Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Anna Sofia`s Blog Book Review 
Name of Reviewer: Anna Sofia
Title of Book: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Author of Book: J.K Rowling
# of pages: 341
# AR points:    14                                 RL: 6.7
Book is found in Miss Q’s Library

           Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a fantastic novel about a boy who explores a chamber and has an annoying teacher for dark arts. Also, Harry Potter discovers secrets, dark secrets. There is drama, magic, and mystery. And most of all a battle that will change Harry`s life forever. If I really wanted to pick a juicy word for this book, it would be aggression. I`m recommending Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets to you because it had me on the edge of my seat when Harry was in battles and discovered hidden secrets.

Joseph's review on Stay Alive Crash

 If you like books were people get in danger I think this is a good book for you. In the beginning of the book, they crash in Alaska. Titus, Jill, Web, Paul, and Mr. E build a tent with tarp on top of it and find enough food to survive while in Alaska. They named it Camp Lollipop because Suryadi, Mr. E, Titus, Web, Paul, and Jill got to have lollipops. Titus found a crossbow in the plane and told everyone. Everyone was hoping for a knife because they thought it would be more useful. Everyone argued about sleeping in the plane overnight because they thought it would was safe from bears but dangerous because the plane could sink. In the middle of the book, my favorite character dies. His name was Suryadi. Jill
caught some fish while Web chopped the head of and gave it Buford the dog. While Jill was watching over night, a bear came. Everyone backed up and let the bear go away. Mr. E made markings on a tree for how many days they had survived in Alaska. A plane flew over head and everyone tried to get its attention but the plane did not see them. Titus and Web set out to find help and keep going to follow the river.In the end of the book, Mr. E, Jill, and Paul get saved. Titus and web can’t go any farther because they are to weak. Web tries to swim and he dies. Titus tries to swim and he makes it Titus tries making a fire, but his fingers can not move and while he was trying to do it a helicopter saves him. While Titus gets saved, Buford was at the vet and everyone who survived had a happy life.

The Grave Yard Book By Grafton


Name of Reviewer: Grafton
Title of Book: The Grave Yard Book

In Miss Q’s library

If you want to read about a boy with powers or a boy that lives in a grave yard read on because The Grave Yard Book has both of those things. I personally loved the book because it had what I like in a book because it had mysteries and puzzles. The part I would change is the part when the ghost starts singing” all shall dance the mackaray” to some thing else because the song never made sense and it never explained it. If I was a character, I would have solved the problem by getting the main character a gun like Taser. The one juicy word would be dangerous because the main character is hunted by at least a thousand people. I would recommend this book to people that like adventure  books because this book has lots of adventures . If you like this, book review, read The Grave Yard Book by buying the book on the link above.
