Rescued was a heartwarming story about two unlikely brothers John, and his pet orangutan Raja. John and Raja spent years closely together after John's business-man father brought him home as a pet. John and Raja did everything together; eat and play video games and exercise. But John and Raja are growing up, and troubles ensue. Then when John's parents are divorced, John and Raja are split up. Two years go by without them being able to see each other. Then John and his mom find out that John's dad is having financial difficulty, is moving, and selling Raja to a zoo. John goes to say a final goodbye, but finds that his companion is no longer a cute baby, but an adult orangutan who is lonely and angry. And things get even worse when John visits Raja in the zoo-and finds out it is more like a prison. So John and Raja are on the run. Will the two regain the friendship they had growing up? Will John find a home for Raja? This book was inspirational, even if it was predictable. I would recommend this book to animal lovers, and probably for older readers. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

it was pretty good I wouldn't read it again I am really just making this because i want another badge

I've read all the books in the Lemonade Series and LOVE all of them! I like the Lemonade War a little more, but I think that the new book in the series, The Magic Trap, is REALLY good. I liked it because in the other four books you only hear and hardly see the Treski's dad but in this book he is there almost the whole time, and it is interesting how different Jessie and Evan are around him. In this book, Evan is practicing magic tricks. Their mom needs to go on a trip, and their dad stays with them. He suggests Evan throw a magic show. All is well, and Jessie and Evan are just warming up to their dad when disaster strikes and some unexpected things happen bringing the magic show to their last priority and family first. It seems predictable in the middle, but you'll never guess what happens in the end. I hope everyone will enjoy this book as much as I did!

This is the 3rd book in the Willow Falls series written by Wendy Mass. In this book Tara is forced to visit her mom's home town, Willow Falls, due to an incident involving a stolen goat, a can of pepper spray, and the principal. At first Tara's bummed. But after arriving at Willow Falls Tara is starting to feel a little bit better. For the first time, she's making new friends, she and her cousin are finally getting along, she might meet Jake Harrison ( a teenage movie idol) and she's even directing a play! But when Tara learns the real reason she came to Willow Falls she's not so happy anymore. What will happen? This book teaches you the real meaning being family and friends. Read the book to find out! Happy Reading!

Elisha Cooper may have little words in her stories, but each word speaks meaningfully and has a meaning equivalent to a hundred words. Basically, this is a true tale of friendship good enough to move on for generations. In this book, a lonely, big cat who lives alone gats a new cat. Together, they play and eat and sleep, and give each other company. But friendships may not last forever, and the big cat leaves the little cat. The little cat, now a bigger cat, gets a new cat member, and it is up to the bigger cat to pass their friendship down.

Do you like doing homework? Well, this book takes care of that problem. It is about a group of kids (called the D-squad) that use a homework machine to get their work done. The name of the kid that invented the machine is a boy named Brenton, who is quite unusual. Brenton is a super intelligent kid and is a computer genius! The D-squad name the machine "Belch" because if anyone found out, the Homework Machine would get them in a LOT of trouble. They swore to not tell anybody any information about the machine. Eventually, the truth came out. I would rate this book 5 stars because of the suspense and personalities of the characters. One of the unique features in this book is that the story is written in point of view so you know how each character feels. I would like to give credit to Yetiman789 because he did this review with me.

This book (and play) is AMAZING. I was in the play and it's my favorite musical ever. This is about a little girl named Annie who learns that if you live a bad life, you can power through it and make "tomorrow" come once and for all.

This book is packed with laughs and is narrated in a way it's almost impossible to stop reading. You can't put it down once you start reading it! I loved this book so much I read at least twice in the same day!

Have you ever wondered what life at a freak show would be, or how would life be if you had to go against your morals just to survive? Well in the book i’m reviewing it is called Cirque Du Freak:The Vampire’s Assistant it is by: Darren Shan in the last book Darren the protagonist just got turned into a half vampire to save his best friend steve. While the antagonist is R.V (or reggie) because he freed the wolfman that got Darren’s new friend killed. The book has no certain time period although it can be inferred that it takes place in the late 90’s or early 2000’s also the setting jumps around a lot seeing how they are on the move for the good portion of the book but it does take place in a field, a small campsite and a train station (also a couple farms). One major conflict is when R.V releases the wolfman and it killed sam and a few freaks. The second major conflict faced throughout the book is that Darren does not want to drink human blood even if it means he will die. The turning point is when Darren drinks the blood of his fallen friend to save the memories that would be lost. I would recommend this book to people who like long series and books that are a bit more grown up, this book is more for 6th graders or older.

This book is about a girl named Amelia, who’s sister, Clara, died a few years ago from an accident in the town’s lake. She’s starting eighth grade, and just wants everything to seem like they were the same. But when she receives Clara’s letter to her future self that she wrote back in sixth grade, instead of her own’s, she discovers a list of things that her sister had wanted to do. Amelia decides to finish the list her sister never got to do, so maybe she’ll stop hurting and become like what she was before. However, soon, Amelia realizes that she’ll never go back to being her old self, and that was okay! This is a really great book, and I would reccommend it! ;)
