Planet of the Lawn Gnomes (Goosebumps Most Wanted #1)

Planet of the Lawn Gnomes (Goosebumps Most Wanted #1)

By R.L. Stine

March17, 2014 What I liked about Goosebumps Most Wanted Planet of the Lawn Gnomes By: Carter If you like scary stories and everything about scary stories, Goosebumps Most Wanted Planet of the Lawn Gnomes by R.L Stine is the book for you. What happens is Jay Gardener just moved and he keeps getting in trouble it is never his fault! In every yard is a lawn gnome. Jay hates those lawn gnomes so much. I really like that it is scary and that a black bird almost ate his dog. The last reason I like it is a lawn gnome made an M on his head. This is why you should read this book.

This book is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! I love it. It has everything a book could have!!! I wouldn't say it's for KIDS, because there is scenes that are more mature....one time, there were two people making out in the bathroom.... I say it's mostly for girls...not trying to be all steortypic, but boys really shouldn't read this...it there is jokes about periods and stuff...But it's a really good book! I love it! And I'm in 5th grade.. Kinda violent...Unless your parent are chill about what you read, you really shouldn't read this.. But great comic!!! I am inspired by it! Quite a touching ending!!! 10/10!!!

Rise of the Dragons

Rise of the Dragons

By Angie Sage

This book was kind of mediocre.The main protagonist Sirin is so bad.Remove her from the plot and there would be no tremendous effect to the plot whatsoever.On the other hand Joss and Allie were the best characters in this book.They actually had somewhat of a personality that made you care for them. Lysander was also pretty good.The battle near the end of the book was the best part of the book.It was full of action and suspense that put me on the edge of my seat.Overall this book was okay and it wasn't absolutely horrendous.I would give this book 3 1/2 stars.

The Perfect Score

The Perfect Score

By Rob Buyea

I picked up this book because I thought that the cover was really creative and I wanted to know what the book was about. This book is told in five different perspectives, so it can sometimes get confusing, but the author wrote it very well. Since there are so many perspectives you can really see how the characters change and develop throughout the book because you read about what everyone thinks about themselves but also how they see others, which makes the book very engaging. These five characters are all in the same class for 6th grade, epic gymnast Randi, football-crazy Gavin, bully on the outside Trevor, always the optimist Scott, and future lawyer Natalie. They might seem like a mismatched group of kids, but they have much in common and many potential things that could bring them closer together, in this case, the dreaded statewide assessment test. It feels like test practice is taking away all the things that these kids look forward most in school, recess, read-alouds, and even after-school programs. The kids realize that if they are going to prove how unjust the test is, then they will have to work together. Told in the perspectives of five seemingly opposite kids, this book will keep you engaged and wondering what crazy scheme will happen next. This relatable book is great for middle shoolers who like realistic humor.

The Hidden Witch

The Hidden Witch

By Molly Knox Ostertag

I enjoy this book so much! The story and the illustration really made me not want to put the book down! It was full of friendship, family, old tale, mystery and magic. This story was also about figuring out how to deal with bullying, self-identity, and embracing difference. I feel that the author and illustrator put a lot of thought, imagination, and a learning lesson. I don't want to spoil the story by giving to much detail. I would recommend this book to a fan reader of comic graph novel.

Bluefish

Bluefish

By Pat Schmatz

The book ''Blue Fish'' is an amazing story that people can relate to in so many different ways. To be honest with you once I started to read this book, I just could not stop. The author Pat Schmatz is a talented writer and now I really want to read every single book he wrote. In this book review, I will be telling you all the positives and negatives I have with the book. Honestly I have so much of positives I can't count them all.But one of them that I loved so much is about the main character Travis and his dog Rosco. When I was little I had a dog and I was so close to her and the day we gave him away to a friend, my heart broke. Just like Travis's when he found out Rosco got killed. I love that connection that Travis had with his dog. To prove this statement it says on page155 it says''He missed the smell,the dog hair all over his clothes, and Rosco's deep row-wow bark.'' A next example of a positive is about Travis's friend Velveeta. The reason why Ilike this story is becuase Velveeta is having a hard life but could still make the better of it . In support of this statement it says on page 88 '' The madre made real food again, and this time the butt showed... and they drank thier dinner while I ate mine.'' Velveeta has a mom who drinks too much and a brother who drinks and sells drugs. Tough life right? To be honest with you I have no negative reviews what so ever. The book '' Bluefish'' is a great book and I trult recomend this book to anyone who would like to read a book about a boy trying to learn how to read and deal with personal problems with his grandfather and a girl trying to find closure about a recent death. I would love to read it if I were you!

The Kill Order: Book Four; Origin (The Maze Runner Series)

The Kill Order: Book Four; Origin (The Maze Runner Series)

By James Dashner

Some people say that this book isn't as good as the others in the series, and I disagree with that. This book has many surprise twists and is a very cool look at during and right after the sun flares as opposed to 10+ years in the future. You also get the backstory of a character in Maze Runner, and how the virus (the flare) spread. I would recommend this book to anyone who liked the Maze Runner trilogy. 5/5!

Jessica Darling's It List 2: The (Totally Not) Guaranteed Guide to Friends, Foes & Faux Friends

Jessica Darling's It List 2: The (Totally Not) Guaranteed Guide to Friends, Foes & Faux Friends

By Megan McCafferty

It was kinda funny. It is a great book for middle schoolers. That are girls. Boys can't handle this type of stuff. I mean unless you're one of those boys who would rather do girl stuff. I don't discriminate. Anyways, this book was pretty good.
