The book that I read was called the Million dollar shot by Dan Gutman .On a scale of 1 to 5 I would give it a 3 because it took him a long time to get to the main point.But when he did it was great.I recommend this book to people who like sports a lot .The main characters name is Eddie Ball and he is great at shooting a basketballs.All of his life changes when he sends a poem and to finkle foods and he gets the chance to shoot and if he gets the ball in the net he gets a million dollars .The book takes place in the present.Can he do it? The book was pretty good.

The Name of This Book is Secret By Pseudonymous Bosch
Very Surprising Book
I recently read a book called “The Name Of This Book Is Secret.” by Pseudonymous Bosch. My rating is five stars! Normally, every chapter I read, I am gasping because something really surprising just happened in the book. In the book, the two main characters find a magician’s house and everything goes wrong. If you like books that are very surprising, than this book is the book for you. This book is for people who like reading about VERY surprising things, like someone being evil instead of good, or something happening that you know but the good characters do not. The book also has lots of secret codes. The codes are the type of codes where there are scrambled letters or something like that. The characters are very wacky, one named Cass who is training to be a survivalist and who keeps weird things in her backpack and the other character named Max-Ernest who talks so much, you can barely hear what he is saying.This book has an ending that is not the way you think it would end. I can not tell you anything else, the only way to find out more information is to read the book yourself.

Take Two By Julia DeVillers & Jennifer Roy
Take Two is the second book after Trading Faces.
In Trading Faces Emma and Payton got in big trouble at home and at school, which means detention. Emma (the brainy one) feels like she shouldn’t be in detention, but lucky her and Payton (the stylish one) get out of it. But they just get a different type of detention.
Emma has to tutor math-hating eight year old boy Mason. Payton has to keep an eye on Mason’s twin brother Jason and help the drama club with the school play. Instead of being in the play like she wanted to she has to work under the stage.
This book is very easy and fourth grade level. It’s a realistic fiction book. If you like books that you can kind of relate to this is a good book for you. I would give this book 4 **** because it very fun to read>It’s a fun book with lots of surprises along the way!

So when they are both are kidnapped and Agatha is put in the school for good while Sophie is put in the school for evil, everything goes wrong. All Agatha wants to do is go home, while Sophie wants to be put in the school for good. The schools teach crazy things like how beautification, uglification, more things like that. Through all of the mistakes you will wonder if they can stay best friends. When they find their powers how will they survive? Most of all you will wonder if maybe there was no mistake and they were supposed to be in those schools.
I rate this book five stars for people who just like a little of mystery and a book that makes you think a lot.
YOU CAN’T TAKE MY PLANET, BUT TAKE MY BROTHER PLEASE, By James Mihaley
My 1st book review :
I loved the book YOU CAN’T TAKE MY PLANET, BUT TAKE MY BROTHER PLEASE by James Mihaley because I connected to it because I have a brother too. It will make you think a lot about nature. There is a boy named Giles and he gets a letter that changed everything. he meets aliens and some of them are good,but some of them are evil. He has an older brother and a younger sister. He lives in Manhattan and he loves Central Park. He loves animals so much. I think anyone would like this book because it is very funny. It is a little hard to understand at the beginning, but it comes together at the end. It is very touching throughout the story because Giles will do anything for his family. I rate this book five stars!!
The Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Hard Luck, by Jeff Kinney
My book is about Greg Heffley, the main character, who is mad that his best friend Rowley, has a girlfriend and he does not have a girlfriend.
It doesn’t say how old he is but he is in middle school. The book mostly takes place either at Greg’s house or at his school.
Greg talks about his life this school year and his troubles throughout the year like he gets new shoes but he steps in dog poop when he is waring his new shoes.
In the middle of the year he is so desperate that he wants to become friends with his enemy. But his friend leaves him and hangs out with another group of people.
I really liked this book and I would recommend it to you if you like to read about someones school year and life at home but with funny parts to. I would rate it 5 stars and I would definitely read it again.
Moomin Summer Madness By Tove Janson
This book is called, Moomin Summer Madness, the author of this book is named, Tove Janson. This is the fourth book in the Moomin series. Moomin Summer Madness is about these creatures that live in a special land called Moominland. There are a lot of characters like, Moomintroll, Moominmama, Moominpapa, The Snork Maiden, The Mymbles Daughter, Little My (The Mymbles Daughters, little sister), Snif, Snufkin, Misbel and, Whopher. In the book they travel all around the place to many places. First the family gets flooded and they have to find shelter so they go to a theater. All the characters split up and go to many places. Its exciting how the characters split up into different places. For example when Little My fell into a hole in the boat/theater and found herself somewhere surprising and exciting. It was also exciting when how the flood happened and how they found the theater floating on the water! My favorite part of Moomin Summer Madness was when their town (Moominvalley) was flooded and they found a cool place to stay in. It was a really exciting part because they would be moving places, places to live, why would they choose the theater? I think I would recommend this book, to a kid or adult because it is good for both and it is fun and exciting for lots of ages. I would rate Moomin Summer Madness five stars.
The Sea Of Monsters By Rick Riordan
There are two series of the books. The Sea Of Monsters is the second book of the first series. The main characters are Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, Annabeth, daughter of Athena, and Tyson, son of Poseidon. Tyson is a cyclops. A cyclops is a human that has one eye and is immune to fire. Percy and Annabeth are half-bloods or also called demigods. A half-blood is someone that is half human half god. They are made by a human and a god.
They move around in the book so the book isn’t happening all in one place. Percy and his friends need to go find something to heal Thalia’s tree. Thalia’s tree is a tree that protects camp half-blood. Camp half-blood is a camp for only half-bloods. Really it’s impossible for a mortal to come through to the camp unless one of the half-bloods say their first and last name and who they let into the camp. So back to saving Thalia’s tree. Thalia’s tree has been poisoned by we don’t know who. The only thing that can save Thalia’s tree is the golden fleece. The golden fleece is a fleece from a gold sheep.
I really enjoyed the book because it’s different from other books. The book is different from other books because it has a lot of action. And not a lot of books have a lot of action. My favorite part was when Tyson punched the bull smack in the face! The bull was evil. I recommend this book to people who like action I rate this book 4 ½.
