The Chocolate Touch is about a boy that goes to a candy shop, and gets a piece of chocolate, and the next day everything he puts into his mouth turns to chocolate. But it gets worse when every thing his lip touches turns to chocolate. How will he get rid of it ?
This turns into an adventure in his own neighborhood!
A good book and this book shares a good sense of humor.
The main character of this book is Nathan (Nate) Twitchell, he lives in Freedom, NH. He has a lot of chickens/hens, and one day one of his hens lays an enormous egg. It turns out that it’s a dinosaur egg! He hatches and grows big so they take him to Washington D.C and a senator makes a bill for the dino to go. Who will get the bill, Senator Granderson or Nate?
I enjoyed this book because it keeps you on your toes waiting for the next thing to happen.
I would recommend this book to people who like dinosaurs and who like being on their toes. At one point of the book someone asks if he can turn the dinosaur into a suitcase. I would give this book 3 stars (***) because I’m not the biggest dino-fan.
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.
School Story is about a girl named Natalie. She writes a book, her friend wants to publish it. It takes a few steps but she says yes. The only problem is that Natalie’s mom is a publisher. And Natalie wants her mom to publish it. But her mom doesn’t know it. So will she get her mom to publish her book or will some one else get the job? If you read this terrible book you will find out. The editor of this book made a bad decision to publish it. Now a bunch of kids will have to read it. I give this book a one star rating because it was terrible and it told you the whole thing at the beginning. I recommend this book to the “Society of Bad Books.” This book is like eating a bad pickle the whole way through. My favorite part of the book is when I closed it.

I would say the book Frankly Frannie Principal For The Day by AJ Stern was a very breathtaking book. It was like, what is going to happen next? Is she going to be principal !? I would recommend the book to people who don’t like as much adventure but a funny book with made up words and a very curious main character. I would rate the book 4 stars. My favorite part of the book is when she is putting her principal composition in her folder. My other favorite part which happens throughout the whole book is when she makes up words!
The title of my reading partnership book is The Chocolate Touch, by Patrick Skene Catling. The main character is John Midas and the book takes place far in his town. After John finds a mysterious coin, he buys a box of chocolate and everything he eats or touches his mouth, turns into chocolate. John starts to have problems with this. My favorite part is when the song from the play comes up in chapter eight, “Where the pools are bright and deep, Where the gray trout lies asleep, Up the river and over the lea, That’s the way for Billy and me….” I enjoyed this book, I would give it three stars on a scale of five stars because it wasn’t my favorite book. I would still recommend it, especially to people who like fun, fiction books.
Frankly Frannie is a hilarious book by AJ Stern. It’s a series about a girl who already has a résumé, business cards, and mustard packets (they’re so much more grown-up than ketchup). So why is it taking eleventeen hundred years for her to find work? Frannie goes on a different mission to find work in each book. In this book, Frannie’s school is having a competition. Whoever has the best composition gets to be the Principal for the day! Frannie is so excited! Who will win? I think people who like funny books should read this because it’s a really funny book and Frannie makes up a lot of funny words like excitified,pricipalish, and more. And if you read dark scary grim books like I do, this would be a book that you can relax on and laugh at. I would rate this book 4 stars, because even though it’s not the best book in the world, it’s good for some light reading and if you want a funny book to read, read Frankly Frannie: Principal for the Day!
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 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.
