Fablehaven is about a brother and sister (Seth and Kendra) that find a magic world. In the magic world there is a demon prison and the keys are artifacts that have magic powers. The enemy is the Society of the Evening Star and they are trying to open the demon prison. The artifacts/keys are hidden on places that hold magic animals called preserves. Seth and Kendra look for the artifacts to stop the Society of the Evening star from getting them. There are many preserves but five are secret and have artifacts in them. I would recommend this book to people that like fantasy and adventure. My favorite part would be a spoiler so I won’t say it. I rate this book 4 stars because it wasn’t funny enough.

Little House In The Big Woods By Laura Ingalls Wilder
Long ago a girl named Laura Ingalls Wilder lived in the big woods of Wisconsin in a little log house. She lived with her older sister Mary, her baby sister Carrie, and her ma and pa, and there watchdog jack. Back then kids used to call there parents ma and pa instead of mother and father. This book is about her and her life and how they lived back then. Laura is a energetic girl who loves to play and loves being with her family. Her older sister Mary is way more different then Laura, for example Laura loves playing outside and getting dirty but Mary likes to keep her dress clean and listens to her parents. Some parts of the book is really nice and mellow but some of the other parts really has alot of adventure. When you read this book you learn how they lived back then, like when Lauras pa goes out to hunt food or how they made food back then like what kind of materials they used. This book is also when Laura and Mary have new expierences like when Laura and Mary go to town for the first time. I would recomend this book to somebody who loves adventure and likes books about other people and how they lived. I would rate this book 5 stars because when i first looked at this book I did not want to read it, but when i had to read this book it was really good and one more reason why i loved this book is because that it was really cool how i learned how they lived back then and specificly how the author of this book lived.
Suzanne Collins’ MockingJay Book review
[WARNING:] [DO NOT READ THIS ARTICLE IF YOU HAVE NOT READ CATCHING FIRE:]
MockingJay is a very interesting book. I say that because last seen in Catching Fire, Katniss Everdeen almost gets herself killed and finds out that all of the people in the latest hunger games sacrificed themselves for Katniss not Peeta Mellark. Katniss made a deal with Haymitch to save Peeta instead of herself. Haymitch is a drunk man who is Katniss’ and Peeta’s tutor for the hunger games. The whole plot of MockingJay is to overthrow the Capitol. Peeta however, gets captured by President Snow, (an evil elderly man who rules the Capitol) at the end of Catching Fire. I felt that out of the three, MockingJay was the best because it throws a whole lot of information in the beginning of the book. A few people in the comments of my Catching Fire review said that I gave away too much, but this will be different because I am trying my hardest to not give “spoilers,” as you folk may say it. Anyway, The true core of the rebellion is District 13. That district is kept secret to all of the other districts because District 13 and the Capitol had a blackmail-like deal which if District 13 is kept secret to the other districts neither of them will attack each other. The Capitol does not attack District 13 because of their nuclear weapons… until now. I would give this book 5 out of 5 stars because as said before, I just simply love how Suzanne writes this novel with the storyline always from Katniss’ perspective. I would recommend this book for people who could handle or think they can handle the other books in the series (The Hunger Games and Catching Fire).
The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins
The Hunger Games is about a girl named Katniss Everdeen, from District 12, who volunteers for her sister’s place in the Hunger Games, because she doesn’t want her sister, Prim dieing.Katniss is brave, loyal, and protective Everyday before the Hunger Games, Katniss goes out hunting with her best friend Gale. This is an important part of the book because this is where she learns how to hunt and survive in the wild.The Hunger games is when they take one boy and one girl from each district and have them train and then fight to death with no food and water unless they can kill, gather, and find some. It is also on live tv! The competitors have to be between the ages 12-18. The Hunger Games takes place somewhere near the capital. How the kids get picked is, there is one big bowl thing. They have all the kids names in it whose ages are between 12-18 in that district. There is one for the girls and one for the boys. The boy from District 12, Peeta Mellark, is the bakers son. While the Hunger Games is happening, Peeta and Katniss become really good friends, and help each other live.
While they are competing in the Hunger Games the book says what is happening all around which I find helpful because you know what’s going on. It says what the gamemakers are doing, what the mentor is doing, what all the contestants are doing, and all the stuff you would need to know.
If I were you, I would read to find who wins. I would recommend the book to kids 9 and older because of the violence. I would rate the book infinity stars, but I can’t. I guess I’ll just rate it 5 stars, which is the most I can do. I would rate it infinity stars because it was amazingly plotted, and the text was in the right order which gave you a good picture of the book. It made me want to read more and more, and when I was done, I was sad. You should also watch the movie after you’ve read the book. If you liked the book as much as I did, you should read the second book, Catching Fire, and the third book Mockingjay.
Time Squared, Julia Devillers and Jennifer Roy
Time Squared is about two twins named Emma and Payton. A lot of other people get them mixed up and the only person that can tell the difference is their friend Tess. Sometimes they pretend to be each other and nobody knows. The two girls go to N.Y.C. for different reasons, they are stuck with a mean chaperone and they trade places.
There are a lot of obstacles in the way like two girls named Sydney and Jazmine that make fun of how they look alike.
This would be a good story for people who like when the book gets all mixed up and after gets back in order.
I would give this book 4 **** stars because it could be a little less mixed up and share the same information.
Hatchet By Gary Paulsen
HATCHET
by Gary Paulsen
I’m reading Hatchet by Gary Paulsen, the main characters name is Brian Robeson. The setting of this book is in a plane and the Canadian Wilderness. It is about a boy heading on a plain to see his father and he and the pilot are the only people on the plain something happens to the pilot but I wont say, and Brian lands where he does not want to and he has to survive alone. I did not enjoy the book very much if I were to rate it 1 to 5 I would say 2 or 3. My least favorite part about the book was hearing the gross juicey words about what happened to the pilot. I would recommend this book to people who like kind of an adventure story with sad and GROSS parts.
The Sisters Grimm by Michael Buckley.
This book is about two girls, Sabrina and Daphne Grimm whose parent disappeared and were sent to live . The last trace of the person who kidnapped their parents was a bright red hand print. This book has a lot of emotion because Sabrina has a lot of anger in her. Daphne is very inthusiastic about life while sabrina is a grump.
I give this story five stars.
In A Glass Grimmly by Adam Gidwitz
In A Glass Grimmly is a bloody but funny book about two twins named Jack and Jill. Jill is a princess, and Jack is a peasant and they both live in a kingdom called Märchen. The princess’ mother is obviously the Queen, and very pretty, but very rude. One day, before the Queen’s half birthday (it was the biggest holiday they celebrated, except the Queen’s real birthday), a silk weaver comes to make the Queen a dress, but it won’t fit. So he makes it for Jill. But Jill can’t see the dress. It’s invisible to her. What will happen when she wears it in front of the whole kingdom? Something strange happens to Jack also. What is it? Read the book to find out! I would definitely rate this book 6 out of 5 stars because the book is basically fairy tales, the GRIMM way. Also, it has a narrative voice, which I like. If you like really funny books, you should definitely read this book.
Allegiant by Veronica Roth
Allegiant is about a girl named Tris who used to live in a city that was divided into factions. This book is about her and her boyfriend, Four after they leave the city to see the outside world because the first tyrant, Jeanine gets overthrown. But the power just changes to the next tyrant, Evelyn who got rid of the factions. Evelyn tries to kill Tris and the Allegiant, a group of people who want factions back.
The Bureau of Genetic Welfare hate “genetically damaged” (people with damaged genes) and try to fix the genetically damaged by making experiments (cities with factions) namely the city Tris and Four lived in. Four, Tris’s boyfriend is genetically damaged (Tris isn’t genetically damaged), but doesn’t like it. If the experiments backfire the bureau resets the city with a memory serum so the experiments don’t all get shut down because if the government sees that the experiments don’t work all the experiments will get shut down.
At one point everyone in the city is about to die because the Allegiant are trying to kill Evelyn and the people that are with Evelyn. Evelyn has death serum and if she releases it everyone will die, so the bureau will try to reset the city. Tris and Four try to figure out how to stop everyone from dying without resetting them.I would recommend this book to people who like dystopian action books. I rate this book 5 out of five even though it is a little intense.
Insurgent By Veronica Roth
This book is great for kids ages 10 and up. It gives you a peace of your mind that you would never think of, it also warns you that the government is great. I also liked it because it is full of adventure it has guns in it though. So if you don’t want a hard core adventure book this book is not for you. I would not recommend this book to younger kids because it is kind of intense and it might get them to cries a little bit. I also want to tell you that it’s the second book in a trilogy. The first one is Divergent. The plot is that a faction over through the government, and the main character a girl named Tris and her friend Tobias have to return it to all the factions instead of just one. Will they win or will they lose and die, find out if you read this book. I give this book a five star rating, it also one a book award that is how good it is. Let its magic take over and read that trilogy now.
