Riding Freedom book review by Max V

Max’s Riding Freedom Blog Book Review
Name of Reviewer:Max V
Title of Book: Riding Freedom
Author of Book: Pam Munoz Ryan
Illustrator of Book: Bryan Selznick
# of pages:  138
# AR points: 3                        RL:3.5





Riding Freedom is a book about a girl named Charlotte that escapes from an  orphanage and creates a new life in Manchester and out west.  She diguises herself as a boy because she wants to break the mold and do things that women have never done before.  I liked the book  because it had cliff hangers and very suprising moments.  I would change the chapter where Freedm dies and make it a happier chapter.  If I was a charachter in the book I would have solved the problem where Freedom dies  and I would have found a new horse that I love and adore and race that one.  The juicy word  that I choose about the book is astonishing because I was surprised that Freedom died so early in the book.  I would recommend the book Riding Freeedom because it has a lot of cliff hangers and if you like cliff hangers and historical fiction than this is the book for you.

Riding Freedom is an excellent book! Everyone that loves horses is in for a treat. Even if you don’t like horses, this book will still be a perfect pick for you guys. The story is about a girl that is full of exciting adventure. I loved the book Riding Freedom because the book is full of detail and juicy adjectives. My favorite part of the book was when Charlotte ran away from the orphanage because her friend got adopted and she was not allowed to work with the horses. One juicy word I would pick to describe the book is emotional because the story is kind of sad. One part of the book I would change, if I was the author, is that Charlotte didn’t get kicked in the left eye by a horse because I wonder what else Charlotte would have been nicknamed. I recommend you read Riding Freedom because you can learn about a bunch of words that are not as simple as roof.

Eloise's Blog Book Review on This Journal Belongs to Ratchet

Author of Book: Nancy J. Cavanaugh
# of pages: 322

Book is found in Miss Q’s Library

This Journal belongs to Ratchet is a spectacular book that everyone in the world should read. I LOVE this book because there is so many details and you never want to stop reading it. I would not change any part of the book because I think the author wrote it perfectly and if she changed any part the book, it would not be the same. If I were Ratchet, I would have solved the problem of her not having any friends by inviting some kids that lived near her, instead of waiting to make a friend. If I could pick one juicy word to describe this book, I would pick fantastic because when I finished the book all I could say was that this book was fantastic. If you love exciting books with a little bit of sadness, you should read This Journal Belongs to Ratchet an astonishing and wonderful book.

Pugs Of The Frozen North Book Blog Review


Name of Reviewer: Andres
Title of Book: Pugs Of The Frozen North
Author of Book: Phillip Reeve
# of pages: 225
# AR points: 3.0                                  RL: 5.4


Pugs Of The Frozen North is a fantastic book and I loved the book so much. I loved this book because it was filled with suprises. I would have changed nothing because Pillip Reeve wrote this book so well. If I had to solve the problem, I would buy stronger dogs to get to the top of the world. If I had to pick one juicy word, it would be mindblowing because of the adventure Sika and Shen had to go through. I loved Pugs Of The Frozen North and I hope you do too.

Title of Book: Prisoner B-3087

Author of Book: Alan Gratz

# of pages: 260

# AR points: 7.0                                          RL: 4.9


Prisoner B-3087 is about a kid who is trying to work hard to get out of all the death camps in Germany and Poland because the Nazis have invaded.  This book is marvelous and I liked it because Yanek (the kid) survives all the death camps he has lived in.  I would not change anything about the book and even if I wanted to I can’t because the book is based on a true story.  If I was Yanek, I would solve the problem by running away into the city where the Nazis wouldn’t know he was a Jew.  If I could pick one juicy word to describe the the book, it would be BOGGLE because it is hard to imagine that all these horrible things could happen to a kid.  If you like war books, I would recommend this book to you because Prisoner B-3087 is all about war.

Nate's LoveThat Dog Review

Name of Reviewer: Nate

Title of Book: Love That Dog

Author of Book: Sharon Creech

# of pages: 86

# AR points: 1                          RL: 4.5

Book is found in Miss Q’s Library


Love That Dog is an extraordinary book because it is about poems that are free verse.   I liked the book Love That Dog because it is about a boy that did not like poetry but then evolved into liking it a lot.   If I were the author I would write little reminders of when there is a poem the reader should read from the back of the book.   If I were Jack, I would solve the problem by not throwing the ball when the little blue car came speeding down the road.   ONE JUICY WORD to describe the book is PHENOMENAL because the book is very sad, happy, exiting, and also has awesome poems.   If you love poems, I would recommend Love That Dog to you because it’s all about poems.

Love That Dog is a great book if you love dogs and poetry.  I loved  this book          
because I have a yellow dog just like Jack.   If I was the author I would change the sad part in the book.  If I was Jack I would change when Jack is scared because his poems have a lot of the  authors words I would not be embarrassed. If I could describe this book it would be breathtaking because it takes your breath away and you want to keep reading.  Love That Dog is a recommended book to all dog and poetry lovers.

Love That Dog is an amazing novel because something surprising happened to Sky.   I really liked the book because it has a lot of change from the beginning of the book to the end of the book.  The only thing I would change about the book is to make it a little happier because one part made me a little sad but otherwise it’s perfect.  I think Jack solved the problems really well because he finally told about what happened to Sky and it gave the book a little twist.  ONE JUICY WORD for this book is astonishing because I personally think that the story is relaxing and I can tell that Sharon Creech took a lot of time writing this amazing story. Love That Dog is a very interesting book, I recommend that you read this magnificent narrative poetry book.  P.S. Look at the back of the book to find poems that are used in Miss Stretchberry’s class!
