The Trouble with Robots

The Trouble with Robots

By Mohrweis, Michelle

Evelyn loves robotics. She takes a robotics class that has a robotics team and is even the team lead! But since her best friend Naiely moved away, the team has been falling apart. The other kids have been doing other things when they should be working, and Evelyn doesn't know how to keep them together. The robotics teacher, Mrs.Weir, has said that if she doesn't let the others help out more, she will take away her role as the team lead! Allie is another eighth grader who has trouble controlling her anger. She's already been kicked out of three classes, and if she gets kicked out of robotics, Allie will be sent to Sunrise Junior High, where all the troublemakers go. Allie doesn't think she'll like robotics, but eventually, she does. But will she lose her temper again? Then, the two classmates learn that Principal Gilbert might cancel the robotics class if the team doesn't do well at the upcoming tournament. Everything depends on the robotics team winning the tournament. But will they learn to work together in time? I liked this book because it was exciting and was told from two different points of view. I didn't like how the author used the phrase "made a face" so often.

Brian's Winter (A Hatchet Adventure)

Brian's Winter (A Hatchet Adventure)

By Gary Paulsen

This book is very interesting after reading "Hatchet" and "The River" because all you think about is Brian going to die? Or is Brian going to be rescued. I recommend this book if you like reading about survival.

Fuzzy Mud

Fuzzy Mud

By Louis Sachar

In Fuzzy Mud, the fiction novel by Louis Sachar, A young girl named Tamaya discovers a strange mud in the woods. This mud leads to many unfortunate events in the town of health cliff. Which was eventually lead into quarantine. Tamaya is a fifth grader who always obeys the rules, This behavior is displayed many times in the book by Sachar. One example of this is when tamayas best friend hope says to a seventh grader “Don’t listen to her, Tamayas a real goody two-shoes.” Sachar 5. Tamaya walks home with marshall, a seventh grader. Marshall has been getting bullied by the new kid, Chad. Who claims to have been expelled from multiple schools. Chad challenges marshall to a fight, and the location is along the route marshall takes with tamaya to walk home. Marshall decides to take a short cut, which leads to the whole town being put in quarantine because of the fuzzy mud. I believe the theme of this book is that the author is trying to shed light upon the fact that so many things are polluting the earth to this day. An example of this is when somebody says to Dr Mark Humbard that the new way to power cars is “clean” and he responds with “Clean energy? Is that what they're calling it? There's nothing clean about it.” Sachar 9. Also the pollution of the earth is affecting us. One example from the book is how the fuzzy mud, that is made from The same new way to power cars, wreaks havoc among health cliff residents. I love this book and would definitely recommend it to other people, Particularly because i never wanted to put it down. It had suspense and horror filled moments, aha and surprising moments, it had everything. . The characters showed a lot of courage and strength. I would mostly recommend this book to people interested in science and/or suspenseful books.

Love That Dog

Love That Dog

By Sharon Creech

I don't even like poetry which is how this book is written but it was so great to read. It is written all as letters to the author Walter Dean Meyers so it's basically like a homework assignment that any kid could have! But it is so good and sweet I love this book.

A Figure in Hiding (The Hardy Boys #16)

A Figure in Hiding (The Hardy Boys #16)

By Franklin W. Dixon

The hardy boys books are my favourite books series in the world. They are packed with adventure and mystery!!! This one started when a blind peddler sent the hardy boys a warning with a strange glass eye on it. This glass eye takes them on a big mystery. I would recommend these books for 8 to 14 year olds. This book was one of the best so far in the series. You should read it.

Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants (Captain Underpants #4)

Poor Professor Poopypants is just trying to show the world his brilliance and how he can help it. Unfortunately for him, everyone ignores his inventions and instead laughs at his silly name. This gets Professor Poopypants enraged, and he becomes a villain who changes the names of everyone! George and Harold are in despair. Can Captain Underpants once again save the day?

Kristy and the Worst Kid Ever (Baby-Sitters Club)

Kristy and the Worst Kid Ever (Baby-Sitters Club)

By Ann M. Martin

" 'You know what? I feel sorry for Lou. She is the absolute worst kid have ever met.' Not one single person disagreed with me." - From "Kristy and the Worst Kid Ever. When Kristy's neighbors, the Papadakis, are going to foster a child, Kristy and the other BSC girls are excited to meet the child and babysit for him or her. But when Lou comes (BTW, she hates being called Louisa), the girls was surprised to find that she is incredible rude, disobedient, and just a terror! The girls feel sorry for Lou, she's the worst kid ever! I thought this book was good, but still very sad. This book teaches the importance of letting people come into your life instead of shutting everyone out. It also teaches the importance of never giving up on a person, even when they want you to. It is a great book, although sad. I believe a reader could be taught many good life lessons just in the first couple of chapters. I suggest if you like babysitting, friendship, and drama. Happy reading!

Eleanor Roosevelt (History Maker Bios)

Eleanor Roosevelt (History Maker Bios)

By Mary Winget

Eleanor Roosevelt, by Shannon Donnelly, is about overcoming injustices. When she was just a child, she was very shy and awkward. However, her father had told her that she had to help less fortunate people. Soon, her braveness overcame her fears and she became a popular student at Allenswood Boarding School. When she grew up, she did many good things, including contributing to the Nineteenth ammendment, cheering up many slums, and much more. I recommend this biography for boys and girls, grades fourth to sixth.

Mary Anne's Makeover (Baby-Sitters Club: Collector's Edition)

Mary Anne's Makeover (Baby-Sitters Club: Collector's Edition)

By Ann M. Martin

This book was super good! Mary Anne has changed a lot since 7th grade, so when she sees a hairstyle in a magazine, she is excited to try it. But the other BSC girls like the way Mary Anne is now. But Mary Anne really likes the hairstyle, so she goes ahead and gets it. Everyone at Mary Anne's school loves the new hairstyle, all except the Babysitter's Club girls. Mary Anne is offended; how could her best friends not want the best for her? I thought this book was dramatic, fun to read, and inspiring. Mary Anne is a very relatable character. The reader can admire from Mary Anne's confidence but also learn a good lesson about talking through things with the people you care about and asking for advice. This story is all about growing up, friendship, babysitting, and trying new things. I suggest if you like friendship and babysitting.
