Spaced Out by Stuart Gibbs

Posted by

            After the incident of the book Space Case, Dashiell Gibson, has another case to crack. In the year 2041 (doesn’t say the day) Nina Rodriguez has gone missing. Dashiell Gibson has gotten in trouble for running away from a bully. He made the bully destroy the eggs which are very valuable because you don’t get fresh food everyday. Nina Rodriguez the base commander called Dashiell Gibson in her office. After their talk Dash walked away listening to her call an anonymous person.

              Dash is a very determined person because he first he found out who was the killer in the first book which is amazing by the way. He doesn’t lose hope because if he did they’ll be dead by now.

              Later that day they found out that Nina has gone missing, Chang, the 2nd in command, asked Dash some questions, “You were the last person seeing her did you see anything that will give us any info on where she went?” Chang said, “No she was calling this person who I did not know so I have no clue.” Dash said. Then they started searching the whole Moonbase Beta. It’s a fairly small place so they didn’t have to search that much.

They couldn’t find her at all, so the last place she would be was outside the base. But the thing is her suit wasn’t gone which was very suspicious. What they didn’t think of, but Dash did, is that she could have took another person’s suit is Lily. Some of the people of the moon base. Dash’s mom. Chang and some other people. But Dash was left behind with Kira. They talked to Lily and she said she cracked one of the space helmets while playing foot ball. He immediately contacted his mom and some other people that his mom’s helmet is cracked. So then they took a buggy and went there as fast as they could. But then a meteor shower came and giant balls of rock plummeted down from space. The buggy was destroyed so they had to walk there when they got there all the resources were destroyed. So they couldn’t patch them up so then all of them had to run back to the Moon-Base luckily they made it. Find out what happens next in the book spaced out!

 

I really like the book because it’s a murder mystery but it’s appropriate

Ahsoka by E.K. Johnston

Posted by

Ahsoka by E.K. Johnston is a Star Wars book that takes place a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. This book takes place in space, but mainly on two planets. This book tells the story of Ahsoka after The Clone Wars, before Rebels (both television shows). Ahsoka goes all over the galaxy and saves many lives and kills many people (Stormtroopers). Kaden is Ahsoka’s only friend and Ahsoka rescues Kaden.

 

I would describe the main character, Ahsoka, as angry and conflicted. Ahsoka is angry because of Barriss Offee and the clones’ betrayal. When Ahsoka thinks back on Barriss’ betrayal she seems angry. You can tell she is conflicted because whenever anybody calls her a Jedi Ahsoka replies, “I am not a Jedi anymore.” There seems to be a struggle inside of her trying to decide if she is a Jedi or not. Kaden is lucky, stubborn and kind. Kaden was lucky because she was rescued after being captured THREE times! She was stubborn when she disobeyed. Kaden was kind when she tried to sacrifice herself to save her friends.

 

One of the most interesting and important parts of the book is when Ahsoka builds her famous white light sabers. This is interesting because the way she does it is very, very intriguing. She uses them as weapons of protection. They are important because she uses them to save her life and the lives of others.

 

This book was amazing! It was nice to know what happened between Star Wars Rebels and Clone Wars. Ahsoka is one of my favorite characters in the Clone Wars series and it was really interesting to get a book from her perspective. If you enjoy this book, you might also enjoy some other books I know that are about the Clone Wars but from her perspective. This book is not as good if you don’t know a lot about Star Wars, so I would recommend watching The Clone Wars first. On a 1-5 star rating five stars.

The Story Of Edward Tulane By Kate Dicamillo

Posted by

One bad accident and it all changed. This book is an interesting and breathtaking book. All the sad cliff hangers and happy endings make you feel like you are part of the book. It takes place in many places with many different characters. There are sad parts and happy parts of this book. If you like suspense and sadness I would recommend it to you.

The Story of Edward Tulane is about a stuffed animal rabbit. Edward is selfish, brave, loving and annoying. He has mixed emotions. That is one of the most important parts of the book. He has so many character traits it could sometimes get confusing. He is selfish and annoying in the beginning. But throughout the book he is brave and he found a way to love.

Edward is telling his story and journey. He is telling the story in the Edward’s point of view. In the beginning he used to be spoiled and he was treated like a human being. While he is going on his journey Edward found a way to love.

If you want to know how the journey started, I am going to tell you. It all started when Edward fell off a ship. He sunk to the bottom of the ocean, then was picked up by two fisherman. The fisherman gave him to one of their wives. Somehow a stranger named Bull, picked him up and took him to his junkyard. Then a farmer found him at a junkyard and brought him home with her. The next day Edward was hanging on a poll and scaring the crows. A young boy who worked at the farm, took him home. By the time he got to the boys home, he was in the arms of his little sick sister.

 

Could the loop circle back again? The Miraculous Journey Of Edward Tulane.

For example, when he goes into the children’s home; it is burned down, but he still goes into it. He is also brave because he kills monsters. In one seen Jake is scared. For example, when he first meets the children, he faints.

 

 Jake thought he was normal. But one night when his grandpa died his life changed. Jake’s grandpa always told Jake stories about when he was a kid. He told him about monsters and going to a special home in Wales. This home had children that had peculiar powers. This is important because, his grandpa was preparing him for when he was older. After his grandpa died, Jake started seeing monsters so he started to see a therapist. His therapist said he should go to Wales where his grandpa always talked about. This is important because his therapist was just trying to kill him.

 

I like this book because it is action packed and really breathtaking. Jake is such a brave character. I also liked the book because it had so many details such as descriptions of the children trying to get their headmistress back. I would recommend this book because it is interesting and I like that they include real pictures. I have not read anything like this because it is so unique. I would rate this book 5 stars.
