The Witches

The Witches

By Roald Dahl

This story is about a boy who lived with his grandmother in Norway. They wanted to get rid of all the horrible witches in England and MOSTLY of the wicked GRAND HIGH WITCH who is the one who rules all the cruel witches. But there was a problem.......... What will happen when they go to the Hotel Magnificent? Who are they going to meet? Will boy and his grandmother get what they want? I enjoyed this book because it gives you a lot of suspense. Roald Dahl shows that he is on the children´s side. My favourite part of the story is when boy puts the mouse maker in the soup.I love the way Roald Dahl invents words and makes his characters REALLY interesting. I recommend this book to children who are 8 or more years old. This book is just right for the ones who like adventures and suspense. Roald Dahl is a fantastic writer because he uses a lot of adjectives, he describes very well and includes suspense in the stories.

Took: A Ghost Story

Took: A Ghost Story

By Mary Downing Hahn

I think this book is fair because it’s suspenseful. The main character, Daniel, has just moved to West Virginia with his family. Daniel and his little sister, Erica, suspect something suspicious around their house and they feel like someone’s always watching them. Old Auntie, an evil witch that lives nearby, spies on them. She plans to take Erica and use her as a servant for 50 years and then let her go, like she did for other girls. Daniel’s family doesn’t believe in Old Auntie, but everybody in their town says that she’s real. Old Auntie lured Erica into her cabin through a doll that Erica always talks to about Old Auntie, although nobody else can hear it. Daniel and Erica go into the woods, where Old Auntie lives because they were searching for Erica’s doll. Erica runs away because Daniel was being mean to her, and then later gets taken by Old Auntie. Daniel goes to one of Old Auntie’s descendants, who wanted to help him, and learns the only way to get his sister back. Daniel learns that Old Auntie is real when he confronts her, and takes her sister back and runs home. I think that this book could be better, because the end isn’t interesting. In the resolution, Daniel gets his sister back and Old Auntie is destroyed. If Old Auntie was still chasing after Daniel, the story could be more interesting if everybody saw Old Auntie, especially Daniel’s parents. Also, if the story didn’t end the way Daniel wanted it to end, it wouldn’t be as boring. It’s almost like a fairy tale, because it ends happily and it has an unrealistic character in it. I think that this book would have a good cliffhanger which would be able to start another book, but the author ended it in a way that makes readers not think or wonder about the book at all afterwards.

Dragonwatch: A Fablehaven Adventure

Dragonwatch: A Fablehaven Adventure

By Brandon Mull

this book is the best! Its about a brother and sister who have previous experiences the world of Fablehaven (series is called Fablehaven, totally recommend it ) and they are recruited to be the new caretakers of the dragon sanctuary Wyrmoost, to prevent a dragon uprising. This is an amazing book and I totally recommend it if you liked the prequel series Fablehaven.

The Frog Princess

The Frog Princess

By E. D Baker

The Frog Princess is one of my favorite books. Princess Emeralda, otherwise known as Princess Emma, is not your typical princess. She is clumsy, and has the laugh of a donkey, and she doesn't like the self-centered Prince Jorge who her mother wants her to marry. Instead she likes to explore the swamp and and learning about magic from her Aunt Grassina. One day when she is in her favorite place-the swamp, she meets a talking frog named Eadric. Eadric claims to be a prince, and he needs Emma to kiss him to turn him back into a prince. Emma consents, but something goes horribly wrong when Emma turns into a frog as well. Now Emma and Eadric must make a journey full of danger and predators in order to find a cure. I absolutely love this book, and the rest of the series. E.D. Baker is a fantastic writer, and her stories are weaved with magic and plot twists! I recommend this book to middle grade kids, around ages 8-12. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.

Flipped

Flipped

By Wendelin Van Draanen

It may not be the most original idea ever, but the execution of the book makes up for that and more. On a whole, this was a feel-good book, with slight humor. It wasn't exactly a fast-paced thrill-a-minute book, but somehow you could still sit and read it without it being forced. Flipped made it so that you could see things vicariously through Juli(anna) AND Bryce, instead of just being stuck in one P.O.V. A rich journey full of inspiring and satisfying moments, this book will set the bar high for all others.

Stand Up, Yumi Chung!

Stand Up, Yumi Chung!

By Jessica Kim

Stand Up Yumi Chung is a great book that inspires kids of all ages to be your true self. Yumi Chung loves comedy, only her parents don't approve of it. They want Yumi to be more like her sister and focus on her education to get good job. They even send her to a tutoring place to get her prepared! However, when Yumi finds out there is a comedy club right where she lives, she can't resist going inside, and that's when things start to get weird. Yumi gets mistaken for an absent girl named Kay, and Yumi doesn't correct them. It's her chance to be who SHE wants to be, and not her parents. But what will happen when her parents and new friends from comedy camp figure out about her identity? How can she balance both her lives and not let her secret slip, especially when her family restaurant is losing money? Yumi is forced to make a choice: Either be the person she wants to be, or let her parents decide her future for her. This book has everything to show that just being yourself is enough, and you get to do whatever makes you happy in life. I rate this book 4 stars!
