Gabriel's Book Review Treasure Hunters Danger Down the Nile

 Treasure Hunters Down The Nile is a story with a lot of adventure, sadness, humor and a lot of other juicy happen. I think you should read this book if you like adventure because Tim, Storm, Bick and Beck go everywhere to go save their mom and dad. It feels like you are going on the adventure with them. The kids lost their parents but they already learned how to survive without parents so they go on a journey to save their mom and dad.  I think this book is perfection because it has adventure. If I was the author, I would give a little summary of the third book. If I had to solve the problem about losing my parents  I would do the same thing as Bick.  Remember, if you like adventure, go on www.amazon.com and buy the Treasure Hunters Series!

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.

I loved reading Neil Flambe and the Marco Polo Murders because the book is about a mystery
about many chefs dying around town.  If you like food you will love this book. I would not change anything in the book because If I was in the book I wold have solved the problem just like Neil
because he was very clever. A word that describes Neil Flambe and the Marco Polo Murders is delicious

because the whole book is related to food. If you love food you have found the perfect series to read.

       Have you ever read the most imposing book? This book is about a kid named Bickford Kidd, his twin sister Beck, his other sister Storm and brother Tommy. I like this book because it has very good pictures and is funny. The Kidds parents dissappeard in Cypress and one went overboard but the Kidds still belive they think they are alive. The Kidds go on a adventure were the Kidds go broke and they have to go to were all their $ is. I would not change anything because they are way smarter than me. I would solve the problems by doing the exact same thing. I would give Treasure Hunters the word imposing because it is very intresting. I don’t want to spoil Treasure Hunters so, I will say no more.

If you want to laugh your heart out and have a good time or if your that person who likes to laugh a lot, then Diary of a Wimpy Kid Old School is the book for you. I warn you once you start reading, you will never stop. I loved this book because I like to read funny books. If I were the author of this book, I would change the end because it is weird and confusing. If I were a character in this book, I would have blamed the grandpa for crashing the car.  I would describe this book with one word it would be ridiculous because the book is so funny. After you read Diary of a Wimpy Kid Old School  try reading the other 9 previous books of the series because you will laugh so much.




Katarina's A Night Divided book review

Name of Reviewer: Katarina

Title of Book: A Night Divided

A Night Divided is about a girl named Gerta whose family gets divided overnight by the Berlin Wall. She sees soldiers trained to shoot anyone who tries to escape. When she sees her dad doing a dance on the other side of the wall, she thinks he is trying to tell her to escape. Would she risk her life to get to the other side of the wall? I love A Night Divided because it is adventurous and intense and books like that are intriguing to me. I would not change a thing about what Gerta did because she always thought about family first and what she did was so smart. If I could change one thing about the book, I would keep writing at the end and tell what they did and what school she was going to go to and so on. My one juicy word is intense because she was in so much danger but she kept on going. If you like intense and adventurous books, A Night Divided is for YOU!!!

   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 .

Carlos' Pie book review

The book Pie is the most intriguing book I have ever read. I loved this book because with every page you turn you find a new mystery. It is about an awesome aunt that has won 14 Blueberries, an award for making delicious pies, that has just died and left her recipe to her cat, Lardo. She also left her cat Lardo to her niece Alice. Will people try to steal Lardo and try to get the recipe to win a Blueberry and become rich? If I were the author, I would change the part when Lardo got put to sleep by sleeping powder. I would change it to Lardo getting tranquilized and falling asleep. If I were Alice, I would have solved the problem by going to the police first and not trying to solve who wanted my Aunt Polly’s pie recipe by myself. If I would to describe this book with a juicy word, it would be breathtaking because Pie is full of breathtaking recipes and mysteries. If you read Pie, you will change the way you think of pies forever and ever!!!
