Cinder
ragestargate75 starsThis book is incredible. Marissa Meyer puts her own spin on the classic tale of Cinderella with Cinder. It is a futuristic and (slightly) dystopian fiction novel. The story follows Cinder, a looked down upon, abused, and bullied cyborg. When the prince meets her and develops a crush for her, he...
Sounder
jolly_ali5 starsMy favorite part happens when Sounder went away to heal, because, this story is emotional for readers. Especially when the father was taken away to do free cropping hard labor fieldwork. This was not fair because the father only took the ham, after the man he worked refused to pay him fairly afte...

Latest Kids Book Reviews
Wonder
felicisowl5 starsWonder was a book I first read 2 years ago, and over the years, I just couldn't stop re-reading it. The kids at my school call this book "childish", "horrible," and "weird just like the kid in the book." I think just the opposite. August is a normal kid on the inside, but not on the outside. ...
The Blood Of Olympus (The Heroes of Olympus, Book 5)

The seven are all on board the Argo II, and are heading towards Rome to stop the end of the world. Jason, the blond Superman whose mother died when ...
Guts
penguintube5 starsGuts is a great book. Mostly I love the inspiration of Raina Telgemeier of her true stories of her life. She makes a good author and a good author would give some laughs, excitement, or Funny things people might be scared of. There is still more comedic books out there. I've always wanted to be a...

Call of the Wild and White Fang
redheadperson221 starWarning! This review may contain spoilers. Call of the wild: A dog named Buck is kidnapped (or dognapped), and force to work as a sled dog. I didn't read White Fang.

The Twisted Ones (Five Nights at Freddy's)
- KnightRead the book pretty quickly, buying it the day it came out in bookstores. I was in high hopes for it, and I found it mostly good compared to its predecessor. However, the ending and overall plot ate at me, and I still didn't feel I had answers after the book was over. A lot of the book felt stre...
