Once Upon the End (Half Upon a Time)

Once Upon the End (Half Upon a Time)

By James Riley

If you haven't read Half Upon a Time and Twice upon a time, this story will NOT make any sense. But it is the most epic grande finale I have ever read.

Firelight (Amulet #7)

Firelight (Amulet #7)

By Kazu Kibuishi

Title: Amulet Firelight Author: Kazu Kabuishi Genre: Sci fi I would give this a 3/5 rating because in my opinion how they switch from situation to situation can be annoying for me. Whoever some of the parts are good for example when Emily turns into a bird, that's cool! Secondly this book has some interesting parts like when the shadows control the fish and they pierce through the glass. I would recommend this book for 3rd+ because if a 2nd grader read this they might not understand it or think it's real.

The Last Hope (Warriors: Omen of the Stars   No. 6)

The Last Hope (Warriors: Omen of the Stars No. 6)

By Erin Hunter

The last book of the final series of Warrior Cats. This book is full of adventures and danger, with sadness and despair. With all of the four clans uniting to battle with the dark forest, under Firestar's lead, the four clans unite as one and defeated the dark forest's evil cats. I really admire Firestar because usually a kitty pet is not respected and treated really mean, however Firestar was treated well and other cats respect him as a true clan born, and other cats would want to follow him even the other clan leaders. I really liked this series from the starting to the end, even though it wasn't considered a happy ending. Firestar's character shows the life of some people work hard to earn their spot in society and get respected, when they started with nothing., however if you are willing to try you may succeed.

Among the Impostors (Shadow Children Book 2)

Among the Impostors (Shadow Children Book 2)

By Margaret Peterson Haddix

Have you ever imagined being an illegal third child? In addition to being an illegal child you have to learn how to blend in with new surrounding. Well the book Among the Imposters by Margaret Peterson Haddix shows just that. “Among the Imposters” is the second book in a series called Shadow Children. Luke Garner or should I say Lee Grant, all of his life he’s been hiding avoiding the population police. Population police are officers who encourage the law of illegal third children to help population levels decrease. They also invade people’s homes searching for exneys (illegal third children), executing the third children when they figure that they are actually third children. Luke was sent to the school of Hendricks with a fake I.D playing the role of a boy named Lee Grant. Hendricks School of Boys is a windowless school with brutal students who disrespect Luke, and the teachers are absolutely oblivious. One day Luke discovers a door that leads outside. Will Luke discover what lies outside of the Hendricks school? Will his question unfold? You have to read Among the Imposters to find out. I recommend this book or series for people in 5-8 grade who enjoy exciting thrillers because I feel that this has a pretty deep content. I also feel they might not understand the meaning, and purpose of the book or series. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I did.

Bad News (The Bad Books)

Bad News (The Bad Books)

By Pseudonymous Bosch

I just finished a book called "Bad Luck" by Pseudonymous Bosch. The genre is fantasy because there are fantasy creatures in the book. I rated it " just right" on a scale of 1 to 5 of easy, going up to challenging. I think I would recommend this book for grades 4 to 6. I really liked this book, but it is the third in a series, so you should start with the first two which are really good too.

The Girl Who Owned a City (Laurel-Leaf Science Fiction)

The Girl Who Owned a City (Laurel-Leaf Science Fiction)

By O. T. Nelson

The plague has killed everyone except people under the age of 12., and now Lisa Nelson and her brother Todd just want to survive. Lisa has lots of nice ideas, and this is because she thinks a lot. She has already gotten many supplies from supermarkets and abandoned houses and is constantly thinking of more places. The main part of the book starts when she decides that Grand Avenue needs a militia to protect them from marauding gangs. First, they install defense measures, then they start training to fight and defend their home, Grandville, as they are now calling it. The city in the title gets started when Lisa discovers that the local Glenbard High School is easier to defend than Granville. Taking charge as the leader, with Charlie Craig and Jill, three other important characters, as council members, she decides to build a settlement of children who want safety. Many gangs attack and are repelled; however, the Chidester Gang is particularly stubborn and threatens to conquer the City of Glenbard. For me, the book was a little too direct and non-descriptive. Nevertheless, the story is quite relatable even though it was written during the seventies, and the themes(self-reliance and leadership) were complex enough and portrayed pretty well. An issue with this book was that the climax was only 40 pages whereas the rest of the book talked about building the city. This book is good for people who like action and adventure.

Among the Enemy (Shadow Children)

Among the Enemy (Shadow Children)

By Margaret Peterson Haddix

The book "Among the Enemy" is an enthralling novel that always kept me at the edge of my seat. The main character is an illegal child. Yet he sacrifices himself to save his best friends and people like him. He is met with challenges and overcomes them with the help of friends of all ages. I highly recommend this realistic fiction story and I hope you will too.

Teardrop

Teardrop

By Lauren Kate

Just finished this book today, and I have to say, it was pretty good. It has a few curse words, and a detailed description of a murdered woman, so I would not recommend for younger readers. But I will be anticipating the next book!

My sister the vampire: Re-Vamped. By Sienna Mercer. 197 Pages. The twins are trying to find their real parents but their adoption file is missing. They are getting closer to finding their real parents but spend most of their time sad when they find out Ivy id moving to Europe because of her dads work. In the end they end up finding their real parents but I'll let you find out who their real parents are. I really loved the book, It's just that I probably wouldn't pick one of these books again for a book report because they can be described as long.
