Kids Books - Literature

I read this book because the author is one of my favorite writers. I was totally drawn into the plot because her descriptions were so realistic. I recommend this to readers who like historical fiction. I would rate it 5 stars.

This book is about a little kid named Kek who is from Africa and has been through a lot. He had to go to a refugee camp during a war but the camp was invaded, and he lost people he loved. He moves to America to live with his cousin and aunt, and works on a farm. He has a hard time adjusting to America and thinks Americans take things for granted. This book might make you sad, and it makes you think about the things we take for granted. It made me cry, it’s very emotional, and it makes me realize how much we have in America.

Michael Vey: Rise of the Elgen is the 2nd book in the Michael Vey series. It stars Michael Vey, a boy who is one of 17 children who have electrical-based powers. They are being researched by a company called The Elgen. Some of the “electric children” are on Vey’s side, but some support The Elgen. Since the Elgen kidnapped Michael’s mom, Michael goes to one of their bases to rescue her. This book has lots of action and is a page-turner. This series is also very similar to other series, namely the Percy Jackson series, so if you enjoyed those books, you’ll enjoy this book too. I recommend this book to kids in 5th to 8th grade. This book gets a 4 out of 5 from me.

Warning! This review contains spoilers!There are two girls who are best friends, named Maddie and Peggy (or something). And everyday they tease this other girl named Wanda who seems to be very poor. Although she always wears the same dress, Wanda says she has a hundred dresses. Nobody believes her, so they make fun of her. Maddie doesn't like to tease Wanda (because she's poor too), but goes along with it anyway. But then something happens. What I thought of it: I can easily say that this is the stupidest book I have ever read. I mean no disrespect to the author, or anyone who liked it. I just really couldn't stand it. The writing was horrible. It was very sloppy, and unpleasant. The plot wasn't any good, and it barely made sense. The author didn't make it clear whether of not Wanda actually had a hundred dresses or not. I mean that's the only reason I even finished the book. All I wanted to know was whether or not Wanda had a hundred dresses, and I never even found out. I mean I read this book in 15 minutes and it was still a complete waste of time. Also, the author kind of just jumped from one time to another. One second it's sometime during October or a little after October, the next second it's Christmas time. The only transition was a single sentence that basically said "And then it was Christmas time". That really annoyed me. Also the characters were flat and uninteresting. There were many other flaws. Overall, it was a terrible book.

This book is about planets and our solar space. This book is good if you want to learn basic facts about our solar system. It has information including the facts and definitions of objects in space. It also has pictures of what the planets and the sun look like. Overall, this book was interesting and very colorful. I rate this 5/5.

Wow. Just wow. I loved this book so much! I'm on the edge of my seat just waiting for the next book to come out! The Fowl Twins are almost as good as Artemis Fowl. The twins are under Nanny's control, but the twins find trouble quickly. The go on an incredible journey, seeing things they never saw before. The even get temporary killed. But aside from their major differences, they discover that they need to work together to get back home, with just a little help, of course.....

When I picked up this book I had no idea how absolutely incredible it would be. Within the first few pages I was already hooked! I reread this book a dozen times, it never seems to get old! It's about a girl named Sunny, and her incredible journey in Nigeria. As well as how she took something she wasn't proud of (her albinism) and figured out it was the most incredible thing about her. This book took me through a magical, mystical journey of modern day magic. you guys got to read this book. let me give you the intro about this book! Twelve-year-old Sunny lives in Nigeria, but she was born American. Her features are African, but she's albino. She's a terrific athlete, but can't go out into the sun to play soccer. There seems to be no place where she fits in. And then she discovers something amazing—she is a "free agent" with latent magical power. Soon she's part of a quartet of magic students, studying the visible and invisible, learning to change reality. But will it be enough to help them when they are asked to catch a career criminal who knows magic too? bye for now.

Pippi Longstocking I am reviewing the book, “ Pippi Longstocking,” By Astrid Lindgren. This book is about a girl named Pippi Longstocking who has a very adventurous spirit. She stays home by herself without any guardians and has her own house. Her personality is strong, brave, and mighty. Pippi becomes friends with her two kind next door neighbors; they go on many adventures that you would not encounter if you weren’t with Pippi. The group of friends become quite strong together and so do their friendships. To me, this book was great and I would suggest it to anyone who loves adventures and has a wide imagination. This book is at a 5th grade level.

I’ve read Kathryn Erskine’s books, Mockingbird, before, and this book is almost as good! It’s about a boy named Mike, who’s father is a genius, especially in math and science. His father wants him to be just like him, but Mike has a math learning disability. He tries to please his father, but when he gets sent to live with his great aunt and uncle while his father travels abroad, he gets the surprise of a lifetime. Poppy, his great uncle, hasn’t moved since the death of their son, almost four months, and Moo, his great aunt, watches imaginary movies in her car and calls it “Tyrone”, when she shouldn’t be driving anyways. But when Mike finds out that the town he’s staying at is trying to adopt a child from Romania, he jumps in, and figures out the true Mike in himself. This book is pretty good! :)

Lauren Oliver brings a zesty, fresh, dystopian novel to the publishing world in her new book "Delirium" starring main protagonist Magdalena Haloway. With each chapter starting with an excerpt from the Book of Shhh, Lauren does an incredible job of establishing a futuristic world where love is viewed as a disease. Magdalena, or Lena for short, is a teenager who is about to be cured forever from having to experience amor nervosa deliria, the love disease. In the beginning, she counts down the days until her curing. But when a fluke cuts her cure short and reschedules it, Lena is in for a whirlwind when she meets Alex. If love is a disease, why does it feel so good? Maybe Lena understands her mother's suicide a little better after all. In this spellbinding part one of Lauren Oliver's trilogy, readers will not hesitate to purchase the next two books from the very first page.
