Joshua Dread, Lee Bacon

Posted by

Joshua Dread is a great adventure book with action packed exploding superpowers and super heros. I would recommend this book to eight and up.

The book is about Joshua and his parents who are villains then he figures out he has a superpower and meets a girl who has a superpower but her dad is a superhero and Joshuas parents and the girl Sophies dad are rivals.

I would recommend this book a 4 out of five stars because the plot kept making me want to read it and they had good cliff hangers befor chapters started an in the next chapter you would figure out the cliffhanger.

The Tiger Rising, By Kate DiCamillo

Posted by

 My book is called The Tiger Rising by Kate DiCamillo. This book takes place in the misty Florida woods.The main characters in this book are Rob Horton and the tiger. The tiger is a character who does not show up a lot in the book because the tiger is mostly in Rob’s head. One important event is when Rob’s mother dies because when Rob’s mother die’s Rob’s mood and personality changed for the whole book. Another important event is when Rob meets a girl named Sistine Bailey on his first day of school. This is a important event because Sistine is helpful and gives Rob evidence in the whole book. I really enjoyed this book because I loved the description poetic words in the book. My favorite part of the book is when Rob meets the tiger because Rob says that he sees the tiger rising. I would recommend this book to somebody who likes poems and art because there is lots of poetic words and lots of art stuff in the book. For example there are  carvings of the tiger that they explain about.

I will rate this book four stars because I think the chapters were a little to short in this book but

any way it was a good book.

The Mouse and the Motorcycle is about a charming mouse named Ralph who lives in a hotel and a little boy named Keith who become friends over a toy motorcycle in the hotel in California. This peaceful story, toward the end transforms into an exciting adventure. an exciting part of the book is when Keith gives Ralph motorcycle. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes silly stories about friends who are an animal and a human. I liked this book and I hope you do too. I give this story five stars.

The Forgotten Door, By Alexander Key

Posted by

The Forgotten Door is a great adventure with many different twists keeping you on your toes.

 

Little Jon walks into a door/portal that sends him to a different planet (Earth). He falls and does not remember anything. But a family picks him up and drives him to their house and takes care of him. Later on they realize he can read minds and he tells people that in court when he gets blamed for stealing something. All of a sudden everyone wants to get a look at the mindreader. How will Little Jon get back to his own planet find out when you read it.

My favorite part is when everyone hears he’s a mind reader and gets scared.

Personally I did not enjoy the book so much.

I would rate this book 2 out of 5 stars.

I recommend this for 8 and up.

So if you like a cool adventure through space and a fun ending this is the book for you.

The Forgotten Door, Alexander Key

Posted by

The forgotten door by Alexander Key,is in my opinion a fairly good book. The main character Little Jon fell through a portal that had been closed for many years. He meets the Bean family who helps him and doesn’t give up. The setting of the book is in New York at about 1960. Throughout the book, the Bean family finds out some secrets about where Little Jon come from and what he can do.

My favorite part of the book is when Jon goes to court because I find it interesting when people find secrets.

I would recommend this book to people who like suspense and mystery with a little history.

I would rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

The Great Brain series By John D. Fitzgerald

Posted by

I recommend the Great Brain series to readers that like adventure. I recommend the Great Brain series because the characters do things a normal day person would not do. The story is based in a small town in Utah. The “Great brain” refers to a very clever boy who has two  brothers and a mom and a dad. The boy uses his cleverness get things from other boys that he otherwise would not get.So the book is about him and his brothers adventures. But sometimes he get in trouble with grownups for using his cleverness to get those things.So once again I reccomend the “Great Brain” siries to people that like adventure.

                                                I would rate this book 5 ***** stars

My book is called: This Book Is Not Good For You! By Pseudonymous Bosch. It is part of a series. The first book is called : The Name Of This Book Is Secret. The second book is called: If You Are Reading To Late. The fourth book is called: This isn’t  What it Looks Like. There is a fifth book.

The main characters are Cassandra, Cass for short, Max-Ernest (By the way that is one name) and Yoji, Yo Yoji is what  his friends call him. The setting is all over the place because it is an adventure/mysteries book. The bad people are called The Masters Of The Midnight Sun.The two main bad people are called Ms. Mavuis and Dr.L. You find out in the first book that they look like they are 20 but they are really 200. The club that Cass is in is called The Terces.
