The Emerald Atlas (Books of Beginning)

The Emerald Atlas (Books of Beginning)

By John Stephens

So I rated this book 3.5 stars. Don't get me wrong, this is a REALLY good book but I USED to be in LOVE with fantasy novels. Now I'm kind of a little older and I've been reading less Middle Reader Fantasy (this is the first fantasy novel that I've read in like, a year), and more Young Adult novels. I read this book like a month ago, but I decided not to read the whole series (which I have never done before, I always finish a book series) because I'm kind of growing out of the Fantasy genre. I kind of got bored with the characters, only because the somewhat stereotypical "three abandoned orphans" plot is overused a lot. I really liked how Gabriel and the Empress were described. The Empress was really ruthless, and it definitely showed throughout the book. Gabriel wasn't your typical strong hero that comes out of nowhere, his personality and emotions were really raw a well-plotted. This book kind of reminded me of the Narnia series because it was so full of adventure and magic. The pacing of the book was absolutely on point, which I loved. Anyway, I thought this book was a little bit over average, I know that people younger than me would enjoy it. There's a lot of really awesome elements like dwarves, a mysterious book, giants, and other mythical creatures. I would recommend this to the 9-11 year old range.

Class President (Marvin Redpost (Prebound))

Class President (Marvin Redpost (Prebound))

By Louis Sachar

This is a nice book that keeps the reader focused on the book and does not get put down once it gets picked up. In this book, everyone wore torn clothes and it did seem like a good idea until they got big news..the president- of the U.S.A. was coming for a visit. Solving a math problem, answering questions, laughing; it was a good chance to get one-on-one with the president. Many problems arise and then solve. At the end readers learn that mistakes can happen, but you must forgive them and move on. Overall, this was a good book that I loved and am sure everyone who reads it will like it, too.

Help! Somebody Get Me Out of Fourth Grade! #7 (Hank Zipzer)

Help! Somebody Get Me Out of Fourth Grade! #7 (Hank Zipzer)

By Henry Winkler, Lin Oliver

This is a nice book about a boy named Hank who is not the best student you will find. School is almost over and he there is one question that bothers him: Will he be able to continue to the next grade? He launches massive effort into the question like looking in a book, sending his parents for vacation, but all of his efforts fail. Finally, his parents attend the conference and Hank imagines what bad things his teacher is going to say. Probably something like "You're child is the biggest loser of all time and can not go to the next grade." Will he continue his journey or will he stay stuck in 4th grade and be a "loser?" This is a good book with interesting plots, plot twists, and an exciting climax.
