Big Nate: Silent But Deadly

Big Nate: Silent But Deadly

By Lincoln Peirce

Book Review by Abcdefghijklmnop - Do you like comics? If so you’ll love this book. It’s filled with comics, sports, and hilarity. I read Big Nate Silent But Deadly, the author is Lincoln Peirce. Big Nate is fiction. Nate is the main character. This book is about Nate and his adventures. There are many problems but here’s one of them. Nate is sitting in class and his stomach starts growling. The other kids crowd around Nate and make fun of him. Read the book to find out what happens next. I give this book five stars because it was really funny and I love comics and sports. My favorite part is when Nate and his friends test his sense of smell and put a blindfold on Nate and turns out he can identify anything by smell. I recommend this book for 6-11 year olds because that’s when I started reading the series.

The Missing Collection: Found; Sent; Sabotaged; Torn; Caught

By Margaret Peterson Haddix, Mike Heath

I gave this book 5 stars because it was really interesting and I connected to it really well. This is what the story was about a kid and he's 13 years old and discovers he's one of the missing and keeps getting these letters. They figure out some were identified in the passed. I connected to the book by when I don't be that patient and try to hurry to get things done.

The Misfits

The Misfits

By James Howe

The Misfits is a book where four kids in seventh grade are best friends who have one thing that they definitely have in common, their misfits. That's what the school thinks of them anyways. The name-calling and bullying are targeted to them and many others. One day and becomes too much and the Gang of Five (that's their group name, there's only four people in the group) set up a plan to end it. The Misfits does an absolute job at bring up the topics of bullying in school and other sensitive topics, the book handles the plot well and connects with people who also struggle with bullying, that's why this review is a five stars. For me, I can say that I can connect to the book when the main cast is tired of the bullying(I hope that's for a lot of people). I can recommend this book to grades 5 and higher who like realistic fiction.

Disney Pixar Character Encyclopedia New Edition

Disney Pixar Character Encyclopedia New Edition

By DK

This book is great, just like the old one, but even though it has many more movies, it is about the same length. Coco is 4 pages, I think. And Toy Story 4 isn't as good because the book was released before Toy Story 4 came out. But in the end, this is a very good character encyclopedia for any Pixar fan.

Scout (Puppy Place)

Scout (Puppy Place)

By Ellen Miles

This book’s genre is realistic fiction and it was written by Eleen Miles. In the first part of the story they adopt a dog to foster. And they can’t find anyone who wants her so, they train her to be a search and rescue dog. Then they see a policewoman at school to sponsor in class. They become friends with her and she has a police dog too. At the end of the story the policewoman's dog has to retire so she needs a search and rescue dog. So, there may be someone for Scout. The main characters are Lizzie and scout. Lizzie is a girl who is very kind. She loves to foster puppies. Scout is a puppy who is going to be a search and rescue dog. Lizzie has to foster Scout for a long time and after she gets to know her better she really wants to keep her. But she doesn't end up keeping her anyway. Two key events that happened in the book that added to the plot are when they asked a lot of people to adopt her but nobody wanted to and at the end when they found someone who needed her rather than wanted her. These two things added to the plot because they changed how the story was told and made it more interesting and exciting to read. I think finding an owner who needed her rather than wanted her was the best thing to possibly do. I think the main characters changed from the beginning of the story to the end of the story because, in the beginning they were trying to get rid of Scout but at the end they gave her to someone who needed her. In chapter ten you see this happen on page 72 when Lizzie says, “ ...would be the perfect person to adopt Scout…”. One unanswered question that I’d like to ask the author is was scout a good search and rescue dog when he was done with training? What I enjoyed the most was when they found an owner for her then that someone would help with training for shour! And I know that she will be perfect for the job. Yes, I would recommend this book because it has lots of adventure and it is very exciting and mysterious to read. It also has some cute feachers. It interested me right when I saw it just sitting there on the bookshelf. The cover was the cutest part. I am very glad that I got this book!

The Enormous Crocodile

The Enormous Crocodile

By Roald (Quentin Blake, illustrations) Dahl

Emilym

This story is about a crocodile who was greedy and mean and lived in the biggest brownest muddiest river in Africa ( you feel you are there because you see the drawing) . He wanted to eat children. The first time wasn't so easy so the second time he had lots of tricks for the children. He acted like a sea-saw. Did he eat all the children? What were his tricks? Did he have what he deserved for being mean? If you want to know more, read the book. I enjoyed this book because when he did his tricks he looked a little bit real. I liked it because I was afraid something bad was going to happen to the children. I liked the way Roald Dahl writes because he creates suspense. I liked the words that Roald invented like: “Whoozing Phisiiing Oompa Loompas Rainbow drops” and more. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a bit of mystery and likes doing tricks to persons and for second graders and upper levels.

The Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby

By Francis Scott Fitzgerald

This book is great, though you might want to read a dictionary or something first so you can practice learning big words because this book has a lot of them. It would be a great book to have in your collection and defiantly worth the read.
