The Tapper Twins Go Viral

The Tapper Twins Go Viral

By Geoff Rodkey

This was much better than I thought it would be. Normally, I don’t read realistic fiction or books with a lot of pictures, but The Tapper Twins Go Viral was interesting and teaches kids about internet safety. I recommend this book to readers who like fun, witty, and relatable characters, along with many cool pictures! Claudia and Reese Tapper are twins—but they couldn’t be more different on the inside. So when Claudia puts a video on YouTube of herself singing a hit song, Reese makes his own video—a two-second video game fail—and posts that, just to compete with Claudia and see who can get the most likes. Who will win? They don’t know yet, but when Reese’s video starts to get more likes, his sister is shocked. Her only chance at being an internet sensation is being taken away...and she doesn’t like it AT ALL. Then, Reese starts to reconsider his YouTube fame. Hackers and trolls from the internet have started to turn their attention onto him; and now, he’s under attack! Can he and his sister learn to use the internet safely? Read this book to find out!

Boy Bites Bug

Boy Bites Bug

By Rebecca Petruck

To be honest, this wasn’t a good book. It had a lot of aspects I didn’t like, and some parts were a bit gross. To summarize the whole book, I would say it was just...hard to get into, and not my type of book. I also didn’t like the cover (really, I thought it should’ve been better for readers to pick it up and read it). I do not recommend this book, and rate it 2/5 stars.

And Sky Strider, a wise elephant who wants to help Thorn with his duties as the Great Father, must make an impossible decision; return to her former herd? Or continue to stay with Thorn? Only kill to survive. This rule has been broken...and the code breakers must atone. Can the animals of Bravelands defeat the powerful wolves? Read this book to find out!

The Lost Rainforest: Mez's Magic

The Lost Rainforest: Mez's Magic

By Eliot Schrefer

Lunafloof

My book review is about the book The Lost Rainforest: Mez’s Magic by Eliot Schrefer. The book is about Mez, a panther born during the eclipse and found friends who were also born during the eclipse to defeat the ant queen. I liked the book because I love panthers and adventure books. I liked that the book made you happy when SPOILER ALERT characters find each other again and sad when SPOILER ALERT characters that you relate to die This book helped me learn about perseverance and pushing forward. Like when SPOILER ALERT they are in the owl fight on the river and they get flipped under the water. In that situation the main character, Mez just keeps pushing through and eventually emerges from the water. Unlike Mez, a character who doesn’t persevere is Sorrella the monkey. In the beginning of the book the side character Sorrella the monkey had no respect for anyone but herself. Sorrella thought she was very sophisticated and we can tell because in one part, Auriel the cobra was talking and Sorrella wasn’t paying attention, she was grooming herself. Gogi the monkey wanted her respect but Sorrella hated Gogi because he was only a seventeen on the rankings. After Gogi SPOILER ALERT saved the animals from the ant queen for the first time, Sorrella actually gave him some respect by giving him praise for what he did. Like when Gogi is giving a speech about how they will defeat the ant queen once and for all, Sorrella is listening and joins into the speech to help prove Gogi’s point. They were all so positive that they would win, and they were even more moved to win because SPOILER ALERT they had a dead member to fight for. I think that the chapter when SPOILER ALERT Nico the fish dies means sometimes good people have bad things happen to them. Nico was a good fish and he didn’t deserve to be SPOILER ALERT eaten by Auriel. This chapter helps show that SPOILER ALERT Auriel works for the ant queen and can hollow out animals bodies. There was no crack in the temple so the ant queen couldn’t have come out of the temple to eat it herself. I hope that if you read the book, you enjoyed it and if you haven’t, you will and you will enjoy it.
