Big Game is an awesome book and a big deal. I like the book because it’s full of suspense, action, and twists to the plot. If I could change something about the book, it would be that Chief Hoeneker was only a little mad when Teddy joined the investigation because it led to some dumb hatred between them. If I was a character in the book, I would be Teddy and I would have solved the problem by finding out who was helping the “poacher” trying to get the rhino horns. If I could pick one juicy word to describe Big Game, it would be suspense because the book keeps you on the edge of your seat all the way through. Big Game was definitely an amazing book, and I hope you will read it too!

Marcelo's Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Book Review



Name of Reviewer: Marcelo
Title of Book: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
Author of Book: J.K Rowling
Illustator of Book: Mary Grandpre
# of pages: 629
# AR points: 29                      RL: 6.9
Book is found in Miss Q’s Library


Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is one of the best Harry Potter books yet. I loved and hated the book because they destroyed a horcrux to weaken Voldemort and Dumbledore died. I would change the part where Dumbledore died. I would have killed Snape before he killed Dumbledore. If I could pick one juicy word to describe this book it would be devastating because it was a very sad book. That Harry Potter book will hook you the second you start reading it.

Carlos Three Musketeers' Book Review



Name of Reviewer: Carlos
Title of Book: Three Musketeers
Author of Book: Alexandre Dumas
# of pages: 700
# AR points:    42.0                             RL: 11.3
The Three Musketeers is a thrilling story made by Alexandre Dumas in 1844. The book has a lot of adventure like when D’Artangnan fights for Anne of Austria.
I really liked this book because there was always something going on in every page of the book.  One part I would change about this book is when D’Artangan duels against Aramis, Athos, and Porthos because they become really good friends. If I was D’Artagnan, I would have solved the problem by killing the Cardinal and the Duke of Buckingham. One juicy word I would pick about this book is adventurous because there is a lot of action. I really enjoyed The Three Musketeers and I think that you would too.

Luck Uglies Book Review


Name of Reviewer: Sindhu
Title of Book: The Luck Uglies
Author of Book: Paul Durham
# of pages: 387
# AR points: 12                                               RL: 5.5
           
            In a quaint, little cottage there lives an unusual, risk taking, little girl named Riley O’Chantler with her peculiar mother, who keeps a knife called Fair Warning in a sheath strapped to her thigh- don’t worry, that knife is used for cutting vegetables. . . mostly.  Riley’s little sister, Lottie, who is impossible to potty train, also lives with them and is a bit odd.  Riley had a father who supposedly was a solider and went to Beyond the Shale, a land that people get sucked into and once there, never return home.  Riley has a close encounter with a Bog Noblin, a huge, ugly, creature who eats children and collects their feet.  I loved The Luck Uglies because it was full of fantasy and adventure, drawing the reader’s imagination into a whole new world with Bog Noblins and mean kings.  If I were the author, I would better describe Beyond the Shale so that the reader would understand it clearly.  If I were Rye, I would most definitely make a hasty retreat instead of standing with my feet fixed to the ground and screaming when a Bog Noblin was about to eat me.  If I had to pick a word to describe this book, it would be fantasy because the tales in this book could never happen in real life . . . or could they?  I strongly recommend The Luck Uglies to you if you are the type of person to enjoy a little bit of terror mixed with mischief and adventure.
