I Survived The Battle Of Gettysburg is an awesome book for you to read. I loved this book because it was an interesting event that actually happened in history. I would change the part where the main character gets shot in the chest because it sounded to violent and it scared me. If I were Thomas, I would I solved the problem of being in the middle of a war by hiding. If I could chose one juicy word to describe this book, it would be horrifying because just the sound of hearing someone being shot scares me. I survived the battle of  Gettysburg is an astonishing book to read, just try it out!

Poached is a book about twelve-year-old Teddy Fitzroy being the main suspect when Fun Jungle's newly acquired koala goes missing: thanks to a prank staged by middle-school bully: Vance Jessup. The reason why I liked this book so much is because it is part of The Fun Jungle series and because it includes so much action and mystery. If I were Stuart Gibbs, I would change the part were Vance Jessup was a bully because then Teddy would not have to go through a truck-load of troble. If I were Teddy in this book, I would just said no when Vance forced me into placing fake body parts in the shark tank to scare the visitors. Even though Vance would have broken my arm, it would be worth  the pain. If I could pick ONE JUICY WORD to describe the book, it would be OUTSTANDING because everything is flawless… I mean the mystery, the blaming and the fake body parts! My final remarks about Poached is that this is a fabulous book; but DO NOT read this book, if you have not read the first Fun Jungle book: Belly Up!

 Wonder is about a boy named Auggie who was born with mandibulofacial  dysostosis which affects the facial tissue and your bones, and he was homeschooled.  After a few years, it was his first time being in a school and he had to face many challenges like getting bullied. I liked the book cause it gave me information that I did not know before like I did not know what mandibulofacial dysostosis before I read this book. If I were the author, I would change the part where Auggie gets bullied by his friend behind his back. I would change this part because I know I don’t like when my friends talk behind my back. If I were a charater in the book, I would have sovled the promblem by being friends with Auggie. If I could pick one juicy word to describe the book,  it would be unique because I have never read a book like it before. If you like reading and adventurous, Wonder is the book for you!

        Big Game is the third book of the FunJungle Series and it has action, drama, and adventure all in one book! I enjoyed reading it because it has nail biting cliff-hangers! If I could change one part of the book, I would change the part the elephants were loose because they destroyed  A LOT of stores! If I was Teddy in the book, I would’ve investigated the Rhino keeper. If I could choose one word to describe the book, I would choose nail biting because in this book you can’t wait to see happens next! I really enjoyed reading Big Game, and I hope I convinced you to read it, too!

Pandamonium is a fantastic book to read just, try it! I loved this book because I love pandas and animals. If I could change a part of the book, it would be when you find out Li Ping is missing because that made me sad. I would have solved the problem of Li Ping missing by going to the wild animal collector and checking if she had Li Ping. If I could choose one juicy word to describe this book, it would be fantastic because this book was so amazing in many ways!  Hopefully, you are now interested in reading the book, Pandamnium.

         Panda-monium is one of the best books from the FunJungle series! I loved the book because it had a panda in it! The panda went missing but Teddy solved the mystery. If I was Stuart Gibbs, I would change the part the kidnappers send Li Ping’s claw to J.J McCraken. I felt so bad for Li Ping. If I was Teddy, I would’ve suspected even the nice guys like the Rhino keeper or maybe even Large Marge. If I could pick one word to describe the book, I would choose emotional. It was really emotinal because J.J got his Panda back. I think Panda-monium was a great book, and I hope Stuart Gibbs makes more books about pandas!

         Lion Down is a great book, and it is the last of the FunJungle series (currently)! It has awesome cliff-hangers, and it contains action and drama! I liked the book because Teddy and Summer help a mountain lion get it’s freedom. If I could change a part of the book, I would’ve changed the part Teddy goes down a huge river because that would’ve been scary. If I was Teddy in Lion Down, I would’ve tried to be friendly with the mountain lion and I would try to hide her. If I could choose one word to describe this book, I would choose action. The series itself is addicting and the book has A LOT of cliff-hangers! I think Lion Down was a great book, and I’m excited about what Stuart Gibbs is going to make next!

     Belly Up is one of the best books ever! The series is super addicting! I liked the book because it’s mysterious and it has a lot of cliff-hangers. If I was the author I would change the part Summer and Teddy went into the Hippo River because that was just gross. If I was Teddy Fitzroy, I would’ve made a list of suspects, like Large Marge, Martin, and some other suspicious people. If I could pick one word to describe this book I would choose addicting because it has awesome cliff-hangers! Belly up is a great book and I recommend it to anyone looking for a good read!

     Spy Camp is an amazing book because it contains action and gives you high hopes about summer camp! Spy Camp was one of my favorite books, because first of all, I enjoy the Spy School Series. Second, it is one of the best in the series! If I was Ben Ripley in Spy Camp, I would’ve escaped Spy Camp to go back home to my parents, because I wouldn’t want to be away from them for 2 to 4 months. If I was Ben, I would’ve guessed the place the bomb was hidden. If I could pick one word to describe this book, I would choose amazing because it has a lot of cool stuff, like thwarting the enemy by pulling a plug. I think Spy Camp is an amazing book and I recommend it to whoever is looking for a good read!

Spy Camp is an astonishing book for every one. I though this book was good, but the the first one was better because it had more action. If I could change one part of the book, it would be when the bus is turned over and Ben has to jump into a river because that sounded so so scary to me. If I were Ben, I would have solved the problem of Murray capturing me by hiding in places he would never find me. Jump on him, and pin him to the ground. If I could choose one juicy word to describe the book, it would be inspiring because it inspired me and my friend to maybe write a book in the future. Spy Camp is an awesome book for you, just read and find out!

# AR points:    2.0                               RL: 4.3
            If you are searching for a mysterious book, or if you are just finishing the series, Encyclopedia brown is the book for you! I liked the book because the series is mysterious and you have a chance to solve the mysteries yourself too! If I were the author, I would change how there are only ten mysteries in a book. Instead I would have 15, or maybe 20! If I were a character in the book, I would be Fang. I would solve the problem with Melvin by sharing a tent with Melvin so that Fangs could watch what he had been doing before the contest. If I could pick a word to describe this book, I would pick mysterious because it is a mysterious book. I hope you are considering reading Encyclopedia Brown.

                                If you like mysteries, Encyclopedia Brown is the book for you! Not only does is have amazing cases, but you can solve the cases yourself too! I love all the Encyclopedia Brown series because it is very exciting to know how  exactly Leroy ( A.K.A Encyclopedia ) solves all his amazing cases!  If I could change one thing in the book, it would be to have a lot more mysteries. If I were Leroy, I would open an office for him to solve cases, instead of solving them in his garage. If I could pick one word to describe the book, I would pick intelligent, because Leroy is a very clever boy. I hope that you are considering to read Encyclopedia Brown because, it is truly a good book!

       Are you tired of never finding a good series? Well, MiNRS3 is the perfect book for you! It is the third book in the MiNRS series and in my opinion; it’s one of the best. I loved the book because it has aweseome cliff-hangers, and it contains action and drama. If I was Kevin Sylvester, I would change the part when one of the main characters in the book die, because he was in general a good guy. If I was the main character in the book, I would try to speak to the Oracle before the blackout happened it would’ve made everything so much easier and saved a lot of lives. One awesome word to describe the book is dramatic because MiNRS is one of the best books ever. Also I hope Kevin Sylvested writes a sequel!

Pie is about a girl called Alice and her aunt’s famous pie crust recipe  that was left  to her cat. It is personally my favorite book that I have read so far because it has you guessing and making you want to read more to see what happens next. If I had to change one part of the book it would be went the aunt dies because I feel sympathy for Alice. If I was one of the characters in the book, I would just make as good as pie crust as Alice’s  aunt . If I had to chose one JUICY word it would be mysterious,  because  it has so many adventures in the book and so many mysteries.  If you are into reading, adventures, and baking then Pie is for you .

       Spy School Goes South is one of my favorite books from Stuart Gibbs! It contains AWESOME cliff hangers, action, and dramatic scenes! The book was amazing, and it is one of the best from the Spy School Series. I like it because the spies in-training go to a different country. If I could change one part of the book, I would change the part the spies in-training expose the gun dealer in the bathroom. If I was Ben Ripely in Spy School, I would’ve broken into Joshua’s room much earlier because he wouldn’t have to been pressured. One great word to describe this book would be dramatic because the book is filled with it! Spy School Goes South is one of the best books ever! I’m excited about what Stuart Gibbs is going to make next!

The book was awesome, and I like it better then the first one because they fight back more and they show a lot of courage and bravery. If I could change one part of the book, I would change all the parts that Darcy was sad, she was so young and didn’t deserve what happened. If I was in Chis’s shoes, I would’ve tried to fight back to Earth way earlier. One great word to describe this book would be action-packed because the book is filled with it! MiNRS2 is one of the best books ever! I’m excited what Kevin Sylvester is going to make next!

Diego's book review for Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix

Title of Book: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Author of Book: J.K. Rolling
# of pages: 870
# AR points:    44.0                 RL: 7.2
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is a great book for readers who like reading Harry Potter because it is the longest Harry Potter book so it can keep you busy for a while. I am going to tell you a quick summary now. (SPOILER ALERT!) Harry nearly gets a girlfriend but fails. Harry and Cho are still sad about Cedric dying. Ron and Hermoine constantly get into fights. Luckily, there are also happy things like when George and Fred do their amazing escape and when Harry lets Ron join the quidditch team as a keeper. Ginny also joins. Sadly, the dreadful Professor Umbridge confiscates Harry’s broom halfway through the quidditch season. Read the book to find out more! I loved the book because it is very exciting and action packed. I would change when Harry breaks up with Cho if I was the author because I want to know what would happen if they became very close. If I was Harry, the way I would solve the problem of breaking up is by telling Cho that he really didn’t want to go to Hermione and ask if she could come to make it better. If I could pick one juicy word to describe the book, I would chose flirtation because the book is like a love story.I highly recommend to read Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix because it will brighten your day if you are having a rough time.

Waste Of Space is a wonderful book for anyone because it is amazing. I loved this book because it is full of mysterious action. If I could change a part of the book, I would change that the series didn’t have to end. If I were Dashiell, I would have solved the problem of Lars being poisoned by checking every single security camera on the base. One juicy word to describe this book is annoying because it leaves you on so so many mysteries! Waste of Space is an amazing book for you, just read and find out!

Spaced Out is a wonderful book for older children to read because it has action. I thought this book was amazing because it was full of action and details! If I could change a part of the book, I would change the part where it says Nina’s hair looked like a rat’s nest. If I were Dashiell, I would have solved the  problem of Nina missing by looking under the base or trying to find a secret place to search. If I could choose one juicy word for this book, it would be mysterious. I think this book is full of mysteries. Spaced Out is a wonderful book to read especially if you like action.

The Baby Sitters Club  is a wonderful  book to read,  I wish I could tell you the sad part but no I won’t! I liked it because there was a lot of drama and action. I would change the part when Janine and Claudia start arguing  because Claudia does not want to do math. Their parents  say  that Janine is better than her at math just because Janine gets good grades, and study's a lot.  I would tell Janine that I hate math and I want to color! In the Baby sitters club  a juicy word I found was psychologically.You might want to read          Baby sitters club because it is amazing  and  dramatic.

        In Belly Up there are many exciting stories and mysteries, and if you like mysteries then this is the book for you.  I really liked this book because its full of adventure and excitement.   If I were the author I would change the part where Teddy finds a shoe print outside his trailer and change it to Teddy getting kidnapped by Buck because it would make the book more exciting and there would be a lot more mystery.  If I was a character in this book, I would solve the problem where the Mamba gets out of the cage and then I would catch the Mamba instead of being scared.  A word that is super juicy and describes this book is extraordinary, I would choose this word because I think this book is fantastic and it is the best book I have ever read in my whole life.  I recommend Belly Up to everyone that reads my book review and every one in the whole world.
