The Marvels

The Marvels

By Brian Selznick

This book was so breathtaking! The illustrations were beautiful, and the story was well-written. I think this author really knows what he is doing; he's created THREE best-selling novels loaded with fascinating drawings and impressive stories. But THIS book is about a boy named Billy Marvel who is rescued and sent to England after a tragic shipwreck. He then discovers the Royal Theater, where he finds he truly belongs. One day, he finds a baby boy on his doorstep, and takes him in as one of his own. This boy adapts to the theater, has a son, and the story continues. The story then skips ahead to 1990. A new boy named Joseph is in search for his uncle after running away from his strict school with his friend, Blink. A mysterious friend, Frankie, helps Joseph find his uncle, but his uncle refuses to take him in. Eventually, he agrees, but not for long. Read to find out what happens next! This book is SO good, so read it!

If you are a fan of mythology, than this book is for you! When I started reading this serie I wasn't interested by mythology at all, but now I can see how people can dedicte their life to this kind of thing. Percy Jackson lives with his mom in New York and he has dyslexia, along with a lot of other problems. He has never been to a school more than a year because weird things happen to him all the time. At the end of Grade 6, Percy gets attacked by a monster. His life starts to become weirder and weirder. Luckily, he has his friend Grover to support him. What will happen to Percy? Will he get attacked by more monsters, and what is his dedicated future?

This is a really good book that follows the first book well. The only thing I wish is that there would be another book in this series. This is a great book.

Dog Tags #4: Divided We Fall

By C. Alexander London

This book is about war and how a soldier and a dog are super great and the best partners ever. The dog and the soldier go a cross the world having wars but when they are together they can not be stopped. I made a connection with this book because my older brother read this and recommended it to me. If you like dogs you will definitely love this book because a dog is a hero. I gave this book a five star because it has so much good and loving moments you might even cry about it.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (Step-up adventures)

By Judith Conaway

I gave this book a 4 star rating because it caught my attention. This book is about the story of three accidental visitors to an underwater world hosted by the mysterious Captain Nemo. From their arrival on board the Nautilus, the scholarly Professor Aronnax, loyal Conseil, and adventurous Ned Land are torn between exploring the new wonders of their surroundings and finding a way to escape. They originally went to Nautilus to find out what species of undiscovered whale has been damaging world shipping. However, far from encountering a whale that has wrecked world shipping, they soon find themselves on the iron plating of a new kind of vessel, a submarine. Read this book to find out more. I made a connection with this book because I saw the front cover had the tentacles and the tentacles were wrapped around the ship and the ship looked like it was sinking.

Cam Jansen: The Mystery of the Television Dog #4

Cam Jansen: The Mystery of the Television Dog #4

By David A. Adler

Cam Jansen went to a book signing from a famous dog. The famous dog had white fur and black spots. Someone switched him out with a fake all white dog that had shoe polish rubbed on the exact same spots. Cam follows this strand looking man with a dog and he is cutting up words from a magazine and gluing them down on a sheet of paper. The guy is eventually caught and the real famous dog is back with its owner. I gave this book a four star rating because although it is a very good book and can get a little boring at times. I could relate to this book because once my dog went missing and we looked at dogs everywhere outside that looked like him.

Dead City

Dead City

By James Ponti

I really enjoyed reading this book. I loved how the mood and tone were very nice and smooth, the opposite of intense - whatever that is. Anyways, I found this book a really interesting novel to read, and can't wait to read the next one! I enjoyed all the characters and misadventures and misunderstandings. I really do recommend this book because I found it really exciting and great! I would like to thank James Ponti and everybody else who contributed to this book. My day would not have been made without it. Last but not least, I just want to say that, while I have read tons and tons of books, not many were as enjoyable and fun to read as Dead City.

Olive's Ocean (Newbery Honor Book)

Olive's Ocean (Newbery Honor Book)

By Kevin Henkes

I made a connection of how Martha Boyle is twelve years old and I'm about to turn twelve. A summary of this book a stranger knocks on twelve-year-old Martha Boyle's door and hands her a piece of paper. She identifies herself as Olive Barstow's mother, then she thanks Martha and leaves. Martha is startled because Olive was a girl in her grade last year who had recently died after being hit by a car. I give this book a three star star rating because the characters are a great part of this book, but at some points it would get sad.
