  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.

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.


Refugee Q Book Review-By Cris

 Blog Book Review

Name of Reviewer: 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

https://www.amazon.com/Refugee-Alan-Gratz/dp/0545880831/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1O9A4Y2VEA8N6&keywords=refugee+alan+gratz&qid=1667410479&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIxLjk3IiwicXNhIjoiMS40NyIsInFzcCI6IjEuMzYifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=Refugee%2Caps%2C118&sr=8-1

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.

 THE CAY is one of the best books I have ever read because of how many things just keep happening.  I liked this book because it is happy and sad at the same time and it is so fun to read!  If I were the author, I would change the part that Timothy dies because Timothy and Phillip were really amazing friends.  If I were a character in the book, I would have not gone on the S.S Hato because then Timothy and Phillip wouldn't have got stuck in the middle of the sea.  If I were to choose one juicy word to describe the book, it would be friendship because Timothy and Phillip had such a great relationship.  I would highly recommend THE CAY to anyone who likes friendship and adventure books.  It is a great book!

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

# of pages:  512

# AR points:  14                                   RL: 4.5

https://www.amazon.com/Keeper-Lost-Cities-Shannon-Messenger/dp/1442445947/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=keepers+of+the+lost+cities+1&qid=1621009207&sr=8-1


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.

                                                                             


Treasure Hunters book review- By Nico B

 Q Book Review

Name of Reviewer:  Nico B.

Title of Book:   Treasure Hunters (Book #1)

Author of Book:  James Patterson

Illustrator of Book: Juliana Neufeld

# of pages: 451

# AR points: 6.0                               RL: 4.6

Book is found in Miss Q’s Library 

https://www.amazon.com/Treasure-Hunters-James-Patterson/dp/0316207578/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2A99U4OO5X2XT&dchild=1&keywords=treasure+hunters+book+1&qid=1621014325&sprefix=treasure+hunters%2Caps%2C183&sr=8-1  

         The Treasure Hunters  is a book with mystery, action, and humor! I liked the book because it was full of cliffhangers, and it took me into this world where anything is possible. If I were the author, I would change when the big storm caused the Lost (the ship) to fill with water because the Lost would get damaged. If I were a character in the book, I would have solved the problem by giving the location of the bad guy to the CIA so they could arrest the bad guy. If I could pick one JUICY WORD to describe the book, the word would be adventurous because the book is full of adventure and action. If you like mystery, action, adventure, and humor, I personally advise you to stop what you are doing and read TREASURE HUNTERS!


The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Oliver T.

Title of Book:  The Invention of Hugo Cabret

Author of Book:  Brian Selznick

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.

Reformed By Will



Name of Reviewer: Will
Title of Book: Reformed
Author of Book: Justin Weinberger
# of pages: 200
# AR points: 6.0                                             RL: 4.4
        I think Reformed is an amazing book so you should try it out.

I liked it because it was an adventure book and that is my favorite type of book.

If I could change one part of the book, I would change the part where they put cheese

in the book and they should have put nothing.  If I were ash Alva and Jermy to stop putting cheese in the book.

 If I could choose one juicy word to describe the book, I would choose crazy because something was always going on.

 I think if you like adventure books Reformed would be a good book for you.

Spy School by Ruben

Name of Reviewer: Ruben
Title of Book: Spy School
Author of Book: Stuart Gibbs
# of pages: 290
# AR points: 9                        RL: 5.3
Book is found in Miss Q’s Library

Spy School is an exciting and mysterious book about a  kid name Ben Ripley who went to a spy school to use his intelligence as a spy.  Ben is always on the run from an evil organization.  I loved this book because there are so many questions to be answered and there are so many plot twists.  If I was Stuart Gibbs, l would change who the mole was in the book because it makes Spy School a little confusing when you find out who is the mole.  If l was one character in the book, l would be Ben and l would have solved my problems by trying not to be friends with anybody.
If l could pick one juicy word to describe this book it would be SURPRISING  because there are a lot of plot twists in this book.  Spy School is perfect for whoever loves mystery’s and exciting adventure’s.

Author of Book: Tara Dairman
# of pages: 273
# AR points:    9.0                               RL: 6.0
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.

Big Game - Tomas

Title of Book: Big Game
Author of Book: Stuart Gibbs
# of pages: 342
# AR points: 11                                    RL: 5.4
Book is found in Miss Q’s Library

        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!

         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!

# of pages: 321
# AR points: 10                                               RL: 5.2

     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!

So b. It is a fun and excting book that has an across America adventure!  I enjoyed reading every page of it because it is the kind of book I’m !!  Since I really like So b. it, I would’nt change anything about it!  If I was Heidi, I wouldv’e solved the problem the same way she did because she always did the right thing.  If I would have to pick a juicy word to describe the book I would pick adventure because of Heidi’s adventure to N-e-w Y-o-r-k C-i-t-a-y!!  I really liked reading every page of So b. It and I hope you do too❣❣📚

       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!

Big Game is the third book of the funjungle series and is an amazing book because of animals and zoos. I loved this book because I love animals and hippos.If I could change one part of the book, it would be when Teddy and his family are stuck in a room hand coughed to a chair. If I could choose one juicy word to describe the book it would be adventurous because it has a lot of adventure. Big Game is an astonishing book to read, and you will love it, too!

Book is found in Miss Q’s Library

              The book Space Case is a must read book that talks about the moon and a murrder . I liked the book because it’s about a boy who lives of the moon with his family. If I was the author, one thing I would change is that Nina would rage less. mysteryIf I could pick one word to describe this book it would be out-of-this-world because it is on the moon. I recommend Space Case  to people who like space and mystery mystery because it’s on the moon and there is a murrder.
