Adventures of Tom Sawyer (Boys' & Girls' Library)

Adventures of Tom Sawyer (Boys' & Girls' Library)

By Mark Twain

A classic by Mark Twain of "Adventures of Tom Sawyer" which is about a boy who goes by the well-known name of Tom Sawyer with at first mischievous and immature boy at the beginning of the story, often getting in trouble with his aunt Polly often scold her nephew. You would often see that Tom would be with his friend, Huck (Huckleberry Finn) whom Tom really close to, getting in trouble, too with him. Then Rebecca (known most of time as just Becky) Thatcher, a daughter of the town's new judge, as Tom got the romantic interest in Becky, got "engaged" due to the kiss until it's revealed by Tom that he actually "engaged" by another girl, Amy Lawrence, had the fight with Becky about it. Then, we have Injun Joe, a Native American who would defend himself most of time but got the racism from Tom and Huck. Later in the book, as Tom grew more considerate, kind, funny, and more mature than the beginning of the story. I had to read this for school and finally finished with this book today as I didn't really enjoy this due to the type of English which is Old English which can make me more harder to understand and also with the racism against the colored or even Native Americans. - Happy Reading...maybe!

Over Sea, Under Stone (The Dark is Rising, Book 1)

By Susan Cooper

On holiday in Cornwall, the three Drew children discover an ancient manuscript hidden somewhere in the attic of the house that they are staying in. They know immediately that it is special. It is even more than that -- the key to finding a grail, a source of power to fight the forces of evil known as the Dark. As the Drew children and their "mentor", Uncle Merry, they do realise how much their life is in jeopardy, because there are other people trying to find this manuscript, and may end up killing them for it. This is the first volume of Susan Cooper's brilliant and intriguing fantasy sequence known as The Darks Rising.

The Red Pyramid (The Kane Chronicles, Book 1)

The Red Pyramid (The Kane Chronicles, Book 1)

By Rick Riordan

Carter Kane and his dad are on the way to pick up Sadie, Carter's sister who he only sees twice a year. Except this time, Carter's dad seems to be distracted and clutching his bag tightly. Everytime that happens, something always happens to Carter's notice. Sadie and Carter see their dad talking to a guy named Amos. What follows next in the museum will change Carter and Sadie's lives. Strange things have always happen that Carter has noticed. On his birthday which also happened to be his twin sister Sadie's, their birthday cake blew up when Carter got angry. Now, something even stranger happens. Carter and Sadie's dad blows up the Rosetta Stone, setting many Egyptian gods free. Sadie and Carter discover their dad is a magician, and that their uncle is Amos. The twins also discover they host gods, making them godlings. Overall, this book was really interesting and I also thought that the parts of the beginning of the chapters where Sadie and Carter were passing the mic over was funny. I recommend this book to people who are interested in learning more about the Egyptian gods and their history. I also recommend this book to people who enjoy the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. I rate this book 5/5.

The Last Kids on Earth

The Last Kids on Earth

By Max Brallier

Wakefield was once an ordinary town-that was before the monster apocalypse took place. 42 days ago, the town was hit by waves of zombies, Dozers, Windged Wretches and a lot more monsters. 13-year old Jack Sullivan has been living in his tree-house ever since that day, when his foster family took off without him(he doesn't miss them). He is actually having fun in his tree house-he has armed it with catapults and moats, and has video games and supplies of Oreos and Mountain Dew from nearby abandoned stores. He gets to fight monsters and take action-filled photos just like he always wanted. The only thing is that he wishes he knew where his best friend Quint is, and he wants to rescue his crush June (wherever she is), and not that she knows he exists. One day he uses his Walkie, and finds Quint! Quint has been staked out at his own house, and has been busy with science experiments and preparing Big Mama(a super-awesome advanced car), for fighting monsters. Eventually Jack and Quint find an old bully Dirk, and the three team up. But Jack is dedicated to finding June and rescuing the damsel in distress. All the while he has to avoid Blarg, an interestingly smart monster who has it out for Jack. Will he succeed and survive in this new world? The story is told in a mixture of text and black-and-white comic book illustrations that is easy to read and follow along. I really liked the science involved in some of their adventures, like when Quint outfits Big Mama for battle. I recommend this book to elementary and middle school boys. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

The Titan's Curse (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 3) (0)

The Titan's Curse (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 3) (0)

By Rick Riordan

Lots of adventure, that's just how I like my books. If you don't like adventure, fantasy then this probably isn't a book for you. But anyways, it shows friendship, and trusting your friends in hard situations. I hope you like this book as much as I did if you ever read it (I recommend you read the books before this in the series first).

The Realms of the Gods (Immortals, The)

The Realms of the Gods (Immortals, The)

By Tamora Pierce

Final adventure in the series featuring Daine and her friends. This book possibly be one of my favorites from this series, beautifully and expressive written by Tamora Pierce. As you would meet more new characters as we go through our last adventure with Veralidaine Sarrasri as we learn few of the shocking secrets that Daine never even knew about in her lifetime. Now sixteen, she started to find the romance and friendships with the characters. Again, like I said before, this book is possibly one of my favorite from this series of "The Immortal" as there'll have the plot twists, not something that you would expect from this book and you may want to sit in your comfy seat and read all day, reading and being with Daine. - Happy Reading!

Mary Engelbreit's Classic Library: A Little Princess

Mary Engelbreit's Classic Library: A Little Princess

By Frances Hodgson Burnett

This is a book about a little girl called Sara Crewe. She had servants, closets full of clothing, and a great dad. Her mom died when she was born, but she did not miss her, because she never saw her. Sara loved telling stories and she loved reading books. She was a pretty girl, with long lashes and eyes with a queer color. Her life was better than everyone else. One day, Sara's father told Sara to go to a boarding school for young ladies. She didn't like the place because it was dull and ugly on the inside, with a very ugly and strict teacher who only cared about wealth. Before the day of of leaving each other, Sara's father bought her a doll that Sara loved, who was called Emily. In the boarding school, everyone liked her, except some of the big girls that were popular before Sara came. She cared for a mother-less girl called Lottie and even made a friend called Ermengarde. I'm not going to tell you the rest, but you can read to find out! I recomend it for 7-13 year olds.

The Warden and the Wolf King (The Wingfeather Saga)

The Warden and the Wolf King (The Wingfeather Saga)

By Andrew Peterson

Oh my goodness guys there is no possible way i can recommend this book enough!! This book is a book from the Wingfeather Saga book series and my favorite book of all time. It is so full of adventure and is often a roller-coaster of emotions (if you are an emotional person, this book will make you cry!). In this book Janner and his brother are separated from their family (on purpose) mostly due to Kalmar's "terrible secret". Leeli stays in the Hollows and helps the people there the best she can through the power of her music. Meanwhile in Skree, Sarah Cobbler, Maraly, Gammon, and Arthrum are helping orphans from the fork factory find there parents, but there's just one problem: why can't they find Sarah's? Will Janner and Kalmar make it on their jorney? Will Leeli's music be enough? What if Sarah Cobbler never finds her parents? The only part I would say I don't like about this book is it's bittersweet end (it's a little more bitter than sweet). I hope you found this review helpful!!
