The River (A Hatchet Adventure)
By Gary Paulsen
SavannaMoore
I would read Hatchet first, it would make more sense. He is not alone this time. He has a man named Derek Holtzer with him. But on a stormy night Derek reaches for his briefcase and gets struck by lightning and in a coma. Brian had to build a raft and travel the river to a trading post where they are saved. I totally recommend it! 🙂
Miss Communication (Babymouse Tales from the Locker)
By Jennifer L. Holm
When there's a trend, don't count Babymouse out! When texting and surfing the Internet becomes all the rage, Babymouse will do everything in her power to obtain a cell phone of her very own. But when the obsession over funny animal videos, texting slang, and building up an empire of social media followers push her over the edge, can Babymouse really stick with the trends?
The True Blue Scouts of Sugar Man Swamp
By Kathi Appelt
The True Blue Scouts of Sugar Man Swamp by Kathi Appelt is about two raccoons who work in a swamp, doing jobs and following the stars and the fantastical Sugarman for direction. It is a charming story about frindship, perserverance, believeing in each other and fighting with courage for whats right. I would reccomend this books lto lovers of animals and bravery.
Field Tripped
By Allan Woodrow
I got this book at the school library and I'm not done reading it but it is a very good book. I am writing this later after finishing it and it is a very good book. Definently recomend. You can also buy on Amazon.
Jada Sly, Artist & Spy
By Sherri Winston
I'm pretty good that you can't do something that doesn't happen or anything in my head and it's a little too complicated to make
Xtreme Illusions 2: Mind-Blowing Illusions, Wacky Brain Teasers, Awesome Puzzles (National Geographic Kids)
By National Geographic, Gianni Sarcone
I actually think illusions are really cool - the Marilyn/Einstein article on DOGO News was probably one of my favorite articles :) Not all of these worked for me, and the cow one I had to stare at it for 5 minutes before it finally worked lol :) The Cheshire Cat is probably my favorite character in Alice in Wonderland (besides the Mad Hatter of course) and I'm actually quite sad that it didn't work for me.. Odd.. I'm sure that there's a lot more cool illusions in this book and I really want this book.. National Geographic is really very awesome! I don't exactly have 20/20 vision (I wear glasses) so I wasn't sure any was going to work for me, but some did! :) So happy :) The fact that colors are created in your mind, not nature, was interesting, and my favorite(s) are all of them!
Lea Leads the Way (American Girl Today)
By Lisa Yee
In the sequel to Lea Dives in, Lea journeys to the Amazon. She is prepared to see Jaguars and Toucans, Monkeys and Caimans, and to take epic photos of them. What she doesn't expect is falling face first into piranha-infested water, eating a grub and almost ENJOYING it, getting chased down by a grumpy rooster, and adopting a baby sloth whose mother was probably eaten by a harpy eagle. Life just isn't easy in the rainforest. I actually found myself enjoying this book and instead of having to force myself to read it, like with Lea Dives In, it was actually interesting to read this one, because there's a lot of character development, and it's always cool to learn about new places. Like, did you know that it's a myth that piranhas eat humans? What actually happened was in 1913 president Theodore Roosevelt decided to tour the Amazon, so the local people, to impress him, caught piranhas, isolated them, and starved them. When Roosevelt arrived, the locals threw a live cow in the water, and the piranhas DEVOURED it. Roosevelt wrote about what he saw and VOILA a myth was born. Overall, a good book and a nice read for when you're bored and want to feel like you're touring the Amazon rainforest WITH Lea instead of just reading about it. I suggest for elementary ages, but hey, if you're older and want to give it a go, get reading!
