Kids Books - New

I just finished ready Judy Moody Goes to College by Megan McDonald it was a very good book. I really enjoyed the book because I was always curious on what Judy Moody would say next because she is very sassy. Her math teacher says she needs to improve her math skills. Does this mean she needs a tutor or flashcard? f you want to know read the book!

Judy is thrilled when her teacher announces that they are going to study the Amazing Human Body in class. Not only do they learn all kinds of “RARE!” things, but they get to go on field trip to the ER in the local hospital. Here the doctor in charge tells them all about what happens in the ER, he shows them some very interesting x-rays, and he even demonstrates how they put a cast on a broken arm. Best off all he uses Judy’s arm to demonstrate! The only thing that worries Judy is that she cannot come up with a good idea for her Human Body project. Stink won’t let her operate on his toad, she does not think her band-aid collection is all that interesting, and every other idea that she comes up simple isn't best-third-grade-project-ever worthy. Then Stink shares a special secret with Judy and she gets the idea of a lifetime. As with all the Judy Moody books, this title is laugh out loud funny. Judy, her brother Stink, and all her friends are as delightful as ever. Their ‘voices’ are genuine, and their adventures are true to life. At the same time, the stories have a delicious element of nuttiness that children (and other readers!) will find irresistible.

I read this a while ago, and it's one of my favorites of the Mallory McDonald series.

The lesson that DR. Jekyll learns is that he shouldn't have taken the drug because it changes his life forever. For example, when DR. Jekyll turns into Hyde, his personality changes into evil. He can be hazardous because in the book it says that he killed someone and ran away. This shows that trying to change yourself has very negative affects. For one, he can't spend time with the people he likes, for fear of turning into Hyde, and he can't do his projects because he might turn into Hyde. Also,now people are going to keep an eye on Hyde and if someone sees him turn back into Jekyll, then it will be really risky. DR. Jekyll will be in a worse situation because of it and now, he can never be himself without Hyde. If Jekyll didn't take the drug, he would be better off without Hyde around. I rate this book a “7 out of 10” and the illustrations a “5 out of 10.” I really recommend this book because it is full of mystery and action and after every page there is a picture, which makes it very easy to visualize. One unanswered question I would like to ask is… What made MR. Hyde so evil? Was it something in the drug? If so, would Jekyll still have some control over Hyde because Jekyll has the same brain when he turns into Hyde?

Everything Everything is a book I decided to read based off of my favorite genre, which is realistic fiction. I recommend this book to others to read because I feel like it is so inspiring toward others. I also felt like it told a great story which I believe happened to be true. This books is about a 18 year old girl named Madeline Whitter, who supposedly is allergic to the outside world. Her disease is preventing to being expose to the outdoors. Maddy has a nurse that takes care of her daily, the nurse is named Carla. Maddy has only been exposed to only a couple people in her life span. Until a boy and his family moved in next door. The boy was named Olly, and has soon Maddy saw him she was automatically attracted to this boy who seemed to be around her age. They started to talk through email. Carla found out there little secret, and Maddy begged to have him come over. Carla gave in and aloud Olly to visit just once though. Once turned into three, four more times. Eventually Maddy's mom found, and banned her from seeing Olly. Not only that but took her computer privileges as well, but that didn't keep her from speaking with him. Also Carla got fired because she couldn't be trusted. Maddy and Olly planned a trip to Hawaii together. Olly wasn't convinced at first, but Maddy said she had a medication to keep her from having allergic reaction. Olly was convinced! Maddy secretly booked flights to Hawaii for both of them. They left for Hawaii very early in the morning when no one was awake. They flew off! The next day, Maddy was taken to the hospital. Olly had no choice but to call Maddy's mom. Maddy's mom came to Hawaii to take Maddy home. Now it's up to you to read the rest. Will she have a reaction to being outside to long? Does she even have the disease? Did her mom lie to her? Will she ever get to go outside again? Will she still be able to see/talk to Olly?

Isabel and her sister are orphaned slaves for The Locktons. Rich and strong supporters of the King. Unsympathetic for the patriots and even less to Isabel and her sister.

Isabel meets a boy named Curzon, a salve with connections with the patriots, offers her with he opportunity to spy on her owners for details about an expected British invasion. When Isabel's life changes she must decide where her loyalty lays and who can provide her freedom and help her break her "chains." I enjoyed this book and would recommend it for it's wonderful details!

What if someone told you that time travel was possible; that you can journey to the past or venture into the future? The Time Traveler, whose name is never revealed, is an intelligent but extremely eccentric scientist who discovers that there are four known dimensions of space--which really only means that you can easily move up and down, left and right, forward and backwards, and through Time. As long as you have entire consciousness and speed, you can break its constraints move around it. And so the unnamed Time Traveler brings himself to the year 802,701--that’s 30 million years from his own time. When he finally finds his way to the future, he finds his home--London--to be gone. Every building that formed the city no longer stands--just structures that act as homes to a society of simple-minded and innocent creatures who call themselves the Eloi. But as he continues his stay with them, he notices strange things, things the Eloi won’t tell him about. Sinister ghost-like beings that come in the night --deep voids in the ground that lead into what seems like nothing, and why are the Eloi so deathly afraid of the dark?--but ultimately, no one tells the Time Traveler about what happened to the human race. Most science fiction books during that century--the 1800s--were centered around the entire idea of being able to travel through time, but H.G. Wells was the first to actually try to explain the science of moving through the dimension of duration. Most of you probably wouldn’t enjoy books written in 1895--that’s 119 years old-- but The Time Machine really is worth reading-- and its only a little less than a hundred pages long. You’ll find that the Time Traveler, especially, is one of the most interesting parts of the book because you get to understand the mind of a scientist--it makes you think like him when you look at the world. The Time Machine is a novel that stands the test of time and humanity. But if there’s one thing I didn’t love about this book is how Wells views the--truly haunting--fate of us. And he definitely deepened the meaning of The Time Machine with thought-provoking ideas people today haven’t really cared enough to think about--the idea that today’s problems such as rampant industrialization and especially class struggle, will carry on to the future even 800,000 years from now. And although it’s only fiction, the way Wells portrays the future can very well be true. The human race doesn’t end, of course--but something much worse happens; something inhumane. “It sounds plausible enough tonight,” says the Time Traveler, “but wait until tomorrow. Wait for the common sense of the morning...for after the Battle comes quiet.”

the mention of war is the title: acoWAR. but its honestly not so bad. some of it really breaks my heart, and i make sure to reread this book every year or so.
