The title of my book is The True Meaning of Smekday by Adam Rex. The story takes place all over America. It is about aliens called the Boov who have already taken over the world and one criminal alien named J.lo helps the main protagonist, named Gratuity, also known as Tip, an 11- year-old girl who can drive.

J.lo helps Tip fix her car and then they go to Florida where all the Americans are living, or are they? Then it turns out that the Boov love oranges and make them go to Arizona. Then later, another alien race, called the Nimrogs, or really the Gorg, invade Smekland (Earth). What happened is one Nimrog killed all the other Nimrogs and then the Boov gave Gorg, the last Nimrog, a cloning machine so Gorg cloned himself into a whole entire race, the Gorg race. A big decision Tip makes during the story is letting J.lo call her Tip because “only friends call me Tip.” Ultimately, the Boov surrender and the Gorg are defeated because of cloning problems and a “cat-astrophe.”

In conclusion,  if you like aliens, bad grammar jokes, and awkward situations, this is a book for you. I rate this book 4.5 stars out of five. I enjoyed the book, but the ending did not satisfy me.    

My book is called Horten’s Miraculous Mechanisms by Lissa Evans.  It is about a boy named Stuart who moves to his father’s’ home town called Beeton. One day he receives a package with a magic money box in it. He finds a note in it from his great uncle who is a magician it is for his dad. But instead Stuart goes on the adventure to find his uncle’s secret workshop. It takes place in 2011.

There are a lot of characters, there are identical triplets named April, May, and June, a rich evil business women named jeanne and her student Clifford, a blind old lady named Leonora and her guide dog Pluto. In this adventure story Stuart and April become friends, and break the law more than once. Stuart goes back in time and sees his great uncle tony April starts an illegal protest and Jeanne tries to sell the workshop. But in the end Stuart wins it all. I did not like the end because the workshop wasn’t in a good hidden place. I did like how Lissa Evans described every single thing. my favorite part was when Jeanne surprised Stuart in the museum.

Book Review Four

My book was called The Island of Doctor Libres  by Chris Grabenstein. It is about people who who read books and they come to life on an island the main characters in this book are Billy, Walter, Hercules, Robin Hood Maid Marian, Tom Sawyer and Pollyanna, (most of the main characters are from books). The setting is lake Katrine,

If I could use three adjectives to describe Billy it would be Smart because he defeats the bad guys of the books too. He is friendly because he was friends with walter when he first met him. He is daring because he went back to the island to find the treasure even with a space lizard. An interesting part of the book is when the bully Nick Farkas goes onto the island and reads a comic book called “Space Lizard” it comes to life. It is interesting because how Billy defeats the Space Lizard is he reads a book that the Space Lizard met his match.

I think that if I was in the book i’d read aladdin and get a wish from the genie. the main problem is that Billy also has to fight the bad guys in the books. E.g when  he was reading Robin Hood he would have to fight the sheriff of Nottingham.
