Xavier Blanchard Book Blog Review On Jedi Academy The Force Oversleeps


Name of Reviewer:  Xavier
Title of Book:  Jedi Academy The Force Oversleeps
Author of Book:  Jarrett J. Krosoczka
# of pages: 175
# AR points:  2.0                                          RL: 4.0


If you like Star Wars and adventure, you will want to read Jedi Academy which is about Victor, is the main character (Hint, Hint).  I like the book because it’s about Star Wars.  Who doesn’t like Star Wars?  I wouldn’t change anything in the book because it’s so amazing.  If I was Victor I would have woken up earlier then he did. If I could pick one juicy word, it would be sleepy because Victor always oversleeps.  I recommend The Force Oversleeps, to all Star Wars fans.

Sebastian's blog review

Title of Book:  Word Of Mouse
Author of Book:  James Patterson

# of pages: 284
# AR points:  5                                               RL:   4.5
Word Of Mouse
Word Of Mouse is about a mouse that meets a human and tries to save the mouses family. Word Of Mouse was a great book and I loved it because I never thought a cowardly mouse would try to save his family. I would not change anything because the cowardly mouse is the one that saved everybody and it makes a lot of sense. If I was a character, I would have tried to save my family right away. A juicy word about the book would be brave because the mouse likes someone and risks his life for her favorite food. Word Of Mouse is a great book if you like mice and bravery.

Book is found in Miss Q’s Library
In I Survived the American Revolution, Nate’s father was a ship captain and  died 2 years ago in a storm. Nate now lives with his Uncle Storch.  I liked the book a lot because I like action books. They make me want  to find out more and more about the story. I would not change any part of the book, because it is the best book I have ever read.   I would solve the problem of  Samuel getting shot by the Hessians  and I would rush  him to the fort and help  him out.  If I were to pick one juicy word, I would pick  clever  because Samuel is very clever.  I recommend I Survived the American Revolution if you love action and excitement.

Raymie Nightingale is a very interesting book about  a girl that has a big problem that will make you want to read more. I liked the book because you will never know what will happen next and has a super surprising ending.  I would not change a thing in the book because if I did I would not  have made it nearly as amazing as Kate Dicamillo.  If I was a character in the book, I would have solved the  problem just like Raymie because I thought her plan was really clever.  One juicy word to describe this book would be intelligent because that is exacly the word that describes the main character in the book ( Raymie ).   I recommend that you read Raymie Nightingale because it’s a magnificent book.

Author of Book:  Tara Dairman
# of pages:  273
# AR points: 9                                    RL: 6.0
Book is found in Miss Q’s Library



All Four Stars is about a little girl who loves to bake [and is amazing at it,] but when her parents find out that she was baking, they banned her from it.  I loved the book because there was always so much going on at the same time that I could never stop reading it.  There is not one thing I would change from this book because it is outstanding the way it is written.  If I was Gladys, I would solve the problem of getting to Classy Cakes by convincing Charissa to go there after the show for her birthday.  If I could pick one juicy word to describe All Four Stars it would be risky because Gladys always has to take a risk to get where she wants to go.  I would recommend All Four Stars to somebody who has a passion for baking just like Glady.

Pugs Of The Frozen North is a fantastic book and I loved the book so much. I loved this book because it was filled with suprises. I would have changed nothing because Pillip Reeve wrote this book so well. If I had to solve the problem, I would buy stronger dogs to get to the top of the world. If I had to pick one juicy word, it would be mindblowing because of the adventure Sika and Shen had to go through. I loved Pugs Of The Frozen North and I hope you do too.

Title of Book: Dog man

# AR points: 1                                      RL: 2.6
Book is found in Miss Q’s Library

Dog Man is a crime fighting dog that always has a plan to save the city in Dog Man.  I liked Dog Man because of the funny events and because the flip-o-rama is a good idea.  If I were the author, I would write it with better vocabulary words because you can’t understand some words.  If I was Dog Man I would use his dog nose to sovle the problem .  One good describeing word is action because Dog Man fights a lot of crime.  If you like action ,suspense ,and laffs, Dog Man is good for you.

# AR points: 6.0                                              RL: 4.2


The book Ellie’s Story is a heart-warming extraordinary book that I totally think you should read.  I love the book Ellie’s Story so much because it is amazing, and you are always wondering what will happen next.  If I was the author of the book Ellie’s Story, I would not change anything from the book because its already amazing and if you change something it would just ruin the book.  If I was a character in the book, I would have solved a problem by calling for back- up right away and waiting until they got there.  If I were to pick one JUICY WORD to describe the book, it would be heart-warming because the book makes the reader feel good.  If you like dogs and happy endings, I recommend the book Ellie’s Story to you.

Title of Book: Prisoner B-3087

Author of Book: Alan Gratz

# of pages: 260

# AR points: 7.0                                          RL: 4.9


Prisoner B-3087 is about a kid who is trying to work hard to get out of all the death camps in Germany and Poland because the Nazis have invaded.  This book is marvelous and I liked it because Yanek (the kid) survives all the death camps he has lived in.  I would not change anything about the book and even if I wanted to I can’t because the book is based on a true story.  If I was Yanek, I would solve the problem by running away into the city where the Nazis wouldn’t know he was a Jew.  If I could pick one juicy word to describe the the book, it would be BOGGLE because it is hard to imagine that all these horrible things could happen to a kid.  If you like war books, I would recommend this book to you because Prisoner B-3087 is all about war.

Who is George Lucas is a very interesting book about George Lucas and his life. It has very interesting facts about George Lucas. I liked Who is George Lucas because it explains about George Lucas life and and how he became such a fantastic film maker. I would change nothing about the book because the author wrote it perfectly . I would have solved all of George’s problems just like George did because he would have talked the people into doing what he wanted them to do.  One juicy word I would pick to describe the book is interesting because it has all these interesting facts about George Lucas. You should really read Who is George Lucas ;it is amazing.

Title of Book: Hunter Crispan & Lhe Little Brother of War
Author of Book: K.M. Topping
# of pages: 266
Book is found in Miss Q’s Library

 Hunter Crispian & The Little Brother of War a fascinating book about lacrosse and Native Americans this book is packed with adventure, action, and fun. I would change NOTHING at all about Hunter Crispian because every word in the book was perfect. When you think something is going to happen for sure the book goes the other way. You never ever know what is happening next in Hunter Crispian. If I was a character in the book, I would have run away before the boat left and gone to the moive with Heather. If I could pick one juicy word to describe the book, it would be distinct because I have looked for a while for a really good book. I have read some amazing books but no book has ever touched me quite like this book. I would recommend this Hunter Crispian & the little brother of war to everybody that likes action, adventure, or lacross!!

Mia's book blog review on Dork Diaries


Name of Reviewer: Mia
Title of Book: Dork Diaries, Tales From A Not-So-Smart-Miss Know-It-All
Author of Book: Rachel Renée Russell
# of pages: 321
# AR points: 4 points                                     RL: 4.7

Dork Diaries is an awesome book! Once you start reading, you can‘t stop! It is about a girl named Nikki and there is a lot of things going on in her life right now. I loved the book because it is perfect for me because it has more than one problem going on and I don‘t like a boring book. If I were the author, I would not change a thing because she wrote it perfectly and it’s very interesting. If I were the character in the book, the only thing I would change is that Nikki should have solved the problem with Mackenzie ( the mean girl ) at the beginning of the book. If I pick one juicy word to describe the book, it would be unstoppable because the problems never stop. Dork Diaries will keep you on your seat the entire time; it was written perfectly. I love the book and I hope you like it too!

Percy Jackson The Titan's Curse

If you like adventure, mystery, and drama you need to read the Percy Jackson The Titans Curse which is about a boy that is a half blood.  I liked this book because I like mystery, adventure and when I read this book it thought it was the best Percy Jackson book so far and one heck of a thrill ride. If I had to change the book, I would change nothing because Rick Riordan wrote the book so perfectly.  If I was Percy, I would have solved the problem the same way Percy did (I would tell you the problem but that would be a major spoiler alert).  If I had to pick one juicy word to describe the book, it would be uncertainty because in the book no one was ever certain of anything.  So, if you like adventure and mystery, you need to read Percy Jackson The Titans Curse.

Wish is a wonderful book because  you would think something would happen  a whole different thing happened.  I loved the book Wish  because you never knew what would happen next.  If I was the the author and I had to change something in the book ,I would  not change anything because it was written so perfectly .  If I were Charlie and I had to solve the problem ,I would just be thankful for what I have.  One juicy word I would pick breathtaking because the book takes your breath away.  I thought Wish was a amazing book because of the characters and the plot.

Title of Book: Wonder
Author of Book: R.J Palacio
# of pages:  314
# AR points: 11                                    RL: 4.8
                The book Wonder is about August, a deformed boy, going to school for the first time and he is nervous.  I loved Wonder because he is a nervous wreck and he doesn’t have that many friends.  He is trying to be looked at like he is a normal kid, can he do it? Read to find out.  If I was the author, I wouldn’t change anything because R.J Palacio made the book perfectly.  If I was August, I would have done exactly the same thing that he did to solve the problem because he did it almost perfectly.  The juicy word I would pick would be inspiring because the book Wonder inspired me to become a better person.  I would recommend this book to people all ages because you will learn a few lessons and how hard life is for people like August.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid the Getaway is a hilarious and amazing book that I could not STOP reading and it was about a boy named Greg and his family and their going to Isla de Corales liked the book because it was hilarious and it explained everything so well.  If I was the author, I would change the part were Rodrick gets sun burned because I think that was just an add on part.  If I was a character in the book, I would have fixed the problems just like the Heffley family did.  If I had to pick one word to describe the book, I would pick remarkable because overall the book has everything a good book needs.  I would recommend Diary of a Wimpy Kid the Getaway if you like hilarious, fun, and spectacular books.

            Do you like adventure stories?  If you do, you will absolutely love  Abby in Wonderland.   I adored this book because if you read one chapter, you will be anxious to read the next chapter.  I really wouldn’t change anything in the book; it was planned out wonderfully about the Fake Rabbit and the Queen of Hearts.  If I was a character in the book I would not have eaten the Queen of Heart’s tarts because I would get in terrible trouble.  If I had to describe this book, I would say it was marvelous because it was intimidating and you would always want to read it.  Everyone in the world needs to read Abby in Wonderland.

Pugs of the Frozen North is the best book I ever read.  If you like dogs and racing this is the book for you.   It will really make you laugh and It is the best book you will read; I guarantee it.   I didn’t like the book; I loved it because it was so adventureous and awesome.  I would change nothing about the book because it would not be the same if Philip Reeve didn’t write it.  I would solve the problem by doing the exact same but a little more braver (no offense).  If I could pick one word to descibe Pugs Of The Frozen North it would be breathtaking because when I was reading it I thought I was in the book and I realized I was in school.  So, if this sounds intresting go out there and buy it.  Everything I said about Pugs Of The Frozen North is not a lie you won’t be able to stop reading.

 If you like Roller Derby, action, drama, and stories about friendship, check out Roller Girl.  I liked Roller Girl  because it had a lot of twists and turns throughout the book.   I  think  Astrid did the right thing because Nicole was being a terrible person.   If I was Astrid, I would have told Nicole that she was being very mean and they had to work it out.  One juicy word to describe Roller Girl  is spectacular because there are so many things going on in Astrid’s life at the same time.   If you liked this Roller Girl and are looking for a great book buy it in the link above.

In Diary Of A Wimpy Kid The Getaway, Greg and his family are going to Isla de Corals. What happens at Isla de Corals? Read the book to find out. I liked this book because I like the funny things that happen at Isla de Corals. If I were the author, I would not change any part of the book because if I changed the beginning of the book, I would ruin the end. If I were Greg when he saw the family with the BABY, I would have switched seats with Rodrick. If I could pick one juicy word to describe the book, I would choose hilarious because Diary of a Wimpy Kid The Getaway is makes my laugh out load. I really recommend reading Diary Of A Wimpy Kid The Getaway especially if you are looking for a good laugh.
