The Humming Room

Posted by

9975313

The Humming Room by Ellen Potter.The main character is named Roo. She’s a thief that steals but is also very nice and shy. Roo is a loner she never really meets anyone. So she doesn’t trust people very much until she gets to know them. The setting is an interesting village which is pretty strange.

 

Roo then meets a girl her age – I think she’s named Violet. Violet  try to make Roo clean and giving her food. Roo’s problem  is a mystery with Violet. Theres also a ghost story that I think is interesting. Also when Roo meets Violet. Roo Said  “no” to Violet  when she’s meeting Violet.

 

I really enjoyed this book because Roo’s personality fascinates me. If you have ever read The Secret Garden and liked it you would like this book. I recommend this book to for 3rd to 5th graders.I rate this book   stars.

Watch The Skies Daniel X by James Patterson

Posted by

imgresWatch The Skies Daniel X by James Patterson is the second book in the Daniel X series. The main character is Daniel, who’s an alien hunter  which is someone that fights bad aliens but Daniel is a good alien. Daniel is a little violent sometimes since he fights aliens much more powerful than him. I know that since he has something called the list of alien outlaws on Terra Firma A.K.A. Earth and he’s trying to kill all of them but now he’s battling the toughies which are the aliens with a rating higher than 10. The setting of the book is in a town called Holliswood.

 

Daniel is very cool since he has powers. He can create stuff including people and can teleport himself to different places. Hid dad taught him to teleport and his dad is really happy he can teleport so at one time in the book Daniel wants to go to London so his dad said “Why don’t you teleport yourself there?” His problem is to stop Number 5 on his list of alien outlaws on Terra Firma and number 1 is the strongest alien (See, I told you he’s fighting toughies!) Number 5 is able to go into any electronic device which is a problem for Daniel and he made all the women in Holliswood have baby number 5s since he sent everyone fish eggs that made them have baby number 5s

 

I really enjoyed the book since it has aliens in it and I think aliens are cool. I would recommend this book to people who like adventure and violence since the book is a big adventure and super violent. I would give this book a 5 star rating out of 5 stars.

Belly Up by Stuart Gibbs

Posted by

 

Belly Up by Stuart Gibbs is really good. It’s about a kid whose names Teddy who lives at a zoo since his parents work there, and Henry who is a Elephant that died. The book is set in  a zoo in Texas called Funjungle. Teddy thinks that Henry died because he was murdered. Was he right? You must read the book to find out!

 

My favorite part of the book was when someone let out a very dangerous snake just before Teddy entered the snake place at the zoo. I didn’t have a least favorite part of the book since it was so good!

 

I would recommend this book to adventure lovers because it’s a big adventure. I would give this book a 20 out of 5 star rating.

LAWN BOY, by Gary Paulsen

Posted by

LAWN BOY is about a 12 year old boy named _____ (yes, he doesn’t have a stated name) and his family is broke. He is intelligent and thinks he is dumb.

As a birthday present he gets his grandfather’s old 10-speed lawn mower. So, not knowing what to do does the obvious: he mows his cute little, old, not very taken care of lawn.

[The old mowing companies’ boss ran off into paradise with his new wife.] While he’s mowing his lawn his neighbor walks up to him and from across the fence asks; “you mow lawns?…”

And thats where his summer gets exiting.

His first client, a start to a boring, but still exiting summer. While he is mowing the lawn, another customer asks for him to mow his lawn and it happens again and again and again.

Then he meets Arnold, ‘a 70s hippie guy.’ A client who can’t find 35$ and, gets him a small account in the stock market and… before he knows it, he’s sponsoring his very own boxer: Joey Pow…

 

All of the chapters have a title that you don’t figure out why it’s called what it is called in ’till the end of the chapter

This book is a quick (88 pg.) fun, sometimes cliffhanger, and just a plainly amazing book for a plane ride or car ride that will make you think the story has just begun, so read ‘LAWN BOY returns’ if you want the rest of his story! I would rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.

You Have To Stop This by Pseudonymous Bosch

 by Freddie

 

     You Have to Stop This by Pseudonymous Bosch is the best book in the Secret Series. The Secret Series is 5 books and this is the fifth book. The main characters are Cass, Max-Ernest and Yoji ( Cass and Max-Ernest call him Yo-Yoji though). The book is set in Las Vegas and the Natural History Museum. One of the important events in this book, which is also my favorite part of it, is when Cass, Yoji and Max-Ernest get accused of stealing a mummy. Another big event that happens is when Cass, Yoji and Max-Ernest hide in a crate and get shipped to Las Vegas.  I would recommend this book to mystery lovers since this book is a giant mystery. I thought that this book was so good that I’d give it a 20 out of 5 stars rating!

Hatchet, By Gary Paulsen

Posted by

 The main characters are Brian, his mom, his dad, and the pilot. The book takes place in a plane and in the Canadian wilderness. Some important events were his first fire, a death, and him almost trying to kill himself. I enjoyed this book because of its interesting plot in surviving in the wilderness with nothing but a hatchet.

My favorite part was when he found a way to make food and fire near the middle of the book. My least favorite part was when a tornado came near the end of the book. I would recommend this book to people who can handle intense scenery and very very severe sadness. A death occurs and some of the parts may be a bit gruesome. If I were to rate this book I would give it **** (four stars) because of its complex threading of the words and it really makes you feel like you’re in the book.
