Finn's Book Review on Whatshisface


Blog Book Review
Name of Reviewer: Finn 
Title of Book: Whatshisface
Author of Book: Gordan Korman
# of pages: 231
# AR points: 8                                RL: 5.7
Book is found in Miss Q’s Library

Whatshisface is a fun, action- packed adventure about a boy who just moved to a new town and has a ghost from the 18th century in his phone.  I liked this book because it had a lot of cliff hangers,  humor, action, and had very good descriptive writing.  The writing helps you to visualize what is happening. If I were the author, I would change that Roddy (The Ghost) dies of plauge because I did not really understand what it was, therefore I could not visualize the substance as a reader. If I were Cooper in the story, I would solve the problem by turning the situation over to the police. Although they might not believe it, they still, might investigate. If I could choose ONE JUICY WORD to describe the book, it would be enticing because it’s so tempting to read.  Whatshisface is such a good fit for me and I hope it is for you too.

Emilio Banuelos Ungifted

Emilio’s Blog Book Review
 Ungifted
Name of Reviewer: Emilio
Title of Book: Ungifted
Author of Book: Gordan Korman
# of pages: 280

If you are interested in adventure and robots, Ungifted is the book for you. Ungifted is a marvelous book about a kid that pranks his school and it turns out being the best thing that ever happened to him. I loved the book because he is full of  adventure and he has a plan to fool smart kids that he is smarter. I would change the part when Donavon (main character) bumps a part of a statue to bumping a part of wire in the gymnasium. If I was Donavon, I would not be chasing the part of the statue and I would have stayed and not gotten in trouble.  One juicy word to describe the book would be secret because he has to keep a secret until the end of the year. Gordan Korman is my favorite book author and I hope he is yours too. I really hope you read “Ungifted”, it is my favorite and I bet it will be yours to.
