The Adventures of Captain Underpants (Captain Underpants #1)

The Adventures of Captain Underpants (Captain Underpants #1)

By Dav Pilkey

There's these two kids named George and Harold. They're best friends and they like to play pranks on people. They also write and sell this comic book called Captain Underpants. One day, they play a huge prank and get caught by their school principal who hates them. The principal blackmails them and they have to do whatever he says. So they buy this hypnotizing ring. Then they hypnotize him, so he'll do whatever they say. They accidently hypnotize him into thing he's Captain Underpants, so then they go off to find him. That's as far as a I got. What I though of it: This book was so unbelievable boring and poorly written, I couldn't stand it. I didn't even make it half-way through the book. I was physically incapable of continuing. The characters were extremely flat. They had no personalities what so ever. I'm guessing I was supposed to like George and Harold, though I really wasn't given a reason to. I'm guessing I was supposed to dislike the principal. I really didn't dislike him anymore than George and Harold. They said he was mean and he didn't like smile and laughter, but that was about the only reason I could think of to dislike him. He did punish George and Harold, but that's not a reason to dislike him. They deserved it. He didn't use the proper method, but still... The illustrations were extremely creepy. If this book was supposed to be funny, it failed miserably. There was nothing even remotely funny about it. Overall, this I couldn't bring myself to finish this book, but what I did manage to read was horrendous.

Book Scavenger (The Book Scavenger series)

Book Scavenger (The Book Scavenger series)

By Jennifer Chambliss Bertman

Emily and her family have been moving across the United States for most of her life. Her parents have the goal of living in all 50 states, and so they rarely live in one place for more than a few months. Now Emily, her brother Matthew and their parents are moving to San Francisco where Emily's "literary idol", Garrison Griswold (also known as the Willy Wonka of the literary world), lives. Griswold, among other endeavours, created the Book Scavenger (an game where people find books hidden in cities by using clues and puzzles. Unfortunately, just weeks before Garrison plans on launching a new game, he is attacked and hospitalized with a coma. Then Emily (and her new friend James) find an interesting book, which Emily is sure is part of Griswold's new game. But it turns out that solving this mystery is more dangerous than they thought. I really enjoyed this book. There was mystery and intrigue, and it was a true book adventure. I enjoyed watching Emily and James' friendship develop, especially since having a friend was really a new experience for Emily. I would recommend this book to middle school aged kids and above, especially mystery lovers. I think that people who enjoyed "Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library" would enjoy this book as well. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

The Maze of Bones (39 Clues, No. 1)

The Maze of Bones (39 Clues, No. 1)

By Rick Riordan

"You have a choice - one million dollars or a clue." - Author of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, the 39 Clues is a Cahill family competition. You either pick the million dollars or get the first clue. The Cahill family is the world's most powerful family. Name someone, they are in the family. Abraham Lincoln, Benjamin Franklin. Anybody. Even Amy and Dan didn't know they were related to people that famous. How could they be poor then? Who were their mom and dad? They had a lot of questions. Now they were stuck with their aunt. Their Grandmother Grace Cahill had left them. She was a great grandmother. I liked that Rick Riordan used words to describe the character's feelings at the time. Their au revoire is Nellie, who will take them all over the world. This book was really good. They find Clue 2 when they thought someone took it from them. I would recommend this book to mystery lovers and action lovers. I rate this 5 stars.

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

By Mark Twain

This book was awesome. Mark Twain does a good job of taking us back to the time period of anti slavery. In this book Huck was a thirteen year old kid that had no parents. He learned to take care of himself and live in the wild. He did not want to be civilized at all. Twain has strong messages against slavery and he talks a lot about ones freedom. Throughout this book he teaches us that standing up for oneself is very important in life. I would definitely recommend this book to my friends. It was great and Im glad I read it for my second nine weeks social studies project.

Call of the Wild and White Fang

Call of the Wild and White Fang

By Jack London

Warning! This review may contain spoilers. Call of the wild: A dog named Buck is kidnapped (or dognapped), and force to work as a sled dog. I didn't read White Fang. What I thought of it: Well, I don't like books about animals (I had to read this for homework). Mainly because the main animal character almost always gets mistreated and/or dies. Buck was definitely mistreated and I hated that. I absolutely can't stand animal cruelty or when animals die. When I'm reading a book and there's an animal and a human, I'd rather the human die than the animal. Buck, thankfully, didn't die. But everyone else did. Almost every single animal and human that appeared in the book died. I mean Curly got ripped apart 10 minutes into the book. I guess I get the purpose of it, but I still didn't like it. That was my main problem with this book. It was pretty well written, though. I liked how even though the dogs didn't talk, you still knew what they were thinking. I liked the way Buck grew as a character. In a lot of books, you just kind of suppose the main character changed over the course of the book, but it's not that obvious. In this book, it was obvious. There was a huge difference between Buck when he was first introduce and Buck when the book ended. He really changed a lot, yet he kept some of his character traits. I really liked that. Overall, I appreciated this book, but I didn't like it.

The False Prince (The Ascendance Series, Book 1)

The False Prince (The Ascendance Series, Book 1)

By Jennifer A. Nielsen

False Prince was a book on my summer reading. The main character is an orphan named Sage. Other characters are orphans, Tobias, Roden, and Latamer. There is also Connor a nobleman with a plan of his own. Long lost Prince Jaron was sent overseas to study, but his ship was attacked by pirates (thought to be sent by Avenia which is untrue). Prince Jaron's body was never discovered, but many assume the prince's body sank into the ocean with many others. About four years later, the king, queen, and oldest son Prince Darrius are food poisoned. Who will now be the king of Carthya? Many of the king's regents and noblemen have came up with their ideas of training boys to pretend to be Prince Jaron or simply take over the throne themselves. Connor is one of them. He collects four orphan boys and trains them to act like Prince Jaron. Sage doesn't want to be a false prince, but if he doesn't get chosen, he will be killed which isn't a really better alternative. He befriends a man named Mott and a "mute" servant girl by the name Imogen. He finds himself making false friends and realizes that he better work hard in the 2 week timeline before Connor chooses his prince. You think you know everything as you read, but I think the biggest twist is that SPOILER: Sage IS the real Prince Jaron. Please read this book!!!!!!!!!! It is SPECTACULAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
