Kids Books - School

I read this book for the first time in 9th grade as an assignment for History of the Espionage and Spying (yes, that was a course I could take in school and I loved it!). I didn't think I would like it that much, considering my usual genres consist of science fiction, fantasy, and poetry; I had also avoided reading it for a summer reading assignment, instead opting for Eighth Grade Bites, a book about an 8th-grade vampire, but that's beside the point. My friend had recommended that I read Code Name Verity for the assignment because she had absolutely loved it when she read it, so I did. It took me a little bit of time to actually sit down and read the book but once I started reading, I couldn't stop. It remains to be my favorite book of all time and also remains to be the only book that has made me cry for three days straight. If you don't already know from the summary of the book, Code Name Verity is the story of two female spies, Maddie and Queenie, and the bond they shared together. The story is written from the point of view of Verity, who was captured during a mission behind enemy lines and is being forced to write down everything she knows about the British intelligence. As a reader, you are reading the letters of information (complete with crossing out and notes in the margins) as Verity writes them to the person who captured her. Through these, you dive into the story of Maddie and Queenie's friendship and backstories. Overall, the writing is impeccable! It really resembles the time period that the book takes place and evokes feelings in the reader as they read Verity's writings. The friendship of Maddie and Queenie immediately connected with a friendship that I have, which is likely why the book was so emotionally touching for me. It is definitely a must-read for anyone and everyone.

I like it, And it has AMAZING stuff!👍🏾💟 You should read it. It is the best Ever! :3 Follow if you like it! UwU

I love this book , It's so descriptive i feel like im really there. I wish that one day I can glide through the air on a broom just like Harry. My favorite part of the book is when Harry tricks Lucius Malfoy into freeing Dobby by giving him a sock. If you want to read this book I recommend you read the first one.

If you are fine with reading sad books (because I love sad books), then you should DEFINITELY read this. It explains her grief so well. And when it tells you what happened to her at the end, it is almost like a twist and it makes you so sad. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Cassie has to leave her friends, Texas and the warm air!! But when Cassie makes a friend of Etoile, which means star, things look up! But with Mean Mary Ellen McGinty trying to ruin Cassie, can their fashion show charity event be a success, or will it be a flop?

This is one of the best books I've ever read. It is funny and interesting. You can really not stop reading this book till you're finished.

It starts with a very pouty fish and ends with him very happy 🐡he meats a bunch of different sea creatures who try to make him not be a pout pout fish✍🏻👍🏻👩🏻

I read the book Slob by Ellen Potter. The book is about an overweight boy who is having a hard time at school. People keep bullying him, and someone keeps taking his Oreos. On top of this, Owen's parents had just died recently. So tries to build a machine that can replay the video tape of his parents death. I really liked this book. It was really funny, but also very emotional. Also, it wasn't a sob story. Throughout the book you don't feel super bad for him, to where the point you are about to cry. It was just the perfect amount of emotion, which was lightened up by humor. This book is realistic fiction because these things can all happen. He's not fighting dragons, or saving the world from robots. These events could actually happen. I think anyone 11 or older would be able to read this book. Anyone younger wouldn't feel the same emotions as Owen, and there is some profanity. A external conflict in this book is Man vs. Society. Throughout the whole book it's Owen fighting against the bullies and the school. He isn't fighting himself, nature, or one particular person. He is fighting school.

2 stars--I don't want my review to be long and rambling, so let me just get to the point--I did NOT like this book. I didn't finish it--I read about 1/3 of the story before I got bored OUT OF MY MIND and had to put it down. I've read some of Chris D'Lacey's other works before, including the first five books in the Last Dragon Chronicles, so I really tried to give Fire World a chance--but it wasn't very enjoyable for me. There was almost NO action in the first third of the book. None of the people actually do anything. It's just the main character, David, living in a huge library (called the Librarium) with his friend Rosa and the Librarium's curator, Mr. Henry (who, BTW, is as dull as drying cement and not at all a noteworthy character). David doesn't have much of a personality either, other than having a crush on Rosa. I really wish there was more action and character development--the story would've been interesting if there was. Then there's Aunt Gwyneth. I just HATED her personality and the way she acted, as if she's better than everyone else. In the previous books, she was a villain for some time, but a GOOD one. I enjoyed her snappy comments and wily personality. But in this book, she's just an annoying bully who uses power and brute force to get what she wants. The plot was kind of cliche, too. The characters are living in a different world, where the only inhabitants are humans with special powers and strange creatures called firebirds. As the story progresses, the main characters eventually discover the existence of dragons. Now, where have I seen that before? I'm not saying the story needs to be completely original, but this plotline of people discovering that mythical creatures are real seems overused. The only reason I'm giving the book 2 stars instead of 1 is because D'Lacey describes everything in great detail and the world building is okay. Also, the cover is absolutely AMAZING. Seriously, it looks like a professional artist designed it. So if there are more books in the series after this one, I probably won't be reading them, because Fire World didn't live up to my expectations. This is my honest opinion.

This book shows great drama to the main character and the others. The best thing that was about this book was the funny Balloon goons. It made me laugh.
