Lunar Strike by H.I. Larry

Posted by

Once upon a time on a hot summer day, there was a boy named Zac Power. He was a part of the GIB, which stood for Government imgresInvestigation Bureau. He wasn’t the only one in his family that was in the GIB. His mom, dad and his older brother Leon were all in the GIB. Zac had to keep his identity to himself. He couldn’t even tell his closest friends.Then one day his brother Leon told him that he had to go on a space shuttle to stop one of his enemies from wiping out all the electronics In the world.

Zac started his training. He had to become an astronaut in 3 hours which was going to be really hard because real astronauts take 3 years to learn it.

Two and a half hours later –

After most of Zac’s training was finished he had to feel what anti-gravity felt like.While he was floating in the air, his brother Leon gave him a box of cereal in case he got hungry, but when Leon gave him the box of cereal, the little mouse in Leon’s pocket climbed out and went inside the cereal box without anybody noticing.

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 Blast off! The rocket took off, leaving a big pile of smoke that looked like a huge storm was coming. When the space shuttle was leaving Earth’s orbit, Zac was amazed at what he saw in space. He saw all kinds of things like different planets and a meteor shower coming towards him. “Wait, what?! A meteor shower? How am I supposed to get past that?” Zac exclaimed. At that moment, something caught the corner of his eye.

It was a space shuttle that he had to find to knock out the ray, so the electronics wouldn’t get fried. He came in slowly, so the guns would think that he was a space rock. When he got in the spacecraft, the computer that could stop the ray was right in front of him. He only had 10 minutes to stop it. When he was trying to hack the ray, a huge robot came out of nowhere and tried to stop Zac from hacking the ray. Then all of a sudden the robot let out a cry and Zac saw the mouse eating the robot’s wires. When the robot was dead, Zac finished the hack and the world was SAVED!!!

The book I read was called Lunar Strike by H.I. Larry. I would definitely recommend this book to other people. There’s also a lot of other books in this series, so if you don’t want to read this one, you can read the other ones. I would give this book four out of five, because some of the scenes in the book had a lot of action. I would give it a four instead of a five because the ending could have been more exciting.

Who was Jackie Robinson? By Gail Herman

Posted by

9780448455570_xlgThe book that I am reading is Who Was Jackie Robinson? The author is Gail Herman. The book is about Jackie Robinson trying to be the only black major league baseball player in history of the United States of America. The reason Jackie Robinson was and still is so famous is because he was the first ever black baseball major league player. When Jackie Robinson died it was a really sad moment for everyone, even some of the white baseball players not on his team.

The most important thing that happened in the book is that Jackie played in an all-black baseball league until he met someone who wanted him to play in the major league for the Brooklyn Dodgers.  That was the most hard decision that he ever made. If he joined, he would rather get bullied by the white baseball player or they would just leave him alone.

After he thought about it, he said “Yes! I would love to.” I think this quote he just said was one of the most interesting things in the book, because what would’ve happened if he said no? I also think that when Jackie stole home for the win was really cool because I had never read about somebody stealing home for the win before.

 Jackie Robinson is brave. He is brave because he wanted to take the risk of playing an all white American game that was be shown in front of hundreds of people that thought he shouldn’t be playing the game of baseball. He is also is  smart because he never gets into fights with other people that think he shouldn’t be playing baseball or think that he is a terrible person because he ruined the baseball because of his skin color. I also think he is thankful because he liked to play the game not let anyone take the game from him. A really important quote he said was that “all black and whites should play this game baseball.”

I think you should read this book because it tells you all about Jackie Robinson’s life. I think Jackie Robinson’s character reminds me of Babe Ruth because he is really good and so is Jackie. I would rate this book 4 stars because there are a lot of facts that I never knew.

Gods of Manhattan

Posted by

 

gmlgThe title of my book is Gods of Manhattan and the author is Scott Mebus. Also there are two more books. The main characters are Rory, a magician trick reader and his sister Bridget, a normal girl who doesn’t like girly stuff. This book took place on a hot summer day on Bridget’s birthday in Manhattan. The main problem of this book is they were trying to help save the American Indians from a trap that was set by a god. The god did it because the  American indians were annoying him and disturbing him. They don’t do it alone they get help by a magician named Hex that Rory does not trust.

The only reason Rory and Bridget got help, because on Bridget’s birthday, Hex did a unbelievable trick. Hex did a trick where he made a card that Rory wrote on go into Bridget’s present. The card said, “Hex is full of crap.” After that Rory was thinking about he did the trick ever since. Until five to ten minutes later he heard a voice call out, “I live on Raisin street.” Those are the two most important things in the book. Also they are my two favorite parts in the book. The most important thing he did was that he actually listened to Hex and went to Raisin street. Also when to Raisin street it was hidden and scary.

 

Some things about Rory are that he is smart, brave, and strong. He is smart because when he was in a tunnel of running water and he was about to lose his friend, he found a place that could make him safe. He is brave because when a demon attacked him, he stood his ground and fought against him after he lost the first time. He is strong because he pulled an alligator 10 feet against the river current flowing at 30 miles per hour to save his friend. After he did all of that he said “Thank god I did that right or else I would of been dead.”  

I loved the book it was really good. It was really good because it was always surprising. It was surprising because in one part someone that was a watch guard was a god. Also it had a happy ending. It is really good, so I would recommend it to other people. Only read it if you like surprises. This book does not remind me of anything. But it shouldn’t because it’s so unique in its own way.It is unique because I have never read a book like this before because non of them had a cockroach ridding a rat before.   I would rate this book 5 stars!!! Because I loved it and I would want to read it again.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, by Roald Dahl

Posted by

charlie_and_the_chocolate_factoryThe title of this book is  Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The author is Roald Dahl. The main characters are Charlie, Willy Wonka and grandpa Joe. Also if you are wondering how is Willy Wonka, he is a chocolate maker.  Also he opened his factory because he did not see any people in 10 years. Also the setting is winter. The main problem in this book is that Charlie is very poor and he does not have a lot of food. Suddenly he stopped eating and he got skinnier and skinnier.He stopped eating because he felt bad for the grandparents. Then the people said that Willy Wonka is now opening his factory. Charlie is trying to get inside. Also it is going to be even harder because it is winter and there is going to be a lot snow.

The most important things that happen in this book are, Charlie finds the silver dollar in the snow when he is going to school. It is important that he found the silver dollar because it lets you buy a something and the one thing he wanted is a chocolate bar. After that he bought two Wonka chocolate bars and one of them had the gold ticket inside the chocolate bar. The golden ticket means that you could go inside Wonkas factory. Another important thing is when Charlie was in the the factory and he drank the soda that makes you fly. But he could not come down until he burped. It was important that he did that because if he did not do that he would go to space.

The event that happened first was, when Billy Tv tuned into a 10 feet tall person by going into a machine that makes chocolate bigger and longer.That is important because every coach in basketball wanted him. Also it made everyone scared of him. The second event that happened was, when the girl that chews gum ate a piece of gum and it had a power to make you eat a meal and when it gets to desert the person that eats the gum turns into a blueberry.  The third event that happened was Veruca Salt went into the room of squirrels because she wanted one and fell into the garbage shoot and her parents fell in the garbage shoot too.

I like this book because it is exciting and you never know what is coming next. I also like this book because Charlie is poor and he finds a way to get into Wonka’s factory. That is important because most people would not be able to do that.  I would rate this book a four because I have seen the movie, and I read this book because I wanted to see if the movie is better than the book or is the book better than the movie. The book to me was better because Roald Dahl added more details to it then the movie.
