Pillage

Pillage

By Obert Skye

Pillage was alright. What I felt after reading this was that it was a poorly-stitched-together story. First of all, the emotions were not expressed at ALL. Beck says the word "Grow," the ivy grows, and almost no reaction there. Basically: Oh, yeah, I can make plants bow to me at my command, no big deal. So the emotions weren't very realistic. The author did have a more realistic view of Beck's view on Kate, but very unromantic part when he kisses her. If you're actually going to have romance in a book, make it worth it! Worth noting, I didn't feel any sort of attachment to Beck, Kate, Milo, or any of the characters in the book. Third, this book is a bit of a whirlwind, jumping from one event to the next. Fourth, at the end of the book, not much of an epic conflict at all. And since when does the law give in so easily?! I mean, the video of the dragons could have been Photoshopped, for all they know, to cover up an incident where muggers lope into Kingsport and trash the place. On the pro's side: Clean language and easy-reading. 9-11 year olds is all I can recommend this to.

The Name of the Star (The Shades of London)

The Name of the Star (The Shades of London)

By Maureen Johnson

Honestly, this book was great, but it violent and slightly disturbing. It got weird at the part where the person fixed the video feed and replayed the history. It showed the victim getting chased by an invisible person and being slashed to death by a ghost. Alright, now to the plot: Rory arrived at a boarding school in England the same day that the Jack the Ripper reenactments started. Rory almost chokes to death and then she can see ghosts. The new serial killer turns out to be a ghost. She sees him one night before he murders someone and then she becomes his next target. A ghost kills him with a weapon that destroys them both right before he kills her. The end :/

Maybe a Fox

Maybe a Fox

By Kathi Appelt, Alison McGhee

This book was not what I would expect from the title, but that’s for a good thing. A girl named Jules lives with her father and older sister, Sylvie, who is 12. (Jules is 11) Near their house is a cave that gushes water at very high spades, and if you slip into it, you will fall into what they call the Slip, and die. That is what happened to Sylvie on a snowy weekday in Vermont. I totally recommend this book if you love unexpected plots!

Clockwork

Clockwork

By Philip Pullman

gummy bear3428

This amazing book is all about a boy called Karl and he is a clock worker`s apprentice. He has got to make a figure for the clock tower ceremony. Karl did not make a figure then this creepy person called Dr Kalemenius who had made a killing machine and given it to Karl. However, he did not tell Karl that it was a horrible clock work monster. My opinion about the story is that it is an amazing book and it is suitable for all ks2 children as well as adults. It is an intriguing book full of adventures with two stories merging into one which is very fun as well as confusing. It also makes a great scary story for a present. I would recommend this book to Ks2 and up because it will thrill you and keep you on your toes the whole way through the story.
