         Panda-monium is one of the best books from the FunJungle series! I loved the book because it had a panda in it! The panda went missing but Teddy solved the mystery. If I was Stuart Gibbs, I would change the part the kidnappers send Li Ping’s claw to J.J McCraken. I felt so bad for Li Ping. If I was Teddy, I would’ve suspected even the nice guys like the Rhino keeper or maybe even Large Marge. If I could pick one word to describe the book, I would choose emotional. It was really emotinal because J.J got his Panda back. I think Panda-monium was a great book, and I hope Stuart Gibbs makes more books about pandas!

         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!

 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!

              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.

Today, I’m going to recommend and tell you about the best book ever (in my opinion): Riding Freedom. I liked this book because it has a lot of emotions in it. Such as sadness, happiness, madness. If I were the author, I would change the part when Charlotte gets trampled in the left eye because that would hurt. If I were a character in the book, the solution to the problem in the book would be to gather a lot of politicians to agree that women should have equal rights. If I could pick ONE JUICY WORD to describe the book, it would be emotional and outstanding because these two words really describe this book really well. Ridding Freedom was an outstanding book and I would happily to reread it anytime.

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.

                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.

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 will keep you guessing but you'll never guess what Jack is like at the end of the book.  I liked the book because  the author makes me happy and sad at the same time.  I would  change nothing because Sharon Creech wrote it perfectly because she made you sad only at certain sections in the book.  If I was Jack, I would have reacted the same way to writing poetry as Jack because I  had to write poems and it was kind of boring.  If I could pick one word to describe Love That Dog, it would be perplexed because you would never know what Jack would do next.  So, you should read Love That Dog because it’s so mind bending you’ll love it.

Love That Dog is a book about poetry, with a lot of surprising and interesting twists. In the book, Jack, a boy who thinks poetry is just for girls, might be interested in poetry after all. Read and find out.  I loved the book because it is about poetry and it shows how Jack evolves throughout the book about poetry.  The only part I would change in the book is that I would put a little note when the reader has to go back to the end of the book and read a poem.  If I was a character in the book, I would solve the problem by being more careful when his dog is on the street.  One juicy word I would use to describe the book Love That Dog is remarkable because it could make you happy and sad at the same time.  I would recommend Love That Dog to anybody who loves poetry because the book is written as a narrative poem.

Love That Dog is a short but fabulous book with so many details and some emotional  parts. Love That Dog is  a book that you can’t stop reading. I loved the book because there were so many twists, and it was so funny. It also has some emotional parts that made the book more amazing. If I was the author of Love That Dog, I would change nothing about the book because she wrote the book so fabulous and interesting. If I was a character in the book, I would do just what Jack did because the reader can’t stop reading. If I had to pick a word to describe Love That Dog, I would pick spectacular because overall the book is happy and fauulous . I loved Love That Dog and I would recommend this book if you like happy, emotional,and funny books.

Love That Dog will make you want to read more, more and, more because Love That Dog is very heart breaking.  I liked Love That Dog because I love dogs .  I would change one part in Love That Dog because something very sad happens.  If I was Jack I would write more letters to the author.  If I would pick ONE JUICY WORD I would pick spectacular because the book is spectacular because Jack  wrote spectacular poems.  I recommend Love That Dog to my dad because my dad is an author to.  P.S. his book is called The Phoenix Project Kids can't read The Phoenix Project because its more  an adult book.

Love That Dog is an extraordinary book about a kid named Jack who evolves  about poetry throughout the school year. His caring teacher, Mrs. Strechberry, helps him with poetry. I loved Love That Dog  because there were so many twists and turns, and it was sad problem by going to the post office  getting the letter and jumping on  a plane and going to Mr. Dean Myers house and giving him the mail or telling him in person because it was going to take six months. One good word to describe the book is extraordinary because it had so many twists and turns. Last but not least, if you like poetry, go get Love That Dog  by Sharon Creech which was sad, happy, interesting, and extraordinary. Also, I can’t forget that this is the best book ever and  you can buy it using the link above.

If you are interested in books that make you fall off your seat when your reading, then Kira-Kira  is the book for you. I love this book because it is so addictive.  If I were the author, I would change that the parents are not from Japan but that they are from China. If I were Lyn, I would have told my mom that I needed to see the doctor. If I could pick one word to describe this book, it would be emotional  because so many sad things happened . “ My parents said that slapping was the first thing that you should never do. Stealing was second, and lying was third. I have committed all of those crimes before I was twelve”. If you like books that leave you anxious at the end of every page, then Kira-Kira  is the book for you.

The Orphan of Ellis Island is a book with extraordinary events and experiences that are sometimes sad. I really loved reading The Orphan of Ellis Island because this book is filled with unexpected moments and lots of adventures in a lot of different places. This book is also filled with many emotions, happiness, sadness, scariness, and even nervousness; books like this are books for me. The author of The Orphan of Ellis Island, Elvira Woodruff makes you want to never stop reading her books. If I were the author, I wouldn’t change any part of this book because everything is perfect the way it is; there is nothing to change. If I were a character in the book, I would’ve stopped Salvatore from eating cherry pits so that he wouldn’t die. Also, I would change the part when the three Candiano brothers and Dominic are supposed to get on the boat to go to America and instead they would just stay in hiding until later. If there was one word to describe The Orphan of Ellis Island, I would choose thrilling because this book has a lot of exciting moments and adventures throughout the entire book. Read The Orphan of Ellis Island and it will definitely bring adventure into your life.

The Edge Book Review by Pablo

              The Edge is an interesting and exciting book with many different emotions. Peak is a teenage boy whose desire is to climb anything. He is invited to a Peace Climb in Afghanistan and things go terribly wrong.  I loved this book because you start reading this exciting and happy book and then all of a sudden you are struck by surprise events in the book. If I was the author of The Edge, I would change how many people die in the book because it is way too many. I would not change that all the people die even though it is sad, because it brings a lot of character to the book. If I was Peak, I would have solved the problem by listening to the wiser adults and drunken more water on the 110 Fahrenheit degree mountain. One juicy word to describe this book is Emotional because there is happiness in some parts and sadness in others. I would recommend this book to the readers that love exciting adventures. If you would like to buy the book, click on the link above and Happy Reading!!!!
