Kids Books - Life

This book was flat-out amazing!! Ernest, Ryan and Lizzy have always seen and heard stories about their town of Cliffs Donnelly's wishing well. But they've never really believed that it actually granted wishes... until one day they find themselves underneath the well in a small cave, able to hear every wish tossed down into the well's abyss. And for some reason it seems to connect with Ernest's grandfather's attic. Ernest's grandfather told Ernest repeatedly and sort of spookily to clean up his attic after he passes, and when Ernest does, the object that he takes out of the attic ends up doing something to grant a wish from the well. Sounds pretty crazy, right?? Well, at this point nothing seems crazy anymore to Ernest, Lizzy and Ryan. They start seeing that with a little bit of kindness and thought, wishes do come true. This book was actually filled with some mystery and a lot of suspense. And I LOVED it!! It was SO GOOD! Keith Calabrese does an amazing job describing the 3 friend's tale, and I hung on to every word and devoured this book in 2 days! If you like adventure, mystery, and basically a good book, you NEED to read this book, because I COMPLETELY and TOTALLY recommend it, for any age and anyone. :)

I really like this book because I speak Spanish too. This book is mostly in English, it just has a few Spanish words in it. It is also good for kids who also want to learn a few Spanish words.

I love this book because Camilla Cream makes funny faces and looks like a rainbow. She's worried about what other people think of her and she turns the color of whatever people are saying. People make fun of her because whatever they say shows up on her. The principal said she had to go home because she was too distracting for other kids. She turns into a pill from taking medicine and finally she turns back to normal when she's willing to say she loves lima beans. And she does!

This book is just like its name -sweet, juicy, tart, and rich with love. Alice Anderson loves her aunt Polly, a pie making prodigy with thirteen blueberry awards for her pies. However, Polly is humble and modest lady in her humble pie shop-PIE. Then, one day, Polly dies. (Suppose it was the fact that she had thirteen awards?) Alice doesn't know what to do. Mr. Ogden presents Polly's will, which means that Alice takes care of Polly's ornery cat, Lardo, and Lardo has the pie crust recipe that everyone wants to know. Yet, Alice's mother doesn't quite feel that the matter is settled. She never like her older sister, and disliked her even more. Alice discovers, one morning, that Lardo is missing. With him missing, the town pie-crazy, and her mother annoyed, Alice needs some comfort. She and her friend Charlie figure out who stole Lardo, but even so that hunch of Alice's was wrong. Luckily, an officer comes home with Lardo, but the thief is still on the loose. Tying in some clues, Alice finds who it is. This book by Sarah Weeks is just as good to read as good it is to eat a pie. For mystery lovers, and pie-bakers, this book is the place to solve the clues and between chapters there are pie recipes! Come and enjoy this book just like the folks of Ipswitch enjoy pie. You'll read it over and over again .

I am reading this as we speak it is a wonderful book and was very well written I had just purchased at the library this morning but I will say because Stevenson is from the united kingdom it was a bit hard to understand with hints of an Irish vocabulary

I think this book was veary interesting because in the began of the story they were in there classroom and then soon alater there was a new kid who came in and he was white there wasn,t alot of white pepole on that side of the highway and that,s when there was a mean boy name trevor and he picks on him that when trevor started calling him jesus boy and that,s how it began. there,s a girl who has a brother named sean and he is veary deaf . her mom had a baby she called her lila but she died. the girl that brothers deaf has a friend named samantha she is veary holy the little girl never went to church.

"Place a beehive in my grave and let the honey soak through. When I'm dead and gone that's what I want from you." Singing songs like that is what Lily and her caregiver, Rosaleen, do when they run away from Lily's mean, uncaring father. Because this is set in the 1960's Rosaleen who is black gets put in jail. I think it's really exciting when Lily breaks her out. "I watched as the policeman put on his hat and walked down the corridor and out the door. When Rosaleen and I stepped from her room, I looked left, then right." This part seems really suspenseful and makes you want to keep reading to see what happens next. If you want to read a great book about beekeeping sisters, black Madonna and other funny adventures, I really recommend you read this book.

This book is the first in the series, but it's a filled-in journal rather than a small chapter book the way the others are. By filled-in, I mean that each friend filled out their own area of the book with their own handwriting and personality, so it's like an introduction to them and their worlds. I love it though! I've read it so many times because it's so fun to read when I'm too tired for a big chapter book.

Island of Fire starts right where Island of Silence left off, and Alex and the rest of the inhabitants of Artimé are shocked that their incredible home just disappeared before their eyes. Everyone is living in a gray shack, surviving on what little food and water they have. Now Alex is their leader, and he has to figure out how to make Artimé come back before it is too late. Meghan and Samheed are still on Warbler Island, in complete darkness and unable to speak because of thorn necklaces sewn into their necks. With all of these burdens and responsibilities on his back, will Alex be able to handle it all? Will the Artiméans with thorn necklaces be able to speak again? In a wonderful third installment of a thrilling and enjoyable series, Island of Fire will leave readers wanting more. Lisa McMann strikes again with another excellent novel. My thoughts: I really enjoyed this book. It was a great addition to the Unwanteds series, and I can not wait for the following books. The description was great in this book, and Lisa does a great job of making the world of The Unwanteds series very vivid and realistic. Like book one and two, I absolutely LOVE the cover art. Owen Richardson is the perfect cover artist for this series. For some reason, even though it was 464 pages long I thought it was too short. Maybe it’s because there aren’t many words on the page, or that when I read it I was on a road trip. Lisa McMann, keep writing, and I will be reading. Can’t wait to see Lisa @ #AustinTeenBookFestival! :-) I truly can not wait to read book 4 (and see the cover and title); my guess for the title is Island of Water. I bet I’ll be like, “Told ya so! :-) Also, I want to thank Emma Sector at Simon and Schuster for sending me an ARC of this book. Thank you so much, Emma!
