If you love action and adventure, Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone is the  right book for you. I liked the book because it has lots of twists and turns, and I love action and adventure.  If I were the author, I wouldn’t change anything because Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is an amazing book. If I were Harry Potter, I would solve the problem by going to Dumbledore for information about how to get past the three headed dog in the first place. If I could pick ONE JUICY WORD to describe the book, I would pick adventure because this book has A LOT of adventure.  This book is amazing for all kinds of readers. I would suggest Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone to anyone I know that likes wizards and wizardry.

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!

Diego's book review for Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is a great book for readers who like reading Harry Potter because it is the longest Harry Potter book so it can keep you busy for a while. I am going to tell you a quick summary now. (SPOILER ALERT!) Harry nearly gets a girlfriend but fails. Harry and Cho are still sad about Cedric dying. Ron and Hermoine constantly get into fights. Luckily, there are also happy things like when George and Fred do their amazing escape and when Harry lets Ron join the quidditch team as a keeper. Ginny also joins. Sadly, the dreadful Professor Umbridge confiscates Harry’s broom halfway through the quidditch season. Read the book to find out more! I loved the book because it is very exciting and action packed. I would change when Harry breaks up with Cho if I was the author because I want to know what would happen if they became very close. If I was Harry, the way I would solve the problem of breaking up is by telling Cho that he really didn’t want to go to Hermione and ask if she could come to make it better. If I could pick one juicy word to describe the book, I would chose flirtation because the book is like a love story.I highly recommend to read Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix because it will brighten your day if you are having a rough time.

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.

              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.

The Charmed Children of Rookskill Castle


Name of Reviewer: Sindhu
Title of Book: The Charmed Children of Rookskill Castle
Author of Book: Janet Fox
# of pages: 388
# AR points: 12.0                                RL: 5.0
            Katherine Bateson, a young girl of 12, doesn’t believe in magic. During the Blitz, her great aunt gives her a chatelaine she claims is magical and Kat is sent to Rookskill Castle, a ‘safe place where there are no spies’. Kat starts doubting that magic isn’t real when she arrives, with the seemingly changing halls and the dissappearance of children, one by one. I loved this The Charmed Children of Rookskill Castle because it is filled with puzzles, and each page is filled with details more vivid than a movie.  If I were the author, I would not change any part of this book because if I did, the book would not be half as good as it is now. If I were Kat, I would have solved the problem differently, but I would not have been able to save the kids because Kat is much cleverer then I am. If I were to pick one juicy word to describe this book, it would be extraordinary because The Charmed Children of Rookskill Castle stands out from all the other books, with magic and Blitz spies. The Charmed Children of Rookskill Castle is a book for anyone of all ages.

Kat, Incorrigible


Name of Reviewer: Sindhu
Title of Book: Kat, Incorrigible
Author of Book: Stephanie Burgis
# of pages: 298
# AR points: 10. 0                               RL: 5.0

            Katherine Ann Stephenson has inherited her mother’s magic abilities, but all they lead her to is scolding from her evil stepmother; when she finds her mother’s magic mirror in the forbidden room in her house, she realizes that her magic is riskier than she thought.  I loved Kat, Incorrigible because it is so humorous and wonderfully detailed, like a slideshow of colorful words and pictures. If I were the author, I would not change one part of this book because if I did, it would knock out the smooth flow of words descending from the minds of the author. If I were Kat, I would have solved the problem the same way she did because   she did it so perfectly, with laughter, attitude, and good problem solving.  One juicy word to describe this book is captivating because it is very enticing and it is another one of those books that have super sticky pages; you can’t pry your fingers off. I think Kat, Incorrigible is a book for anyone of any age and hope you read and enjoy it.

Loli’s Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Book Review

           Loli’s Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Book Review
Name of Reviewer: Loli
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, the second book of the Harry Potter series, involves magic and mystery in the best way. The valiant Harry Potter is the main character, along with his friends Ronald (Ron) Weasley and Hermione Granger. Danger lurks around Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and Harry has to act because if he doesn’t, things could get really serious and dangerous. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets was very enjoyable and I simply adored it. The fact that I love mystery stories really helped me enjoy the book, but I think anyone would like it. I think Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets can’t be changed in anyway, because if somebody changed it, the mystery could be taken away. If I was a character from the book and had to solve the problem that children were turning in to stone, I would have tried to pay attention, very careful attention, to the things around me. I would do research and ask people questions to help me find out the answer. A little similar to what Harry Potter did. If I had to pick one word to describe Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets, it would be thriller because the book is very mysterious and exciting all at the same time. Overall, I really enjoyed reading the incredible Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and really recommend it to ages eight up.

                Amanda and Leo have been friends since they were babies and celebrated all their birthdays together but Leo says some mean words that Amanda overhears on their 10th  birthday.  I really enjoyed 11 Birthdays  because it was full of adventure and whenever I turned the page there was a new problem.  I would not change anything about this book  because I love all the twists and by changing something it would ruin one of the twists. If I were a character in 11 Birthdays, I would solve the problem the same way because there is no other way to solve it. One juicy word to describe the book would be MAGIC because they are repeating their birthday because of magic.  I could not put 11 Birthdays down because every time I turned the page I would want to read more!

Emilios kingdom keepers book review

Kingdom Keepers Blog Book Review

# AR points: 9 points                                      RL: 4.2


             ‘’Kingdom Keepers’’ was so fantastic that I just could not stop reading. I loved this book because witches, pirates, creepy dolls, and magic pens came ordanary desks it was all unexpected. I would not change anything because it was all epic. If I could be a character I would be Finn and I would not go following Maleficent to a creepy room because Finn almost died. I would pick the word epic to describe the book because everything was fantastic. I recommend ‘’Kingdom Keepers’’ to people  that like books about magic, mystery or Disney.

Andrew's Book Reveiw On Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is an adventurous story with magic, owls , and an elf.
I liked the book because I love sports and there is a sport in the wizard world called  Quidditch.  It  is a quick strategy sport with 4 balls and 7 people on each team. I would change the part of the book that Cedric died because Voldemort would kill him and I would like to keep him alive. The way I would change the problem in the strategy book is Harry would defeat Voldemort in the final challenge(the maze). I would describe  the book as adventurous because Harry Potter has to defeat Voldemort and he has to fight dragons, mermaids, and giant evil bushes to get to Voldemort. So, read the  legendary Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire read the rest of the series look at the rest of my book reviews  for more information about other Harry Potter books.
