11-year-old Morrigan Crow has always been blamed for everything. Since she was born on an Eventide, the beginning of a new age in her town Jackalfax, she is cursed to die on midnight the next Eventide, along with all the other kids that were unluckily born on that day as well, which makes her a bad-luck charm throughout her town. But when Eventide unexpectedly occurs early, Morrigan receives a mysterious letter from a man called Jupiter North, asking her to become his apprentice. It's an amazing opportunity, and even though it's almost midnight, she signs it, as all her hope is not yet lost. Suddenly, a strange man appears in her room, and with a narrow escape from midnight that Eventide, they crash through the massive clock tower of the town and are transported into seemingly into another world, a magical place called Nevermoor, thus cheating her death! The man, as Morrigan finds out, is the one and only Jupiter North! He brings her to his grand hotel and he tells her that he is entering her into a series of trials determining if she can get into the prestigious Wundrous Society, something Morrigan soon desperately wants to become part of, so she can finally be part of a family. She will have to compete against 500 other kids who are also competing for the few spots available, and if she can make it past the first few trials, she will have to present her special "knack" to the judges. But Morrigan has no clue what her special talent is, or how she'll figure it out! This question presses her as she is tested through every twist and turn of the Trials. Will Morrigan ever figure out her knack and become part of the Wondrous Society? Or will she have to be taken back to Jackalfax and face a terrible fate? I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS BOOK! No joke, this is literally one of my favorite books OF. ALL. TIME!! If it was possible to give this book 10 stars, I would!! The plot is gripping and magical. I loved the action and suspense of the Trials, and one of my favorite parts is Christmas-- it is so so good! I cannot wait until the next book comes out! Jessica Townsend is a fantastic author and I love how she shaped the characters throughout the book. I really enjoyed this book, and I highly recommend this book to any fantasy-loving person, and everybody else as well! :)

March17, 2014 What I liked about Goosebumps Most Wanted Planet of the Lawn Gnomes By: Carter If you like scary stories and everything about scary stories, Goosebumps Most Wanted Planet of the Lawn Gnomes by R.L Stine is the book for you. What happens is Jay Gardener just moved and he keeps getting in trouble it is never his fault! In every yard is a lawn gnome. Jay hates those lawn gnomes so much. I really like that it is scary and that a black bird almost ate his dog. The last reason I like it is a lawn gnome made an M on his head. This is why you should read this book.

Have you ever read The Undefeated? The authors of this book are Kuame Alexander and Kadir Nelson. The book was written on May 11 2018. This is a good book because they have some famous people who broke records and made their place in history. This book took place all around the world. The famous musicians, boxers, basketball players, swimmers got hurt during their lifetime. They came to the United States because they weren’t treated right. They stayed brave and positive. It ended really well. I like this book a lot. My favorite part of this book is, I like how they describe The Undefeated. I also like how they said, “ The ones who scored with chains in one hand and faith in the other”. I like how they stand up for themselves. This story makes me feel the emotions of the characters. It made me feel like I should be strong because they said some people are unflappable. It shows me all the people that died because people don’t like black people. It makes me want to help them out and stick up for them. It is not fair to judge people who are different than yourself. This book is a good book because it shows all the undefeated people that are famous, or made a place in history. The message is to be strong, be positive. I think my mom and dad would like this book because they would be interested in it and like it a lot. I would not recommend this to my cousins Cooper, Coner, and CJ because they would think it is a funny suggestion from them. This book is one that all people should take time to read because it is always the reader to see the world in another person’s shoes.

Camryn Augustyn 11-13-2020 MCDS 4-19 Language Arts Do you like to dance? Good, because today I am going to be talking about the book Katerina Ballerina by Tiler Peck and Kyle Harris and the illustrator of this book is Sumiti Collina. The book was written in May 2020. I thought the book was well written because it captured all the action and it made me want to keep reading and reading the book! In the story, Katerina Ballerina, Katerina is the main character. The story usually took place at home, school, or ballet. But there is a problem, Katirina’s dad was running low on money to pay for her ballet lessons. When Katirina found out about that she immediately went to town and danced to make some money to pay for her ballet lessons herself, but her dad would not let her. At her ballet there was a show where you could perform a dance that you made up on stage and Katirina decided to do it with her friend, but right before they went on stage her friend got hurt, so Katirina had to do it by herself. What will happen,........SHE WON!!! And she got to take free ballet lessons. Some things that I like most about the book were it captured all the details like what they said, did, and thought. Another thing that I like about the book was there was a problem and it went throughout the story so it made me want to keep reading it to see what would happen next. My last favorite thing about the book is I liked how the story was ordered. This paragraph is going to be my opinion of the characters in the story! The first character that I am going to be talking about is Katirina. In the story, Katrina is the main character,I thought she was a really good character in the story because she told the story really well and had good character traits. The second character is Katirina’s dad. I liked Katirina’s dad as one of the characters because he was nice to Katirina, but he was not one of my favorite characters because he did not have much to say. The next character is Katirina’s friend. Katirina’s friend is one of my favorite characters because she was a good friend and I would love to be her friend. Also the story would be very different without her in it. The last character is Katirina’s dog. The dog is one of my favorite characters because he sounded really cute and friendly in the story, even though they did not really talk about him too much I still think he is an important character. Those are some of my opinions of the characters!!! If you like to dance then this book is definitely for you and I recommend it, because it is a really good story and you will want to keep reading it to see what will happen next! If you do not like dance or are not interested in it then this book is probably not for you because it is about a girl who dances.

This book is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! I love it. It has everything a book could have!!! I wouldn't say it's for KIDS, because there is scenes that are more mature....one time, there were two people making out in the bathroom.... I say it's mostly for girls...not trying to be all steortypic, but boys really shouldn't read this...it there is jokes about periods and stuff...But it's a really good book! I love it! And I'm in 5th grade.. Kinda violent...Unless your parent are chill about what you read, you really shouldn't read this.. But great comic!!! I am inspired by it! Quite a touching ending!!! 10/10!!!

This is probobly the best book anyone can read ( I think) ! It's about two friends who find their way out of their home, the dying city of Ember. I reccamend this book to everyone who liked to read either Rick Riordan books, J.K Rowling books, and Suzanne Collins books.

“When will my reflection show who I am inside.” I’ve always been a fan of Mulan. The movie is stunning. As a little girl I thought Mulan was amazing, but now I see her as an inspiration to all women. Reflection by Elizabeth Lim is a masterpiece. I loved the characters and plot twists so much. Speaking of… ***Characters*** Fa Mulan/Ping- Mulan (like I said) is an inspiration to all women out there. I liked how she made everyone believe that Ping is an actual person. Women make strong men! Respect for Mulan… Li Shang- Was a very mysterious character. I loved how he was bold and strong at first, but opened up to Mulan about his feelings and even his feelings for her. I like how he developed after his visit to the underworld (Diyu). ***Setting*** Diyu was a very nice and planned out setting. It really showed that Lim took the time and effort to plan it out. Every single thing is carefully planned and described for us readers, from the sky to the grass under Mulan’s feet. As an author-in-progress, Elizabeth Lim is an author that I look up to now. I am taking her work as an example for my writing! Look out for a ‘Dedicated to Elizabeth Lim’ novel! In all… I really liked this book. It is definitely a book to look out for! March 27, 2018! Oh! And did you see the gorgeous final cover? I am buying a second copy! Five stars from me! I received an ARC from Disney Hyperion; this has not influenced my opinion in any way.

i think that the movie was great and funny but the ending was sad so i didnt think it was good

I recommend this book to any sci-fi lovers out there. Coville did a great job explaining a lot of things. SPOILERSS:For example, he did a good job explaining how the teacher looks like!
