Kids Books - Life

The Supernatural Society by Rex Ogle was a fun, fantastical, middle grade read packed with lots of diversity. Middle grade books always tend to be the highlight of my reads. They are so fun and bring me back to my elementary school reading days. After all this time, I still love sneaking away to a middle grade book. The nostalgia is real. The Supernatural Society by Rex Ogle popped into my lap and I couldn't help but be excited and giddy. I love fantasy reads in the middle grade world - they explore world building, friendship, magic, science, and all things cool! This book was all of that and more! There's diverse sets of monsters (and cultures!) in this book that can make everyone feel at home. There's some mystery and empathy in this book too, as we truly feel for Will since his life has been turned upside down during a divorce. We all had something like that as a kid - some thing that we struggled with, whether it be losing friends, divorce, difficulty at school, etc. We've all been Will in some way. So, you might have picked up on some of the story so far in this review. Will moves away with his Mom and his best friend/dog Fitz after his Dad gets up and leaves his family. They move to East Emerson, which seems weird and uninviting at first... but proves to be even worse than we imagined because it's full of monsters! But only Will can see them... His Mom thinks he's crazy! The teachers, the crossing guard... There's monsters galore! Eventually he meets some friends at school, adopted siblings Linus and Ivy. Linus is a smart guy who really only wants to focus on his studies, and his sister Ivy is a bit of an outcast, but she does see the monsters too! When Fitz goes missing, along with many other animals in the town, Will, Linus and Ivy team up to try to solve the mystery of the missing pets. Oh, did I mention there's witches, vampires, a mystical fox, a curse, and more magic and science packed tight in this book? It's all so engaging and fun! This book will keep you on your toes and hooked around every corner. I did love the diversity packed into this book. It feels like home. It's not just one culture or one person, it has almost everyone you can imagine. Throw in the sarcastic and fun narrator, and you've got one excellent read. It's reminiscent of reading a book that mashed Harry Potter, Percy Jackson and A Series of Unfortunate Events together. We've got a set of three friends, sarcasm galore, and lots of fun, fantasy hijinks. It's not a carbon copy of these by any means, but it reminds me of those books from my youth. I will say this book is a family friendly story that does not go deep into the dark realms at all. I can see anyone ages six and up taking a stab at this book (depending on your reading level, of course). My only negative for this book is how it ends. The Supernatural Society sets up a large series (that will hopefully be coming soon!). I like books that can stand alone without having to fear that you need to read the next book as soon as possible to continue the story. While I do think that I would pick up the next books in a heartbeat, I really didn't want to be left on a cliffhanger of "find out what hijinks from our friends are next..." in case the next book never comes. So, here's hoping I can get my hands on the next copy to continue seeing our new, fantastical friends. Four out of five stars.

its about this girl who fell into a well and she found a skeleton and a ghost was attached to it then the ghost was technically livin with anya because she needed help from the ghost to help her cheat in class. Untill near the end of the book... ⚠warning:it has some curse words⚠ but over all I like this book

It is a good book to have and yeah read

I really liked this book. Its a graphic novel! So about the story, When Raina was little she wanted a little sister more than anything in the world. When she finally gets a little sister she is... well she's not so sure she wants one anymore. Her sister just likes to play by herself. Now in present time she has to spend a WHOLE WEEK in the car with her sister. She doesn't know if she can handle it...

I just finished reading this amazing book, and I loved it! This book is about a girl named Winnie, who's parents are a bit difficult. Winnie's parents are too alike for their own good, and they want everything to be equal. For instance, when Winnie came home from school and her parents told her that they were getting divorced, they had a duct-tape X on the couch for her to sit on, exactly between her parents. Since her parents are getting divorced, they inform Winnie that she's going to have an EXACTLY equal amount of days with each of her parents, by switching off between their new houses each day of the week. But, since there's seven days in a week, Winnie's going to spend that one extra day living in a treehouse, exactly between her parents' houses. At first Winnie thought the idea of living in a treehouse was ridiculous, but then she realized that it might be nice to have some peace and quiet. Then stuff got even crazier. Winnie usually spent Thanksgiving with her family, as the one holiday they celebrated, but since her parents weren't living together anymore, they had to celebrate a new holiday. First Winnie celebrated a new holiday with her Mom, then Winnie's dad got jealous of her mom celebrating the holiday with Winnie, so HE decided to celebrate a DIFFERENT holiday with Winnie. So that's how it happened that every day of the week Winnie celebrated a different holiday, so she had no time for her homework, or anything else. But there was one exception - on Wednesday's she lived in her treehouse, so she could relax, draw, cuddle with her cat, and do her homework, things normal kids did every day. But since there was only one Wednesday each week, Winnie was falling behind with her schoolwork, because every day (except Wednesday) was spent celebrating a holiday. Her teacher said that Winnie might even fail fifth grade! Her teacher gave her an important history report to do, and said if she didn't ace it she would have to redo fifth grade. So Winnie was under a lot of stress, until her final breaking point. Winnie's dad wanted Winnie to spend the summer with him, so to make up for those days with her dad, Winnie's Mom said that Winnie would spend every Wednesday with her, until the time from the summer was made up. This Winnie could not handle, because Wednesday's were her only time for normal things, and she would fail fifth grade if she didn't get a good grade on her history report. By chance Winnie learned that technically her treehouse wasn't a part of the US, so it didn't follow the rules of the US either. So, Winnie went up to her treehouse when her parents told her this, and it wasn't a Wednesday. She decided to stay up there until her parents came up and talked to her together about the whole holiday every day of the week thing, like levelheaded adults. Then Winnie's friends joined her, all because of something they wanted their parents to agree on, like more video game time, or more attention. And since her treehouse was technically its own country, no one could come into the treehouse unless the kids approved. After the kids had been in the treehouse for a couple days, "The Treehouse Ten" became famous. Will the kids come down from the treehouse, or will they stay up there until they get what they want? I really loved the format of this book, it was really cool. The book was told in Winnie's perspective, in the style of a journal, with fake sticky notes every few pages, written by various people in the Treehouse Ten. My favorite character was Winnie, because she seemed really smart and levelheaded in this book. I would recommend this book is to late elementary and middle school readers. Enjoy!

He wears a astronaut helmet because he wants to hide his face. He meats A boy named Jack they became friends

Jonathan Torres September 25, 2015 Big Nate has a fantastic series. I think it is one of the best series. The main characters are Nate, Teddy, and Francis. The funniest is Nate because he is the main character in the series. I like him because he tells a lot of jokes. The book tells a lot of details. In each paragraph or sentences, they all have supported sentences. The book stays in the same topic. This book makes me laugh a lot. When I am sad I get cheered up when I read any book of Big Nate. The book has a lot of pictures. The pictures are funny and cool. It make me laugh. I would really recommend this book.
