Kids Books - Family

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.

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.

In this book, twins Nick and Eryn are normal twins. Then they are told they are moving with their mom's new husband, Michael.

Then they sneak to their house, and find out that they are robots! Then, their mom tells them that Ava and Jackson are a test and grown-ups are robots, they go on a long trip and find some strange stuff...

Through the looking glass and what Alice found there by Lewis Carroll number of pages 185. The main events of my story were, Alice met Humpty Dumpty. Humpty then told her the way to find the way to find the Queens. Alice found the chess pieces and one of them was the Red Queen and the other was the White Queen. Then Alice met two knights and one of the knights wanted to capture her. Then in end Alice found the Queens again. They turned Alice into a queen! Alice had to learn all of the rules of being a true queen. I did like this book at some parts but, some of it did not make sence. When I finished it and thought about it, it all came together. The reason I liked it was because it is funny and it is how in the end Alice became Queen Alice. She was super cool about having to learn all the rules about being a queen.

I have read this book and all the others in its series. I think that it is probably the best book that I have ever read; and I have read about 300 books in my life. Literally Would not change a thing about it and I have no angry thoughts on this book and its series and I strongly think that the author, Neal Shusterman is an amazing author. I have read almost all of his books and you should to.

Fantastic book! can't wait for the next one! When three queens want the crown, no joke, they can get it! One sister was born with powers that are strong, and great! One sister still was slowly developing hers, while the other seemed powerless, until she dug deeper into the situation. This book will have you fighting over love, and clinging to the sides of the book so hard, you leave a dent. You will support every queen with your life, and beg that they don't die.

I always see inspirational poems and quotes all around my school, which really made me think about this book. Fourth grader Ida B is always living her life the same, by going outside and listening to the trees talk when all of a sudden the punk out of the trees ,Paulie T, warns Ida B about something bad that is going to happen. Of course Paulie T never tells the truth so Ida B doesn't believe him. Ida B soon finds out she is going to have to go to school and she is excited. When she got to school everything goes bad, her teacher calls her Ida (which you don't call her that because that's her mom's name,)she has to follow a LOT of rules, and doesn't get to have fun. So eventually after two weeks in school her parents announce that she is going to be home-schooled. Everything was fine until a couple years later, on one early morning ,her parents aren't acting the same. She asks what happened and they refuse to tell. Later they finally confess to her mom being diagnosed with cancer. Read more to see what happened! My connection to this book is that my grandma got diagnosed with cancer and passed away a month later.

Travel Team is about 12 year Danny Walker, an amazing basketball player. He has always been the smallest on the court but at the same time he was one of the best. So when Danny gets cut from his 7th grade travel team, the same team his NBA star father, Richie Walker lead to victory, Danny is devastated. Richie soon comes to visit but finds out he will be staying, to create his own team. The team may run into rivalry's but they are also giving the underdogs a chance for once. I would recommend this book to anyone who can relate to being the underdog or who plays basketball their selves.

This is a great book! I first heard about it from my teacher, and when I got it I couldn't put it down! It's about this boy named Jack Blank doesn't know who or where he comes from. He doesn't even know his real last name. All Jack knows is his bleak, dreary life at St. Barnaby's Home for the Hopeless, Abandoned, Forgotten, and Lost. Everything changes one morning when Jack receives two visitors. The first is a deadly robot straight out of one of Jack's favorite comic books, that tries its best to blow him up. The second is an emissary from a secret country called the Imagine Nation, where all the fantastic and unbelievable things in our world originate, including Jack. Jack soon discovers that he has an amazing ability - one that could make him the savior of the Imagine Nation and the world beyond, or the biggest threat they've ever faced. It's so amazing! They also have a sequel to it called the Secret War. I suggest you read this book fast because it's hard to get a copy at the library!

I love it because he’s a unicorn who lives with narwhals and thinks he’s one. Then he sees a unicorn so he swims up to land to get to the unicorn then he finds all of them he wants to live with the unicorns but all at the same time with his friends friends then he finds a way to live with both. I like it because it tells us a message that we all are different some same on the outside but so so different on the inside like pretend you’re favorite color is red and mines blue but somebody’s elses favorite color could be red too but we might have different favorite foods. I think you should read this book or if you’re having a bad day it might cheer you up. I think the nawale was cute!
