Stink and the Freaky Frog Freakout

Stink and the Freaky Frog Freakout

By Megan McDonald

Stink is really embarrassed. Even though he is really good at most things he tries, he is still in the Polliwog swimming class for little kids because he can't put his face underwater. All of the sudden, Stink starts seeing frogs everywhere. After a BLUE frog licks his arm he starts acting like a frog himself. He starts jumping around the house like a frog and sticking his tongue out to eat things. He starts to memorize frog calls and goes to a frog festival to learn more about them. The one good thing about thinking he is a frog is that he is finally able to put his head under water and gets to move on to the big kid swim class. I liked this book because it was fun learning facts about frogs and how they act. I just don't want to turn into a frog!!!

City of Ghosts

City of Ghosts

By Victoria Schwab

This is a very engaging book that sends chills up your spine. I have read it multiple times and loved every minute of it, even when it creeped me out a little bit. The main character is named Cassidy and her best friend is a ghost.....no she is not crazy.....Jacob is a real ghost. Ever since Cassidy drowned and Jacob saved her life she has been able to cross between the world of the living and the world of the dead. She calls this 'the veil' because in order to cross over she pulls on a curtain in the air and enters the ghost world. Whenever a ghost is in the veil she hears a tap-tap-tap and is pulled towards it in order to pull back the curtain. Jacob does not like it when Cassidy does this, and neither does she, but 'the veil' calls to her and makes her wonder if there is something she should be doing in the mysterious place. To make matters worse, her parents decide to host a TV show on the most haunted places in the world, and they head off to Scotland, instead of the nice beach vacation that Cassidy had planned. She learns that Scotland is filled with ghosts and sometimes the pull of 'the veil' is too strong for her to resist and it sucks her into the land of the dead without her pulling on the curtain. Jacob gets dragged along, much to his irritation, and Cassidy meets another girl with her same talent, who Jacob doesn't like one bit. She realizes that she has much to learn about 'the veil' and that it is more dangerous than she initially thought. The girl informs her that she has a job to do instead of lugging her precious old-fashioned camera around and taking pictures in the hopes that one will turn out with ghost pictures instead of blurry shadows. This book keeps you turning pages so that you never want to stop. "The City of Ghosts" can get pretty scary, but not too bad, after all, I don't usually like scary books but this one surprised me and I love it a lot. I would recommend this book to middle schoolers who enjoy realistic fantasy with a little twist.

Fablehaven: Grip of the Shadow Plague (Fablehaven)

Fablehaven: Grip of the Shadow Plague (Fablehaven)

By Brandon Mull

So, in this book, it is all about Kendra and Seth again. There is an weird plague going around, changing light creatures into dark creatures- and someone has to sacrifice themselves to stop it. It all began when the Phoenix was realized to be evil. That was when he started making a LOT of trouble... The thing is, this was an amazing book, with so many plots and surprises. This was a book that I just could not forget. I read this like, at the beginning of this year, but I remember it so clearly.

Eleven

Jocelyn

Absolutely wonderful! Great job bringing awareness to the events of 911 without leaving my son sad and depressed. Multiple story lines converging at the end made the suspense to great that he had to finish the book. He's read it twice and puts it up there with Orbiting Jupitet. Great read and great teaching lesson!

School Picture Day (Picture Puffin Books)

By Lynn Plourde

This book is cool! I think that if you like books like Clovis keeps his cool this is an excellent choice for you . This book talks about a girl who keeps fidgeting with every thing she sees .But no one is proud they are all mad. But at the end she saves the day. This book inspired me to realize that no one has to be the same. so I think the theme is don't let anyone dull your sparkle . so all in all this book is amazing.

The One Thing You'd Save

The One Thing You'd Save

By Park, Linda Sue

This book is told by so many peoples perspective, one who has lived though a fire and saved nothing just tried to get out as quick as she could. Most of the people had something really important to them, maybe some wanted to save their xbox or something like that. This book shows everyone's perspective to what THEY would save, not their friend or their mom what THEY would save. This book was good for the most part, but some times it's sorta hard to tell whos perspective it is. But I do recommend The One Thing You'd Save.

Moo: A Novel

Moo: A Novel

By Sharon Creech

The book “MOO” is an amazing book! It shows the adventure of a 12-year-old girl, Reena, and her little brother’s experience after moving from New York to Maine. They have to adapt to a new, unfamiliar, and rural way of life. In the story, the characters had a “disrespectful” incident with their mysterious “frenemy” neighbor, Mrs.Falala which lead them to meet Zora the uncooperative cow that the book is based on. I loved the formatting of the plot and storyline. I didn’t think the pages were descriptive and are quite vague, the pages didn’t describe very much of what’s going on in the story. If you like books based on mystery, friendship, and trust, “MOO” is the book for you.
