Riding Freedom is an awesome book. There is a girl named Charlotte and she is so persistent  in everything she does. I love the book because Charlotte is strong, persistent, and not afraid to do  anything. I would change the part that her mom and dad dies because It is so sad. If I were a character I would be Vern and ask to go with Charlotte to California. The one juicy word I would pick to describe the book  be persistent because Charlotte, Hayward and Vern are persistent. You should read Riding Freedom because it is so good and I like it a lot.

Riding Freedom is a thrilling, action book about a girl that ran from the orphanage and, that broke the unfair law that woman can’t vote and was the first woman to vote. 

I liked this book because you never know what’s going to happen next.  
I would change the part that Hayward gets adopted because it is sad for the readers and I think Charlotte has a lot of problems already.
If I had to solve Charlotte problem of finding a place to sleep when she slept in the barn, I would go sleep in the library.
I would chose the word Unpredictable. Because you never know what will happen.
      You should read Riding Freedom if you want to be shocked and amazed.

Riding Freedom is a story about a girl who took many risks which payed off at the end of the story. I liked the book very much because I am a person who likes adventures and Charlotte goes through a lot of adventures. If I would change anything about the story I would not make almost everybody in the story something bad happening to them. If I was a character in the book I would solve the problem by working as hard. If I could pick one juicy word to describe the book, I would say adventure because Charlotte goes through a lot of adventures. I hope you will read Riding Freedom to learn about Charlotte and her  AMAZING adventures .

            The book Riding Freedom is one of the best books I have read with one of the bravest characters I have ever read about. I liked the book so much because I could not put it down. If I could change a part of the book, it would be the part where Freedom died because it was very sad. If I were a character in the book I would have solved the problem by having Charlotte tell William to stop picking on her. If I could pick one good word to describe the book, it would be astonishing because it really describes the book. I would really recommend the book Riding Freedom to you because it is one of the best books.

Riding Freedom is a great book because each time I finish reading a chapter I want to keep reading the next chapter! I loved this book because it is interesting and the book is historical fiction. If I were the author, I would change the part were Vern dies because I think the book should end with a happy ending. If I was a character the book, I would off stayed with Vern to confort him and give him medicine. One juicy word I would pick to describe this book is adventure because Charlotte has many challenges in her life. Riding Freedom is a great book and I highly recommend, if you like reading books!

Riding Freedom is a thrilling story about a girl trying to get to her freedom.I like the book because it has a lot of adventures and I like reading about adventures.The part of the book I would change is Vern dying because he is a very imporant character in the story and should live until the end of the book.If I were a character from the book, I would have solved the problem by telling all the women to protest and make the men very uncombfortable so that they would let the women vote.One juicy word to describe the book would be persistent because the main character and other characters from the book were very persistent.I think Riding Freedom was an amazing book, and I think that everyone should read it.

Riding Freedom is about a girl named Charlotte who escapes an orphanage.  I liked the book because I like horses.  If I were the author I would change Charlotte getting kicked in the eye because it is sad moment in the story.  If I were Charlotte I would solve the problem of getting blind in 1 eye by practicing driving a stagecoach.  One juicy word about to describe Riding Freedom is awesome because the book is filled with awesome events.  I recomend Riding Freedom because it is a great book.

I think you should read Riding Freedom  because it is about a girl named Charlotte whose parants died and she escapes an orphanage.  Whether you liked the book or not and why  loved this book because it has a lot of drama and horses .  If I where the author of this book, I would change the part where Miss Boil hides Charlotte in the potato bin because I think it is like child cruelty.  If I where a character in this book I would tell the police that they where lying and doing child cruelty.  If I picked a juicy word for the book, it would be outstanding because it had a lot of drama.  I recommend Riding Freedom if you like adventures and historical fiction.

I would recommend Riding Freedom to anybody. It is one of the best books I have ever read. It is about a girl who is at an orphanage because her parents died when she is little and she goes through many adventures and she does something very important at the end! I like the book A LOT because I think the book can be very exiting when you are listening close. If I was the author I would change how Hayward looks because Hayward does not look that good. If I was Vern, the way I wouldve made Freedom not die by giving her unlimited Pepto-Bismol.                                                The word I would choose would be astonishing because it describes exactly how the book is start to finish such as: Charlotte moving to California, Hayward meeting Charlotte in California, ect. My final remarks are: If you read Riding Freedom,  you will  always love it  no matter how many times you re-read it.

     If you like cliff hangers and crazy adventures, Riding Freedom is the book for you! I liked the book because it was filled with excitement and fun. If I was the author I would change the way Charlotte escapes; it would be more interesting if she escaped with a horse. If I was Charlotte, I would’ve tried to convice Hayward’s family into letting me be adopted too. This would be important to me because Charlotte wouldn’t be split up. One juicy word that would describe RF is enthusiasm because the story is very exciting. Riding Freedom is an amazing book; I hope I read more like this!

Riding Freedom is an excellent book! Everyone that loves horses is in for a treat. Even if you don’t like horses, this book will still be a perfect pick for you guys. The story is about a girl that is full of exciting adventure. I loved the book Riding Freedom because the book is full of detail and juicy adjectives. My favorite part of the book was when Charlotte ran away from the orphanage because her friend got adopted and she was not allowed to work with the horses. One juicy word I would pick to describe the book is emotional because the story is kind of sad. One part of the book I would change, if I was the author, is that Charlotte didn’t get kicked in the left eye by a horse because I wonder what else Charlotte would have been nicknamed. I recommend you read Riding Freedom because you can learn about a bunch of words that are not as simple as roof.

Sienna's book review on Arf



Name of Reviewer: Sienna
Title of Book: Arf
Author of Book: Spencer Quinn
# of pages: 293
# AR points: 8 points             RL: 4.1
Book is found in Miss Q’s Library

            Arf  is a great book with twists and turns and also many mysteries which is one of my favorite things about the book Arf is my all time favorite book because you think that there won’t be a happy ending but it ends up great. I liked the book because it had many different things that were all somehow related and things happen that you think could never happen. One part I would change is when Birdie had to lie to her mother so she could keep safe because it’s bad to lie to your mother and because she felt very bad about it. I would have solved the problem by kicking the bad guy and running away with Bowser. One JUICY word I would use to describe Arf is outstanding because so many different things happen that are solved in such great ways. The last thing I want to say about Arf is that I think this book is good for anyone, but I would mainly recommend this book to people who like dogs, mystery, and adventure.

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.

Timmy Failure Mistakes Were Made is about a boy who runs a detective agency. Timmy Failure has a pet polar bear named Total, and he is Timmy’s partner. Timmy’s best friend is Rollo Tookus and his Timmy’s enemy is Corina Corina.  I like Timmy Failure because I like  books that make me laugh. Timmy is always very busy trying to solve mysteries and getting into trouble, which  makes the book very interesting. The one part of the book  I would change is that the author uses very big vocabulary words.  I would solve this problem by using words that most kids would understand.  One word I would use  to describe this book is hysterical. If you want to laugh a lot, you must read Timmy Failure Mistakes Were Made!   Humorous,Historical,entertaining,Timmy Failure Mistakes Were Made,Stephan Pastis

Panda-Monium is about a Panda named Li Ping who is stolen from a trailer coming to FunJungle and Teddy Fitzroy must crack the case and find the very expensive panda. I liked Panda-Monium because it had mystery and you never want to stop reading it. I wouldn’t change anything because it is an amazing book. If I was a character in Panda-Monium, I would not have been able to solve the problem because the robbers did an amazing job. One juicy word that describes the book is unpredictable because you can’t predict anything. I recommend Panda-Monium to anyone who likes mystery because this book has a lot of mystery.

           The Stars of Summer is a beautifully writen book that I enjoyed a lot, which is also the sequel to All Four Stars. I liked this book because it has to do with secrets and involves  food, one of my favorite categories. If I could change one part of the book, I would change the romantic part at the restaurant because I don’t really enjoy romance. If I was Gladys, I would have solved the review problem by doing the first review that her editor e-mailed her and I would of ignored the second e-mail. If I could chose one juicy word to describe this book, I would choose the word risky because I think Gladys does a lot of risky things. I totally enjoyed The Stars of Summer and I recommend you read it.

If you like mystery books, you will absolutely love The Miserable Mill  because it is all about  mystery. I adore The Miserable Mill because it always leaves you on a cliffhanger when the chapter ends which makes me yearn to read more. If I were the author, I would change the place the Baudelaire children are heading because it had nothing to the with the series. If I were a character in the book, I would avoid going to the lumber mill and go to a safe place where the Baudelaires wouldn’t get hurt. If I had to pick one word to describe the book, it would be mysterious. So, if I were you, I would check out The Miserable Mill right away.

I loved The Wild Robot ; it is my favorite book I have ever read this story is about a robot who fell off a cargo ship and made a new life in the wild, he made family and friends. I loved The Wild Robot  because it is so adventurous and you don’t know what’s going to happen next. One part I would change is the sad part. If I was Brightbill, I would have solved the sad part by leaving the garden and going to the barn. If I could pick one juicy word to describe this book, it would be unpredictable because you don’t know what Roz will do next! If I was you, I would read The Wild Robot as the first book you read in Miss. Q ‘s class.

This Journal belongs to Ratchet is a spectacular book that everyone in the world should read. I LOVE this book because there is so many details and you never want to stop reading it. I would not change any part of the book because I think the author wrote it perfectly and if she changed any part the book, it would not be the same. If I were Ratchet, I would have solved the problem of her not having any friends by inviting some kids that lived near her, instead of waiting to make a friend. If I could pick one juicy word to describe this book, I would pick fantastic because when I finished the book all I could say was that this book was fantastic. If you love exciting books with a little bit of sadness, you should read This Journal Belongs to Ratchet an astonishing and wonderful book.

This Journal Belongs to Ratchet is an outstanding book for all ages. It is about a girl named Ratchet who’s dad is very unusual. Also, her mom passed away but there is more to the story that she wants to find out about. I loved this book because Ratchet never gave up on anything or anyone. If I were the author I would change absolutely nothing because she made it so interesting and I did not want to stop reading. If I was Ratchet, I would have solved the problem how she did because it was the right thing for her to do. If I could pick one juicy word to describe the book, it would be interesting because the book never stops getting good. I recommend This Journal Belongs to Ratchet to anyone who likes mystery and fascinating books.
