If you like spies and suspense, you have to read Spy School Revolution because every page you turn you learn something new about the book.  Like one page you're reading about breaking into  Mount Vernon and the next page you're running away from someone in a carriage.  If I were the author, I would change the way they broke into Mount Vernon because they only used a boat and it would be more impressive if they used a submarine. If I were a character,  I would solve the problem by reviewing the footage of Erica shooting at the CIA headquarters.  If I could pick one juicy word I would pick entertaining because there are twists and turns to the story.  After reading this review, I hope you want to read Spy School Revolution soon.

 THE CAY is one of the best books I have ever read because of how many things just keep happening.  I liked this book because it is happy and sad at the same time and it is so fun to read!  If I were the author, I would change the part that Timothy dies because Timothy and Phillip were really amazing friends.  If I were a character in the book, I would have not gone on the S.S Hato because then Timothy and Phillip wouldn't have got stuck in the middle of the sea.  If I were to choose one juicy word to describe the book, it would be friendship because Timothy and Phillip had such a great relationship.  I would highly recommend THE CAY to anyone who likes friendship and adventure books.  It is a great book!

Timmy Failure Now Look What You’ve Done is a funny book about a kid that runs a detective agency with his pet polar bear.  I really like the book because I love how Timmy is really serious about his detective agency even though everybody thinks it is a game.  If I could change a part in the book, I would change that he is late to give his answer for the detective contest because I don’t like when things go wrong.  I would solve the problem by embarrassing Scutaro Holmes so he wouldn’t enter the contest.  If I could pick one juicy word to describe the book, I would choose wild because of everything that is happening.  If you love funny and mysterious books, Timmy Failure Now Look What You've Done is my recommendation for you.

Property of the Rebel Librarian is the perfect book for girls that like to read. This book is about a girl named June, who loves to read. Her school bans her from reading, because her parents caught her reading a “scary” book. If I was the author, I would change the part that Graham (the boy she has a crush on) caught her when she was falling, because it is awkward to read. If I could be a character from the book, I would be June, and I would explain to my parents that what they are doing is unfair. If I could pick one juicy word to describe this book, it would be inspiring because it inspires kids to change things in the world they think is unfair (I don’t mean you can start a tantrum if your parents say you can’t have ice cream). I hope you are convinced about reading Property of the Rebel Librarian, because if not, you are missing out on an amazing book.

Cheese is an amazing book, and I would recommend it to anybody who is looking for a new book with adventure and fun. It is about a boy named Oggie Cooder, who charves ( carves cheese) and his classmates think it is weird until he becomes famous. If I were the author, one thing that I would  change  would be that Donnica, a girl who is mean to Oggie, did not have any friends and everybody was mad at her. If I were a character in the book, I would be Oggie and solve the problem by just being honest and saying I did not want to be famous instead of not saying it and letting it get worse. If there is one juicy word I would use to describe the book, it would  be interesting because I wanted to keep on reading the book every day. Overall, I would highly recommend Cheese to anybody because I think it is a great book for everyone who wants to be entertained and for people who want to laugh.

Timmy Failure: The Cat Stole My Pants is a great book,  it makes you want to continue reading because it is funny, mysterious and has pictures on almost every page.  I liked the book because it is hilarious and I wanted to keep reading. If I were the author, I would change the part where Timmy was vomiting on the boat because it is gross and there was basically no point in it.  If I were a character in the book, I would have been Timmy and solved the problem by letting Total and Emilio do all the work.  If I could pick one juicy word to describe the book, it would be amusing because the book is very funny and interesting.  Timmy Failure: The Cat Stole My Pants is one of the best books I have read in my opinion, and I would read it again anytime.

Keeper Of The Lost Cities is a great action-packed and adventurous book.  I liked the book because it has action, adventure, mystery, and every chapter ends in a great cliff hanger.  If I were the author, I would change (SPOILER ALERT!!!) the part of the book that Dex doesn’t like to be a technopath (a special ability that makes you really good with technology).  If I was Dex, a character in the book, I would solve the problem that I didn’t like being a technopath by overcoming my fear and telling everyone.  If I could pick ONE JUICY WORD to describe the book, it would be extraordinary because the characters have such exciting lives.  Even though it looks long, You will not be able to put the book down.  If you like action, adventure, and mystery, you should definitely read Keeper Of The Lost Cities.

I liked a book called Poached That is about a kid named Teddy who is solving crimes but  people always think it is him doing the crime.  If I was the author, I would change the part where Teddy was accused of stealing the koala because Marge yells at Teddy so much. If I was Teddy, I would have solved the problem by looking at the clues and knowing who stole the koala.  If I could pick one juicy word  to describe the book, it would be action because  there is a lot of action in the book. So if there is a book I would recommend you  read, it would be Poached.

I liked Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince because it was full of adventures and mysteries. If I was the author, I  would change the part where Dumbledore died because he did not deserve to die.   If I was Harry,(I am not a boy by the way) I would save Dumbledore and block the curse.  I would also follow the Death Eaters ( death eaters are on voldemort's side/bad guys) to Voldemort and kill him.  If I could pick one juicy word to describe the book, it would be magical  because in the book the school is called “School of Witchcraft and Wizardry/ Hogwarts”.  Overall I loved Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince  because it is a very thrilling 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!

 All Four Stars is an amazing book about a girl named Gladys Gatsby that loves to cook but there are twists and turns. I loved All Four Stars because it is  a very adventurous and  interesting book, Gladys doesn't tell her parents about her undercover job as a food critic. If I was the author, I would’ve given Gladys some more  friends, because it would’ve been more mysterious to see if she told her friends about her secret job. If I was a character in the book , I would’ve chosen Gladys to solve the problem about the New York Standard by calling them as soon as they emailed me. I would call them because she got herself into her dream job but nobody knows that it’s her Gladys Gatsby, a child. If I could pick one juicy word to describe All Four Stars, I would choose adventurous and secretive because there are a lot of adventures and Gladys has to keep a lot of secrets. If you like adventurous , addicting, and awesome books then All Four Stars is just for you.

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 Treasure Hunters  is a book with mystery, action, and humor! I liked the book because it was full of cliffhangers, and it took me into this world where anything is possible. If I were the author, I would change when the big storm caused the Lost (the ship) to fill with water because the Lost would get damaged. If I were a character in the book, I would have solved the problem by giving the location of the bad guy to the CIA so they could arrest the bad guy. If I could pick one JUICY WORD to describe the book, the word would be adventurous because the book is full of adventure and action. If you like mystery, action, adventure, and humor, I personally advise you to stop what you are doing and read TREASURE HUNTERS!

The Invention Of Hugo Cabret is an amazing and adventurous book. It is one of my favorite books ever, because it is a page turner and makes me want to read more. If I was the author, I would change that something happened to Hugo earlier than it happened in the book so there can be more action and adventures.  If I were a character in the book, I would’ve solved the problem by helping Hugo escape his problem earlier.  If I could describe the book in one juicy word, it would be adventurous because there is always an adventure going on.  The Invention Of Hugo Cabret is a great book for all of those reasons and many more! I would definitely recommend this book to anybody who is searching for a book to read!

The Invention of Hugo Cabret is both mysterious and adventurous.  I loved Hugo Cabret because it includes detailed illustrations that are drawn realistically, and it gives the reader the feeling of suspense and exhilaration every time you see Hugo narrowly escaping danger.  If I were the author, I would change the part where Hugo’s father dies in the museum because it’s just too devastating.  If I were Hugo, I would have solved my father’s death by going around town and asking everyone if they knew my father and see if they gave me any clues.  One juicy word to describe the book would be THRILLING because there is always tension, suspense, and excitement in what’s going to happen in the next page.  The Invention of Hugo Cabret is by far the most brilliant book ever written without question in which you could reach enlightenment for the abundant and rich experience reading it.  So, that’s why I would highly recommend reading The invention of Hugo Cabret.

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!

        I think Reformed is an amazing book so you should try it out.

I liked it because it was an adventure book and that is my favorite type of book.

If I could change one part of the book, I would change the part where they put cheese

in the book and they should have put nothing.  If I were ash Alva and Jermy to stop putting cheese in the book.

 If I could choose one juicy word to describe the book, I would choose crazy because something was always going on.

 I think if you like adventure books Reformed would be a good book for you.

Stefano's Book Review on The Marvels:

Blog Book Review

Name of Reviewer: Stefano Kruger. 

Title of Book: The Marvels.

Author of Book: Brian Selznick.

Illustrator of Book: Brian Selznick.

# of pages: 603.

# AR points: 6.0                           RL: 4.6

https://www.amazon.com/Marvels-Brian-Selznick/dp/0545448689/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=the+marvels&qid=1575477784&sr=8-5

The Marvels is a mysterious, plot twisting, and shocking book all at the same time. From the heartbreaking shipwreck of 1766 to the burning of the Royal Theater in 1900, this book, no matter what genre you’re into, is the book for you. I would say the book is a very unique book, but every book has something to correct, even the Lord of the Rings. Brian Selznick has a passion for using big words, and that’s not bad. The problem is that he uses words that some people don’t understand. Words like rubbish, and plaque are very unfamiliar to other people. But overall, the book is really amazing. If I were Brian Selznick, I would change the part where Joseph runs away from St. Anthony’s because in my opinion, it’s a pretty stupid idea to run away from your school just because you want to find your best friend, Blink, who left the school. I would certainly not do that! If I were Joseph in the Marvels, I would solve the mystery of the Marvels family similar to how Joseph did, but I would solve it in a less adventurous way, because I find stealing the tapes, and going all the way to the way to the Royal Theater just tiring. What I would do is I would slowly make uncle Albert gain my trust, and then I would ask him all about the Marvels. What Joseph did in the book was he annoyed uncle Albert to the point that uncle Albert just didn’t trust Joseph. If I could pick one juicy word to describe the Marvels, it would be page-turning. Brian Selznick has this ability to always make the reader turn the page. I have only read the Marvels, but I know I’ll be reading The Invention of Hugo Cabret and Wonder Struck very soon! So whatever book you’re going to read next, I just hope you consider reading The Marvels. Trust me, you won’t regret it!
