Room on the Broom

Room on the Broom

By Julia Donaldson

Shahrizoda

The book room on the broom is by Julia Donaldson. It is fantasy and about a witch with ginger hair and a bow. It is also about a cat,a dog ,a frog, and a bird . This is a great rhyming book. The thing I like about the book is that the witch is not an ordinary witch,she is marvelous,delightful,and joyful! All three animals ask to be on the witches broom. The cat Keeps saying NO! Will the witch agree with the cat or let the three friends on? Read this book to find out!!

Misty of Chincoteague (Korea Edition)

Misty of Chincoteague (Korea Edition)

By Marguerite Henry

Marguerite Henry writes wonderful books about horses, and this one is by far my favorite. It is about a brother and sister named Paul and Maureen who have their hearts set on buying the horse that everyone calls Phantom. They want to buy her at the annual Pony Penning Day. For years no one has been able to catch her because she always slips out of their grasp and is believed to be a "Phantom". But this year Paul is finally old enough to go over to Chincoteague island and round up the horses with all the other men. The stakes aren't exactly fair for the Phantom though, because she has a colt! Paul and Maureen have saved enough money for the Phantom, but they hadn't realized they would have to buy the colt too. This is a great story that shows you that not everything is meant to be in captivity, some things are just wild.

HORTON HATCHES THE EGG

HORTON HATCHES THE EGG

By DR SEUSS

Olivia E. S.

This is my all-time favorite children's book. Read it over and over as a kid. It has a lot of good moral lessons built in, but above all it is about the importance of responsibility and commitment. It follows Horton the Elephant as he meets a bored bird who asks him to egg-sit for her. She flies off to vacation in Palm Beach while Horton endures harsh weather, taunts, and abduction. However, Horton never leaves the egg. The climax comes when the bird runs into Horton and the egg at the circus where they are being held and when the egg begins to hatch, decides she wants it back. I won't spoil the ending, but suffice to say it is more than satisfying. Best for elementary school aged kids, but like most Seuss books, enjoyable for adults as well.

By Stephanie S. Tolan

"Surviving the Applewhites" is a funny and unique story. It is about a bad-mannered teenager named Jake Semple who is sent to live with a quirky family - the Applewhites. Here, he discovers his true self and talent, and even makes new friends. I would definitely recommend this novel!

Niagara Falls, Or Does It? #1 (Hank Zipzer)

Niagara Falls, Or Does It? #1 (Hank Zipzer)

By Henry Winkler, Lin Oliver

This was a Battle for the Books for my school and it was a humorous story alright. Hank Zipzer is a smart kid like his parents say he is, he just has to work harder on tests, projects and homework. When he comes back for the beginning of the year, Hank's teacher wants everyone to write essays about where they went to during their summer vacation. Hank chooses a creative option he makes up for himself. He decides to make a model of Niagara Falls. His idea begins off so great, but who knew how many twists and turns could come with a simple decision of a model?

Gulliver's Travels: Large Print

Gulliver's Travels: Large Print

By Jonathan Swift

Luke Cummins

Have you sailed around the world? How about stepped somewhere no one else has. Ok, you've most likely touched a place no one else has, just by walking in the woods. But have you experienced being among strange animals and people not known to our existence? Probably not, unless you've seen aliens on Mars. The book “Gulliver's Travels” by an Englishman of the name Jonathan Swift was first published in 1726. Swift died in 1745, never realizing his work would be so influential and widely spread throughout the world. Overall I thought this was an amazing and fascinating tale. I would rate this book a four out of five stars. The only reason it is not five out of five stars is because the wording is at times confusing. The genre of these fascinating tales are fantasy. In my summary you won't have to worry about me giving away the ending as there is no actual ending but a series of four travels. The first account occurs when Gulliver gets shipwrecked alone and washes upon the shores of Lilliput. An army of Lilliputans who are around six inches tall, quickly tie him to the ground. I would keep explaining the hostilities thrown upon Gulliver's but I don't want to overwhelm the reader with details. Gulliver's gets taken to the emperor who quickly bonds with Gulliver. The name of the emperor is unknown. Gulliver spends almost a year on Liliput and he has many friends but he has also made serious enemies. After the rumor of blinding Gulliver and starving him was passed on to the Emperor, he almost immediately told Gulliver. Gulliver made a ship and sailed away. Gulliver's second adventure brings him to a land ruled by giants. Gulliver is initially found by farmers but later sold to the king. Gulliver is in danger almost everywhere he goes. One day while in his box an eagle picks Gulliver's box up and drops it with him in it into the ocean while being attacked by other Eagles. He is later found by a normal sized ship. The captain takes care of him but thinks Gulliver is crooked because some princes put men in a home in the water that slowly sinks. Gulliver's third travel takes place on a flying island with the most peculiar of people, who are so busy thinking they have servants who touch their mouths, eyes, and nose so they listen when spoken to, talk, and look where they're going. Because of this, Gulliver soon leaves the island and is brought upon a professor who talks about what government is like on their country. The fourth journey is a surprise that you'll only know if you read the book. This book also has a movie for those of you who are too lazy to read this book. I would suggest this book to boys and girls in seventh grade and up, no one lower unless this is explained to you and you understand what's happening. I also suggest this book to people who like government, or stories set in the past, also if you like to read about travelers. Again I rate this book a four out of five stars because of the fascinating tales told. I only took of a star because the wording can be confusing.
