The book I read is are Are You There God Its Me Margaret by, Judy Blume. This book was about a girl named Margaret who moved from New York City to the suburbs. And meets a girl named Nancy who is in the same class as her Mr. Benedict’s Sixth Grade. The end up being friends. Nancy also stared a club called the PTs’s which stands for Pre Teen Sensations. If I had to give the book a rating it would be five stars.

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.

This review is on the great series called Harry Potter by J.K Rowling. This is a series of 7 books: The Sorcerer’s Stone, The Chamber of Secrets, The Prisoner of Azkaban, The Goblet of Fire, The Order of the Phoenix, The Half Blood Prince, and The Deathly Hallows. Each book tells the story of a year at Hogwarts and the summer vacation except for the last book which covers some of the future. These are probably the best seven books I have ever read. The main character is an eleven year old boy (in the first book) named Harry Potter and his best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. The big problem in this series is that a dark wizard named Voldemort is trying to kill Harry. This series takes place in England in 1991.
It is very challenging to choose the most important events in such a big series, but I have chosen three. One huge event that changes Harry’s life is in The Prisoner of Azkaban, when Sirius Black escapes from Azkaban (the wizarding jail). Throughout the series Sirius becomes more important and a bigger part of Harry’s life, this is why his escape is important. Another big event is at the end of The Goblet of Fire. This is when Lord Voldemort comes back and tries to kill Harry. Harry just barely escapes, but that’s the least of his worries…now the darkest wizard is out to basically kill everyone but his closest followers and nobody will believe Harry that he is back. A third big event is the the Battle of Hogwarts in The Deathly Hallows. Many people close to Harry die in this battle which affects his life greatly for the worse.
Harry is very fair. I say this because in the fourth book ha could have cheated in a tournament but chose not to. Harry is also mentally strong. I say this because he is literally having a conversation with the most dangerous person ever and does not break down. A third thing I would describe harry as is brave. I would say he is brave because he was willing to go somewhere where there was a 99% chance he would die. A quote that explains harry is “I don’t go looking for trouble, trouble usually finds me”. I think this explains Harry because he’s always getting himself into a bad situation but he does not want to be in them.
I loved this series! One reason why I thought it was great was because it was I am an adventure fan and this is definitely adventure. I would totally recommend it, especially if you like Percy Jackson. I think any adventure fan would like it. On a scale of 1 to 5 I would give this series a 1,000!
I hope you like my Show Me. Just so you know, there are some random pauses in it. Sorry!
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 
Investigation 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.
Narrator: Hello, Before I start narrating this scit I would like to say a few words about this book and movie. The harry potter series is great. I especially like The last one (Deathly Hallows) because the author J.K. rowling put a lot of detail and work into this particular book. In this book harry potter was definitely brave and honest and honorable. And I recommend the whole harry potter series to kids and teens with a taste of adventure.The plot is that Harry has to quit hogwarts and finish the task dumbledore gave him, which is to find voldemort’s horcruxes and destroy them. While Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic is being taken over by Voldemort’s henchmen.I would rate this book 5 stars. Enjoy.

Thank you for watching this scit. I would like to thank our three main characters, Jack Barker who played Harry Potter, Amos Dotson who played Ron Weasly, and Clara Cornick who played Hermione Granger.
And a bow and thanks from our cast!
The book I’m reviewing is The King of Attolia, by Megan Whalen Turner. The main character is Costis, one of the king’s guards. The setting is in the Palace of Attolia. This diorama shows the most important part of the book. When assassins from Sounis, ( a rival country with Attolia,) get into the garden where the king is walking. Why the King only has one arm is because the queen of Attolia. She chopped it off in an earlier book to punish him for stealing something from her.
What happens is that the king takes a sword away from one of the three assassins and kills all of them. The assassins released the hunting dogs from their cage and that got the guards to go to the dogs, not the king. Why these people are trying to kill the king is because people don’t like that the king is from Eddis ( another rival country,) and is now the king of Attolia.
Some words to describe Costis are aggressive and loyal. Why he is aggressive is because when he gets angry he gets very aggressive. Another reason why Costis is aggressive is because he punched the king. Why Costis is loyal is because he always is on schedule to be with the king even though he doesn’t like him. I would rate this book four and three quarters out of five stars.
The book that I chose to read is called The Last Kids on Earth by Max Brallier. The book is part of a series by the same author. The main characters are Jack, Quint, Dirk and June. The main problem is that the planet has been invaded by zombies and monsters and the main character Jack is trying to stop the zombie apocalypse. He is trying to turn the zombies into humans again. The setting of the book is at the school, the treehouse in Jack’s backyard and in the neighborhood where they all live.
One big event that changed the story was when Jack met his friend because he was going to be all by himself and then he just found a partner. This event was important because, it was easier for him to fight because then he’d have another person and an extra person is really helpful. One thing that I found most interesting was when Jack first shows up at Quint’s house and Jack starts killing all of the zombies. I liked that part because it involves a back yard and a person silently killing a bunch of zombies. Another thing that I found interesting was when everyone at once attacked Blarg who is the big monster in the story. I liked that because I like big battles.
The first adjective I would use to describe Jack is brave. He was brave because he would attack all of the monsters. Another adjective to describe him is determined because everyone else wanted to give up at one point but he said “Now, if we just try a little harder, we can do it.” And he didn’t let them give up. He has a big heart so he is caring. All he wanted to do throughout the whole book was to save this girl named June from the zombies. One quote that Jack said was “I’m an orphan.” It is an important quote because it shows that he only needs to take care of himself since he doesn’t have a family.
I enjoyed this book because it involved a lot of war and it involved monsters and zombies. I like those things because they both involve weapons. I recommend this book because it has a great story, great author, and great illustrations. I think this book is related to the TV show called The Walking Dead because that’s like a town that gets invaded by zombies and the book is like a town that gets invaded too. I would rate this book 4 stars!!!!!!!!!!!
For our last book review we had a choice out of many options to choose what we wanted to do. I chose to make a movie. First I made a script and then I did each characters part. I read this book because it helps you understand the struggle of kids with problems, living in World War 2. It tells you about history with a twist. Some things were hard for me to understand because I couldn’t ever imagine that somebody would do something so cruel. In my video, I played all the characters, which was pretty hard. I think one of my least favorite parts was when I had to be a character named Miss Smith, and when I had to fall on the street about six times. Not to forget I was on the STREET! I would rate this book FIVE STARS AND A SMILEY FACE :D!
I read Percy Jackson and the Battle of the Labyrinth by Rick Riordan. I chose this scene because I felt like in this book battles mostly happen the forest against his enemy Luke so I did that. I also thought Percy usually wins a lot anyways so I put him next to a river ( which gives him an advantage since he’s son of the sea god.) Also because it feels like it would be major scene in the whole series.
Here is my diorama:
For our last book review we were told to do something creative. I chose to do a diorama because it seemed like the best way to express this book. My diorama displays a very important scene to Lily. The story to Lily is that their mom is evil and is trying to use Georgie (Lily’s sister) to assassinate the queen. Lily and Georgie run away before Mama kills Georgie (because Mama says she is “useless”). They have to cross an ocean to get off the island and go to the mainland. Turns out Mama’s SUPER smart because she made the ocean VERY rough so they could not pass. Mama has gotten her powers from generations of magicians before her. Her parents were magicians so, so is she. In the end they did pass but it was as very good part for a diorama when Lily is about to fall off the boat. As you can see, there are popsicle sticks sticking out of the box connected to the waves so that the waves are moveable because the waves ARE moving in the scene. Hope you like the diorama!
