Home for the Holidays (The Mother-Daughter Book Club)

By Heather Vogel Frederick

In Home for the Holidays by Heather Vogel Fredrick, the character who faces the most problems is Becca. In every Mother-Daughter book club book, there is always 1 girl out of the 4 girls who has a family problem. In the book, Becca is still feeling a little uncomfortable about being friends with Emma, Cassidy, and Jess. Megan is her friend, so she is fine with her. She is uncomfortable because she used to tease Emma and Jess a lot, and she always hated Cassidy. Even worse for her, her family is having money issues, because her dad lost his job. I think that the main thing in this book is about their friendship together, and how they kept it together. Along the way, Becca messes up a few times, like stealing one of Megan’s friends, and playing mean pranks out of selfishness. In this book, I would say is when Becca is having sort of a self-conflict, because she still feels a little guilty about used being mean to all of them. She seems to really want to become their friends, but sometimes, her old habits still get in the way. Christmas was coming up, and Becca did not want any of her friends to know that her family was broke, so was always in a really bad mood, and never explaining herself, causing the other girls to get mad at her, because it seems likes Becca is jealous of something, or mad. Meanwhile, Emma and Jess, friends who have never fought before are now fighting, right before Christmas. Jess is mad at Emma, because Emma keeps listening to what Jess’s cousin, Felicia is saying about her. All of the girls keep fighting because people around them are playing pranks on them, causing them to blame each other. The story switches around to multiple points of views, and I realized that they all just misunderstood each other when they got into fights. Like what we used in class, I think the author’s goal is to show a character’s motivation, but by using different points of views for the reader to find out what was happening. The goals the author showed were what made the story interesting, in my opinion. This review was also for my home log.

The Stolen Chapters (Story Thieves)

The Stolen Chapters (Story Thieves)

By James Riley

If this book was anything, it was CLEVER. And MINDBLOWING. And utterly EPIC. James Riley put himself in his own book, he put the first Story Thieves book in THIS book, the characters find out that they're fictional, they see their OWN BOOK and - It's just completely MINDBLOWING I CANNOT GET OVER HOW MINDBLOWING THIS IS. I love how the flashbacks come and pass and how Owen ironically thinks how annoying flashbacks are and - oh, do you know why he (and Kiel) are having flashbacks? Because Kiel erased their memories with his forget spell. But the memories do come back after awhile, you can only wonder What? Why? How? Who? When? My final say is that James Riley is on top of his game with these beautifully and ironically twisted stories, and I am just in love with his books right now.

Charlie Joe Jackson's Guide to Not Reading (Charlie Joe Jackson Series)

Charlie Joe Jackson's Guide to Not Reading (Charlie Joe Jackson Series)

By Tommy Greenwald

For fans of Diary of the Wimpy Kid or Tom Gates series... this book is for you! I really liked how everything played out at the end... This may seem like your tale of a middle schooler... and you're a 100% right... but there are ACTION.... SUSPENSE...which gives it a more exciting way to read this book... Although it has a boy perspective, it's totally fine, and I understood that all boys act the way they act... well maybe not... but most boys... Meet Charlie Joe Jackson, he thinks reading is redundant and he does not enjoy it... not even one little bit... I REPEAT he thinks reading is redundant and he does not enjoy it... not even one little bit... Okay to be honest... this is DOGObooks here... and we are here to write reviews about amazing books and movies, give our input about the news, and meet amazing people here... .So I thought it is pretty ironic while I am typing my reviews... but this story was hilarious.. and for some of you readers out there...it's pretty ridiculous and quirky... I am an avid reader myself, so all these tips that Charlie gave in the beginning of the chapter... were pretty funny... So it starts off with Charlie's friend, Timmy, won't write any more book reports.. Now Charlie Joe is in trouble... he has to find a person to write his reviews for him... or Plan B... he has to do it!!! This middle school adventure was pretty hilarious.. With cartoonish illustration... this story made my day... So for those who do not like reading... this book is for you... to just people who want to have something to laugh and smile.. this books is totally for you! Enjoy! :D

Oxford Bookworms Library: The Phantom of the Opera: Level 1: 400-Word Vocabulary

By Jennifer Bassett

This book "The phantom of the Opera" is talking about a person that live in a big opera, many people think that he is a ghost, because they think that he is very ugly. He always wearing a mask to hide her face behind the mask, but he has a good voice, better than many people. One girl find him and started singing with him and the man is fall in love. He is dangerous and scary, many accident will maybe because of him. I think it is scary in some part of the book. This book use many sentences to make me think the scenes in my mind. My favourite character is the girl that sing with that man. I think she has a good voice and she is pretty. I think this book makes many mystery things to make the readers think more about the story. I think this book were mysterious and excited.

Four Children and It

Four Children and It

My current favourite book ever! This book is a great sequel to five children and it because this is set in modern days. Another great book from the author. Jacqueline Wilson.

The Poet's Dog

The Poet's Dog

By Patricia MacLachlan

This book was terrible. I didn't care about any of the main characters, and there were so many plot holes this was like reading swiss cheese. This is from the point of view of a dog, which I thought was interesting. I always like it when books are written from the perspective of something that is not human. The One and Only Ivan was a great example of this, and much better tham The Poet's Dog. The flashbacks here are frequent, and are much more interesting than the real story at hand. 1/5
