Kids Books - Fiction

I seriously want this book. I love James Patterson anything. Middle School. I Funny. Treasure Hunters (my favorite). I just know I'm going to love this.

I am reading a book called“The Rule of Three,” by Eric Walters. I like this book a lot. It is about when all the power goes out, anything with a computer in it stops working and how people react. It was recommended to me by many people. I recommend this book for people who like natural disaster books, and fans of the “Divergent,” series. I would say this is a science fiction adventure. This book is like a realistic modern day apocalypse. There are a few main characters, Adam and his best friend Todd are just some. In this book, there are many main characters, but my favorite is Todd. Todd is the narrator's best friend and he is sort of underestimated. He doesn't do anything important but is a crucial part in the book. He is my favorite character for 3 main reasons. First of all, he is funny. An example of when he was asked to babysit Adams (the narrator) 2 younger siblings who are getting ice cream from a neighbor's house, he says, “Do I get ice cream too?” Second, he is tough. He plays a lot of football and was disappointed when he found out that Adam skipped the football team for flight school. Finally, he is also sarcastic. One time he was sarcastic was when he was in the library doing his assignment with Adam, 40 minutes before it was due and Adam was giving him a lecture about not doing things the last minute, but Todd said it wasn’t last minute because there were 40 minutes until it was due. All the main characters in this book are very lovable, but Todd is my favorite. The main problem of the book is that all the power went out and so did anything with a computer. Only cars like Adam's still run because old cars don’t have computers in them, and his is pretty old. The outage of computers is causing explosions and crimes because the cops can’t work as efficiently without computers and communication. The problem in this book is very well thought up and it is one of the best books I know. Another thing I like about this book is the solution isn’t obvious at all so it leaves you thinking about what the characters are going to do about the current problem. The problem lasts 3 books and it never gets boring. I wasn’t able to stop reading this book for a while. I highly recommend this book. This book has many settings, except all the settings are in one neighborhood because the characters are isolated and don’t know what's happening in the world around them. It makes the world seem bigger than it is because fifty pages in, they have been traveling for most of the time and they have only stayed within around 5 miles. All the settings make sense according to what's happening in the story, and they are realistic. That concludes my review on “The Rule of Three.” I would give this book a 4.5 out of 5. To improve this book, I think they could set up the book more because they just went straight into the power going out. This could have helped me understand the characters more. I like this book for all the reasons I said. This is one of my favorite books and I encourage you to read it.

This book was a real page-turner. I loved this book so much that I finished it in one day. This book is about a young boy who turns into one of the leaders of a group that kills foreigners that invaded their land. This boy finally gets to the "mother ship" of the foreigners and dies fighting. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a good book.

The Book was good. There were great illustrations. I like how they described the story using words that people don't know. Mr. Skooghammer was really nice.

i usually remeber that show, i was forgotten bout that episode, but i did watch totally spies the movie on 2009.

I really enjoyed The Mortification of Fovea Munson. I at first thought that it might be a little creepy and all since it is about talking heads without bodies, but boy I was wrong! Even though it’s talking heads they aren’t at all mean or scary for that matter! The heads turn out to be quite nice, and funny too! I really enjoyed reading about Fovea’s adventures and hope others do too!

My Rating For Dogsong WARNING : SPOILER ALERT My reading teacher gathered my group to the back table to discuss our new book. I seldom like the books the teacher picks out, and seeing that the title and front cover were hardly developed and thought over, I figured this would be another book that was violent, depressing, and honestly just frightening. I was certainly right regarding my prediction. After reading the first pages, I discovered that Russel wasn’t very friendly or talkative. He didn’t care for much of anything in his small village. Then, he goes to old man Oogruk’s house, and sits down while Oogruk tells him how to find his song after he felt that something wasn’t right. Russel is given an old dogsled, and he takes it on a small test drive around. Then, Oogruk passes away soon after. Russel does not cry or try to help, he just watches as his friend hopelessly sits by the ice. I feel that Russel is undeveloped and has no emotion whatsoever. Anyway, Russel continues on the ice, and falls asleep. Soon enough, he has a dream where he feels familiar with a man. I was confused enough, trying to visualize this dream. I couldn’t, because the whole book was not descriptive and used the same phrases repetitively. Back to the dream, as I see it that the man is Russel, I have trouble seeing that he had a past self older than he is in the present. I also refuse to believe that teenager Russel has had a past life, because it is obviously impossible. Trying to comprehend the story, I continued reading the spiral of boredom. Russel kills animals on his journey, which I feel is evoking children and teens to long for the “sensation” of poaching so they can find their own songs. If you want to find your song, look deep in your heart to find your own special power and don’t try to go out and run away killing animals and eating whatever you find. Although there is a hidden message in the story to embrace wildlife and the old ways, I think that Gary Paulsen has gone too far and has not thought about the evil things that he has put into his story. There is so much killing in this book, and Russel seldom cries about it. Seeing that the polar bear killed the happy dog, I figured Russel was going to cry, but of course,he didn’t. Need I say it once more, Russel is, by example, undeveloped and unemotional. It was right at the end when Russel spots a woman, dead, in the snow. I said to myself,”Not more violence! I can’t handle this!” I was expecting him to bury her or do some kind of ancient Alaskan sacrifice that I don’t understand on her. Of course, there are many crazy things for him to with her, and once again, Russel acts like it’s not catastrophic that he has just come upon a dead woman buried in the snow. So, Russel feeds and takes care of her. Didn’t see that coming. So, after a while, Russel finds out the woman’s name, Nancy, and finds out that she is going to have a baby. He becomes fond of her after noticing that she is the woman he was married to in the dream. When Nancy has her baby, back again comes the violence and depression. Russel places the baby on a snowy mountain after Nancy says she does not want to see it. I guess the baby ended up dying, which really just doesn’t make any sense why Paulsen even decided to put that bit about Nancy having a baby in there at all. Wouldn’t it just be better if Nancy wasn’t going to have a baby and Russel and Nancy became friends and got married? And couldn’t it be earlier in the book? What really disappointed me was that at the end, they take Nancy to the doctor. So, he did that whole run just to bring Nancy to the doctor? Thanks a lot for a massive waste of time.

This book was amazing! If you like funny books then you should read this one. It is one of the books that has so much humor. If you read this you will love it and it will be hilarious.

this book isn't really what you would expect from anormal book, i feel that this novel is maybe really bad but its an opinion idk,, i really think they should have made ruby have a more distinct character because i found her to be uninteresting like typically a girl her age should have been rebellious or like shy or smthn i liked some of the drama in the story but it could have been much better., as a hopeful future english-biology major i think they should add more realism like facts & stuff.,, overal it was mediocre, and it could have much more potential, if this book lived up to its potential i would have given it many more stars but it was super boring, personally. the rain was creative

It is just like the original one but shorter I loved it the pictures look so real it's amazing I hope you guys like it I recommend this book.
