Heidi Heckelbeck Has a Secret

Heidi Heckelbeck Has a Secret

By Wanda Coven

I decided to read this book because by the cover and by reading the summary on the back, I thought this book would be very interesting. It was about this girl named Heidi that went to school for the first time ever. This is because she was always homeschooled by her mother with her little brother. She didn't want to go to school in the first place, but she had no choice but to go. She thought it was going to be bad but she made a new friend. But she also made an enemy that didn't like her. But, she found many ways to avoid her even though that girl did horrible things to Heidi. She decided she likes school after all. I liked this book a lot because I thought it was very interesting. This is why I gave this book a 4 star.

The Magic Misfits: The Minor Third

The Magic Misfits: The Minor Third

By Neil Patrick Harris

This book was amazing! Before the Mineral Wells talent show, Theo is torn between magic and music, friends and family, wondering who he should perform with. The Magic Misfits meet a girl named Emily, and he starts developing a crush on her, but the others don't trust her. Her father, Mick Meridian, made Theo's prized violin and many other things. The Misfits then find out a ventriloquist known as Wendel Whispers is coming to town, and they think he is working for an enemy and that they can solve another mystery about Dante Vernon's past. For those who read the book, I may have discovered something about the cover. You'll probably understand what I mean if you've finished it. The white stuff behind Theo, that's not smoke...

13 Gifts

By Wendy Mass

This is an awesome book. It's the most recent book in the series and is probably the best. It's about a girl who is misunderstood by her parents(or so she thinks) and is disappointed when her parents send her off on a vacation for the whole summer at her cousins house. But there is more of a mystery about why she is actually there than she thinks. The ending leaves you on a big cliff hanger. Hope u read it. :-)

Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow

Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow

By Jessica Townsend

11-year-old Morrigan Crow has always been blamed for everything. Since she was born on an Eventide, the beginning of a new age in her town Jackalfax, she is cursed to die on midnight the next Eventide, along with all the other kids that were unluckily born on that day as well, which makes her a bad-luck charm throughout her town. But when Eventide unexpectedly occurs early, Morrigan receives a mysterious letter from a man called Jupiter North, asking her to become his apprentice. It's an amazing opportunity, and even though it's almost midnight, she signs it, as all her hope is not yet lost. Suddenly, a strange man appears in her room, and with a narrow escape from midnight that Eventide, they crash through the massive clock tower of the town and are transported into seemingly into another world, a magical place called Nevermoor, thus cheating her death! The man, as Morrigan finds out, is the one and only Jupiter North! He brings her to his grand hotel and he tells her that he is entering her into a series of trials determining if she can get into the prestigious Wundrous Society, something Morrigan soon desperately wants to become part of, so she can finally be part of a family. She will have to compete against 500 other kids who are also competing for the few spots available, and if she can make it past the first few trials, she will have to present her special "knack" to the judges. But Morrigan has no clue what her special talent is, or how she'll figure it out! This question presses her as she is tested through every twist and turn of the Trials. Will Morrigan ever figure out her knack and become part of the Wondrous Society? Or will she have to be taken back to Jackalfax and face a terrible fate? I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS BOOK! No joke, this is literally one of my favorite books OF. ALL. TIME!! If it was possible to give this book 10 stars, I would!! The plot is gripping and magical. I loved the action and suspense of the Trials, and one of my favorite parts is Christmas-- it is so so good! I cannot wait until the next book comes out! Jessica Townsend is a fantastic author and I love how she shaped the characters throughout the book. I really enjoyed this book, and I highly recommend this book to any fantasy-loving person, and everybody else as well! :)

Camryn Augustyn 11-13-2020 MCDS 4-19 Language Arts Do you like to dance? Good, because today I am going to be talking about the book Katerina Ballerina by Tiler Peck and Kyle Harris and the illustrator of this book is Sumiti Collina. The book was written in May 2020. I thought the book was well written because it captured all the action and it made me want to keep reading and reading the book! In the story, Katerina Ballerina, Katerina is the main character. The story usually took place at home, school, or ballet. But there is a problem, Katirina’s dad was running low on money to pay for her ballet lessons. When Katirina found out about that she immediately went to town and danced to make some money to pay for her ballet lessons herself, but her dad would not let her. At her ballet there was a show where you could perform a dance that you made up on stage and Katirina decided to do it with her friend, but right before they went on stage her friend got hurt, so Katirina had to do it by herself. What will happen,........SHE WON!!! And she got to take free ballet lessons. Some things that I like most about the book were it captured all the details like what they said, did, and thought. Another thing that I like about the book was there was a problem and it went throughout the story so it made me want to keep reading it to see what would happen next. My last favorite thing about the book is I liked how the story was ordered. This paragraph is going to be my opinion of the characters in the story! The first character that I am going to be talking about is Katirina. In the story, Katrina is the main character,I thought she was a really good character in the story because she told the story really well and had good character traits. The second character is Katirina’s dad. I liked Katirina’s dad as one of the characters because he was nice to Katirina, but he was not one of my favorite characters because he did not have much to say. The next character is Katirina’s friend. Katirina’s friend is one of my favorite characters because she was a good friend and I would love to be her friend. Also the story would be very different without her in it. The last character is Katirina’s dog. The dog is one of my favorite characters because he sounded really cute and friendly in the story, even though they did not really talk about him too much I still think he is an important character. Those are some of my opinions of the characters!!! If you like to dance then this book is definitely for you and I recommend it, because it is a really good story and you will want to keep reading it to see what will happen next! If you do not like dance or are not interested in it then this book is probably not for you because it is about a girl who dances.

This book is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! I love it. It has everything a book could have!!! I wouldn't say it's for KIDS, because there is scenes that are more mature....one time, there were two people making out in the bathroom.... I say it's mostly for girls...not trying to be all steortypic, but boys really shouldn't read this...it there is jokes about periods and stuff...But it's a really good book! I love it! And I'm in 5th grade.. Kinda violent...Unless your parent are chill about what you read, you really shouldn't read this.. But great comic!!! I am inspired by it! Quite a touching ending!!! 10/10!!!
