The Wicked Wicked Ladies in the Haunted House

51sQ3KEDziL

by Mary Chase

 

Maureen who is the main character in the book I read is kind of a bully but only because people pick on her sometimes, she is also a very clever kind of girl who needs a lot of attention because she is always causing trouble.

 

So one day Maureen is walking along and takes her neighbor’s house because she is in a cranky mood and sprays her neighbor’s house with water and then Maureen’s neighbor comes out of her house and yells at her so she sprays her neighbor too. And her neighbor chases her but Maureen runs so fast that her neighbor can’t keep up with her.

 

Near by there was an old haunted house but Maureen did not know that so she ran into the haunted house and finds a magical feather bracelet and she takes it. The ladies who live in the house need that bracelet to do the magic they want to do so they send Maureen back in time to get the bracelet back.

 

It is a really magical wonderful story it is well written and I would rate my book 5 out of 5 stars.

 

Warriors by Erin Hunter

 

The book that I am reading is called Warriors  by Erin Hunter. If I were to rate this book on a scale of 1 to 10 it would be a 10. I would say this book is for a person who likes adventure. The book is about  fictional cats who live in the forest and do a lot of exploring that they should not be doing. The book is called Warriors because the cats start in the nursery and they rise up to be a warrior or a medicine cat. The main event aside from being a warrior is the main character Jaypaw is blind and he wants and he wants to become a warrior. I think the book was great and I highly recommend this book to everybody.

Lassie Come Home by Eric Knight

Lassie Come Home by Eric Knight

By Benjamin W-A

 

Lassie Come Home is the most wonderful book I have read so far.  I rate this book a 5. It is a book full of adventures.  I hope you like the review I wrote review and the book that I am “Advertising!”

The main character is dog, Lassie, from a very poor family and a very poor town in a county called Yorkshire that “has hills flowing with dogs.”  Every day Lassie would go to the school gate and wait for Joe the one kid in the family.  One day Lassie is not at the gate and Joe goes home and his parents tell him that they sold Lassie for 15 pounds (the money in Great Britain).  Lassie is very important to the town because she is like a clock when she goes to school.  She is the most beautiful dog in all of the county of Yorkshire which has “hills flowing with dogs”.   The Duke of Rudling tried to buy her, but Sam the owner of Lassie didn’t  sell her.  One day which happened to be this day  (that I’m telling you about) he sold her because he did not have a job and without a job then he could not feed his family nor his dog Lassie!

 

        So this book is about that and how she comes home but will she see them and will she make any friends or get hurt or will they take her?   if you read the book Lassie Come Home you will see what happens!  I rate this book a 5.  See you next time!

 

 

World’s Greatest Sports Team Rivalries. by Matt Christopher

Unknown This book is obviously about the greatest sports team rivalries. The setting is either:a hockey rink, a football field, a basketball court, or a soccer field, or a baseball field. I didn’t enjoy this book.

 

In this book the rivalries are:Green Bay Packers VS Chicago Bears, DCunited VS The Los Angeles Galaxy, The Canadiens VS THE Chicago Blackhawks, The Boston Celtics VS The Los Angeles Lakers, Yankees VS The Red Sox.

 

The book tells you about the history of the rivalries and who is better in the rivalries. The book also tells the reader about famous sports players careers and their history in the rivalries.

 

The reason I don’t like this book is because I already know all the information that was in it. If I didn’t know anything I would of liked it more  I would rate it a 2 out of 5. My favorite part was when it ended. I would not recommend it to anyone.

Time Squared By Julia DeVillers And Jennifer Roy

9781442417281_p0_v1_s260x420-1

 

My book is called Times Squared by Julia DeVillers and Jennifer Roy. It is about two girls. Their names are Paylon and Emma. They are identical twins but are nothing alike. Emma is smart and is in the mathlets. Payton loves fashion.  She will do anything for a nice dress and she is in the drama club.

 

Drama club gets to go to NYC to see an off Broadway play and the mathlets get to go to NYC for a competition, and that is where the adventure begins! My favorite part is when the twins go to the off broadway show and embarrass their enemy.

 

I would recommend this book to someone who likes drama and humor. An example of it being funny is when in the hotel they chase two twin brothers in a revolving door. An example of how it has drama is their enemy has these really dramatic acting videos.  I would rate this book 4 ½ of 5 stars. It is one of the best books I’ve ever read!

 

 

 

Keepers of the lost cities By Shannon messenger

            book review by Oni Thornell

Eleven year old Sophie Foster Is not a regular girl, she is a telepath. She has been hearing people’s thoughts since she was 5 years old. This story takes place in San Diego and a place no one  could imagine. One day while Sophie is at the museum she meets a mysterious boy named Fitz. For the first time, Sophie realizes that she can’t  hear his thoughts. When he starts to talk to her, he apparently knows that she is a telepath. From that day on,her life changes in so many different ways that she doesn’t recognize herself . I enjoyed this book because it had all of my favorite things ;adventure, drama, humor and fantasy.

Keeper of the Lost Cities

One of my favorite parts was when Sophie was walking down the hall to see the school nurse because she burned her wrist with acid in physics class.  While walking down the hall she runs into a boy who had ditched his class and waiting till class was over. I would recommend this book to people who like adventure, drama and humor. I would rate this book with ten stars but since I can’t, five stars will do.

 

The School For Good And Evil by Soman Chainani

imgresI am reading a book called The School For Good and Evil by Soman Chainani. It has a girl named Agatha and a girl named Sophie. It takes place in a little town and in that town every four years two children get picked to either go to the school of good, or the school of evil. Now you see, when they get picked, they get lost in the woods and end up in the school of good and evil. When children go missing in the forest, alot of parents can not find their kids and put up missing signs.

When people look at the missing signs they recognize the people on the signs. Then they see those same faces in their fary takes.  After they graduate from the school of good and evil, they get to be good and evil characters in fairy tales. That is the cycle. Sophie is pink, sparkly and is very nice. Agatha is dark and punk. This particular four years, Sophie and Agatha get chosen to go to to either the school of good or the school of evil. Something very unexpected happens. Agatha gets chosen to be in the school of good and is very surprised. Sophie gets chosen to be in the school of evil and is really surprised. At first, they think it is a mistake, but could it be that the characters are starting to find out who they really are? I recommend this book, especially to people who like magical realism that has realistic characters, but the story itself is not realistic.

 

I would rate this book four stars because it is magical and  fun.

 

Vordak The Incomprehensible by Scott Seegert (author) and John Martin (illustrator).

vordak                Vordak The Incomprehensible is a great book. I love it because it is silly and goofy. Vordak is an evil villain. He is very smart and funny. He sometimes talks to himself. It is funny when he does it.  Vordak has an evil lair filled with creepy stuff. The book is him talking to you about what happened to him. He makes a bunch of inventions that work. He made an age reduction ray that makes things young again. He tried it on him, it worked, but it broke and he made him too young so now he has to go to school. My favorite part in the book was when Vordak went to school on the school bus to get to school. He has an enemy named Commander Virtue and he has a kid that goes to school at Farding High which is where Vordak has to go to school. There is some trouble at school though so Vordak does not like it. I like the books that are totally unrealistic like this one I recommend this book to people who like the books that are totally unrealistic and to people who like funny books too. I finished the book in less time than I thought I would read it.  I give this book five stars! Whoever reads it or has read it you are awesome!

 

The Journal of Ben Uchida

This book is about the attack on Pearl Harbor. It is about a Japanese boy who has to go to an Internment Camp because he is Japanese. His father has been taken to be questioned. He has a sister. This takes place in California, 1942. I enjoyed this very much. It is in journal format. I would recommend this to people who are interested in history. I would give this 4 and a half stars.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, by Roald Dahl

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is about a really (you’ll see how really poor they are soon) poor family. Now what family am I talking about? The Bucket’s. Charlie Bucket lives in a small cottage with his grandparents, Grandpa Joe, Grandma Josephine, Grandpa George, and Grandma Georgina. He has a mother named Mrs. Bucket, and a father named Mr. Bucket. Charlie gets 1 chocolate bar a year. One night, Grandpa Joe tells Charlie a story about Mr. Wonka and his chocolate factory. Then, a miracle happens. Read the book to find out what the miracle is! My favorite part of the book was when Grandpa Joe told Charlie the stories because it’s like he is telling you that story, which is cool.

I would recommend the book to ages 4-? I did the question mark because some people like the book until they’re 50, and some like the book until they’re 20. One reason I like the book is because it is heavily illustrated by a good illustrator, Quentin Blake.

I would rate the book 57 stars because it was real good.
