Pillage

Pillage

By Obert Skye

Pillage was alright. What I felt after reading this was that it was a poorly-stitched-together story. First of all, the emotions were not expressed at ALL. Beck says the word "Grow," the ivy grows, and almost no reaction there. Basically: Oh, yeah, I can make plants bow to me at my command, no big deal. So the emotions weren't very realistic. The author did have a more realistic view of Beck's view on Kate, but very unromantic part when he kisses her. If you're actually going to have romance in a book, make it worth it! Worth noting, I didn't feel any sort of attachment to Beck, Kate, Milo, or any of the characters in the book. Third, this book is a bit of a whirlwind, jumping from one event to the next. Fourth, at the end of the book, not much of an epic conflict at all. And since when does the law give in so easily?! I mean, the video of the dragons could have been Photoshopped, for all they know, to cover up an incident where muggers lope into Kingsport and trash the place. On the pro's side: Clean language and easy-reading. 9-11 year olds is all I can recommend this to.

The Name of the Star (The Shades of London)

The Name of the Star (The Shades of London)

By Maureen Johnson

Honestly, this book was great, but it violent and slightly disturbing. It got weird at the part where the person fixed the video feed and replayed the history. It showed the victim getting chased by an invisible person and being slashed to death by a ghost. Alright, now to the plot: Rory arrived at a boarding school in England the same day that the Jack the Ripper reenactments started. Rory almost chokes to death and then she can see ghosts. The new serial killer turns out to be a ghost. She sees him one night before he murders someone and then she becomes his next target. A ghost kills him with a weapon that destroys them both right before he kills her. The end :/

Nate the Great

Nate the Great

By Marjorie Weinman Sharmat

Book Review by Tobot the Robot - If you like mysteries, this is the book for you. My book is called Nate the Great. The author is Marjorie Weinman Sharmat. This book is part of a series. This book is fiction. Nate the Great is a detective. Someone is missing a picture. Read to find out what happens I give this book four stars because the picture was hard to find and I like that. I wish there were more mysteries. I wish there was more action. This book is at my perfect reading level. I liked the pictures and the ending. I recommend this book for kids 7 to 9. .

Nick and Tesla's Super-Cyborg Gadget Glove: A Mystery with a Blinking, Beeping, Voice-Recording Gadget Glove You Can Build Yourself

By Bob Pflugfelder, Steve Hockensmith

This book series is really cool.I love the fact that they add science experiments in the book that you can do at home.I have read the book,and I think it was awesome.It's about Nick and Tesla's uncle going to a museum to fix robots (Well as Nick and Tesla would call them "Animatronics").The sciencetist before there Uncle Newt was there fixing and building the Animatronics,but they went wrong and the museum fired him.Uncle Newt has the same problem the previous scientist was having,and some other new problems.Tesla is starting to think someone is sabotaging it,but Nick just thinks Tesla is trying to get into more trouble to solve.There's a secret in the museum Tesla,Nick,DeMarco,and Silas want to know about,but no one will tell them.Maybe the super secret thing people are guarding has to do with "The sabotage".I'll let you figure that part out.

Disney Lands (Kingdom Keepers: The Return)

Disney Lands (Kingdom Keepers: The Return)

By Ridley Pearson

This book was amazing. It was a very fast read as well. I read it in one afternoon, I was so entranced. This series is a spin-off from Kingdom Keepers. The Return series is basically about the life after Kingdom Keepers "ends". This book is confusing if you have not read the Kingdom Keepers. The enemies, the people, the relationships-you can't understand the story and the layout if you have not read the original series. I recommend this book to Ridley Pearson, Disney, and fantasy fans. I believe many will enjoy this book. Also be aware that there are intense scenes. So it might be wise for parents to approve the book first.
