The Stowaways

Posted by

IMG_0058

The Stowaways is about two mice. The main mouse’s name is Rory. Rory really wants to go on an adventure. Rory’s grandfather passed away on his last adventure in the woods. Rory’s grandmother  still believes her husband is still out in the woods on an adventure trying to come back home. But I believe he’s dead because he was out there for sooo long.

The reason I picked this part of my book is because it shows a lot of character on Rory’s part. The reason this is courageous is because birds and mice don’t usually get along. For Rory to let a seagull take him by his scarf, and trust him is not only courageous but willing. He was willing to help The SEAGULL!!! For those of you don’t know mice and seagulls don’t really mix well.

The Mistaken Masterpiece

The red blazer girls

____________________________________________

 

 I really enjoyed The Red Blazer Girls because I like mysteries a LOT. It’s fast-paced and the story is told by a kid and we really kind of see eye-to-eye. We picture the world in the same way. The author is Michael D. Bell.

This book takes place in our current time.

This book is about 4 girls who  have an agency called The Red Blazer Girls. The mystery that they are trying to solve is the main problem is if a certain painting was painted Before 1961 because that’s when the painter died. And if they find out if it was painted before 1961 then the owner of the painting. But what obstacles will stand in their way?

… Elevators…Livvy Clack…psycho old lady…Broken nose…

My main character is Sophia, Sophia Is very, very, very nice to everybody, She also is very curious. The reason the reason Sophia is really nice is because there is this really mean girl named Livvy Clack, and Sophia is even nice to her! Sophia is curious because every time she sees something off she goes to find the explanation. last but not least Sophia is courageous, Sophia is courageous because She fixes every problem even if it means the worst.

The parts i found most interesting are Sophia gets a dog well it’s not hers a movie star, Nate asked her to babysit the dog, Tillie. but Tillie is a solution to a part of the mystery! and the other part i found interesting was that nate the movie star asked Sophie to babysit Tillie.It as inturesting because he’s a movie star and he’s asking a 12 year old to babysit his dog!And the last part I found ABSOLUTELY crazy is that Sophia breaks her nose! But you’ll have to read to find out how, and trust me, It’s crazy!

 

I really enjoyed this book because I like mysteries a LOT. It’s fast-paced and the story is told by a kid and we really kind of see eye-to-eye, We picture the world in the same way. I REALLY recommend this book if you are the kind of person who likes something fast pace and from a persons perspective like yours ( a kid).

I really truly believe that this book is one-of-a-kind.

I rate this book 5 stars, I LOVED it so much. I’ll read it again, and again.

The Red Blazer Girls

The Vanishing Violin

by, Michael D. Bell

My book is about four girls who are the red blazer girls, and the red blazer girls solve mysteries. There are two mysteries they try to solve in the starting. Those mysteries are : In the Red Blazers School there is somebody who is cleaning everything in the school he also IMPROVES everything in the school,  and their principal asked them to figure out who keeps on doing this. Another problem is that the Red Blazer Girls have an admirer and he keeps on giving the Red Blazer Girls REALLY hard clues to get to the next note.

 

All of the clues are something you’d never thought of!!! Like the first one the red blazer girls have to figure out what “read between the lines” means. But later a member of the Red Blazer Girls figures out that in between the lines is another note written in lemon juice and the only way you can see lemon juice is to use a really bright light and let it just appear.

 

It’s really cool. The Red Blazer Girls are also making a band but they don’t have another member of the band and they need one. so they’re trying to figure out 3 things really if you think about it! The four main characters are : Sophie, Rebecka, but her friends call her Becka, Margaret and Leigh-Ann. The book is told from Sophie’s prospective. The whole thing is about Sophie, Becca, Leigh-Ann and Margaret, finding mysteries and solving them and having to put them back for the person to find and give a new little sheet of paper!!!

 

I recommend this book to people who love mysteries and fast paced booksI rate this book:

Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamilo

Posted by

WinnDixie1

          

Winn-Dixie is very smart for a dog I think, because when Opal pretended that Winn-Dixie was her dog, Winn-Dixie played along.

Winn-Dixie was also very well behaved, because when Opal scrubbed Winn-Dixie down he stayed put. Opal said that he could tell that Winn-Dixie didn’t like it by his facial expressions. But he’s not very patient for example Winn-Dixie’s problem is that he isn’t staying still in the park outside of the preacher’s church. So he thinks that the preacher might not allow Opal to keep Winn-Dixie. So dogs aren’t allowed in Opal’s dad’s church. So Winn-dixie has to wait outside (kids aren’t allowed to be in this park with R.V.’s but they made an exception to Opal for three reasons 1. She is very responsible 2. She is very trustworthy and 3. Her dads the priest of the church on the park)

 One time Winn-Dixie saw a mouse in the church, so he did what any other dog would do ; he chased it… but this was in  the church so of course it distracted everybody in the church who were praying Winn-dixie is hoping that she can stay with the preacher and Opal because he is really having a good time with opal (aside from waiting outside of the church.)

 I really enjoyed this book because it grasps you in the beginning with scary, sad, and exciting moments. Like in the grocery store when Opals trying to save Winn-Dixie from the dog pound. And when Opal and Winn-Dixie are trying to get the preacher to like Winn-Dixie,it takes a long time for him to make his decision. Also when there is a thunder storm and Winn-dixie gets super scared and its really dramatic.

If you like exciting and gripping books Because of Winn-Dixie is for you!

And its really modern. And doesn’t give you a lot of information so its making you think a bit too!

I rate this book :

****

because there are some sad parts that I don’t like but………. otherwise its AMAZING!!!
