The Capybara Conspiracy is a  book about these kids who want to steal the mascot Capy Capybara from their school which leads to a lot of action.  The Capybara Conspiracy is one of my favorite books.  Because it's funny,  goofy, and it has one of my favorite animals, the Capybara. It also has a lot of mystery. If I could change one part of the book I would change when Pablo got kicked off the baseball team for having horrific grades.  If I would have been Pablo, I would get a tutor to get my grades up so I don't get kicked off the baseball team. The juicy word would be interesting and insane. It is insane because it has everything  a  good book needs .The Capybara Conspiracy is one of the most outstanding books I have ever read because It has action, it's goofy, it's interesting, and it's a wonderful book to read if you're bored.

  Bookwanderers is a great book to read if you like adventure and fiction.  It's  about a girl named Tilly that loves books and finds out that she can travel in them.  I love the book because every time I pick up the book I wouldn't want to put it down.  If I had to pick one part that made me love the book it would be when Tilly pulled characters out of a book and  they pulled her in the book they came from and she got to experience how the story was in real life.  I would change when Oskar doesn't believe Tilly because she got so mad.  I would have solved the problem by going into Chalk's Office more to find out he is a fictional character.  If I could pick one juicy word to describe Bookwanderers, it would be adventure because they travel inside books and the first time they traveled in a book they had to walk the plank.  If you like adventure and fictional books,  Bookwanderers is the book for you.

Timmy Failure is a magnificent and funny book that I recommend. I was fascinated by how interesting the book was because it had funny parts.  I would change the part when Tom John makes the play a love story. If I were the character in the book I would have solved the problem that Total’s brother couldn’t come where Total lived by going to Total’s brother and taking him on a plane to Total. I would describe the book as stupendous because it teaches you that family is important. If you like funny books,  I truly recommend you read Timmy Failure.

Charlie and the chocolate factory is a great book because it has many twists and turns and it was very silly.   I would change the part where Charlie doesn’t get the golden ticket on his birthday. If I had to change the problem I would have changed the part  in the story that there are 4 golden tickets found already and 1 more ticket left for Charlie or someone else. If I could pick a juicy word to describe my book, I would say silly because it has many things that you’ll laugh at.  I hope you will want to read Charlie and the Chocolate factory soon.

Marcus Makes It Big is the best book I've ever read because it is so funny.  I liked this book because of Marcus he is hilarious.  If I were the author, I would change the part that Marcus gets pelted with trash cans because it was so mean!  If I were a character in the book, I would have solved the problem by teaching Marcus what a primo donut is.  If I were to choose one juicy word to describe this book, it would be funny because it is so humorous.  I would recommend Marcus Makes It Big to anyone who likes silly books; it is a great book!

Jedi Academy is about a kid named Roan who got rejected by Flight School but now he got  an invitation to go to Jedi Academy. I personally loved this book because you don't need to like Star Wars to like this book, it has a lot of pictures, and it’s an easy book.  If I could change one thing in the book when Roan used the force to stop the lightsaber in the lightsaber tournament which got his team disqualified from the tournament. If I was Roan, I would have put less sodium in the science fair project so it didn't explode. One juicy word for this book would be interesting because it has a lot of things happening in the book.  Jedi Academy is one of my favorite books; you should read it NOW because it's so interesting!!!!

If you love action and adventure, Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone is the  right book for you. I liked the book because it has lots of twists and turns, and I love action and adventure.  If I were the author, I wouldn’t change anything because Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is an amazing book. If I were Harry Potter, I would solve the problem by going to Dumbledore for information about how to get past the three headed dog in the first place. If I could pick ONE JUICY WORD to describe the book, I would pick adventure because this book has A LOT of adventure.  This book is amazing for all kinds of readers. I would suggest Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone to anyone I know that likes wizards and wizardry.

All Four Stars  is an adventurous book with many surprises. If you love to read, this is the book for you!  I loved reading this book because there was always something new happening in the next chapter.  If I was Tara Dairman, I would have the hole house burned down instead of the curtains because then they could move to New York and it would make it easier for her to escape and go to restaurants and review them.  If I was Gladys, I would have solved the problem by telling her parents if they could bring her to Classy Cakes and she would pay for it and get to review the restaurant.  If I could pick one juicy word to describe this book, it would be amusing because this book is always having twists and turns that really surprise you!  If you like surprises and adventure, All Four Stars is the book for you.  So, drop the book that you're currently reading, and go read All Four Stars!

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is a good book with action, fighting, and almost dying. I like Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban because of the dementors, they had a great part in saving Sirius Black. If I could change a part I would change the part where Professor Snape comes to the Whomping Willow because he tells Rita Skeeter that he saved Harry, Ron, and Hermione and locked Sirius up. If I was a character in the book, I would have done a memory erase charm so he wouldn’t remember doing it. If I had to pick one juicy word, it would be exciting because the book is exciting and action packed. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is a fun book with only 336 pages so, after reading this, go read it!

Frank Einstein and The Antimatter Motor is a book for everyone who loves science and adventure. I liked Frank Einstein and The Antimatter Motor because it’s so hilarious and has a lot of competition. If I was the author  I would change the part when Klank gets destroyed by the giant squirt gun because Klank is super funny and loves hugs. If I were a character in the book, I would solve the problem by breaking into the lab at night and saving Klink and Klank. The one juicy word I would choose for Frank Einstein and The Antimatter Motor is unpredictable because in this book you can't tell what is going to happen next.  Frank Einstein and The Antimatter Motor  is a book I highly recommend if you love science and reading.

 Bliss is an awesome book that I would recommend to anyone who likes baking and adventure.  It is about a girl named Rosemary Bliss who turns her town upside down using a magic cookbook.  I loved Bliss because the characters take a lot of risks. If I could change one part, it would be the part where Aunt Lily steals the book because then they have to try and steal it back which makes things more difficult.  I would change this problem by not giving Aunt Lily the key that leads to the secret pantry where the book is stored.  If I could pick one juicy word to describe this book, it would be  adventure because they go on lots of adventures .If you like baking and adventure, then Bliss is the book for you.

Upside Down Magic is a very interesting book, I would definitely recommend this book if twists and turns and adventure is your choice.  I loved this book because it was very interesting to read that Nory didn't get into Sage Academy because she couldn't hold her black kitten position long enough.  A part of the book that I would probably change is that Nory got into Sage Academy because it would be exciting to read about the halls and her adventure in Sage Academy.  If I could choose to be a character in the book it would be Nory ,I would change that she was practicing her magic and she messed up her house's garage. Instead ,I would practice in the backyard or outside. If I could choose one juicy word it would definitely be adventure because Upside Down Magic is a very exciting book with all sorts of twists and turns.  Upside Down Magic was so far the best book I have ever read ,I would definitely recommend it.

  If you're looking for a thrilling book then Mac B. Kid Spy: The Impossible Crime is a good book for you.  I like Mac B. Kid Spy: The Impossible Crime because it has a lot of cliffhangers at the end of each chapter.  I also liked the book because one of the characters is the Queen of England.  The only thing I would change is the part where Mac thinks that a carpet is a lion because it is kind of weird.  If I were the character in the book, I would have solved the problem when the snake got in his room and I would have just got on the bed so that the snake would not bite me.  A JUICY WORD to describe my book would be action packed with lots of mystery.  I like Mac B. Kid Spy: The Impossible Crime because it will make you want to be a spy.

Grenade is an exciting book that is about an American soldier and a Japanese kid. It is a real page turner.  If I were the author of the book,  if I had to I would change the part when Rey ran into Hideki so Rey wouldn't die.  I would change it at the part when Rey ran into the forest.  I would have run away from him.  If I could pick one juicy word to describe the story I would choose life threatening because at one moment he jumps out of a bush and the Americans have a clear shot of him.  Hope you read Grenade one day because you will love it!

Neil Flambe and the Marco Polo Murders is an amazing and a very interesting story  about a 14 year old chef called Neil Detective Nakamura are trying to solve the mystery of all the dead chefs in Vancouver, Canada. Neil Flambe and the Marco Polo Murders is an amazing book because you always thinks the murderer is one person but it is actually not. I would.  I would have solved the problem by collecting enough evidence to make it obvious. If I could pick one juicy word to describe the book, it would be page-turner because you always want to turn to the next page and keep reading. Neil Flambe and the Marco Polo Murders  is an amazing book if you like food and mysteries; I strongly advice that you read this book.

Refugee is a story about 3 kids that go on different trips that risked their lives.  Josef is a 13 year old boy in 1939 who escapes Nazi Germany on a crew ship to Cuba.  Mahmoud is a kid in Aleppo,Syria who escapes Aleppo from Assad.   Isabel is a girl in Cuba who is planning to escape with her next door neighbors on a ship/raft to Miami,Florida.  I liked Refugee because it was an interesting book with an action packed story and sad parts. If I had to change where Isabel,her family,and her next door neighbors see their son Ivan get eaten by sharks. If I were a character in the book I would be Luis the police officer so I can stop the protests. If I had to solve the problem by not letting Ivan go in the water.  If I could pick one juicy word to describe the book it would definitely be adventure.   If you like adventure and drama, then Refugee is the book for you.

Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing by Judy Blume (2007-04-19): Amazon.com: Books 

Searching for a  book ? Well, Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing  is the book for you. Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing is a funny, brother friendly, and an engaging book. I liked this book because it is so good that you don’t want to stop reading. If I was the author, I would change the part when Peter is sad when Fudge ate Peter’s turtle because it made me really sad. If I was a character in the book, I'd be Peter’s Mom because  I could be more aware about what Fudge is doing.   If I could pick a juicy word to describe  Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, it  would be funny because there are lots of problems that make the book fun. If you like funny books, Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing is the perfect book for you.
