Posted by

My book is on The School for Good and Evil by Soman Chainani. It is about about a girl named Sophie and a girl named Agatha. In their town every four years two kids get kidnapped and put in one of two schools one for good kids one for evil kids, no one knows where the schools are. Once they finish the school they grow up and become characters in a fairy tales. Sophie has waited her full life to be kidnapped, she thinks she will go to the school for good and Agatha, who is known as a witch would go to the school for evil. Agatha and Sophie are best friends. 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.

Posted by

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

Posted by

   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

Posted by

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

Posted by

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.
