Rump is quite a remarkable book and is loosely based on the author's struggles. It's about a boy, Rump, living in the gold-mining part of a kingdom. He doesn't know much about his family history, due to his grandmother never really telling him. He doesn't even know his whole name, only that it begins with "rump", and that makes him a target of bullying. But when his grandmother dies, he is pushed to the edge. He learns of his magical powers to spin straw into gold, and he goes on an incredible adventure. He faces many obstacles over the period of a year, but he ends up with a satisfying conclusion. This book was great and it tells the amazing story of Rumpelstiltskin, some of which was never included in the original (or boring) versions.Almost 6 years agojeffdaboss has read this book.

The National Geographic Kids Almanac 2018 is not only filled with interesting facts but is also very colorful! Every page in this book is filled with pictures and facts! By looking at the cover of this book, I was very interested and flipped through the pages. I wasn't surprised with all the color and facts in the book on every page because you would know that National Geographic books are all like this. I think that everyone will enjoy this no matter what age you are. I read this book with my mom and we were both very interested. I rate this almanac 4/5 and recommend it for any age, but target it at second through 8th graders.Almost 6 years agoswirlycool added a book review.
This book is about an author who was walking to an appointment when 2 gentlemen got into his way. They asked him for the book he was working on. The author said they needed to be more specific. One of the men said that he is old and he doesn't hear right. The author got his walking stick and used it to hit him in the cheek. Right then one of the men shot the author and stole his book. The author got help though, but the thieves got away with it! Now they have to get the book back someway, but in the mean time it's going to be about Emily, a girl whose family is having an adventure of trying to live in every state of the U.S. They are moving to California. Emily once loved it, to experience new places. Then they were in traffic. When they finally arrived, they started claiming rooms of the new place they would live in. Later, they start talking about the author, who's name is Garrison Grisworld. When Emily heard that James met him, she was so surprised because she wanted to meet him real bad. Then James mentioned he didn't show up somewhere when he was suppose to. Then Emily got all worried, but then James told her that they just found out that he didn't disappear, he was in the hospital. Will Emily help Garrison Grisworld find the thieves that stole his book?Almost 6 years agojeffdaboss added a new comment in
I should win this quartet because I loved the first book, and I will definitely review the next three books as I have the first.Almost 6 years agosnicker9's book review was featured in Book Scavenger (The Book Scavenger series).
Emily and her family have been moving across the United States for most of her life. Her parents have the goal of living in all 50 states, and so they rarely live in one place for more than a few months. Now Emily, her brother Matthew and their parents are moving to San Francisco where Emily's "literary idol", Garrison Griswold (also known as the Willy Wonka of the literary world), lives. Griswold, among other endeavours, created the Book Scavenger (an game where people find books hidden in cities by using clues and puzzles. Unfortunately, just weeks before Garrison plans on launching a new game, he is attacked and hospitalized with a coma. Then Emily (and her new friend James) find an interesting book, which Emily is sure is part of Griswold's new game. But it turns out that solving this mystery is more dangerous than they thought. I really enjoyed this book. There was mystery and intrigue, and it was a true book adventure. I enjoyed watching Emily and James' friendship develop, especially since having a friend was really a new experience for Emily. I would recommend this book to middle school aged kids and above, especially mystery lovers. I think that people who enjoyed "Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library" would enjoy this book as well. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.Almost 6 years agosnicker9 added a book review.

The Bad Guys was a nice, quick read. It's about a wolf, a shark, a snake, and a piranha. They are all commonly known to be bad guys because of what they did in the past. The wolf wants to change that and make them heroes, but the others aren't so willing. But once they rescue someone, they realize that it feels good to be good. This book has great themes and is a very quick read. This book is great for young children.Almost 6 years ago
