Brian's Winter (A Hatchet Adventure)
By Gary Paulsen
This book is very interesting after reading "Hatchet" and "The River" because all you think about is Brian going to die? Or is Brian going to be rescued. I recommend this book if you like reading about survival.
Love That Dog
By Sharon Creech
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.
Take Me Out of the Bathtub and Other Silly Dilly Songs
By Alan Katz, David Catrow
5/5 I loved this book of poetry because it was funny, smart, and straight up genius. I think this would be a good book to introduce poetry to kids or read to them. Overall I loved this book because we all know these nursery rhymes and songs it makes it easier to read for people who have trouble rhyming.
The Year My Parents Ruined My Life
By Martha Freeman
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.
A Figure in Hiding (The Hardy Boys #16)
By Franklin W. Dixon
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.
Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants (Captain Underpants #4)
By Dav Pilkey
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?
Children of Dune
By Frank Herbert
I read this book in a week, I borrowed it from my friend, and WOW it was intense. I would totally recommend this to anyone who likes to read
Mary Anne's Bad-Luck Mystery (Baby-Sitters Club)
By Ann M. Martin
When Mary Anne finds an unsuspecting chain-letter in her mailbox, she is undeterred. But soon the innocent seeming letter turn out to be a curse. Everything goes wrong for the BSC girls while babysitting until one day Mary Anne finds a charm that she must wear "or else". How could a seemingly innocent chain letter turn out to be such a mysterious curse? I thought this book was great. Going in a more of a mystery dialogue, Ann M. Martin captures the spookiness of Halloween and the thrill of trying the find the suspect of the mysterious chain letters. This book was fun to read, a little spooky, and sometimes funny. I suggest if you like mysteries, friendship, and babysitting. Happy reading!
Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry
By Mildred D. Taylor
Once slavery was over, it wasn't really over. African Americans were still treated horribly. That's what I think this book is trying to say. Roll of Thunder Hear my Cry is a great book that reflects what black people had to deal with. From getting pushed into the road, to getting Kerosene poured over their body's, they had to persevere through it all. I think the author is trying to help people understand how things really were back then. Even though this family is not real, people went through the very same things they did in the story. In school and at home we really don't learn enough black history. We don’t learn that how they were treated was so bad. We learn that they were treated badly but this book really goes into the lives of a family and really showed how hard it was for them.
