Victor's book blog review on The Worst Night Ever

Name of Reviewer:Victor
Title of Book:The Worst Night Ever
Author of Book: Dave Barry
Illustrator of Book: Jon Cannell
# of pages: 256
# AR points:    7.0                               RL:4.4

 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.

Peter and the Sword of Mercy


Name of Reviewer: Sindhu

            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.
