Mac B. Kid Spy The Impossible Crime - Joaquin G.

Blog Book Review  

Name of Reviewer: Joaquin 

title of Book: Kid Spy The Impossible Crime

Author of Book: Mac Barnett  

Illustrator of Book: Mike Lowery

# of pages: 160

# AR points: 2.0                                  RL: 3.5

https://www.amazon.com/Impossible-Crime-Mac-Kid-Spy/dp/1338143689/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3


  If you're looking for a thrilling book then Mac B. Kid Spy: The Impossible Crime is a good book for you.  I like Mac B. Kid Spy: The Impossible Crime because it has a lot of cliffhangers at the end of each chapter.  I also liked the book because one of the characters is the Queen of England.  The only thing I would change is the part where Mac thinks that a carpet is a lion because it is kind of weird.  If I were the character in the book, I would have solved the problem when the snake got in his room and I would have just got on the bed so that the snake would not bite me.  A JUICY WORD to describe my book would be action packed with lots of mystery.  I like Mac B. Kid Spy: The Impossible Crime because it will make you want to be a spy.

Neil Flambe and the Marco Polo Murders is an amazing and a very interesting story  about a 14 year old chef called Neil Detective Nakamura are trying to solve the mystery of all the dead chefs in Vancouver, Canada. Neil Flambe and the Marco Polo Murders is an amazing book because you always thinks the murderer is one person but it is actually not. I would.  I would have solved the problem by collecting enough evidence to make it obvious. If I could pick one juicy word to describe the book, it would be page-turner because you always want to turn to the next page and keep reading. Neil Flambe and the Marco Polo Murders  is an amazing book if you like food and mysteries; I strongly advice that you read this book.

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!


Belly Up - By Sebastian V.

Book is found in Miss Q’s Library.

https://www.amazon.com/s?k=belly+up&ref=nb_sb_noss_1


Belly Up is one of my favorite book of all time about a boy named Teddy that has a lot of adventures with Summer McCracken. I really liked the book Belly Up. I really think it was interesting because Teddy and Summer have adventures to  figure out who killed Henry the Hippo. If I were the author, I would change the part that Henry dies. I would change that because in my opinion disappearing is more interesting than Henry dying. If I were Teddy, I would have looked in every camera in the park and seen who killed Henry or I would have heard the killer talking about killing Henry. If I could pick one jucy word, to describe the book I would choose  addicting because the author makes the reader just want to keep reading. I think Belly Up is the best book I have ever read. Because  It made me wonder about many things. If you like mysterious books, Belly Up is the right book for you.

The Lightning Thief Book Review By Ethan


Blog Book Review
Name of Reviewer: Ethan
Title of Book: The Lightning Thief
Author of Book: Rick Riordan
# of pages: 375
# AR points: 13.0                    RL: 4.7
Book is found in Miss Q’s Library
The Lightning Thief, is an awesome, interesting, adventurous, and a fantastic book because it taught me about all the greek gods and what they do.  One part I would change about The Lightning Thief would be when Grover leaves Camp Half Blood to find Pan. If I was Percy I would have solved the problem by staying with Annabeth and Grover because when they left percy alone a monster attacked him. If I could pick one juicy word to describe The Lightning Thief, it would be mysterious because Percy, Annabeth, and Grover do not know who stole Zeuses lightning bolt or the helm for Hades. The Lightning Thief is the best book I have ever read in my life!

Eleni's book review on Encyclopedia Brown: And The Case of The Secret Pitch


Name of Reviewer: Eleni
Title of Book: Encyclopedia Brown: And The Case of The Secret Pitch
Author of Book: Donald J. Sobol
# of pages: 88
# AR points: 1.0                                  RL: 4.1

                                If you like mysteries, Encyclopedia Brown is the book for you! Not only does is have amazing cases, but you can solve the cases yourself too! I love all the Encyclopedia Brown series because it is very exciting to know how  exactly Leroy ( A.K.A Encyclopedia ) solves all his amazing cases!  If I could change one thing in the book, it would be to have a lot more mysteries. If I were Leroy, I would open an office for him to solve cases, instead of solving them in his garage. If I could pick one word to describe the book, I would pick intelligent, because Leroy is a very clever boy. I hope that you are considering to read Encyclopedia Brown because, it is truly a good book!

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



Name of Reviewer: Diego  
Title of Book: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Author of Book: J.K. Rolling
# of pages: 870
# AR points:    44.0                 RL: 7.2
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.

Cryptid Hunters  has a lot to do with mysteries so, if you like mysteries, than I bet you a billion bucks you’ll love this book.  This book also has a lot to do with teamwork and dinosaurs.  I like mysteries, haunted and, spooky things.  I would change the part where it is just boring old Noah Blackwood jumps out of a helicopter and instead more action.  I would have solved the problem with Noah Blackwood and think of ways to make him forget about Wolfe  so he does not disturb Wolfe. One juicy word that can easily describe this whole book is  MYSTERIOUS.  This book is amazing I recommend it for you.  But remember if you like Mystories and prehistoric animals remember this might just be a tiny bit much of it in this book.

Name of Reviewer: Xavier
Title of Book: Jedi Academy: Return of The Padawan
Author of Book: Jeffrey Brown
# of pages: 176
# AR points:       2.0                                    RL: 4.2
Book is found in Miss Q’s Library
The FIRST thing you have to know about Jedi Academy Return of The Padawan is that it is the second book of the Jedi Academy series so you MUST read the first one in order to read the second one. I didn’t like it, I loved it because it has a lot of action. I wouldn’t change any part of the book because that would probably ruin it because it is so amazing. I would solve the problem by seeing what’s up with Gaiana. If I can pick ONE JUICY WORD, I would pick mysterious because the whole entire book was mysterious. I’m recommending Jedi Academy Return of The Padawan to all Star Wars fans.


Neil Flambe and the Tokyo Treasure book review by Sebastian

# of pages: 368
# AR points:       10.0                     RL: 4.7
Book is found in Miss Q’s Library    

                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.

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.

            Warning!!!  The following  summary of Treasure Hunters Peril at the Top of the World is a awesome book (best book of the series). I liked the book because I love adventure and mysterious books . If I had to change one part of the story, it would be when their dad left and when  he came back. If I were a character, I would solve the problem by being their dog so that I could get all the information they needed to get back their dad. If I had to pick the best word for this book, it would be mysterious because you would never know what might happen next.  I guarantee you will love Treasure Hunters Peril at the Top of the World because it will give you a laugh and, you will learn about these Kidds’ hysterical life.

Jilly's review on The Wish Stealers


 

 Jilly’s book blog review


Name of Reviewer: Jilly
Title of Book: The Wish Stealers
Author of Book: Tracy Trivas
# Of pages: 281
# AR points: 6                                     RL: 4.4 MG
Book is found in Miss Q’s Library

            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.

# of pages: 309 pages
# AR points:    12 points                                 RL: 5.5 



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!

Old School by: Grafton


Name of Reviewer: Grafton
Title of Book: Diary of a Wimpy Kid old School
Author of Book: Jeff Kinney
# of pages: 217
# AR points: 3                                     RL: 5.6
              
   Diary of a Wimpy Kid Old School is a great book. I liked Diary of a Wimpy Kid Old School because it is about a boy were everything in his life goes wrong . The part I would like to change is when Greg tries to make money by selling water to the volunteers at the park but they think it is for the plants.The thing I would change is them thinking the water is for plants to the buying his water to drink. If I was Greg I would have just made a water stand instead of bringing a wagon filled with water to the park. One juicy word is descriptive because it always has a good description of situations. Remember stay in school kids .
