Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - Anderson T

 Blog Book Review

Name of Reviewer: Anderson

Title of Book: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Author of Book: J.K. Rowling

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is a good book with action, fighting, and almost dying. I like Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban because of the dementors, they had a great part in saving Sirius Black. If I could change a part I would change the part where Professor Snape comes to the Whomping Willow because he tells Rita Skeeter that he saved Harry, Ron, and Hermione and locked Sirius up. If I was a character in the book, I would have done a memory erase charm so he wouldn’t remember doing it. If I had to pick one juicy word, it would be exciting because the book is exciting and action packed. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is a fun book with only 336 pages so, after reading this, go read it!




Grenade By George

 Blog Book Review

Name of Reviewer: George                                                                                 Title of Book: Grenade                                                                                            Author of Book: Alan Gratz                        pages: 255                                            AR points: 7.0                                 RL: 5.2

Grenade is an exciting book that is about an American soldier and a Japanese kid. It is a real page turner.  If I were the author of the book,  if I had to I would change the part when Rey ran into Hideki so Rey wouldn't die.  I would change it at the part when Rey ran into the forest.  I would have run away from him.  If I could pick one juicy word to describe the story I would choose life threatening because at one moment he jumps out of a bush and the Americans have a clear shot of him.  Hope you read Grenade one day because you will love it!


Spy School Revolution - Ben G

If you like spies and suspense, you have to read Spy School Revolution because every page you turn you learn something new about the book.  Like one page you're reading about breaking into  Mount Vernon and the next page you're running away from someone in a carriage.  If I were the author, I would change the way they broke into Mount Vernon because they only used a boat and it would be more impressive if they used a submarine. If I were a character,  I would solve the problem by reviewing the footage of Erica shooting at the CIA headquarters.  If I could pick one juicy word I would pick entertaining because there are twists and turns to the story.  After reading this review, I hope you want to read Spy School Revolution soon.

Timmy Failure: The Cat Stole My Pants

Timmy Failure: The Cat Stole My Pants is a great book,  it makes you want to continue reading because it is funny, mysterious and has pictures on almost every page.  I liked the book because it is hilarious and I wanted to keep reading. If I were the author, I would change the part where Timmy was vomiting on the boat because it is gross and there was basically no point in it.  If I were a character in the book, I would have been Timmy and solved the problem by letting Total and Emilio do all the work.  If I could pick one juicy word to describe the book, it would be amusing because the book is very funny and interesting.  Timmy Failure: The Cat Stole My Pants is one of the best books I have read in my opinion, and I would read it again anytime.

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!

Spy School by Ruben


Blog Book Review
Name of Reviewer: Ruben
Title of Book: Spy School
Author of Book: Stuart Gibbs
# of pages: 290
# AR points: 9                        RL: 5.3
Book is found in Miss Q’s Library

Spy School is an exciting and mysterious book about a  kid name Ben Ripley who went to a spy school to use his intelligence as a spy.  Ben is always on the run from an evil organization.  I loved this book because there are so many questions to be answered and there are so many plot twists.  If I was Stuart Gibbs, l would change who the mole was in the book because it makes Spy School a little confusing when you find out who is the mole.  If l was one character in the book, l would be Ben and l would have solved my problems by trying not to be friends with anybody.
If l could pick one juicy word to describe this book it would be SURPRISING  because there are a lot of plot twists in this book.  Spy School is perfect for whoever loves mystery’s and exciting adventure’s.

       Spy School Goes South is one of my favorite books from Stuart Gibbs! It contains AWESOME cliff hangers, action, and dramatic scenes! The book was amazing, and it is one of the best from the Spy School Series. I like it because the spies in-training go to a different country. If I could change one part of the book, I would change the part the spies in-training expose the gun dealer in the bathroom. If I was Ben Ripely in Spy School, I would’ve broken into Joshua’s room much earlier because he wouldn’t have to been pressured. One great word to describe this book would be dramatic because the book is filled with it! Spy School Goes South is one of the best books ever! I’m excited about what Stuart Gibbs is going to make next!

     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!

Spy School is about a boy named Ben who saves the world from danger. I loved Spy School because it had interesting details and events that were full of adventure. I would change the part where Murry is crushed by the ice and passes out because I feel bad for him since he probably got hurt. I would solve the problem of Murry being the mole by camping by the bomb and waiting until he is there and pouncing on the mole. I would chose outstanding because this book was full of adventure. Now that you know about Spy School hopfully you will read it, and love it.

Have you been searching for a great book? If so, or if you’re just finishing the series, Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire is the book for you! It has adventures, challenges and funny jokes along the way! I loved Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire because it takes me through series of adventures and mysteries that make me want to read more and more! If I was the author, I would change the part where Cedric Diggory dies into that he does not die and instead tries to sabotage Harry’s attempt to win and then Cedric dies. If I was a character, I would be Hermione and I would solve the problem of the S.P.E.W. by understanding that the elves liked being held as slaves and not getting paid. If I could pick one juicy word to describe the book, I would chose dventure because it’s filled with exciting, adventures ! Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire is a great book, and I hope you will think so too.

         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 an awesome book. There is a girl named Charlotte and she is so persistent  in everything she does. I love the book because Charlotte is strong, persistent, and not afraid to do  anything. I would change the part that her mom and dad dies because It is so sad. If I were a character I would be Vern and ask to go with Charlotte to California. The one juicy word I would pick to describe the book  be persistent because Charlotte, Hayward and Vern are persistent. You should read Riding Freedom because it is so good and I like it a lot.

Victor's book blog review on The Worst Night Ever

Title of Book:The Worst Night Ever
Author of Book: Dave Barry
Illustrator of Book: Jon Cannell
# of pages: 256
# AR points:    7.0                               RL:4.4

 If you like mystery & adventure, then The Worst Night Ever is the book for you.  The Worst Night Ever  is about two kids named Matt and Wyatt. I liked this book because adventure and mystery are what entertain me and what kept me reading The Worst Night Ever. If I was a character in the book, I would have solved the problem by not telling the police that the main characters Matt and Wyatt robbed a man’s house to get back a ferret. If I were to pick one juicy word for this book it would be MARVELOUS because of its detail and great illustrations. I hope you go to a local book store or online to order The Worst Night Ever because it is truly amazing.

Minty’s The Horse and His Boy Blog Book Review

Minty’s The Horse and His Boy Blog Book Review

Title of Book: The Horse and His Boy
Author of Book: C.S. Lewis

# of pages: 241
# AR points: 8                        RL: 5.8

The Horse and His Boy is a very enjoyable book. I like The Horse and His boy because I like adventure and excitement. There is one thing I would like to change about the book: Bree and Hwin  should have gotten married like Shasta and Avaris. The problem in the book is that a man named Rabadash is trying to conquer Narnia and I would solve that problem by getting Aslan of course (Aslan is the one who made all the talking animals like Bree and Hwin). A juicy word to describe  the book is excitable because every turn of a page it is an adventure, and when you finish it you are going to want more! So, I suggest if you read The Horse and His Boy  and like it, you should read the rest of the series!

Catch That Pass

Title of Book: Catch That Pass

# of pages: 110
# AR points: 2.0                     RL: 5.4
              In Catch That Pass, there was a boy called Jim who could be a quick and  strong linebacker who had good hands but there’s one problem: he was afraid of being tackled.  His teammates are disgusted at him and his older brother, the coach, is disappointed. I loved the book because it was exciting and most chapters end on cliff hangers. I would change Catch That Pass and I would call it  Will He Make It . To solve the problem, I  would go to camps and have private lessons for football. If I could use one word to describe the book, I would use enticing because there is a lot of action. If you like football, I recommend Catch That Pass.

                                                      





Lost In Ireland

Lost In Ireland Review
Name of Reviewer: Sophia
Title of Book: Lost In Ireland
Author of Book: Cindy Callaghan
# of pages: 198 pages
# AR points: 5 pts                              RL: 4.0

Lost in Ireland is a very good book to read for people who like adventures. I don’t like this book; I love it.  A girl named Meghan McGlinchey receives a good luck chain letter. If she wants to have good luck for the rest of her life, she has to send a letter to 3 other people but instead she emailed it. I would not change anything about this book because it’s so good and I love all the things the author wrote. If I were a character in the book, I would have done the same thing that Meghan did because it is  a great way to solve the problem and by doing it the correct way gave her an oppurtunity to make it fun. If I could pick one juicy word to describe the book, it would be adventure because that is what the book is all about. I recommend Lost In Ireland to people who take risks and love adventures.

# AR points: 7                                     RL: 4.4 MG
           

            The book PLAYING CUPID  is an amazing book I think you all will love. I liked this book because it was very heart warming. It is about Clara Martinez who loves to make love matches at the mall. Once she sees two people she thinks will hit it off, she asks three questions and “BAM!” they are a couple. I would not change one part of this book because it is perfect. She finds her friend is struggling to be popular so she tries to put her with a popular boy. I would have solved this problem of trying to keep my friend popular by not caring if my friend is popular or not. I would only care that we would still be friends with them. One juicy word I would use is lovely; I think it fits this story wonderfully. If you like books about romance, surprise  and excitement, then PLAYING CUPID  is the book for you.

             Riding Freedom is tale of the first woman to vote in the U.S.A who dressed up as a boy and lost sight in one eye. Charlotte is a 12 year old escapes an orphanage, dresses up as a boy and when she’s 18 votes!   I like this story because it’s about a girl who gets herself some new laws.  12 year old escapes an orphanage, dresses up as a boy and when she’s 18 votes!  Exciting is one word to describe Riding Freedom because something exciting is always in store for Charlotte.  I would not change anything about Riding Freedom because I think it’s a  wonderful book. Charlotte’s problem is that women aren’t aloud to vote, drive stage coaches or do more fun things. Charlotte solves this problem by dressing up as a man Read Riding Freedom and find out what Charlotte is up to.
