The Wampanoags (True Books: American Indians (Pb))
By Alice K. Flanagan
This book’s genre is history and it was written by Alice K. Flanagan. The Wampanoags lived happily in Michigan until the English came. The leader of the Wampanoags died, and his sons tried to keep the promise, but didn’t keep it and the English attacked the Wampanoags. The main characters are the Wampanoags. They are kind, generous, and had a happy life. Two key events that “added” to the plot was when Massiot, leader of the Wampanoags, died, and when the English attacked. The Wampanoags used to happily live in Rhode Island. Then they had to work in non-Indian communities. On page 48, it says, “American Indians now work in non-Indian communities.” One unanswered question I would like to ask the author is “Were the Wampanoags happy?” I enjoyed the pottery page because it is different from other pages. I would recommend this book because it is a history genre.

Aliens on Vacation (The Intergalactic Bed and Breakfast)
By Clete Smith
This is a really great book so far. I haven't finished it yet, but it seems like a fantastic book. So far, it's about a kid named David, and his nickname is Scrub. He is visiting his eccentric hippie grandmother from his hometown in Tampa, Florida to Washington, D.C. at her (Intergalactic) Bed and Breakfast. At first, Scrub thinks that he is going crazy when he sees her (odd) guests. But then, Scrub finds out just how crazy her guests really are! This is a heartwarming book about a boy who struggles with making new friends, fitting in, and staying out of trouble in this new town.
Pi in the Sky
By Wendy Mass
I rate this book as fair since I do not appreciate when the author, Wendy Mass, writes in too much explanation about the scientific materials that the protagonist, Joss, needs to create Earth again since his friend’s parents destroy it, but for an understandable reason. When Joss is with his human friend, Annika, they talk to a professor who knows about the ingredients needed to make the Earth the same way it used to be. The descriptions Mass writes makes the book duller since it is hard to understand how everything is and how it is put together. I additionally do not appreciate that when Annika came to where Joss lives, she realizes that Joss’ people are humans. Mass does not distinguish the difference between them and makes me feel as if it is normal for Annika to live there, when it is not. What I do appreciate about this book is Joss’ attributes since he is always modest. He is the seventh son of the Supreme Overlord of the Universe and also the youngest. He used to think that his job, delivering pies, was not important since his brothers have more important jobs, but even though one of his brothers reveal to him that he has an extremely important job and his family kept that a secret, he is still modest. Another quality I appreciate about Joss is that he does not give up. “Dad grips my shoulder. ‘Joss, I cannot bring her planet back. It does not exist anymore. You must accept it. Kal will always be alive in your memories.’ I cringe at his words. I can’t accept it, no matter what he says. I have no experience with losing anyone...I shake my head. ‘There must be something…’” (Mass, 33) This quote shows that when Joss’ dad tells Joss that he will never see Kal again, Joss will do everything he can to gain Kal and his family back again.
Who Is Pele? (Who Was?)
By James Buckley Jr., Who HQ
I think this is a great book because if you like soccer and want to know about one of the best players ever then hear is a book for you. He was born in a little town in Brazil. he won three world cups with the Brazil National Team. His dad was a soccer player too. I give this book a 5 star rating because it gave me so much more information on a soccer legend that I already knew but now I know everything about him. He goes down as the best soccer player in history. He finished his career off with 1281 goals. He donates money to charities and talks to kid to encourage them to play soccer.
Surf's Up, Geronimo! (Geronimo Stilton)
By Geronimo Stilton
I read this book in a jiffy and it was actually pretty decent. I bonded with this book because bad things have happened to me multiple times. Like Geronimo was having all these bad things occur to him. First it was listening to his cousin about booking a vacation in a sketchy spot. Next it was Geronimo going to the hotel and it being awful (the worst room he had ever seen). Lastly it was Geronimo getting fooled by his cousin and worker that made all the money off of Geronimo. Anyway was a chaotic vacation when Geronimo should've been relaxing!

Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens Lost Stars
By Claudia Gray
Zheltty
At the beginning I thought it was good, but my thoughts on it turned sour the farther I got. It has been a while since I read it, so I don’t remember everything that bothered me exactly, but I remember some. As a huge Star Wars fan, and big time reader of the legends series, I noticed a lot about this hook that was off. First of all, the story was decent, but it felt kinda inappropriate with the love story sometimes, especially since I came for a star Wars book, not a lovey dovey story. Not saying that it couldn’t have been good, just felt inappropriate scenes were there, at least to me. Second, and most importantly, it didn’t feel like Star Wars. I got the impression that the author didn’t know much at all about Star Wars... from how the universe worked at large to even small things like how combat works. In no universe would three tie fighters (still not entirely sure they were regular ties or interceptors, as the author said interceptors twice in passing and never again, and kept just saying tie fighters, so I don’t feel like she knew what those were either...) have any chance against four x-wings, if they were decent pilots, unless you had three Baron Fels in those ties, which they obviously didn’t. Not to mention an x-wing has both shield and proton torpedoes, both of which were never shown to be used. I just felt like the author didn’t do any research into the world, even easy things you could look up on a wiki or watch the first three movies. Oh, and I almost forgot, on hoth the author thought that the second person (gunner) in a snow speeder could shoot a cannon or something, but all they had was a tow cable. In all honestly, the only thing I think they got right in the book was the overall attitude of the empire. But that is all just my opinion. All I can say is if you are looking for a true Star Wars book, turn away, and go back to legends (especially the x-wing series, it’s amazing and shows TRUE piloting skills, a lot better than the two wannabes in this book)
