I just finished Wings of Fire, Escaping Peril, a fantasy by Tui T. Sutherland, for the eighth time (It's still awesome!) and Wings of Fire is the best series ever! It is about a SkyWing named Peril who is a firescales (meaning that her scales are as hot as fire so she is super dangerous) and was very loyal to Queen Scarlet of the SkyWings. Until she met Clay. In the first book she is a Scarlet loyalist but then Scarlet Imprisons Clay and his friends and she falls in love with Clay. This makes her realize how evil Scarlet is and how horribly she treats her prisoners. Anyway now, in the eighth book Peril is no longer loyal to Scarlet and will do anything that she could ever possibly do to protect Clay. After Scarlet threatens Jade Mountain Academy, Peril realizes that the only thing that Clay wants, the only thing that will make Clay feel like he and his friends are safe, even if he will never admit it, is for Queen Scarlet to be killed. So Peril sets out to find the missing Queen and to kill her. Peril’s plan was to kill Scarlet immediately, without letting Scarlet talk her out of it. But things don't quite go as planned…

Ho Hum.... What do we have here? The BFG by Roald Dahl is a classic for a reason. So, let's start shall we? I really loved this book. The characters are full of love and are just AMAZING. But.... there is still something going on here. Even though the story was amazing and such, I felt a tad-bit of randomness. Because of that it knocked off one star. Still four stars, nothing to worry about. Now, now , now.... let's talk about the main characters- The BFG and Sophie. Their friendship is adorable. I felt that this was a message to love someone in the inside not the outside. I know what you're thinking, just spill it out...... awwwwww❤️ Anyway, to wrap this whole thing up, The BFG by Roald Dahl is just plain AWESOME! And hey, 4 stars is not that bad.

I think this book is awesome, amazing and a great book this book is called Real Friends. The author's name is Shannon Hale and the illustrator is Leuyen Pham. The main characters are Shannon, Adrienne, Jenifer and Jenny. Shannon and Adrienne have been best friends ever since they were little. But one day, Adrienne starts hanging out with Jenifer, the most poplar girl in class and the leader of a circle of friends called The Group. Everyone in the group wants to be Jenifer's #1, and some girls would do anything to stay on top ... even if it means bullying others. I like this book because it was a awesome graphic novel. The book had exciting action when Shannon played wonder twins with Adrienne.Or when Shannon typed the story with all her friends in the story. And the story has a great message was in the book the message was don't choose to be mean choose to be the nicest as you can be! Other kids would like this book if they like graphic novels or if they like books with good message. That is why other kids would like this book. Read Real Friends to find out what happens next.

How many people want a restart on life? A clean slate, a fresh page, a do-over? Chase Ambrose got exactly this. Chase fell off the roof of his house-- but he barely remembers doing it. He hit his head at the bottom of his fall and got amnesia, and he can't remember ANYTHING. His family, friends, and past life? Forgotten. Gone. So Chase is more than a little confused when at school, everyone keeps their distance from him, except two kids named Aaron and Bear, who were apparently his best friends in his life before amnesia. But they're very confused with the way he acts, and tell him that he's a lot different now then he used to be before his fall. Chase soon finds out he was a bully and a jerk to everyone in the life he can't remember, but he doesn't want to be one in his new restart on life. It will take a lot of work to show everyone he's changed, though. Through finding real friends in video club, exploring his unknown past, and even a court trial, Chase discovers the importance of being true to himself. This is definitely a book you won't forget (unlike Chase :D) and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a lot of laughs, a middle school setting, and an amazing story. This book kept me on the edge of my seat, and it's one of the best books I've read this year so far! I recommend this great read to ages 8+
