book I wouldn’t change anything because Sharon Creech wrote this book so well that there is no way I could top it. If I were the character in this book, I would solve the problem exactly like Jack did. If I could pick a juciy word to describe “ Love That Dog” it would be encouraging because if Jack can do it so can you . I would recommend “Love That Dog” to you because you will learn about poetry and how to evolve.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Book is found in Miss Q’s Library

           Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a fantastic novel about a boy who explores a chamber and has an annoying teacher for dark arts. Also, Harry Potter discovers secrets, dark secrets. There is drama, magic, and mystery. And most of all a battle that will change Harry`s life forever. If I really wanted to pick a juicy word for this book, it would be aggression. I`m recommending Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets to you because it had me on the edge of my seat when Harry was in battles and discovered hidden secrets.

         Dragon of the Red Dawn is about Jack and Annie go on a mission to discover one of the four secrets of happiness which will help Merlin who is sick.  They use a book called A Journey to Old Japan given to them by Merlin's helpers Teddy and Kathleen.  I liked the book because every chapter ended on a cliffhanger would change its name because it does not relate to the book. I would of used the wand off dianthus to set out the fire.A juicy word to describe this book is adventures.  I recommenced this book to you because if you are into adventures this is a perfect book to read.

Harrison's Book Blog on Double Down

“Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Double Down” is one of the best books I have ever read because it is very humorous!  I really like this book because of the characters personality!  I would not change this book at all because of its appeal to readers who love funny books!  If I was the Greg Heffley,  I would be even more sneaky and I would play basketball ( because it is my favorite sport! )  If I can pick one juicy word to describe the book, it would be amusing because it is very funny.  I recommend “Double Down” for people who just love a laugh!
