The School is Alive!: A Branches Book (Eerie Elementary #1)

The School is Alive!: A Branches Book (Eerie Elementary #1)

By Jack Chabert

"School just got scarier!"- Sam Graves is Eerie Elementary's hall monitor. He has to wear an orange sash. On his first day as hall monitor, Sam Graves discovers that his school is alive and is hungry for kids! Only Sam can defeat the school, and his friends decide to help, too! The story ends like a normal book, but the middle was great! The book was very quick, but still enjoyable. The beginning was good but I think the rest is better. My favorite part is when Antonio's PB&J sandwich saves his friends.. The drawings are really good and probably took a while to work on! I would say it would take 40+ minutes to read this book. I loved how there was an illustration on every page. Jack Chabert and Sam Ricks published this book on June 24, 2014. Jack Chabert was once a hall monitor just like Sam, but his school was not alive. Today, Jack Chabert monitors the halls a different building: an apartment. Sam Ricks went to a haunted grade school, but just like Jack's school, it was not alive. He teaches illustration and design at an art institute. At the end of the book, Sam knew it would be a while before the school strikes again, so he has a lot of time to train himself before the school rises again! I think the book would be better if there was little minions that Sam had to fight, but even without them it is still an amazing book! I am looking forward to reading the second book of the Eerie Elementary series! I enjoyed this book and I give a 5/5. I recommend this book to anybody who thinks school is scary enough.

My daughter read this book. When I heard her crying from her bedroom I went to see what was the matter. As I calmed her down I started to read the last couple of chapters. The book was very engaging and the author does a great job of invoking emotion however this was my problem. The story describes a strong loving relationship about a boy and his dog "Searchlight" and goes to great length to pull you in to this relationship. With in an instant and right at the climactic point / end of the story "His heart bursts and he drops dead" WOW really he couldn't have broke a leg or pulled a muscle!?! The author is great and the story is well told. I'm not sure that young children should have to experience the devastation of death so harshly. I believe enjoyment of reading will promote more reading however not sure this book will leave the right impression on a young reader. I almost feel as it should have some sort of warning label or rating like " PG 13"

I did not like this book at all! I had read Ms. Bixby's Last day, another book by this author and loved it. It is about a kid, Eric who is dealing with a no phone policy, friends, and girls. It was not very put together, and was a disappointment. I would tell readers to NOT read this book.

Black Beauty (100 Copy Limited Edition)

Black Beauty (100 Copy Limited Edition)

By Anna Sewell

The story about Black Beauty had been started when he was just a foal. He was described as a horse with black coat, along with the black mane. But once when he got older, he got sold to many different hands (people who works with horses) such like; Squire and Lady Gordon, Miss W--, Miss Anna, etc. Beauty also friends with other horses; Merrylegs, Ginger, and Captain. Even though this book is fictional but the way the author, Anna Sewell wrote about Black Beauty has just felt so real. I had really enjoyed this book and this book would be perfect for any horses-lovers. - Happy Reading!

Captain Underpants and the Sensational Saga of Sir Stinks-A-Lot (Captain Underpants #12)

By Dav Pilkey

There's something rotten in the state of Ohio, and it's smellier than a pile of putrid gym socks! Steer clear -- it's Sir Stinks-A-Lot! George and Harold, and their doubles, Yesterday George and Yesterday Harold, have a good thing going. Two of them go to school, while the other two hide in the tree house and play video games all day -- then they switch! But when their malicious gym teacher, Mr. Meaner, creates a method of mind-control that turns their fellow students into attentive, obedient, perfect children, the future of all humanity will be in their hands Captain Underpants is so awesome! This one was super funny. George and Harold are the best! I wish I could be friends with them in real life and go on crazy adventures Exciting book I can’t wait to read the next one and I love the author!!!!! It was super fun and awesome to This final book in the Captain Underpants series is the best book in all of the series! It is funny and horrifying as the series comes to an end.Reading this book was kind of cool. Although, when I saw the drawing of the P.E. coach's armpit stink thing, it made my stomach flop. I legit also heard my stomach gurgle because the stink made me SICK. I never knew the drawings would hurt me that much. I did not like the book. The story makes no sense and jumps around. If I were you I would not read this book! I liked this book. I liked the gym teacher's advice," My advice for you is for you not to follow my advice said the gym teacher,' I think it was funny. I would have liked this book even more if the series continued Ok, I was not sure about this book. And you people seem to like it so I will try it out :)

The Outsiders

The Outsiders

By S.E. Hinton

I had to read this book for school, it was a very good book. It is like a coming-of-age book. It's very sad close to the end but overall it's very good and I would recommend this to other people. "Stay gold Ponyboy" if you know, you know..
