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.

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!

Refugee Q Book Review-By Cris

Title of Book: Refugee

Author of Book: Alan Gratz

# of pages: 352

# AR points: 10.0                                 RL: 5.3

Book is found in Miss Q’s Library

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.

Keeper Of The Lost Cities - Lucas C.

 Q Book Review

Name of Reviewer:  Lucas C.

Title of Book:  Keeper Of The Lost Cities

Author of Book:  Shannon Messenger

Keeper Of The Lost Cities is a great action-packed and adventurous book.  I liked the book because it has action, adventure, mystery, and every chapter ends in a great cliff hanger.  If I were the author, I would change (SPOILER ALERT!!!) the part of the book that Dex doesn’t like to be a technopath (a special ability that makes you really good with technology).  If I was Dex, a character in the book, I would solve the problem that I didn’t like being a technopath by overcoming my fear and telling everyone.  If I could pick ONE JUICY WORD to describe the book, it would be extraordinary because the characters have such exciting lives.  Even though it looks long, You will not be able to put the book down.  If you like action, adventure, and mystery, you should definitely read Keeper Of The Lost Cities.

I liked a book called Poached That is about a kid named Teddy who is solving crimes but  people always think it is him doing the crime.  If I was the author, I would change the part where Teddy was accused of stealing the koala because Marge yells at Teddy so much. If I was Teddy, I would have solved the problem by looking at the clues and knowing who stole the koala.  If I could pick one juicy word  to describe the book, it would be action because  there is a lot of action in the book. So if there is a book I would recommend you  read, it would be Poached.

                                                                             


Belly Up - By Sebastian V.

 


Q Book Review

Book is found in Miss Q’s Library.

https://www.amazon.com/s?k=belly+up&ref=nb_sb_noss_1


Belly Up is one of my favorite book of all time about a boy named Teddy that has a lot of adventures with Summer McCracken. I really liked the book Belly Up. I really think it was interesting because Teddy and Summer have adventures to  figure out who killed Henry the Hippo. If I were the author, I would change the part that Henry dies. I would change that because in my opinion disappearing is more interesting than Henry dying. If I were Teddy, I would have looked in every camera in the park and seen who killed Henry or I would have heard the killer talking about killing Henry. If I could pick one jucy word, to describe the book I would choose  addicting because the author makes the reader just want to keep reading. I think Belly Up is the best book I have ever read. Because  It made me wonder about many things. If you like mysterious books, Belly Up is the right book for you.

The Invention Of Hugo Cabret is an amazing and adventurous book. It is one of my favorite books ever, because it is a page turner and makes me want to read more. If I was the author, I would change that something happened to Hugo earlier than it happened in the book so there can be more action and adventures.  If I were a character in the book, I would’ve solved the problem by helping Hugo escape his problem earlier.  If I could describe the book in one juicy word, it would be adventurous because there is always an adventure going on.  The Invention Of Hugo Cabret is a great book for all of those reasons and many more! I would definitely recommend this book to anybody who is searching for a book to read!

The Invention of Hugo Cabret is both mysterious and adventurous.  I loved Hugo Cabret because it includes detailed illustrations that are drawn realistically, and it gives the reader the feeling of suspense and exhilaration every time you see Hugo narrowly escaping danger.  If I were the author, I would change the part where Hugo’s father dies in the museum because it’s just too devastating.  If I were Hugo, I would have solved my father’s death by going around town and asking everyone if they knew my father and see if they gave me any clues.  One juicy word to describe the book would be THRILLING because there is always tension, suspense, and excitement in what’s going to happen in the next page.  The Invention of Hugo Cabret is by far the most brilliant book ever written without question in which you could reach enlightenment for the abundant and rich experience reading it.  So, that’s why I would highly recommend reading The invention of Hugo Cabret.

            The Dark Prophecy is the second book in the amazing series Trials of Apollo.

  I loved the book because it has lots of cliffhangers and action. 

If I was Rick Riordan I would change the part where a griffin dies because he didn’t deserve to die.

  I would have solved the problem where the griffin dies by going to the place where the griffin lived earlier.

  If I could pick one juicy word to describe the book it would be action because it is packed with it.

 In my opinion you should read The Dark Prophecy because it is a hilarious and amazing book.

Book is found in Miss Q’s Librairy
All Four Stars is a book  about baking, action, and disasters in the kitchen. I absolutely loved this book because it is all about taking risks and it is also about baking which I love. If I was the author, I would change how Sandy doesn’t go to Gladys’s school because then Gladys would have one friend. I would also like to change how the book doesn't have any illustrations. If I was Gladys, I would fix the problem of not being able to go to Classy Cakes by telling her dad that in school there was a project to write a review for Classy Cakes. If I could pick ONE JUICY WORD to describe All Four Stars,it would be stealthy because everything Gladys did was a secret so she had to be stealthy to do it. This book is definitely one of the best books I have read because there is always something happening. If you are a person that loves baking, action, and excitement all-in-one, then All Four Stars is the book for you.

         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!

       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!

Book is found in Miss Q’s Library
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 .

              MiNRS2 is the second book in the MiNRS series. After hiding underground in the first book, but the MiNRS have to do it AGAIN. But, it is still nail-biting, exciting! 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!

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!

The book Space Case is a wonderful action-packed book. I LOVED this book because I love mysteries about murderers. If I could change part of the book I would change the part where Dashiell is almost killed by the giant robotic arm. If I were Dashiell Gibson, I would have solved the problem of the murder the same way he did because it was a super smart way of doing it. If I chose one juicy word to describe this book, I would chose cliffhanging because it leaves you on SO MANY cliffhangers. If you like action and mysteries, then this is for sure the book for you.

If you like adventures , clock work, and wonders, then The Invention Of Hugo Cabret is the book for you.  I like the book because it has wonderful drawings and has a great wonder that leads to everything in the whole book.  If I was the author, I would change the part when Hugo looses his father because I think he does not deserve that.  If I was a character in the book, I would have solved the problem by finding every screw and bolt until it made the robot work.  If I could pick one juicy word to describe the story, it would be remarkable because this story is a magical and is a great adventure.  The Invention Of Hugo Cabret has been a great part of my life and I hope you will enjoy reading it.

# of pages: 320
# AR points:    9.0                               RL: 4.4

The Big Game is a great book if you like football and action.  I liked the book because I like football and I play football.  I would change the part about Danny’s dad dying because he ran 3 miles and he got a heart attak.  I would have solved the problem by not thinking of what happened.  One juicy word I would choose to describe the book is breathtaking because you don’t know what will happen next.  The Big Game was  a great book ; I think you should read the book, too!

Carlos Three Musketeers' Book Review



Name of Reviewer: Carlos
Title of Book: Three Musketeers
Author of Book: Alexandre Dumas
# of pages: 700
# AR points:    42.0                             RL: 11.3
The Three Musketeers is a thrilling story made by Alexandre Dumas in 1844. The book has a lot of adventure like when D’Artangnan fights for Anne of Austria.
I really liked this book because there was always something going on in every page of the book.  One part I would change about this book is when D’Artangan duels against Aramis, Athos, and Porthos because they become really good friends. If I was D’Artagnan, I would have solved the problem by killing the Cardinal and the Duke of Buckingham. One juicy word I would pick about this book is adventurous because there is a lot of action. I really enjoyed The Three Musketeers and I think that you would too.
