Leonardo's Shadow: Or, My Astonishing Life as Leonardo da Vinci's Servant

Leonardo's Shadow: Or, My Astonishing Life as Leonardo da Vinci's Servant

By Christopher Grey

I absolutely love this novel because, unlike most books, it starts of at an exciting pace. It's about this boy who think his master is mean, but he loves him anyway. Leonardo is in a struggle in painting the Last Supper, since he held it off for years. He then has to finish it in a month.

The Zippity Zinger #4: The Mostly True Confessions of the World's Best Underachiever (Hank Zipzer)

The Zippity Zinger #4: The Mostly True Confessions of the World's Best Underachiever (Hank Zipzer)

By Henry Winkler, Lin Oliver

The title of my book is The Zippity Zinger. It’s a story about a boy goes through many crazy adventures! Hank Zipzer was chosen as his softball team pitcher for the annual olympiad. He thinks he’s the worst softball pitcher in the world. My favorite part about the book is when Hank accidently wore his sister’s socks that was red and had monkeys on it, and later on in the day he was practicing pitching and he threw perfectly, and he thinks the red monkey socks are good luck. I would recommend this book to everyone because it’s funny and it will make you laugh your pants off.

Tuck para siempre

Tuck para siempre

By Natalie Babbitt

such a good book. This is about a 10-11 year old girl named Winnie, who wants to run away. So, she wanders off into the family's wood, where she ends up to a place where she sees a teenage boy, drinking water. His name is Jesse. He says she shouldn't drink the water, and manages to pull her away. We later find out that the water is like a youth fountain, but in this case makes you live forever. Jesse drank it because he already drank it before with his family. (Tuck, Mae, and his brother Miles.) Tuck regrets drinking it, and Jesse is delighted. Winnie gets kidnapped by them in a friendly way, and then his mom, Mae, and his brother, Miles, come with a horse and take her back to their small cottage. Before all of this, a strange man who is called, "The Man in the Yellow Suit", is very suspicious around them, and of course that is where all the trouble occurs. The man follows them home, and steals their horse. Some other crazy things happen, but I won't spoil the whole book, even though I spoiled already like half of it. Really good book. I would probably rate it 4.5 stars out of 5. Read it.(No, I don't speak Spanish)

The Compound

The Compound

By S. A. Bodeen

I discovered this book about a year ago and wanted to read it all school year. Finally, I got to read it a few weeks ago, and it was most certainly worth the wait. It begins by telling the story of the Yanakakis family, the most famous and rich family on the earth. They are living in an underground compound, however, because of a nuclear attack 6 years ago. 6 years in a compound is driving Eli's father insane, and Eli and his sisters realize that they need to get out. This book is a thriller that keeps the pages turning. It's slightly morbid and it's a long wait for the book, but definitely worth it.

Woods Runner

I thought this book was truly incredible. Samuel was just a kid living the Revolutionary War time period when his parents got kidnapped by the British. Samuel went on a journey to save his parents. He met new friends like Abner, who helped a lot, and Annie, a sweet young girl who is now his sister. He has to do incredibly dangerous things to save his parents. It will leave you puzzled, have you on the edge of your seat, and touch your heart. You must read it.

Every Thing On It

Every Thing On It

By Shel Silverstein

This book is super. Shel Silverstein is my hero. I recommend it to anyone who likes humor. It is a big jumble of funny poems. One of my favorite poems is Wrong Way. In it a kid says to bury him up to his neck in the sand so they bury him from the top of his head to his neck (upside down).

By Jordan Stratford

This book is about two highly intelligent young girls, Ada and Mary, who come together to form The Wollstonecraft Detective Agency. Ada is gifted in math and science (book smarts) and Mary is gifted in noticing people's emotions (people smarts). Their first case is about a missing bejeweled acorn that was stolen in the middle of the night. The owner of the acorn, Rebecca, tells the girls that her maid, Rosie, had confessed that she took it, but was unable to give it back. Rebecca is positive that Rosie did not steal the acorn and hires Ada and Mary to figure out who did.
