Percy and Carter fight an epic battle.
Percy and Carter fought a crocodile that was a Sobek. I thought that was important because Percy and Carter meet for the first time. Percy is always active and loves to make jokes. Carter is smart not funny and always fast on his feet. They fight but then become friends.
Tales Of The Brothers Grimm And The Sisters Weird
Beast Purposing To Beauty
An important event from my book is when the Beauty lied to the Beast so she could get away from him, because she did NOT want to marry him. The lie was, “I must leave because my father is sick”. This is important because the only way the Beast can change back into a real boy is if he gets a kiss from her. She does not know that the beast is a very handsome prince under all that ugly ness.
The Last Olympians
Kronos the evil titan has been released. He is trying to destroy Olympus Percy and Annabeth and Grover must try to kill him and save Olympus. It will not be easy there are monsters and giants to get in their way. Luckily they have camp half blood to help them where demigods train to fight evil and find other half bloods that don’t know that they are half bloods to save Olympus.
The book I read is called Masterpiece, and it is by Elise Broach. There are two main characters in this book, James Pompaday, a ten year old boy, and Marvin, a beetle that lives in James’s family’s kitchen sink. So Marvin and his beetle family live in James’s family’s sink, and are very happy there. Most of the action takes place in their home. James’s parents are divorced, and James does not love his step dad. Karl, James’s real dad, got him an ink and pen set for his birthday, and James was not that happy, because he does not like to draw like his father does. The morning after receiving the gift, James saw a BEAUTIFUL picture set on the desk. James had no idea who had drawn it, as he knew he did not. Then he saw a little beetle beside it. Can you guess, yep it was Marvin. James’s parents think James drew this piece of art and he is scared to tell his parents the truth. I felt very badly for James at this point, because he is forced to lie to his parents.
There are a lot of BIG events in Masterpiece. But one of the biggest parts is when Marvin meets James. James had seen Marvin with the painting, and realized it was the beetle’s work. Then they started to get to know each other by communicating not by talking, but with gestures. From this moment, they became good pals and would see each other often. This was extremely important to the book because James now knows who had done the painting after seeing ink on Marvin’s legs. Even though James knows it is not his own work, he STILL takes credit for Marvin’s work. This is very hard for James throughout the book, especially because James’s mom wants her son to be the best so she can get attention. She’s a very bad mother. One thing that I found very interesting is that on James’s birthday his mom threw him a party with not his friends, but the children of her real estate clients. She did this just so she could talk with her clients and make business deals. I was so embarrassed for Mrs. Pompaday, because that is just a TERRIBLE behavior for a mom in my eyes. Another interesting part of the novel is when James’s REAL dad got him a pen and ink set for his birthday, when he knew James did not want to be an artist like him. This surprised me, because a dad should know his own kid.
Three adjectives to describe the main character Marvin are caring, kind, and adventurous. He is caring because even when James and Marvin were having fun together, he still was wondering how his parents were, and he missed them very much. I also think he is adventurous, because he and his cousin Elaine love to explore no matter the conditions. Last but not least, I think he is kind, because Marvin NEVER wants to let down his pal James, even if it puts himself in danger. Overall I think Mavin is a very kind little guy. One thing that Mavin said that I liked is “I cannot let my friend down.” I think this shows that Marvin is a good character.
I enjoyed this book very much because I got to see a bug’s perspective of the world, and a boy’s perspective of the world at the same exact time. I also liked it because it is about art, and I got to learn about the art world. I would love to suggest this book to other people because it is a unique tale. Readers can discover the meaning of friendship. This book reminds me of Matilda, because in both stories the grownups are shown in a negative way which makes them unlikable. I would rate this book 4 stars because it is a fascinating book.
1,2,3,4,5
My book is called Railhead. It is by Phillip Reeve. The main characters are Zen Starling, Nova, and Raven. The setting of the book is in space.
One event that was really important was when Zen stole the instructions to building the K-gates. The K-gates are the things that make trains go to different planets by giving them a speed boost.
I enjoyed this book a lot. It messes with your brain. It has so many interesting things in it like alien bugs and trains with personalities. I would recommend this book to any science fiction fan. This book is sort of similar to the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey except it’s less trippy. I rate this book 5 stars. It was really good.
I drew the prologue to the book as a short comic.
The Harry Potter series is by J.K. Rowling is a really magical book series. The book takes place in Hogwarts, and the main characters are Harry, Hermione, and Ron. This book is different than the ones before, because there is a twist at the end and it will surprise you. You should still read the series in order, because, if you don’t, you’ll get confused by a lot of things in the books. On a scale of one to five, I’d give this book a four because the book is really magical, but I was a little disappointed: I wanted something to happen that didn’t happen. The book is magical because there are so many cool creatures, spells, wizards, witches, and mysteries. Enjoy the book review comic!
Prince Caspian is a great book. It is like a cooler version of the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
I hope you like my video.

The book I am reviewing is The Little Prince By Antoine de Saint Exupéry. The main characters are the Little Prince and the man. The Little Prince is telling the man about his planet in the sky. It takes place in a desert in around 1943 I think but I’m not sure. The book was written in 1943. I would give this book 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆ because it was a super good book and I would recommend it to 3rd/4th graders through any adult. This is my script:
Narrator– Hi. This is a part of the little prince. I really liked this book and I would give it 5 out of 5 stars. It is about a child who draws a snake and shows it to his parents and they said don’t draw, just learn math and spelling. So when he got older he became a pilot. One day his plane crashed and he met an extraordinary boy. That boy was the little prince. I hope you enjoy the performance!
Man– Tell me the story of the fourth planet you visited,
The Little Prince– The fourth planet I visited, belonged to a businessman. This man was so busy in all his work with numbers, he didn’t even raise his head when I arrived. ‘Hello’ I said ‘Your cigar has gone out.’
Businessman– ‘3 and 2 make 5. 5 and 7 make 12. 12 and 3 make 15. Hello.15 and 7 make 22. 22 and 6 make 28. No time to light it again. 26 and 5 make 31. Whew! That amounts to 501,622,731,’
The Little Prince– ‘Five million what?’
Businessman– ‘Hmm? You’re still there? 501,0000… I don’t remember… I have so much work to do! I’m a serious man. I can’t be bothered with children! 2 and 5 make 7…’’
The Little Prince– ‘Five million what?’
Businessman– ‘For the 60 years I’ve lived on this planet, I’ve been interrupted only 4 times. The first was 37 years ago, when a roach fell on my desk from god knows where. It had made a terrible noise, and I made 4 mistakes in my calculations. The second time was 19 years ago, when I was interrupted by a fit of rage. I haven’t time to get angry. I’m a serious person. The third time was 10 years ago when, I started thinking about how many stars there are that I can’t see and, I lost my place and had to start over. The fourth time…well… is right now! Where was I? 501,000,000…’
The Little Prince– ‘Five million what?’
Businessman– ‘Oh, the little things you see in night.’
The Little Prince– ‘bugs?’
Businessman- ‘No ,those shiny things.’’
The Little Prince– ‘Fireflies?’
Businessman– ‘No, those little golden things that make lazy people daydream. Now, I’m a serious person. I have no time for daydreaming.’
The Little Prince– ‘Ohh. You mean stars.’
Businessman-‘Yes, stars.’
Narrator: To me, the point of this book was to tell the reader, ‘You don’t always have the perspective of a child, but, try to see things the way they do because children are the next generation, so, if you crush their dreams, they will never happen.’This was one of my favorite scenes because it makes you think about the stars and stars are beautiful. I hope you enjoyed watching! Bye!
I’m reading the Lemonade Crime. It’s the second book in the Lemonade War series. I’m doing a diorama for my book review. I hope you guys like my diorama. The Lemonade Crime is about 3 kids, Scott, Evan, and Jessie. Scott stole $208, well that is what Evan and Jessie think.
In the book, Jessie accuses Scott of stealing $208 from Evan. She decided Scott should have a trial by jury. She assigned each person in the class a job for the trial. The jobs are judge, jury, plaintiff, defendant, lawyer, and witness. The trial is going to take place after school on Friday on the school playground. If Scott is found guilty of stealing the money, he will have to give his Xbox 20/20 to Evan forever. If Scott is found not guilty, Evan and Jessie will have to apologize to him in front of the whole class during Monday Morning Meeting.
The scene I chose for my diorama is when Jessie is setting up the ‘courtroom’. She is setting it up on the playground. She had a whole plan before she set it up. This scene is important because the courtroom on the playground is where the trial will happen. The outcome of the book all depends on the trial and all the characters are involved in that scene.
The materials that I used for my diorama are: a shoe box, mini sports balls, colored paper, plastic trees, pipe cleaners, tissue paper, a small cardboard box, markers, glue and scissors. I tried to set up the playground ‘courtroom’ just like Jessie did in the book.
I enjoyed making my diorama. It was really hard to make. I am very proud of it. This book was really good. I would recommend this series of books to fourth graders. It’s important to know that you have to read this series in order to understand everything that’s going on. I would give this book a five star rating for two reasons: (1) the action started really quickly and (2) a fourth grade was going to have a trial by jury themselves, and that’s really unusual.
