Kids Books - Life

In Fuzzy Mud, the fiction novel by Louis Sachar, A young girl named Tamaya discovers a strange mud in the woods. This mud leads to many unfortunate events in the town of health cliff. Which was eventually lead into quarantine. Tamaya is a fifth grader who always obeys the rules, This behavior is displayed many times in the book by Sachar. One example of this is when tamayas best friend hope says to a seventh grader “Don’t listen to her, Tamayas a real goody two-shoes.” Sachar 5. Tamaya walks home with marshall, a seventh grader. Marshall has been getting bullied by the new kid, Chad. Who claims to have been expelled from multiple schools. Chad challenges marshall to a fight, and the location is along the route marshall takes with tamaya to walk home. Marshall decides to take a short cut, which leads to the whole town being put in quarantine because of the fuzzy mud. I believe the theme of this book is that the author is trying to shed light upon the fact that so many things are polluting the earth to this day. An example of this is when somebody says to Dr Mark Humbard that the new way to power cars is “clean” and he responds with “Clean energy? Is that what they're calling it? There's nothing clean about it.” Sachar 9. Also the pollution of the earth is affecting us. One example from the book is how the fuzzy mud, that is made from The same new way to power cars, wreaks havoc among health cliff residents. I love this book and would definitely recommend it to other people, Particularly because i never wanted to put it down. It had suspense and horror filled moments, aha and surprising moments, it had everything. . The characters showed a lot of courage and strength. I would mostly recommend this book to people interested in science and/or suspenseful books.

I don't even like poetry which is how this book is written but it was so great to read. It is written all as letters to the author Walter Dean Meyers so it's basically like a homework assignment that any kid could have! But it is so good and sweet I love this book.

The Year my Parents Ruined my Life, by Martha Freeman, is about escape. Mr. Sommer is getting a new job at Belletoona, Pennyslvania. The family moves there, but Kate Sommers, one of the children, doesn’t like the town. In fact, she loathes it so much that she is willing to leave the family for a period of time just to get out of there. When she gets enough money to buy a plane ticket to fly away, she comes back to Isla Nada, California, where her best friend is waiting. When she arrives, her parents call, and then she is forced to go back. She starts to take notice that Belletoona is actually better than she thinks, and then grows comfortable with her new home. I recommend this story for boys and girls, grades third to sixth.

The hardy boys books are my favourite books series in the world. They are packed with adventure and mystery!!! This one started when a blind peddler sent the hardy boys a warning with a strange glass eye on it. This glass eye takes them on a big mystery. I would recommend these books for 8 to 14 year olds. This book was one of the best so far in the series. You should read it.

Poor Professor Poopypants is just trying to show the world his brilliance and how he can help it. Unfortunately for him, everyone ignores his inventions and instead laughs at his silly name. This gets Professor Poopypants enraged, and he becomes a villain who changes the names of everyone! George and Harold are in despair. Can Captain Underpants once again save the day?

" 'You know what? I feel sorry for Lou. She is the absolute worst kid have ever met.' Not one single person disagreed with me." - From "Kristy and the Worst Kid Ever. When Kristy's neighbors, the Papadakis, are going to foster a child, Kristy and the other BSC girls are excited to meet the child and babysit for him or her. But when Lou comes (BTW, she hates being called Louisa), the girls was surprised to find that she is incredible rude, disobedient, and just a terror! The girls feel sorry for Lou, she's the worst kid ever! I thought this book was good, but still very sad. This book teaches the importance of letting people come into your life instead of shutting everyone out. It also teaches the importance of never giving up on a person, even when they want you to. It is a great book, although sad. I believe a reader could be taught many good life lessons just in the first couple of chapters. I suggest if you like babysitting, friendship, and drama. Happy reading!

So far I like the fact that it's spooky, and funny ,I am on chapter #6. I would give this book a thumbs up , or a 5 star. I hope you enjoy this book like I am.

This book was super good! Mary Anne has changed a lot since 7th grade, so when she sees a hairstyle in a magazine, she is excited to try it. But the other BSC girls like the way Mary Anne is now. But Mary Anne really likes the hairstyle, so she goes ahead and gets it. Everyone at Mary Anne's school loves the new hairstyle, all except the Babysitter's Club girls. Mary Anne is offended; how could her best friends not want the best for her? I thought this book was dramatic, fun to read, and inspiring. Mary Anne is a very relatable character. The reader can admire from Mary Anne's confidence but also learn a good lesson about talking through things with the people you care about and asking for advice. This story is all about growing up, friendship, babysitting, and trying new things. I suggest if you like friendship and babysitting.

Persephone is fed up with her mom. Sure, she knows that Demeter is just looking out for her best interests, but she can get so overprotective sometimes! Persephone still has to live with her mom on Mount Olympus, conform by her strict rules, and tell her exactly where she's going. Curfews, policies...Persephone's tired of it all. So when she ventures into a mortal graveyard, she knows she's breaking a ton of her mom's rules, but she's too weary to listen to her better judgment. And, even better, Persephone meets a nice godboy there - Hades! At first, Persephone is afraid of the gloomy-looking boy, but soon realizes the sunshine of his true personality. Yet, when Demeter realizes her goddess-of-spring daughter is hanging out with the Underworld king, she's furious and becomes more forebodingly strict than ever before. Desperate and confused, Persephone tries to break out of her rule-bidden walls, but it may cost her everything. Mischievous and enthralling, Persephone the Phony is the perfect novel for those who have felt caged in by rules.

I remember that when I first read Wonder, I had WONDERED what the story would be like from Julian's perspective. I gave this book two stars because it was almost exactly the same as Wonder. I was curious to know what Julian had to say, but I feel like R.J. Polacio only wrote it because readers wanted to hear from Julian's point of view. I think the story would have been better if it was in Wonder, and not in a seperate book. Please know that I'm not saying Wonder was a bad book. I read Wonder at least five times, I loved it so much. But I don't think that it was necessary for R.J. Polacio to write this one. 365 Days of Wonder was a good book because it had a lot of prefects, and it went with the story, but not too much like in the Julian chapter. Anyhow, this is what the Julian Chapter is about. The Julian Chapter is basically Wonder from Julian's perspective. If you don't remember from Wonder, is the bully who gets punched by Jack Will. In the book, I feel like R.J. Polacio skipped some moments that were written in Wonder which I would have loved to read about from Julian's chapter. And although she tells why Julian wouldn't come back to Beecher Prep, I feel like instead at the end she should have made Julian decide to go back to Beecher and try again the next year. And have a big reason to. I was very dissapointed with the book. After reading Wonder I thought The Julian Chapter would have been better than what I read. Sorry for the super LOOOOOOOONG review! Thanks for reading.
