Middle School Bites: Out for Blood

Middle School Bites: Out for Blood

By Banks, Steven

I expected this to be a kid friendly, off-kilter, but fairly predictable school daze comedy with a Vam-Wolf-Zom angle. Fair enough. I did not, however, expect the witty, deadpan, and clever bits, set pieces, and throwaway lines that really set this book, (the third in the series), apart from more pedestrian stuff. Our hero, Tom, is understandably befuddled by his triple-threat predicament. Rather than melting down, though, he handles his situation, and all of the complications that arise from it, with remarkable sang froid. As a consequence, the book is funny, upbeat, occasionally a bit edgy, and very smart. Tom keeps up a running commentary on all of the action, and his perceptive off the cuff observations, (on anything and everything), elevate the whole project. You could drop the entire plot and fashion this into a decent stand up comedy routine. All of this is aided immeasurably by a funny, manic wingman pal, a handful of smart and no nonsense girl friends, a misunderstood bully, a deadpan/mean/nice big sister, and about a dozen various adults who actually get some funny and wise lines of their own. So, the plot may be silly, but the execution is top notch. A fun find.

Seeds and Trees: A children's book about the power of words

Seeds and Trees: A children's book about the power of words

By Brandon Walden

Seeds and Trees has a symbolic theme, when I say this I mean that the trees are a symbol for kindness and mean things people say or do. All though some younger kids may not get the message that Seeds and Trees is trying to tell you I fell like this book is enjoyable for kids of all ages even if they don't know the theme, because they might be thinking about how cool the prince is or the trees. But this book is great for 4th and up. It shows how kindness is always the way to go, because you get a good tree when you're kind and a bad tree when you're negative. Over all I totally recommend Seeds and Trees.

Carmela Full of Wishes

Carmela Full of Wishes

By Matt de la Peña

This book is about a girl named Carmela and her birthday could not get any better. For her birthday she got a scooter and she was finally old enough to go to town with her brother. But she did not expect her brother to act the way he was acting he was working and ignoring her. In my opinion I think that this book shows that if somebody is giving negative to you then you should not be negative to them. This inspired me to be more kind to everyone. In this book I think they show kindness and compassion. If you like books that start out positive then negative and positive again then this book is for you.

Paradigm Theory: Explanations of Everything

By John Tiffin

In this book, there is a alone person. That alone person went to try to fit it put never found a way. This made we feel a way to know it's okay not to fit in. I love this book and i want you to read it. The theme is it's okay to be different. You would love this this book if you don't really fit in with other people. He was different and new he was different.

Fablehaven: Grip of the Shadow Plague (Fablehaven)

Fablehaven: Grip of the Shadow Plague (Fablehaven)

By Brandon Mull

So, in this book, it is all about Kendra and Seth again. There is an weird plague going around, changing light creatures into dark creatures- and someone has to sacrifice themselves to stop it. It all began when the Phoenix was realized to be evil. That was when he started making a LOT of trouble... The thing is, this was an amazing book, with so many plots and surprises. This was a book that I just could not forget. I read this like, at the beginning of this year, but I remember it so clearly.

Absolutely wonderful! Great job bringing awareness to the events of 911 without leaving my son sad and depressed. Multiple story lines converging at the end made the suspense to great that he had to finish the book. He's read it twice and puts it up there with Orbiting Jupitet. Great read and great teaching lesson!

School Picture Day (Picture Puffin Books)

By Lynn Plourde

This book is cool! I think that if you like books like Clovis keeps his cool this is an excellent choice for you . This book talks about a girl who keeps fidgeting with every thing she sees .But no one is proud they are all mad. But at the end she saves the day. This book inspired me to realize that no one has to be the same. so I think the theme is don't let anyone dull your sparkle . so all in all this book is amazing.

Mrs. Roopy Is Loopy! (My Weird School)

Mrs. Roopy Is Loopy! (My Weird School)

By Dan Gutman

I love this book I wanted to read more and more every moment! I think the theme is don't let anyone dull your sparkle. I think that because Ms. Roopy (the teacher) is always being herself and that is how everyone likes her. I know that she is dressing up like others , but that is her way of being her self. Now if you like to be exited about reading you should really really try this book!
