The Impossible Knife of Memory

The Impossible Knife of Memory

By Laurie Halse Anderson

Just like her book "Speak"...this one is another good one for that one rainy day when you're all alone. I'll admit...it was a little long if you jusdge a book by its size but it was worth the hours to read. A heartfelt, drama, and comedy all wrapped into one. (Psst: Finnegan is so smooth...i cant...lol)

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

By Robert Louis Stevenson

The lesson that DR. Jekyll learns is that he shouldn't have taken the drug because it changes his life forever. For example, when DR. Jekyll turns into Hyde, his personality changes into evil. He can be hazardous because in the book it says that he killed someone and ran away. This shows that trying to change yourself has very negative affects. For one, he can't spend time with the people he likes, for fear of turning into Hyde, and he can't do his projects because he might turn into Hyde. Also,now people are going to keep an eye on Hyde and if someone sees him turn back into Jekyll, then it will be really risky. DR. Jekyll will be in a worse situation because of it and now, he can never be himself without Hyde. If Jekyll didn't take the drug, he would be better off without Hyde around. I rate this book a “7 out of 10” and the illustrations a “5 out of 10.” I really recommend this book because it is full of mystery and action and after every page there is a picture, which makes it very easy to visualize. One unanswered question I would like to ask is… What made MR. Hyde so evil? Was it something in the drug? If so, would Jekyll still have some control over Hyde because Jekyll has the same brain when he turns into Hyde?

I really like this book and really recommend it.

By Lauren Tarshis

Do you like book reading books about the revolutionary war? If so, I recommend this book. It is about a boy who runs away and almost gets killed. He meets a lot of people that are nice. He helps out by digging trenches and carrying water buckets. He also helps during the fight when someone dies. The story is good because he meets an old friend during the war. My favorite part is when Nate runs away from Storch. They story is good because it has a lot of action. I can connect to tis book because Nate has a lot of fiends who nice and I have a lot of Friends who are nice. I like this book because it is about the Revolutionary War. I also like it because Nate meets a lot of people and helps out during the war. I recommend this book to 4th and 5th graders and others who want to learn about the Revolutionary War.

Revenge of the Witch (Last Apprentice)

Revenge of the Witch (Last Apprentice)

By Joseph Delaney

Okay I'm gonna be honest, when I first started reading it seemed just like an average crappy dark fanstasy novel. But lord, this series really does pick up steam. Ive been reading all of the books on and off for the past year or two, and I just finished the last book. Joseph Delaney really did put a lot of effort into this series and it totally pays off. Hes got an awesome way of creating imagery that gives you a sort of eerie feeling, and he is incredible at giving things detailed history that makes you hungry for lore and the history of chippenden and the world outside of the county. Amazing all around.
