The Lunch Witch #1

The Lunch Witch #1

By Deb Lucke

If your looking for something out of the ordinary (or maybe your mother didn't pack you a lunch) check out this hilarious graphic novel. Grunhilda, a witch out of work (people just don't believe in magic like they used to), takes a job as a lunch lady. Everything is going fine until Madison discovers her secret and threatens to expose her. Beautiful black humor and plenty of awkwardness to go around. If you want a good story, you won't go hungry.

Meet the Bigfeet (The Yeti Files #1)

Meet the Bigfeet (The Yeti Files #1)

By Kevin Sherry

While this book is below my grade level - way below - I actually found it to be amusing to an extent. This story is told through the perspective of Blizz Richards, a yeti who hangs around other creatures to study them. All of them have one thing in common : they can't be seen by humans. So when Blizz's cousin disappears, ashamed after being captured on camera by one of the world's most motivated cryptids researcher, Blizz makes it his mission to find his cousin during the family reunion. He does, and things only take a more interesting turn from there. Spoiler: the picture does not make it into the hands of the 'researcher' I think that as a book for younger children, Sherry's story is a good one. Definitely something I would give to a younger sibling as a gift. However, through the eyes of a more experienced reader, the plot is a little too simple, or coincidental. In all, I would rate this with 4 stars.

The Grimm Conclusion (A Tale Dark & Grimm)

The Grimm Conclusion (A Tale Dark & Grimm)

By Adam Gidwitz

This book was great! Like all of them say, Joringel (Your-ingel) makes the devil cry! Eventually, kids end up building a fortress and battling the adults! Joringel and Jorinda (Your-inda) even meet the author of the book! This book also has tons of references to the 1st and 2nd book. But be warned: This book is not for 5 year olds. This fairy tale is dark and gory. There's a lot of blood in this book, and little kids will probably have nightmares. With that said, check this book out!

Hokey Pokey

Hokey Pokey

By Jerry Spinelli

R.T369

In a world full of imagination , Hokey Pokey shows how kids are left on their own and no adults seem to be found. Jack is almost like a leader to the boys of Hokey Pokey. It is a diverse world for these kids since boys are never really seen with girls. A priority rule for the boys is to never kiss a girl. As the children are on their own kids use their bikes to go places and when they want to reign over the girls that is exactly what they do. Jack likes to cruise around Hokey Pokey for new things to do. Jack has his bike Scramjet that he would never want to be lost. Hokey Pokey was whimsical and everyone had something to do. Adventuring was the top thing on every child's list even if it meant destroying the other's capital buildings. That was how an ordinary day started in Hokey Pokey. The girls had slang when they talked but the boys had strategy and that was all the matter in Hokey Pokey. As the characters point out the little places they call Tantrums or Doll Farm, they try not to make any contact with the girls. Tarzan and his buddies Lajo and Dusty are always up to save the boys from harm. This had to mean that war had come upon them. The boys were sure they could stop any of the mischief girls until Hazel steels Scramjet. None of the boys wanted to go through such pain but facing the girls to get Scramjet was death. Hazel's little brother begged to get it back but she denied him. The girls wanted anything that the boys had and finally they got Scramjet. Albert, Hazel's little brother just wants the boys to have pride and he had no respect for his sister. All of the little kids of Hokey Pokey loved watching the older kids. They were civil when they were young but as they had to grow up , destruction had come. A boy named the Destroyer loved to tear the stuffing out of dolls and everything. If you'd liked to figure out what happens to Scramjet and the boys you should pick up a copy of Hokey Pokey and start turning your pages. Book Review: Hokey Pokey by Jerry Spinelli Review by: RT369
