Upside Down Magic is a very interesting book, I would definitely recommend this book if twists and turns and adventure is your choice.  I loved this book because it was very interesting to read that Nory didn't get into Sage Academy because she couldn't hold her black kitten position long enough.  A part of the book that I would probably change is that Nory got into Sage Academy because it would be exciting to read about the halls and her adventure in Sage Academy.  If I could choose to be a character in the book it would be Nory ,I would change that she was practicing her magic and she messed up her house's garage. Instead ,I would practice in the backyard or outside. If I could choose one juicy word it would definitely be adventure because Upside Down Magic is a very exciting book with all sorts of twists and turns.  Upside Down Magic was so far the best book I have ever read ,I would definitely recommend it.

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.

Timmy Failure Mistakes Were Made is an amazing book about a kid named Timmy Failuer and He is a detective.  His conpany name is named Total failuer.  His pet is a polar bear named total.  I loved the book so much.  I loved it because it was really funny in the events between Total and Timmy, and kind of scary for Timmy sometimes and I love those type of things.  If I was the author I would change Total so he wasn’t a polar bear,  not because he isn’t good in the story, but if he was a grizzly bear, there might have been a little more action in the book. If I was Timmy, I would solve the problem of losing Total by studying harder than ever and taking a break on detective work.  One juicy word to describe this book would be AMAZING because this book is full of action  Timmy Failure Mistakes Were Made is full of every thing you would ever want including really funny, little bit of drama, and it is a great book.

     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!

              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!

              Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azakaban is a great book. It is a sad and dramatic book. If you like books where people and animals are on the bridge of dying, but they are rescued and there is a lot of action, then you should read Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I loved the book because it is packed with drama and action. If I were J.K. Rowling, I would change the part where Professor Lupin turns into a werewolf and make it that everyone rushed to the castle instead of waited so Professor Lupin would be able to have his medicine. One juicy word I would pick to describe Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is tense because the book always made me really tense when I read it. I highly recommend avid readers like me to read Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban because it is a great book for people who love to read.

      Do you like adventurous and inspiring stories? Well, you are in luck because the book I am reviewing is Riding Freedom by Pam Munoz Rian and illustrated by Brian Selznick! This book took place in the mid-1800´s.      I loved this book because it was very interesting and I could not get out of it. The book transported me to a different world. It was mindblowing.      I don’t think I would change any part of the book because Pam Muñoz Rian had such juicy details and the book was amazing just the way it was.      If I were a character in the book, I think I would have solved the problem by telling Hayward’s parents that I was his best friend and if I could live with them and then I would have had Hayward beg his parents too.       If I could pick one juicy word to describe Riding Freedom it would be spectacular because the book is just plain wonderful!      I would really recommend anybody to read the book Riding Freedom, even you and your pet iguana! It is just amzing and you and your pet iguana have to read it. Once you are done reading it, you will want to read it 10,000 times again. That is my book review for the spectacular and amazing Riding Freedom! Enjoy! ツ💗😊🐴

If you like drama,  action  and horses then Riding Freedom is your type of book.  I

liked this book because it explained how wrong things should be right. If I were the author, I would change when Vern dies and make him visit Charlotte with Hayward. If I were Charlotte, I would solve the problem by talking when Miss Boyle hides me in the potato bin so the parents that want girls can find me. If I could pick one juicy word to describe the book, it would be fantastic because each part has a problem but gets fixed in a wonderful way. Finally, if what I have said is boring  then all I have to say about  Riding Freedom  is it mite change your life.

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.

                The book Wonder is about August, a deformed boy, going to school for the first time and he is nervous.  I loved Wonder because he is a nervous wreck and he doesn’t have that many friends.  He is trying to be looked at like he is a normal kid, can he do it? Read to find out.  If I was the author, I wouldn’t change anything because R.J Palacio made the book perfectly.  If I was August, I would have done exactly the same thing that he did to solve the problem because he did it almost perfectly.  The juicy word I would pick would be inspiring because the book Wonder inspired me to become a better person.  I would recommend this book to people all ages because you will learn a few lessons and how hard life is for people like August.

 If you like Roller Derby, action, drama, and stories about friendship, check out Roller Girl.  I liked Roller Girl  because it had a lot of twists and turns throughout the book.   I  think  Astrid did the right thing because Nicole was being a terrible person.   If I was Astrid, I would have told Nicole that she was being very mean and they had to work it out.  One juicy word to describe Roller Girl  is spectacular because there are so many things going on in Astrid’s life at the same time.   If you liked this Roller Girl and are looking for a great book buy it in the link above.

The moment I read the first sentence, I couldn’t put The War That Saved My Life  down until I finished reading the last sentence. I like this book because it was filled with action and drama.  If I wrote this astounding book, I wouldn’t change a word. If I were the main character, ten-year-old Ada, I would have also run away from her mam (mom), which does happen in the book. I would do this because her mam keeps her in her room with a bucket. Her mam does this because Ada has a hideous clubfoot; well, at least that’s what her mam says. Once she runs away, Ada and her brother become evacuees and it gets much more exciting by the second! Now, that they ran away during the war they have become evacuees. One JUICY word to describe The War That Saved My Life is flabbergasting and an addicting book because I really couldn’t stop reading! I can’t wait for the sequel, The War I Finally Won. Will her mam come and get her back or will she stay with the nicest caretaker, Miss Smith? Read The War That Saved My Life  to find out...

Pie is an amazing book that will blow your mind. I love Pie so much because the book has so much detail you feel like the book is alive. Although there is a really sad moment in the book everyone should still read it because it an extraordinary book. I would change the part where Alice finds her friend in Polly’s apartment after the tragedy because I feel it is sort of rude how Alice’s friend goes into Alice’s aunts apartment when he didn’t get permission. If I were Polly, I would have solved the problem by just telling Alice the recipe so nothing bad happens. If I could pick a juicy word, it would be breathtaking. Once you read Pie, you will never think of pies the same way because there is a amazing story with mystery, comedy, and sadness all about a pie crust recipe.
