The Help
By Kathryn Stockett
The Help Help: to give aid; be of service or advantage. Help is always in the shape or form you think it would be. My book is named The Help the author is Kathryn Stockett. The setting is Jackson, Mississippi 1962. Aibleen is a maid who works for Miss Leefolt she is also the protagonist the other protagonists are Minny Miss Celia Foote, Mister Johnny, all of the other maids, and last but not least Miss Skeeter. The antagonist is Miss Hilly. She dislikes Aibleen and Minny. In this great realistic fiction book Miss Skeeter’s mom gets diagnosed with cancer. It gets harder for Miss Skeeter and her mom. During the story Aibleen, the maids, and Miss Skeeter make a book about how the maids are treated and their life. During a talk show (when the book is published) one man says it might be about Jackson, Mississippi and the maids get worried there bosses will find out because they made it very secretive and disingenuous. I liked this book because i thought that the storyline was very interesting and bold. I would recommend this book to people who like realistic fiction books about history WARNING= SWEARS probably seventh graders and up!
Teen Agent
By Chris Everheart
I read this book and it isnt very good. It doesn't make sense and it really confused me. What is the point of having those sections? They are all about the same topic. Why would someone just want to confuse us? Do not read this book.
Jack Blank and the Imagine Nation (A Jack Blank Adventure)
By Matt Myklusch
This is a great book! I first heard about it from my teacher, and when I got it I couldn't put it down! It's about this boy named Jack Blank doesn't know who or where he comes from. He doesn't even know his real last name. All Jack knows is his bleak, dreary life at St. Barnaby's Home for the Hopeless, Abandoned, Forgotten, and Lost. Everything changes one morning when Jack receives two visitors. The first is a deadly robot straight out of one of Jack's favorite comic books, that tries its best to blow him up. The second is an emissary from a secret country called the Imagine Nation, where all the fantastic and unbelievable things in our world originate, including Jack. Jack soon discovers that he has an amazing ability - one that could make him the savior of the Imagine Nation and the world beyond, or the biggest threat they've ever faced. It's so amazing! They also have a sequel to it called the Secret War. I suggest you read this book fast because it's hard to get a copy at the library!
The Return of the King
By J. R. R. Tolkien
So far, this has been an extremely interesting book. It has been very exciting with many interesting events. I chose to read this book because I have already read the first 2 books (The fellowship of the ring and the two towers) which have been very interesting so I thought I would like to read this one. It has not disappointed me. I would highly recommend this book.
The Witch's Boy
By Kelly Barnhill
This book was very surprising, in a good way. When i first began reading it, I was a little bored, and almost considered stopping. But I decided to keep going, and so I finished the book. I am so glad I did! The Witch's Boy had an unique plot, something like which I have never seen before. The main character was Ned, who never spoke much after his twin brother. His mother was a witch, but then she had to travel away unexpectedly. While she is gone bandits show up to steal the magic his family guards. The only way to protect is to use it himself. Then he is kidnapped and must escape. Where is his mother? Why is the army gathering? What does the Bandit King's daughter have to do with anything? I recommend this book to all teens. There is violence, so it shouldn't be read by younger kids.
The Little Prince
By Antoine de Saint-Exupery
wonder
The Little Prince, written by Antoine De Saint Exupery, was first published in 1943. This book took place six years before the sahara desert time period. This book was told by a pilot. There are three chief characters. They’re the narrator which is the character who tells the beginning of the book about his own childhood, then he tells a story about him and the Little Prince meeting which soon become friends; then there's the Little Prince who is a character who is a kid from another small planet who is very lovable kid;then there's the fox who the Little Prince encounters in the desert and they both be friends later in the story. The book begins with the little prince appearing on the Sahara desert and meeting a pilot of who has accidentally landed there because his plane. Later on after getting to know one another they decide to friends, and then they meet a fox who tells them the secret of life. Then they meet the snake which is hard to understand him because he talks in riddles. Then something terrible happens pilot and the little prince are now dying of thirst, but then as they are walking through the desert they find some water and it taste good but sweet. Sadly the Little Prince said that he was leaving the next morning, one year since they left pilot went to the very spot where they met and hears the little prince’s laughter from above. My feelings throughout the book was in the beginning I felt happy about pilot finally having a friend then throughout the story I got even more happy because of all the other friends that he has met. Later towards the end I got really sad because the little prince had to go, especially when it was there one year anniversary and pilot went to the very spot where they first met and was thinking of all of the happy memories together. I did learn and I became more aware of my surroundings and to enjoy it while it’s still around. I learned that because when little prince left. I especially liked the fox in the book because he shared the secrets of life when he teaches the little prince the importance of friendship. The story had a good theme which was all about the value of friendship because throughout the story both the little prince and the pilot meet a lot of people and all those people teach a lesson but mainly the important thing is that they all learned friendship.
Blue Moon (Dead City)
By James Ponti
Although I really enjoyed reading this book, I felt like it was kind of slow. While it still kept the beautiful light mood, I found this book predictable, beautifully so. This book I found really fun and funny, while still having some depth. I found lots of 2nd books about friendships and trust being tested, and while this book is the same, I found it shown from a different perspective. Instead of the usual, where the characters started distrusting each other, but have to put that aside because of some big turn or revelation, and then come out trusting each other more than ever, this book was able to bring in more characters into the web of good and bad relationships while still testing the ones who were already in the web. I found this book really fun. Like always, I would like to thank the author and everybody else who contributed to this book. I would recommend this book to people in middle school, and especially people who don't like to read. I found this book really exciting, and I hope you do too! Thanks!
Big Nate Goes Bananas!
By Lincoln Peirce
Big Nate is a book series that is funny...but it has some disrespectful comments, and for that reason my mom took it away from my brother. This book has some bad/mean comments saying bad things about your mom. "Your mama…." And it just goes downhill from there with bad words and even more things that young children should not be introduced to. Maybe 13-14 year old's.
Fifty Below Zero (Munsch for Kids)
By Robert N Munsch
I loved this book as a kid now I don't read it, but my little sister loves it I read it to her a lot.
