Me and the Pumpkin Queen

Me and the Pumpkin Queen

By Marlane Kennedy

Mildred's mom died when she was a toddler. Her mom wanted to try to grow a giant pumpkin and enter it into the Giant Pumpkin Contest at the Pumpkin festival, but never got the chance to. So Mildred has been trying to grow one for years, but every year something bad happens and her pumpkin never makes it to the festival. Her aunt thinks that Mildred is unhealthily obsessed, and that she should stop, but Mildred refuses to. With the support of her dad and her best friend Jacob, this year Mildred hopes to win the prize. What I thought of it: Let's start with the cover. It looks like it was made for a toddler book. It really annoyed me. Not to mention the fact that on the cover, Mildred looked nothing liked she was described, even though they didn't say much about the way she looked. In the book, Mildred says she has bangs, but on the cover she doesn't seem to have bangs. Also, on the cover, Mildred looked like she was about 7 or 8 years old. I found Mildred pretty annoying overall. In the beginning of the book, she was 10, then after a little while she turned 11, and then at the very end of the book she turned 12. The entire book, she sounded as if she were 7. A few times, she said things that a 7-year-old wouldn't necessarily say, but she still sounded really young. I didn't like the way it was written. I found the way Mildred talked very annoying. It was even more annoying when she said something, but (based on the other things she said) it didn't sound like something she would say. Jacob was my favorite character. I thought he was pretty cool, and not at all annoying. I liked Mildred's dad as well. Despite all of it's flaws it was an all right book.

Captain Awesome to the Rescue!

This book was so great, that I love it. I liked how it was written when Turbo, the hamster, was "hamster-napped". I love queen Stinkypants, who is a baby. Everyone was amazed when Captain Awesome came in the room. Charlie is Captain's best friend.

No Man's Land

No Man's Land

By Susan Campbell Bartoletti

Quite personally, I thought the book was AWESOME! I hated some of the blabbering and lines until the juicy stuff came along. I thought it was pretty sad at the beginning when “Pap” got attacked by an alligator. And it was quite shocking to find out that Tim wasn’t a boy. Knowing all this time from the beginning. The best and most exciting part came when in Shenandoah Valley the battle broke out. Yanks vs Rebs. There were some pretty funny moments in the book. Like when Thrasher ends up eating a whiskey watermelon. I thought that part was pretty amusing. I really thought this one was a good one. Most fictional Civil War books I read are from the point of view from Union, but this one I like because it’s unique and different from most. It gives us a point of view from the Confederates. And so, I think that is interesting. If I were to rate this book from 1 to 10, I’d say a solid 9 and a ½. As the book had exciting and funny and interesting parts for the most part. And all the talking and conversations were interesting but they were probably in the least. If I could recommend this book to anybody, it would probably have to be people interested in the civil war or wondering about it. Because this book is quite the interesting one. A view from the opposing side. The confederates (if that’s your point of view.). Or people who own a confederate flag or have southern heritage. Because they could feel how this kid could feel. This book was REALLY good. And I think it’s definitely worth a read.

Way of the Warrior Kid: From Wimpy to Warrior the Navy SEAL Way: A Novel

Way of the Warrior Kid: From Wimpy to Warrior the Navy SEAL Way: A Novel

By Jocko Willink

***Spoiler Alert*** When I read Way of the Warrior Kid I think that it means that you need to preserve and not give up. In the beginning of the story Marc, the main character in the story, can’t do any pull ups and doesn't know how to swim. Marc wishes he could swim and do pull ups. Later in the story, Marc’s uncle who is a Navy Seal, teaches him how to do pull ups and learn how to swim. I can relate to the story because I have to persevere in Cheer every time my team does our routine. That’s how I can relate to the story. I learned that you have to keep practicing or you can forget. In the book Marc has to keep practicing pull ups and how to swim. This is what I learned from Way of the Warrior Kid. In the book, one of my favorite parts is when Marc learns to swim. He makes a deal with his uncle that by the end of summer he will jump off the bridge with his uncle. By the end of summer, Marc will jump off the bridge, but it took a lot of guts because the bridge was really high up. In this scene he persevered a lot. In the beginning Marc wasn't going to jump off the bridge. In the end he jumped off the bridge and Marc had a lot of fun. I can relate to this because when I was little I went into a lake when ice was still on the water so that took a lot of guts also. Marc changed because he was being bullied at school and did not want to get bullied any more for not being able to swim or do any pull ups. Being bullied was the right motivation to get him on his feet, moving. I hope you enjoy reading Way of the Warrior Kid.
