            Arf  is a great book with twists and turns and also many mysteries which is one of my favorite things about the book Arf is my all time favorite book because you think that there won’t be a happy ending but it ends up great. I liked the book because it had many different things that were all somehow related and things happen that you think could never happen. One part I would change is when Birdie had to lie to her mother so she could keep safe because it’s bad to lie to your mother and because she felt very bad about it. I would have solved the problem by kicking the bad guy and running away with Bowser. One JUICY word I would use to describe Arf is outstanding because so many different things happen that are solved in such great ways. The last thing I want to say about Arf is that I think this book is good for anyone, but I would mainly recommend this book to people who like dogs, mystery, and adventure.

The FIRST thing you have to know about Jedi Academy Return of The Padawan is that it is the second book of the Jedi Academy series so you MUST read the first one in order to read the second one. I didn’t like it, I loved it because it has a lot of action. I wouldn’t change any part of the book because that would probably ruin it because it is so amazing. I would solve the problem by seeing what’s up with Gaiana. If I can pick ONE JUICY WORD, I would pick mysterious because the whole entire book was mysterious. I’m recommending Jedi Academy Return of The Padawan to all Star Wars fans.

Timmy Failure Mistakes Were Made is about a boy who runs a detective agency. Timmy Failure has a pet polar bear named Total, and he is Timmy’s partner. Timmy’s best friend is Rollo Tookus and his Timmy’s enemy is Corina Corina.  I like Timmy Failure because I like  books that make me laugh. Timmy is always very busy trying to solve mysteries and getting into trouble, which  makes the book very interesting. The one part of the book  I would change is that the author uses very big vocabulary words.  I would solve this problem by using words that most kids would understand.  One word I would use  to describe this book is hysterical. If you want to laugh a lot, you must read Timmy Failure Mistakes Were Made!   Humorous,Historical,entertaining,Timmy Failure Mistakes Were Made,Stephan Pastis

Panda-Monium is about a Panda named Li Ping who is stolen from a trailer coming to FunJungle and Teddy Fitzroy must crack the case and find the very expensive panda. I liked Panda-Monium because it had mystery and you never want to stop reading it. I wouldn’t change anything because it is an amazing book. If I was a character in Panda-Monium, I would not have been able to solve the problem because the robbers did an amazing job. One juicy word that describes the book is unpredictable because you can’t predict anything. I recommend Panda-Monium to anyone who likes mystery because this book has a lot of mystery.

           The Stars of Summer is a beautifully writen book that I enjoyed a lot, which is also the sequel to All Four Stars. I liked this book because it has to do with secrets and involves  food, one of my favorite categories. If I could change one part of the book, I would change the romantic part at the restaurant because I don’t really enjoy romance. If I was Gladys, I would have solved the review problem by doing the first review that her editor e-mailed her and I would of ignored the second e-mail. If I could chose one juicy word to describe this book, I would choose the word risky because I think Gladys does a lot of risky things. I totally enjoyed The Stars of Summer and I recommend you read it.

If you like mystery books, you will absolutely love The Miserable Mill  because it is all about  mystery. I adore The Miserable Mill because it always leaves you on a cliffhanger when the chapter ends which makes me yearn to read more. If I were the author, I would change the place the Baudelaire children are heading because it had nothing to the with the series. If I were a character in the book, I would avoid going to the lumber mill and go to a safe place where the Baudelaires wouldn’t get hurt. If I had to pick one word to describe the book, it would be mysterious. So, if I were you, I would check out The Miserable Mill right away.

I loved The Wild Robot ; it is my favorite book I have ever read this story is about a robot who fell off a cargo ship and made a new life in the wild, he made family and friends. I loved The Wild Robot  because it is so adventurous and you don’t know what’s going to happen next. One part I would change is the sad part. If I was Brightbill, I would have solved the sad part by leaving the garden and going to the barn. If I could pick one juicy word to describe this book, it would be unpredictable because you don’t know what Roz will do next! If I was you, I would read The Wild Robot as the first book you read in Miss. Q ‘s class.

This Journal belongs to Ratchet is a spectacular book that everyone in the world should read. I LOVE this book because there is so many details and you never want to stop reading it. I would not change any part of the book because I think the author wrote it perfectly and if she changed any part the book, it would not be the same. If I were Ratchet, I would have solved the problem of her not having any friends by inviting some kids that lived near her, instead of waiting to make a friend. If I could pick one juicy word to describe this book, I would pick fantastic because when I finished the book all I could say was that this book was fantastic. If you love exciting books with a little bit of sadness, you should read This Journal Belongs to Ratchet an astonishing and wonderful book.

This Journal Belongs to Ratchet is an outstanding book for all ages. It is about a girl named Ratchet who’s dad is very unusual. Also, her mom passed away but there is more to the story that she wants to find out about. I loved this book because Ratchet never gave up on anything or anyone. If I were the author I would change absolutely nothing because she made it so interesting and I did not want to stop reading. If I was Ratchet, I would have solved the problem how she did because it was the right thing for her to do. If I could pick one juicy word to describe the book, it would be interesting because the book never stops getting good. I recommend This Journal Belongs to Ratchet to anyone who likes mystery and fascinating books.

         The Five Lives Of Our Cat  is about a girl named Oona who found a cat in the alley with an address, but Oona told a yellow whopper [type of lie that she made up] and said that he was a stray.  I  loved the book because there was a lot of cliff hangers, fascinating stories, and a little bit of mystery that makes you want to keep on reading,  there is fascinating stories,  and always has a little bit of mystery.  The only part of the book I would change is when it ends because it is so good.  If I was one of the  characters in the book, I would solve the problem of Dylan (the villian, but maybe only temporary) coming over by coming clean to my mom or listening to Dylan’s side of the story.  If I were to pick one juicy word for this book, it would be wondering because I am always curious when I am reading this book.  This book always gives you a prediction but then the oppisite happens. I would recommend Lives Of Our Cat The Five Zook to somone who likes a little bit of mystery and someone who likes to stay curious while reading.

The Reptile Room from the book series of A Series Of Unfortunate Events is a very mysterious and peculiar book.  I really liked the book because it has a lot of funny and mysterious things happening all the time.  If I were the author, I would change the part where Dr. Montgomery dies because he could help the kids figure out all the other mysteries in the book.  If I were a character in the book, I would have solved the problem by putting cameras all over the house.  If I hade to choose a JUICY WORD to describe this book, it would be perplexing because the book is very complicated and everything’s happening at one time.  I would recommend The Reptile Room to anyone who likes murder and mystery.

Rafe is at it again but in London the epic tale of Middle School continues. I liked Middle School From Hero to Zero  because it was in London. If I were Rafe, I would have made even more money so Rafe would have more money. If I could pick one juicy word, I would choose London because it’s where the book takes place. I would recommend Middle School From Hero to Zero to any one who liked the previous ones.

Emily Windsnap Sirens Secret is a magical and extraordinary book about merdmaids. I love it so much and I think that everyone should read it because it is very fascinating and you will always wonder what will happen next.  If I had the choice to change a part of the book, I would not change anything because the book is already so good.  If I was a character in the book, I would solve a problem by telling Neptune, in the first place, that there are lost sirens trapped in a waterfall.  If I would pick ONE JUICY WORD to describe the book, I would pick ADVENTUROUS because the book has so much adventure in it.  I totally think that everyone should read Emily Windsnap Sirens Secret and the rest of the books from the series because they are amazing.

            Cave Boy Dave is a funny and interesting book with lots of action.  It's about a boy that wants to be an inventor but then he becomes a hunter.  I like this book because it had the two things that I like comedy and action.    I would change his dad inventing the torch and make some thing that helps him in his hunting trip.  If I was Dave, I would off  killed the baby stabby cat so then he would of be helpful in the village.  If  I were to choose one word, it would be interesting because it’s well written.   hope you read Cave Boy Dave it is fantastic.

If you like thievery, mystery, and adventure  Loot is a must read for you.  I liked Loot because there was always something going on, either they were discussing an important matter, they were stealing a jewel, or talking to one of their many uncles. I would change nothing because the book had everything written the way I like it. I would have done the same thing March did because the idea he had worked. I would pick the word cursed because every time something awful happens it because of a curse.  So if you haven’t read Loot, go home to your parents and beg them to buy Loot.

              Do you want to know about The Reptile Room?  Well, let me tell you about it.  The Reptile Room is about these orphans called the Baudelaire orphans who lost their parents and had to move with Count Olaf.  I did not like the book; I loved it so much because it was stupidly funny and scary fun.  I would change that the Baudelaire orphans find a way to save someone they love and stick with Uncle Monty a lot more.  One amazing JUCIY word that I would choose is unforeseen because lots of things happen out of the blue.  After all the things I said, I really recommend The Reptile Room to anyone who loves mystery and spooky stuff.  (There is a Netflix show of this series.)

The Wild Robot Escapes is the second book in the series The Wild Robot so if I were you, I would read the first one. I liked the book because it had a new approach on Roz, the robot. While the first book was a lesson story, this one is a adventure story. If I were the author, I would not change a thing because the adventure is a fun mix of adventure and comedy, and I would not want to ruin that. If I were the kids, I would have kept the locator on the kids so it looked like Roz was working. If I could pick one juicy word, I would pick future farming because this book describes what the future of farming will be like. I would recommend The Wild Robot Escapes to everyone who liked the first book and to anyone who likes talking animals.

       In  Mr. Lemoncello’s Great Library Race Kyle is trying to win the library race but the devious Krinkle brother’s try to make Mr. Lemoncello look like a fraud by placing a fake board game in his library and it’s up to Kyle and his friends to stop the Krinkle brother’s and to win the race. I loved the book because it was full of mystery, action, adventure, and a lot of puzzles; it was the kind of book that kept me up all night reading because it was so exciting and fun. I wouldn’t change anything because it was perfect and it makes you imagine what the character can see and where they are. I would find the problem earlier so I could think of a plan to stop the Krinkle brother’s before they succeed. The juicy word I would pick would be exhilarating because it was really exciting and fun. Mr. Lemoncello’s Great Library Race is a great book to read because it will never make you bored and it will keep you excited. I recommend you read this book but first read Escape From Mr.lemoncellos Library and Mr.lemoncellos Library Olympics.

The Wild Robot Escapes is an amazing book about hope, family, sadness, joy, adventure,           trust, and friendship.  I loved this book because the characters have so many emotions, and out of all of the books that I have read, this one is the best. I would change nothing about the book because it is perfect just the way it is.  If I were a character in the book, I would have solved the problem the exact same way.   One word I would pick to describe the book is breath-taking because if you have read the book you would know why.  You should really read The Wild Robot Escapes because of all the adventure and mystery in it.

                Neil Flambe and The Tokyo Treasure is about a chef who hates mysteries but he always runs into them.  I loved this book because Neil was always thinking about what may or may not happen next.  I would change that Isabella gets shot in the arm because then you don’t now if she will live or not.  I would have tried to push Nori off the boat if I were Neil.  I would choose ADVENTUROUS because Neil and his friends are always trying to figure out something and Neil never gives up.  If you like cooking and mysteries, Neil Flambe and the Tokyo Treasure is the right book for you.

The Wild Robot is a really good book about a robot who accidentally ends up on a island. The robot is programmed to survive,but you will have to find out how she survives. I liked the book because it had a new story every chapter that taught a lesson. If I were the author, I would change the part where Roz loses her leg because if Roz did not lose her leg the adventure could have probably gone on for another few chapters. If I were Mr. Beaver, I would have added to the foot every day so that it became stronger and did not break off. If I could choose one juicy word, I would choose technology meets wilderness because it’s a story about Roz, the robot, surviving in the wilderness. I would recommend The Wild Robot to anyone who likes animals or robots.

Emily Windsnap and the Castle of the Mist  is about a girl named Emily who always wants a little bit of adventure with her best friend, Shona.I loved the book Emily Windsnap and the Castle of the Mist  because it was so detailed and you would never want to stop reading.I would not change anything about Emily Windsnap and the Castle of the Mist because if I did it would ruin the whole book.  If I was Emily, I would have done the same thing because if she did anything different she wouldn’t be a semi-mer.  If I could pick one word, it would be mysterious because you never know what will happen next.  I would recommend Emily Winsnap and the Castle of the Mist to anyone who likes a bit of adventure and mystery.

If you like action, gadgets, mystery, and mad scientists, you need to read NERDS.  I liked the book because the action never stopped (other than when they were being briefed on their missions or if they were in class). I wouldn’t change any thing in the book because NERDS always left you thinking what could happen next or I need to know if what happens next now.  If were Jason, I would have tried to win the other agents over by being nice (which is exactly what Jason did).  If I could pick one juicy word to describe the book, it would be action-packed because the book was stacked with action.  So, if you haven’t read NERDS, you need to run home to your mom and beg, or even cry, just get her to buy the book!
