            Warning!!!  The following  summary of Treasure Hunters Peril at the Top of the World is a awesome book (best book of the series). I liked the book because I love adventure and mysterious books . If I had to change one part of the story, it would be when their dad left and when  he came back. If I were a character, I would solve the problem by being their dog so that I could get all the information they needed to get back their dad. If I had to pick the best word for this book, it would be mysterious because you would never know what might happen next.  I guarantee you will love Treasure Hunters Peril at the Top of the World because it will give you a laugh and, you will learn about these Kidds’ hysterical life.

 If you like mystery & adventure, then The Worst Night Ever is the book for you.  The Worst Night Ever  is about two kids named Matt and Wyatt. I liked this book because adventure and mystery are what entertain me and what kept me reading The Worst Night Ever. If I was a character in the book, I would have solved the problem by not telling the police that the main characters Matt and Wyatt robbed a man’s house to get back a ferret. If I were to pick one juicy word for this book it would be MARVELOUS because of its detail and great illustrations. I hope you go to a local book store or online to order The Worst Night Ever because it is truly amazing.

In Neil Flambé and the Crusader’s Curse, Neil Flambé and his partner Larry Flambé have been working hard on mysteries, but this crusader mystery is really stumping them with all these clues. Some clues don’t even make sense! Neil and Larry don’t know what to do and time is ticking. I liked Neil Flambé and the Crusader’s Curse because I never could tell what was going to happen next. If I was the author, I wouldn’t change anything from this book because Kevin Sylvester wrote it perfectly. If I was a character in the book, I would of just done what Neil did but a little bit earlier in the book. If I could pick one word to describe Neil Flambé and the Crusader’s Curse, it would be unpredictable because I could not predict that the book would go down like that. Neil Flambés career could go up in flames or succeed and rise to the top? Read Neil Flambé and the Crusaders Curse to find out.

Fudge has an obsession with money in the book Double Fudge.  He’s drawing money signs at breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even in the car. He has his own money called “Fudge Bucks” and thinks you just make and draw your own money to become rich. I liked Double Fudge  because they go to Washington D.C. and go see the museum where they make money and at the end of the tour they meet their long lost relatives Howie.  If I was the author of the book Double Fudge,  I would change the part when Uncle Feather crashes into the window because that’s sad and he could have broken a bone in his wing. If I were a character in the book, I would have solved the problem by telling Mini Farley to step away from the cage so Uncle Feather would not fly out. If I could pick one word to describe this book, it would be chaos for the main character Peter theirs a lot of things going on. If you love Judy Blume books, I recommend you read Double Fudge .

If you are interested in adventure and robots, Ungifted is the book for you. Ungifted is a marvelous book about a kid that pranks his school and it turns out being the best thing that ever happened to him. I loved the book because he is full of  adventure and he has a plan to fool smart kids that he is smarter. I would change the part when Donavon (main character) bumps a part of a statue to bumping a part of wire in the gymnasium. If I was Donavon, I would not be chasing the part of the statue and I would have stayed and not gotten in trouble.  One juicy word to describe the book would be secret because he has to keep a secret until the end of the year. Gordan Korman is my favorite book author and I hope he is yours too. I really hope you read “Ungifted”, it is my favorite and I bet it will be yours to.

The Horse and His Boy is a very enjoyable book. I like The Horse and His boy because I like adventure and excitement. There is one thing I would like to change about the book: Bree and Hwin  should have gotten married like Shasta and Avaris. The problem in the book is that a man named Rabadash is trying to conquer Narnia and I would solve that problem by getting Aslan of course (Aslan is the one who made all the talking animals like Bree and Hwin). A juicy word to describe  the book is excitable because every turn of a page it is an adventure, and when you finish it you are going to want more! So, I suggest if you read The Horse and His Boy  and like it, you should read the rest of the series!

              In Catch That Pass, there was a boy called Jim who could be a quick and  strong linebacker who had good hands but there’s one problem: he was afraid of being tackled.  His teammates are disgusted at him and his older brother, the coach, is disappointed. I loved the book because it was exciting and most chapters end on cliff hangers. I would change Catch That Pass and I would call it  Will He Make It . To solve the problem, I  would go to camps and have private lessons for football. If I could use one word to describe the book, I would use enticing because there is a lot of action. If you like football, I recommend Catch That Pass.

            Peter and the Sword of Mercy  takes place in the year 1902, where Peter, the young boy who could fly, got a surprise visit from Wendy, the daughter of a former starcatcher. I loved this book so much because it is full of adventure and a wonderful final book to the series. If I were the author, I would not change any part of this book because it was written exceedingly well.  If I were a character in the book, I would have solved the problem the same way Peter did because he had such a great idea. If I were to find one juicy word to describe this book, it would be alluring because the pages of this book stick to your fingers, and you would not be able to stop reading.  I recommend this Peter and the Sword of Mercy  for those who would like to know the true story of Peter Pan. But, I insist you read the first 3 books in the series, which are all very enticing.

 

A Long Way Home

Blog Book Review

Title of Book: A Long Way Home

Author of Book:  Saroo Brierley

# of pages: 288

At only 5 years old, Saroo Brierly got lost on a train in India, and now he is searching for his family on Google Earth. I loved A Long Way Home because it was a combination of action and a biography and biographies are not usually this intresting. If I was the author, I would leave the book just how it is because it was a perfect and nobody would read it if I changed it. If I were Saroo, I do not think I could solve the problem because my brain does not work as well as his. If I could describe the book in one word, it would be journey to represent Saroo’s journey. I would recommend A Long Way Home to anyone who likes biographies and action.

Lost in Ireland is a very good book to read for people who like adventures. I don’t like this book; I love it.  A girl named Meghan McGlinchey receives a good luck chain letter. If she wants to have good luck for the rest of her life, she has to send a letter to 3 other people but instead she emailed it. I would not change anything about this book because it’s so good and I love all the things the author wrote. If I were a character in the book, I would have done the same thing that Meghan did because it is  a great way to solve the problem and by doing it the correct way gave her an oppurtunity to make it fun. If I could pick one juicy word to describe the book, it would be adventure because that is what the book is all about. I recommend Lost In Ireland to people who take risks and love adventures.

            The book PLAYING CUPID  is an amazing book I think you all will love. I liked this book because it was very heart warming. It is about Clara Martinez who loves to make love matches at the mall. Once she sees two people she thinks will hit it off, she asks three questions and “BAM!” they are a couple. I would not change one part of this book because it is perfect. She finds her friend is struggling to be popular so she tries to put her with a popular boy. I would have solved this problem of trying to keep my friend popular by not caring if my friend is popular or not. I would only care that we would still be friends with them. One juicy word I would use is lovely; I think it fits this story wonderfully. If you like books about romance, surprise  and excitement, then PLAYING CUPID  is the book for you.

                InThe Reptile Room, the Baudelaire children go through a seires of unfortunate events. I like the book because the children were very smart. Violet liked to build things, Sunny liked to bite things with her sharp teeth, and Klaus liked to read books. One thing I would change in the story is that the children never have the bad events that happen like them having to live with Count Olaf. I would solve the problem by proving that Count Olaf was a bad person and then they wouldn’t have to live with him. If I could pick one juicy word to describe the book, I would pick unpleasant because most of the story bad events happen. If you do not like books about horrible things happening, you shouldn’t read The Reptile Room.

The moment I read the first sentence, I couldn’t put The War That Saved My Life  down until I finished reading the last sentence. I like this book because it was filled with action and drama.  If I wrote this astounding book, I wouldn’t change a word. If I were the main character, ten-year-old Ada, I would have also run away from her mam (mom), which does happen in the book. I would do this because her mam keeps her in her room with a bucket. Her mam does this because Ada has a hideous clubfoot; well, at least that’s what her mam says. Once she runs away, Ada and her brother become evacuees and it gets much more exciting by the second! Now, that they ran away during the war they have become evacuees. One JUICY word to describe The War That Saved My Life is flabbergasting and an addicting book because I really couldn’t stop reading! I can’t wait for the sequel, The War I Finally Won. Will her mam come and get her back or will she stay with the nicest caretaker, Miss Smith? Read The War That Saved My Life  to find out...

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the second book of the Harry Potter series, involves magic and mystery in the best way. The valiant Harry Potter is the main character, along with his friends Ronald (Ron) Weasley and Hermione Granger. Danger lurks around Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and Harry has to act because if he doesn’t, things could get really serious and dangerous. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets was very enjoyable and I simply adored it. The fact that I love mystery stories really helped me enjoy the book, but I think anyone would like it. I think Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets can’t be changed in anyway, because if somebody changed it, the mystery could be taken away. If I was a character from the book and had to solve the problem that children were turning in to stone, I would have tried to pay attention, very careful attention, to the things around me. I would do research and ask people questions to help me find out the answer. A little similar to what Harry Potter did. If I had to pick one word to describe Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets, it would be thriller because the book is very mysterious and exciting all at the same time. Overall, I really enjoyed reading the incredible Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and really recommend it to ages eight up.

                Amanda and Leo have been friends since they were babies and celebrated all their birthdays together but Leo says some mean words that Amanda overhears on their 10^th  birthday.  I really enjoyed 11 Birthdays  because it was full of adventure and whenever I turned the page there was a new problem.  I would not change anything about this book  because I love all the twists and by changing something it would ruin one of the twists. If I were a character in 11 Birthdays, I would solve the problem the same way because there is no other way to solve it. One juicy word to describe the book would be MAGIC because they are repeating their birthday because of magic.  I could not put 11 Birthdays down because every time I turned the page I would want to read more!
