The Emerald Atlas (Books of Beginning)

The Emerald Atlas (Books of Beginning)

By John Stephens

So I rated this book 3.5 stars. Don't get me wrong, this is a REALLY good book but I USED to be in LOVE with fantasy novels. Now I'm kind of a little older and I've been reading less Middle Reader Fantasy (this is the first fantasy novel that I've read in like, a year), and more Young Adult novels. I read this book like a month ago, but I decided not to read the whole series (which I have never done before, I always finish a book series) because I'm kind of growing out of the Fantasy genre. I kind of got bored with the characters, only because the somewhat stereotypical "three abandoned orphans" plot is overused a lot. I really liked how Gabriel and the Empress were described. The Empress was really ruthless, and it definitely showed throughout the book. Gabriel wasn't your typical strong hero that comes out of nowhere, his personality and emotions were really raw a well-plotted. This book kind of reminded me of the Narnia series because it was so full of adventure and magic. The pacing of the book was absolutely on point, which I loved. Anyway, I thought this book was a little bit over average, I know that people younger than me would enjoy it. There's a lot of really awesome elements like dwarves, a mysterious book, giants, and other mythical creatures. I would recommend this to the 9-11 year old range.

Graduation Day (The Testing)

Graduation Day (The Testing)

By Joelle Charbonneau

This book was such a cool and twisty conclusion to The Testing! Although the first book is still my favorite, this one was a close second. I enjoyed how Cia teamed up with friends, but unfortunate that she couldn't trust everyone she thought she could. At the ending I still didn't understand who was good or bad, it switched around so much! Anyways, I hope many other readers appreciate this book too!!

Danny the Champion of the World

Danny the Champion of the World

By Roald Dahl

This story is about a boy called Danny and his father that is very friendly and they have adventures together.The story takes place in the woods. What can they do? I enjoyed the part when his father told Danny the secret because it´s very interesting because it is strange and you want to know what it is.My favorite part is when they whent to catch pheasants. How did they catch pheasants? This book is just right for the people that are eight up. If you like adventure and funny stories like Charlie and the Chocolate, the BFG, Witches or Fantastic Mr Fox, you can’t miss reading this wonderful story.

The One Dollar Horse. by Lauren St John

The One Dollar Horse. by Lauren St John

By Lauren St John

Starting as a one dollar horse from the knacker's yard and then becoming a multi-million dollar horse seems like a miracle, and it was my favourite part of this book. When the author was writing about her riding Storm in the Badminton Trials I felt as if I were there to see it and go on that adventure with her. It was an amazing story about how a horse that didn't trust anyone at first slowly came to forming a strong and almost unbreakable bond with Casey Blue, the main character. They've had their ups and downs but in the end their team work worked out. Great book.

Treasure Fever! (Schooling Around #1)

Treasure Fever! (Schooling Around #1)

By Andy Griffiths

Alright, let me start with the facts, this book is HILARIOUS!!! Henry is a student at Northwest Southeast Central School, when he gets a new teacher, Mr. Brainfright, who teaches them things like, how do skid on a banana peel, how to fly, and how to make history. So stop reading this review and start reading that book!

Independent Study: The Testing, Book 2

Independent Study: The Testing, Book 2

By Joelle Charbonneau

Wow! This book was so cool. It was a nice sequel to The Testing, but honestly I preferred the first book. It has a cliffhanger at the end, so I will definitely have to read Graduation Day, the next book. The end was kind of surprising, but that's okay! Some of the parts of this book were a little confusing and didn't really make sense, but I think that the second and third books of trilogies are always more difficult to write and don't always hold the reader's attention as well. I read this book in a couple of days, so I think that means I liked it!

Ready, Freddy! Homework Hassles

Ready, Freddy! Homework Hassles

By Abby Klein

I loved this book because it talks about how Freddy falls on the ground from a tree and goes to the doctor and thinks that he does not have to do his report but his teacher says that he has to because it is not a writing report, it was a talking report.
