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 Half - Blood Prince By :Mia

                                                          Q Book Review

Name of Reviewer:  Mia S.

Title of Book:  Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Author of Book:  J.K Rowling                                                     

# of pages:  652

# AR points:  29                                     RL:  7.2

Book is found in Miss Q’s Library https://www.amazon.com/Harry-Potter-Half-Blood-Prince-Book/dp/B017V4NOEG/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=harry+potter+book+6&qid=1621009543&sr=8-1                                                 

I liked Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince because it was full of adventures and mysteries. If I was the author, I  would change the part where Dumbledore died because he did not deserve to die.   If I was Harry,(I am not a boy by the way) I would save Dumbledore and block the curse.  I would also follow the Death Eaters ( death eaters are on voldemort's side/bad guys) to Voldemort and kill him.  If I could pick one juicy word to describe the book, it would be magical  because in the book the school is called “School of Witchcraft and Wizardry/ Hogwarts”.  Overall I loved Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince  because it is a very thrilling book.

City Spies is an entertaining, exciting, and adventurous book and, you will definitely want to keep reading.  I loved the book because it always had me jumping to my feet when every chapter started and ended.  If I were the author, I would change the part where Mother doesn’t find Robert and Annie because it would make the book even MORE interesting and thrilling to know how he found them.  If I were a character in the book, I would be  Brooklyn and I would have found a new lawyer or run away from her mean foster home.  If I could pick one JUICY word to describe the book, I would pick mysterious because it has you always on the hook and wanting to read more.  If you are into spies and mystery, City Spies is definitely an outstanding choice 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!

Book is found in Miss Q’s Library.

            Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library is a thrilling story with a kid who loves games but as soon he learns that the greatest game maker ever is coming to town, everything changes. I love the book because of all the thrilling cliffhangers and the amazing page-turner. If I were the author, I would the probably change the ending because of how the players won. If I were Kyle, I would solve my problem by letting more people join my group. If I could choose one word to describe the book, it would be page-turning because it was a page-turner. Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library is probably the best book I have ever read.

All Four Stars book review by Ceci

# of pages: 273

Book is found in Miss Q’s Library
All Four Stars is about a girl named Gladys Gatsby that loves to cook, and review food. Gladys is not allowed to cook, because she set the curtains on fire. One day the New York Standard, a famous magazine company e-mailed her to be a food critic. Can she keep her new job a secret? I loved this book so much, because it is so adventurous, with many problems that occur constantly. If I were the author of this book, I would change the part when Charissa decides to invite one person to her birthday party and instead she would bring at least two friends. If I were Gladys, I would solve the problem about the New York Standard by calling or e-mailing them that her letter was for the contest and not a letter from a adult that wants to be a food citic. One juicy word that I would use to describe this book is adventurous, because the book is full with adventures. All Four Stars is a great book that everyone would love, even if they aren’t into cooking!

Camila's review on Wonder

Name of Reviewer: Camila
Title of Book: Wonder
Author of Book: Palacio, R.J
 of pages: 315
AR points: 11.0 RL: 4.8
Book is found in Miss Q’s Library

 Wonder is about a boy named Auggie who was born with mandibulofacial  dysostosis which affects the facial tissue and your bones, and he was home-schooled.  After a few years, it was his first time being in a school and he had to face many challenges like getting bullied. I liked the book cause it gave me information that I did not know before like I did not know what mandibulofacial dysostosis before I read this book. If I were the author, I would change the part where Auggie gets bullied by his friend behind his back. I would change this part because I know I don’t like when my friends talk behind my back. If I were a character in the book, I would have solved the problem by being friends with Auggie. If I could pick one juicy word to describe the book,  it would be unique because I have never read a book like it before. If you like reading and adventurous, Wonder is the book for you!

     Neil Flambé and the Marco Polo Murders is one of the best books I have ever read. It includes humor, mysteries, and more! I loved the book because it has great cliff-hangers and it is really funny. I would have changed the part where he went to check out the crime scenes, because if he looked around more, he would have found out some important clues. If I was Neil Flambé, I would’ve interviewed the people that I was suspicious about, like Angels friend. If I could pick one juice word to describe the book, I would choose exciting because the book is filled with cliff hangers and excitement! I loved the book Neil Flambé and the Marco Polo Murders; I hope more people read it!

Author of Book: J.K Rowling

# of pages: 636
# AR points: 32                                  RL: 6.8
Book is found in Miss Q’s Library
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is a thrilling book of wizardry fiction about young Harry Potter competing in a very exciting tournament! I loved this book because there are a lot of cliff hangers like the events of The Triwizard Tournament. First, Harry needs to get past a fire-breathing dragon, then he needs to go underwater and save some of his friends, and last, he needs to get through a maze with very dangerous magical creatures. If I were the author, I would change the part where Cedric Diggory dies because he was very nice to Harry. If I were Harry, I would have done the “ Avada Kedavra” curse on Voldemort to save Cedric.  If I could choose one juicy word to describe the book, I would choose the word thrilling because The Triwizard Tournament was very exciting to read about.  I really liked Harry Potter and the Goblet Of Fire, and I hope you do to!

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.

Cryptid Hunters  has a lot to do with mysteries so, if you like mysteries, than I bet you a billion bucks you’ll love this book.  This book also has a lot to do with teamwork and dinosaurs.  I like mysteries, haunted and, spooky things.  I would change the part where it is just boring old Noah Blackwood jumps out of a helicopter and instead more action.  I would have solved the problem with Noah Blackwood and think of ways to make him forget about Wolfe  so he does not disturb Wolfe. One juicy word that can easily describe this whole book is  MYSTERIOUS.  This book is amazing I recommend it for you.  But remember if you like Mystories and prehistoric animals remember this might just be a tiny bit much of it in this book.

Harry Potter is a boy in the book Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone that has wizard parents that died by who must not be named.   Harry got invited to Hogwarts [wizard school] but his family doesn’t don’t want him to go.  T`I like Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone because it comes across mysteries which I like.  I would change the part where Uncle Vernon is so mean Harry because I think Harry should be glad for the family he has but he’s not .   If I was were a character, I would have been smarter and to realized who was the person that was trying to get by the three -headed dog to try to get the Sorcerer of Stone.   If I could choose one juicy word, it would be mysterious because there is a lot of mysteries in this book. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone  is a great book for you if you like mysteries and adventures.



Martin's Spy School Book Review


Name of Reviewer: Martin

Title of Book: Spy School

Author of Book: Stuart Gibbs

# of pages: 290

# AR points: 9                                    RL: 5.3
Spy School is a thrilling and adventurous story about a boy named Ben Ripley that saves the  world  from enemies. I loved this book because it is kind of scary and has a lot of cliffhangers. If I were the author, I would change the part where Ben got shot in the arm by Murray because I think it is too violent. If I were Ben, I would have hid behind a rock so I would not get shot. One juicy word I word I pick to describe the book is challenges because Ben has to go through a lot of challenges to become a good spy. If you like reading books with thrilling cliffhangers at the end of each chapter, Spy School is the right book for you!

         Riding Freedom is a great book that dates back all the way to the mid 1800 ‘ s and is filled with exciting adventures that make you want to read more and more ! If you like horses, you are going to love Riding Freedom. I liked this book because it has a lot of mysteries and adventures. I would change the part where Vern dies because it’s sad to have to walk up to a “boy“ and inform him that one  of his best friends has recently died. If I were one of the characters from Riding Freedom, I would be Charlotte and I would fix the problem when  Charlotte has to take Mr. Millshark for a ride on a stagecoach by leaving  a little earlier so that he would miss the ride. If I could pick one juicy word to describe the book, it would be exciting because it is filled with loads of exciting adventures and mysteries. I loved the book, maybe Riding Freedom will be the book for you.

Riding  Freedom is about a girl named Charlotte who finds her passion in riding horses. I loved this book because it had a lot of historic events and very interesting details  about the events. If I were the author I would change the fact that Vern died because Charlotte was sad that he died and I didn’t like it. If I were Charlotte, I would fix the problem of her parents dying by trying to let people see me in the potato bin when they are adopting kids. I would chose delightful. I would chose that because Riding Freedom was a very good book it was interesting and I learned that you can do anything you want as long as you try.The book Riding Freedom was a very good book and now you know some facts about it, hopefully you read the book!

Riding Freedom is a thrilling story about a girl trying to get to her freedom.I like the book because it has a lot of adventures and I like reading about adventures.The part of the book I would change is Vern dying because he is a very imporant character in the story and should live until the end of the book.If I were a character from the book, I would have solved the problem by telling all the women to protest and make the men very uncombfortable so that they would let the women vote.One juicy word to describe the book would be persistent because the main character and other characters from the book were very persistent.I think Riding Freedom was an amazing book, and I think that everyone should read it.

# of pages:# # 304
# AR points: 8.0                                 RL: 4.0




Emily Windsnap Sirens Secret is a magical and extraordinary book about merdmaids. I love it so much and I think that everyone should read it because it is very fascinating and you will always wonder what will happen next.  If I had the choice to change a part of the book, I would not change anything because the book is already so good.  If I was a character in the book, I would solve a problem by telling Neptune, in the first place, that there are lost sirens trapped in a waterfall.  If I would pick ONE JUICY WORD to describe the book, I would pick ADVENTUROUS because the book has so much adventure in it.  I totally think that everyone should read Emily Windsnap Sirens Secret and the rest of the books from the series because they are amazing.

# of pages: 368

Book is found in Miss Q’s Library    

                Neil Flambe and The Tokyo Treasure is about a chef who hates mysteries but he always runs into them.  I loved this book because Neil was always thinking about what may or may not happen next.  I would change that Isabella gets shot in the arm because then you don’t now if she will live or not.  I would have tried to push Nori off the boat if I were Neil.  I would choose ADVENTUROUS because Neil and his friends are always trying to figure out something and Neil never gives up.  If you like cooking and mysteries, Neil Flambe and the Tokyo Treasure is the right book for you.
