A Long Way Home
Blog Book Review
Name of Reviewer: Andres
Title of Book: A Long Way Home
Author of Book: Saroo Brierley
# of pages: 288
At
only 5 years old, Saroo Brierly got lost on a train in India, and now he is
searching for his family on Google Earth. I loved A Long Way Home because it was a combination of action and a
biography and biographies are not usually this intresting. If I was the author,
I would leave the book just how it is because it was a perfect and nobody would
read it if I changed it. If I were Saroo, I do not think I could solve the
problem because my brain does not work as well as his. If I could describe the
book in one word, it would be journey to represent Saroo’s journey. I would
recommend A Long Way Home to anyone
who likes biographies and action.

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.

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.

InThe Reptile Room, the Baudelaire
children go through a seires of unfortunate events. I like the book because the
children were very smart. Violet liked to build things, Sunny liked to bite
things with her sharp teeth, and Klaus liked to read books. One thing I would
change in the story is that the children never have the bad events that happen
like them having to live with Count Olaf. I would solve the problem by proving
that Count Olaf was a bad person and then they wouldn’t have to live with him.
If I could pick one juicy word to describe the book, I would pick unpleasant
because most of the story bad events happen. If you do not like books about
horrible things happening, you shouldn’t read The Reptile Room.

The moment I read the first
sentence, I couldn’t put The War That
Saved My Life down until I finished reading the last sentence. I like this
book because it was filled with action and drama. If I wrote this astounding book, I wouldn’t
change a word. If I were the main character, ten-year-old Ada, I would have
also run away from her mam (mom), which does happen in the book. I would do
this because her mam keeps her in her room with a bucket. Her mam does this
because Ada has a hideous clubfoot; well, at least that’s what her mam says. Once
she runs away, Ada and her brother become evacuees and it gets much more
exciting by the second! Now, that they ran away during the war they have become
evacuees. One JUICY word to describe The
War That Saved My Life is flabbergasting and an addicting book because I
really couldn’t stop reading! I can’t wait for the sequel, The War I Finally Won. Will her mam come and get her back or will
she stay with the nicest caretaker, Miss Smith? Read The War That Saved My Life to
find out...

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!
Jilly's review on The Wish Stealers

Title of Book: The Wish Stealers
Author of Book: Tracy Trivas
# 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.
Jorgie's Review on Nickel Bay Nick
Blog Book Review

In Nickel Bay Nick, Sam
thought he was a freak, a nobody. When he was little he had a heart transplant,
his Dad’s bakery is bankrupt, and to top it all off, his mom is spending
Christmas with her new family. Sam thought he had the most boring and sad life
of all time until something happened that changed his life. I loved this book
because it has clever comedy, it’s jam-packed with action, and has a great
story. If I had to change something about the book, I would make Jax and Ivy
part of the team because both Ivy’s smarts and Jax’s way of replicating voices
could come in handy. If I were Sam, I wouldn’t do anything different because
one wrong move and his cover could have been blown. In one word, I would describe
this book as adrenaline because of all the close calls he had. Nickel
Bay Nick is amazing and I know you’ll love it as much as I did.

The Tapper Twins Go Viral might as well be the
funniest book I have ever read!! I loved this book because so much action goes
on and it is just plain hard funny. I would have changed nothing because I do
not want to ruin this book!! If I was Claudia, I would have made merchandise
and cookies for supporters because people wear merchandise everyday and almost
everybody likes cookies! One juicy word
for this book is humorous because this book has the best humor.
I recommend The Tapper Twins Go
Viral for people who just want a laugh!!

If you are interested in
books that make you fall off your seat when your reading, then Kira-Kira is the book for you. I love this book because
it is so addictive. If I were the author,
I would change that the parents are not from Japan but that they are from
China. If I were Lyn, I would have told my mom that I needed to see the doctor.
If I could pick one word to describe this book, it would be emotional because so many sad things happened . “ My parents said that slapping was
the first thing that you should never do. Stealing was second, and lying was
third. I have committed all of those crimes before I was twelve”. If you like
books that leave you anxious at the end of every page, then Kira-Kira is the book for you.
