Squish: Fear The Amoeba, By Jennifer And Mathew Holm
Squish: Fear the Amoeba No.6 is about a boy named Squish who goes on lots of adventures.
It all started when Squish was reading a Super Amoeba comic at school. Pod (Squish’s best friend) asked Squish if he wanted to go to the movies next Saturday. Squish said “Sure.”
Next Saturday, Squish got to the movies. The movie is called The Water Bear2. After the movie Squish got terrified. He thought the movie was very scary. Pod asked if he wanted to see the first movie. Squish couldn’t say no to his best friend.
So Squish said, “Sure,” and went to Pod’s house. He was terrified of the movie he could barely eat his popcorn. Squish went home. He was watching tv when all the sudden a commercial came on for a Water Bear 3!!! It was very scary!
This book was very good for people who like comics and lots of action. I would give this book series a five (which is the highest) because every book has different adventure. This book has about 90-93 pages. If you like this book you will like the series Lunch Lady!
Mrs. Piggle Wiggle by Betty Macdonald
Mrs. Piggle Wiggle helps little girl love to wash dishes. This book is called Mrs. Piggle Wiggle. It is a chapter book that I really like because it’s about kids with problems in life. Kind of. This book is also a series. The series are called Mrs. Piggle Wiggle by Betty Macdonald. This book doesn’t really tell you the setting all I know is that it is in the country because later in the book this doofus guy runs around on a donkey or a horse. There are lots of main characters but we’ll focus on these two: Mrs. Piggle Wiggle and the little girl.
Mrs. Piggle Wiggle is a old lady who has one cat and one dog and she loves children very much. If a child is acting strange she knows just what to do. For example one little girl hates washing dishes. Once she visited Mrs. Piggle Wiggle. Then she went home and loved doing dishes for the rest of her life. Mrs. Piggle Wiggle is funny and caring. I know she cares about others because she gives cures for kids.
One day, Mrs. Piggle Wiggle was sitting by the living room and wishing she had company. A little girl walked by. She had a suitcase. Mrs. Piggle Wiggle asked her to please come in so she did. “ Why do you look so sad?” Mrs. Piggle Wiggle asked the girl. “Because my mom makes me wash the dishes everyday! So I’m running away from home!” said the girl being overly dramatic. That is one of my favorite parts because she is sobbing over DISHES! So Mrs. Piggle Wiggle said, “I will teach you how to love washing dishes!” Mrs. Piggle Wiggle clapped her hands and led the girl into the kitchen. Mrs. Piggle Wiggle explained this fun game to love washing dishes. “Now, you work for a evil witch who makes you do the dishes every day!” says Mrs. Piggle Wiggle.
The girl gave a disgusted face. “If she finds one single crumb on the floor than you will be thrown into the dungeon!” says Mrs. Piggle Wiggle making scary faces. “So get to work or else the witch will not be happy.” So the girl got to work scrubbing the dishes clean, and by the time she was done, the kitchen was spotless! Than down came Mrs. Piggle Wiggle, dressed up like a witch. The “witch” looked under every table and as she searched for messes, she could not find a single one. The “witch” left and down came the real Mrs. Piggle Wiggle. The girl hugged Mrs. Piggle Wiggle. And dashed out the door and loved washing dishes for the rest of her life! “Thank you Mrs. Piggle Wiggle,” she said. “Thank you.” Later in the book, more kids come back with their problems.
I would give this book 4/four stars. I really enjoyed this book. I recommend this book because It’s funny. Nanny Mcphee is a movie that is related to Mrs. Piggle Wiggle because it is again, a movie about a sitter that saves the day. (Mrs. Piggle Wiggle is way better.)
Out Of My Mind, By Sharon M. Draper
This book review is about Out of My Mind, by Sharon M. Draper. It takes place in no named state. All we know is that it is in the USA. The time is the present. Melody is the main character and she is mute and disabled. She has cerebral palsy. The only thing in her body she can control is her thumbs. Rose is Melody’s only friend. Melody lives her life misunderstood. A doctor asked her questions to figure out how smart she is. She knew the answers but could not speak. She had to be put in the “disabled kid” room. In the book she says,“Doctors. Where do I start? Doctors really don’t get me. Mom’s a nurse, so I guess she speaks their language, but they sure don’t know how to speak to me.”
Melody is smart, emotional, friendly, and probably fun to be around. She is smarter than everyone in H-5, her class. And she can’t tell anybody, but her mom knows, “Melody laughs at my jokes, right at the punchline!” and “Melody is able to figure out things, communicate, and manage in a world where nothing works right for her. She’s the one with the true intelligence!” Melody can get emotional, like when everyone thought she was dumb just because she has cerebral palsy. She felt bad. She was crying. “I stuck out my lip and stared at the wall. ‘Leave me alone!’ I said.” Melody is friendly and almost never gets mad at people. She took Rose on a trip, even though Rose can be mean to Melody sometimes. But Melody took her anyways. Being put in the “disabled kid” room, when she gets the Medi-Talker, is a HUGE breakthrough. The Medi-Talker is a computer that will talk for her. Then she can go to inclusion classes with regular kids. This is important because she wants to be normal and now she is with normal kids. But then her sister, Penny, gets hit by a car. I am going to leave a cliffhanger so you can find out what happens to her. Another important part of the book is the Wiz Kid Quiz Team Competition. Melody wants to join her school’s team (her school is Spalding Street Elementary School). This is hard because she is disabled. She is underestimated, but she aces her try-outs and makes the team! This is a turning point in the book because she now proves she is smart. Their team beats the first two teams and on to Washington D.C for the finals they go. The “team” goes to breakfast without her, because somebody needs to spoon feed her. When Melody and her family get to the airport they see that the plane is cancelled. But the rest of the team got on the early plane because they went to breakfast without Melody. I’m not going to tell you the end…you will see for yourself.
I really liked this book. On a scale of 1–10 it is an 8. I liked that the whole book was written as an assignment that the teacher, Miss Gordon, gives her. The assignment is to write a autobiography. If you like “Wonder” you will probably like this book, and if you like “Out Of My Mind” you will probably like “Wonder.” The characters are alike, and the book content is similar.
Detention Convention
Big Nate: In a Class by Himself
by Lincoln Pierce
Nate eats a fortune cookie and his fortune says: “You will surpass all others today.” So, he tries to surpass all others but instead, he receives seven detentions and THAT is where he surpasses all others. Nate tries very hard to surpass all others, but he ends up insulting his teachers and fails each time. His friends tease him and they aren’t really his friends anymore.
The Heroes Of Olympus: The Mark Of Athena By Rick Riordan
I read The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan. I think the most important part of the book is when the Greeks meet the Romans because it did or didn’t start a war between the Greeks and Romans. I also think that was important because it’s what starts the prophecy to save the world from the earth goddess Gaea waking. The book is full of action, fantasy,secrets and mystery. The book is part of a series and the series is the best series I’ve ever read: The Heroes of Olympus.
Boy Ends Up in Prison Camp for Being Mistaken by Police
An important event in the book I’m reading(Holes) is probably when Stanley Yelnats tells the people/ people at his camp that the “crime” that he committed was by “stealing” a shoe. Stanley said that he was just walking down the street and a shoe just flew into his hand and apparently the shoe belonged to a very famous baseball player that was being given to a homeless shelter. The reason he ended up in the prison camp is because if you were in court it would be a pretty unbelievable if you said that the shoe flew into your hand. So he was considered guilty and went to the prison camp. It is a very good book, I would really recommend it.
Demigods and Magicians By Rick Riordan
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.
The War That Saved My Life by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley
Soldier Drops Dead After Asking For Help To Write A Letter
SPOILER ALERT- My review reveals spoilers from my book, so if you haven’t read the book yet and want the book to be a surprise DO NOT read this.
An import event from my book is when Ada is helping soldiers that came back from fighting and one of the soldier asks, “Can you write me a letter?”. Then Ada goes and gets the materials to write the letter but when she comes back the soldier is dead lying on the ground. I think this event is important because it shows how life was during World War Two.
Tales Of The Brothers Grimm And The Sisters Weird by Vivian Vande Velde
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.
