Public School Superhero

Public School Superhero

By James Patterson, Chris Tebbetts

Public School Superhero is about a boy named Kenny, who lives in Washington DC, goes to Union Middle School, stands up to the town, and gets called 'grandma's boy', because his grandma walks him to school. I'm rating five stars, because it's a bold book.

Leonardo's Shadow: Or, My Astonishing Life as Leonardo da Vinci's Servant

Leonardo's Shadow: Or, My Astonishing Life as Leonardo da Vinci's Servant

By Christopher Grey

I absolutely love this novel because, unlike most books, it starts of at an exciting pace. It's about this boy who think his master is mean, but he loves him anyway. Leonardo is in a struggle in painting the Last Supper, since he held it off for years. He then has to finish it in a month.

The Zippity Zinger #4: The Mostly True Confessions of the World's Best Underachiever (Hank Zipzer)

The Zippity Zinger #4: The Mostly True Confessions of the World's Best Underachiever (Hank Zipzer)

By Henry Winkler, Lin Oliver

The title of my book is The Zippity Zinger. It’s a story about a boy goes through many crazy adventures! Hank Zipzer was chosen as his softball team pitcher for the annual olympiad. He thinks he’s the worst softball pitcher in the world. My favorite part about the book is when Hank accidently wore his sister’s socks that was red and had monkeys on it, and later on in the day he was practicing pitching and he threw perfectly, and he thinks the red monkey socks are good luck. I would recommend this book to everyone because it’s funny and it will make you laugh your pants off.

Just Jaime: Target Exclusive (Emmie & Friends)

Just Jaime: Target Exclusive (Emmie & Friends)

By Terri Libenson

This book Just Jamie is about Jamie and her friend Maya who their real friends are on the last day of seventh grade. She has a feeling that her old friend group is talking bad about her. They have started to exclude her and make fun of her because of the way she dresses. Maya starts feeling more annoyed with Jamie. She didn't like how babyish she had seemed compared to the popular girls. Maya and Jamie then become good friends again. I gave this book a five-star rating because I feel like someone can relate to this even if it is not happening to them.

I Totally Funniest: A Middle School Story (I Funny)

I Totally Funniest: A Middle School Story (I Funny)

By James Patterson, Chris Grabenstein

Book after book of I funny, it just gets better and better (and funnier). We're introduced to the continued scenario: THE FINALS ARE IN THREE DAYS!!! Jamie's sweating enough to fill Niagara Falls, he just KNOWS that he's gonna choke, his brain is crammed with jokes (great jokes and...not-so-great jokes), the Smiley family is as "smiley" as ever, and then: The Planet's Funniest Kid finals gets...CANCELED. WHAT?! Is this the end of Jamie Grimm's somewhat-short career? Not so fast. With promises of his own TV show, big bucks, (personal security guards), endless limousine rides, and all that wonderful fairy-tale happy ending stuff IF he wins the contest, (it didn't really get canceled after all, did it?) somehow you get the feeling that Jamie's going to be sweating a lot. Get an empty swimming pool, you might need one. Because Jamie's in for one heck of a ride. (No pun there, he's still in his wheelchair.)

Charlie Joe Jackson's Guide to Summer Vacation (Charlie Joe Jackson Series)

By Tommy Greenwald

Charlie Joe lets his parents send him to summer school camp. At first, he doesn't like it, but he comes up with a goal. His goal is to turn everyone into non-readers. I really liked this book because it reminded me of the time I went to a camp. I really related to this book so I give it 5 stars.

The Worst Night Ever (Class Trip)

The Worst Night Ever (Class Trip)

By Dave Barry

Dave Barry writes another outstanding book. Wyatt Palmer and his idiot friend Matt return, and when Matt's ferret is kidnapped by twin seniors, they try to recover it, only to find something more criminal about the family. I loved this book and got to meet Dave Barry, I recommend it.

Falling Over Sideways

Falling Over Sideways

By Jordan Sonnenblick

I love this book!! I recommend this book for people who like novels and realistic fiction. Claire Goldsmith is an 8th grader who is going through so many problems, such as her dance friends leaping their way to the high school dancing level while she is stuck dancing with 11-year-old pipsqueaks, and the fact that the bullies in her school have gotten worse (Ryder Scott, to be specific), but those problems are nothing compared to what her father is going through. Meanwhile, she has a science teacher who compares everyone to her perfect daughter, Meredith, and her dance school's Dad Dance, and Claire isn't sure if she'll survive 8th grade...

Alien in My Pocket #1: Blast Off!

Alien in My Pocket #1: Blast Off!

By Nate Ball

I saw my little sister reading and I thought: 'why don't I read this myself?' Turns out, it was a very interesting read but a bit below my age. Basically, a kid named Zack Mcgee has an alien "pet" who crashed through his room. To Zack's horror, Amp (The alien's name) has been sent to Earth to scout the area for an invasion from his planet. They will attack in a few days, and Zack and his friend Olivia have to send back Amp to call off the massive invasion. I enjoyed this novel, but I recommend this book for younger readers.
