The Boy Who Swam with Piranhas

The Boy Who Swam with Piranhas

By David Almond

The Boy Who Swam with Piranhas is an interesting story about a young orphan, Stan Potts. When Stan's parents died he went to live with his Uncle Ernie and Aunt Annie. But then Ernie lost his job, and became an entrepreneur, starting his own business in his home-canning fish. He cans fish and Stan is trapped inside the house-turned-factory. Ernie is out of control. One day Ernie does something cruel and so Stan runs away, to a carnival. He finds a new family, and is being taught new things. Then he gets the ultimate offer. Will he swim with piranhas? Will he go home? What will happen to young Stan Potts? This is one of those stories where you can't tell what genre it is. The Boy Who Swam with Piranhas is a mix of fantasy and realistic fiction. This is a book clearly meant for younger kids, although there are questionable parts where parents may not want their kids to read about. This is a book about family struggles, destiny, and finding yourself.

I really liked this book because it was full of adventure. Emily's mother died and she is an orphan (how sad) and her cruel uncle victor is her only relative. But she isn't just going to give up.... in fact, she meets an boy named Jackson. READ THE BOOK!

Missy Piggle-Wiggle and the Whatever Cure

Missy Piggle-Wiggle and the Whatever Cure

By Ann M. Martin, Annie Parnell

Missy Piggle-Wiggle and the Whatever-Cure was such a good book. “Piggle-Wiggle” might sound familiar to those who have read about Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle’s adventures before. Missy Piggle-Wiggle is Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle’s great niece. Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle lives in an upside-down house, which has a mind of its own. In the house lives some interesting animals. Lester, the talking pig, is very polite and has good etiquette. Penelope is the parrot, Wag is the dog, and Lightfoot is the cat. Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle was known for curing people in this town with interesting potions and other unusual things. The kids loved Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle because she let them come over to the upside-down house and do whatever they want. They can cook, read, play, and even make crafts. However, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle left suddenly, and she asked her great niece, Missy Piggle-Wiggle, to take care of the house while she was gone. Missy Piggle-Wiggle also cures people, and parents start calling her, telling her about the problems with their children. She cures children who are always late, who like to say “whatever,” and kids who are know-it-alls. This book follows the adventures of Missy Piggle-Wiggle as she uses unusual tactics to cure problems, like you have never imagined! This book is great for young readers and I recommend this to anyone who is into chapter books.

How to Catch a Bogle

How to Catch a Bogle

By Catherine Jinks

This is a really really great book. How To Catch a Bogle follows Birdie, a 10 year old orphan, is taken in by Alfred, a "bogler", or killer of bogles. He calls it "getting rid of pests". Bogles are monsters. Birdie's job is very dangerous, just one wrong move and she could be killed. But she gets by, and she knows she's better off than being a beggar or a "tosher" who roams the sewers. Then she's offered another life, a life as a singer with Miss Eames. Birdie is torn. I really enjoyed this book. I thought it was well put together, it hooks you in right from the start. It has adventure, drama, and even some glamor and romance. Something I loved about this book was how it makes you feel. It makes you feels Birdie's frustration or anger, it makes you understand how she feels. The only negative thing about this book is it contains some mild language and drinking, also it be frightening for young children. I'd reccommend it for 10 +. Happy reading!

I read it two times and I don't really get it, but anyhow, I really like the book. I don't know why Henderson didn't tell Louise that he liked her.

Space Rocks!

Space Rocks!

By Tom O'Donnell

Although it does drag on in the first 5-6 chapters, "Space Rocks" is a hilarious, grasping read with incredible plot twists. Chorkle is part of the Xotonian race living in Gelo, an asteroid that, until a couple of months ago, has never been invaded by anyone, let alone humans. When Chorkle spots some human offspring in Jehe Canyon, little does he know that these four little fur-heads would change Xotonian history forever. Within the next few months, he accidentally causes their mothership to have an emergency take-off (all because of Feeney’s Original Astronaut Ice Cream!) and the four little two-eyed humans are left stranded on Gelo. Chorkle tries to help them out...but what would you do if a five-eyed alien who deserted you in space offers his guidance? On an epic attempt of survival, Chorkle leads Becky, a bossy twelve-year-old who hates Chorkle the moment she lays her eyes on him; Nicky, Becky's identical twin who's obsessed with fungi (although she does have her ways with computers); Hollins, a thirteen-year-old boy who doesn't stop quoting Teddy Roosevelt; and Little Gus, who is simply awesomeness wrapped up in a ten-year-old. With Chorkle's help, these four find a way to keep breathing their beloved oxygen, fight ferocious thyss cats, and hide from the rest of the Xotonians who would surely imprison them if they were to find them. On top of all that, they eventually become oog-ball legends, go to the top of Dynusk’s Column, and even get to ride Usk Lizards!

I am really interested in this kind of book, and I probably wouldn't join the tribe. This book seems very interesting and exciting. I would buy this book if I didn't win.
