Hugo Cabret Book Review

                                                    



Name of Reviewer: Cristian
Title of Book: The Invention Of Hugo Carbret
Author of Book: Brian Selznick

Book is found in Miss Q’s Library
If you like adventures , clock work, and wonders, then The Invention Of Hugo Cabret is the book for you.  I like the book because it has wonderful drawings and has a great wonder that leads to everything in the whole book.  If I was the author, I would change the part when Hugo looses his father because I think he does not deserve that.  If I was a character in the book, I would have solved the problem by finding every screw and bolt until it made the robot work.  If I could pick one juicy word to describe the story, it would be remarkable because this story is a magical and is a great adventure.  The Invention Of Hugo Cabret has been a great part of my life and I hope you will enjoy reading it.

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.

Jilly's review on The Wish Stealers


 

 Jilly’s book blog review

            May your wishes come true if you read the book The Wish Stealers. The Wish Stealers is about a girl named Griffin Penshine; she loves to make wishes every chance she gets. One day when she goes to the store an old woman gives her a penny and makes her “The Wish Stealer.” I liked reading this book because I always wonder what happens to your wishes, and now I know. If I were the author, I would not change anything because I love the story with the curse and Griffin and… everything else. If I were Griffin, I would have solved the problem the way she did by returning the wishes because I would feel bad tricking someone into becoming the wish stealer. One word to describe this book is extraordinary because The Wish Stealers truly is a special book because of the way that the curse happened. With all do respect though, I’m not forcing you to read it, after all it’s just my favorite wish.

Anna Sofia`s Review on Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Name of Reviewer: Anna Sofia
Title of Book: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Author of Book: J.K. Rowling
# of pages: 734
# AR points:    32                                RL: 6.8

                             Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire  is a book full of mysteries and adventures. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is filled with dragons, blast-ended scwrets, and more interesting creatures. I liked Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire because a lot of people kept secrets and were going undercover. If I had to change a part in the book, I would change nothing because it kept me at the edge of my seat the whole way through. If I was the character in the book, I would have solved the problem like Harry did and listen to the ghosts. If could pick one juicy word to desscribe the book, I would pick covert because as I said before, lots of people keep secrets and go undercover. I recommend Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire book to people who like mysteries and fun.

Anna Sofia`s Harry Potter and Sorcerer`s Stone Book Review

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer`s Stone Book Review

Title of Book: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer`s Stone
Author of Book: J.K. Rowling
# of pages: 309 pages

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer`s Stone was an exciting, magical, and adventurous novel.  I liked the book because this book takes place in 2 worlds: the wizard world and the muggle world, A.K.A human world. In this book I would change nothing because Harry Potter and the Sorcerer`s Stone was an amazing novel.  I would have solved the problem like the way Harry Potter did except being a little more honest.  If I could pick a juicy word to describe the book, I would pick enchanting because this book was very magical.  If you like  The Sorcerer`s Stone , you will also like the rest of the series!
