Kids Books - Literature

I grabbed this book from the shelf at my library because the title was captivating and it was a Junior Library Guild Selection. It had to good, right? Wrong. This book turned out to be a sore disappointment. It follows the stories of three "littlepoors", who are tiny, about the size of a rat, and poor, named Warner, Prayer, and Usher. Warner and Prayer are siblings whose dad has recently died from being stepped on by a cat, and whose Mom is severely injured. They end up leaving their littlepoor neighborhood, attempting to "scale up" (get bigger by getting more munmun). They go on many adventures and change sizes several times. I stopped about halfway through because I got really bored, and I didn't want to know what other trash was in the middle. I skipped to the end, and the end was not very well written either. Overall, the book may be "a powerful look at wealth and class", but it's also boring, badly written, and not worth your time.

Would you ever want to go owling? If you do, you will like this book because a little girl went owling with her Pa. They were walking towards the woods and hen they reach the woods they heard a great horned owl. Then Pa calls back. You will have to read to find out what happens next? I recommend this book for all kids all ages. My favorite part is when they hear a owl.

It was my favorite book it was interesting all kinds of twists you should read this book this book is perfect for tweens at a higher level read than the grade their in for example I was in grade 5 when I read this book and it is the best book I have ever read

This was an interesting book about a number of universal topics: family, community, love and loss. In addition, it deals with finding your way in the world and figuring out who you are. What I liked most about the book is the setting--an imaginary island off the coast of New England--and the magic that exists in the lives of the characters.

I seen the cover and realized it was written by the writer of Coraline. I must read this book!

Have you ever humiliated yourself in front of your whole grade? That’s what the protagonist 16 year old Nadia Riley did, she lost everything. Until she got enrolled in a school in the desert. It’s not some ordinary school, it’s a spy school! With the most clever kids in their grade training to be a secret agent. At the school she learns that the girl she took place for, Drew, died in a car accident. But she learned otherwise, from a Drew’s Diary, she learned that she was murdered by the antagonist enemy group. It only gets worse from here. Will Nadia turn things around? Will the enemy group figure out what Nadia knows? Will they try to kill her? Will they learn more about Drews death? Read the book to find out more. This book is called Desert Dark by Sonja Stone. It takes place in modern time I suggest this book to those who aren’t laughing at guns, killing and violence.
