Dracula

Dracula

By Bram Stoker

Dias

Bram Stoker’s Dracula is a classic novel horror based in the United Kingdom. I would recommend this story to people that enjoy horror stories. The beginning of this story entices the readers to read more. Not being a horror story fan I lost interest after the third chapter. This story is about the notorious Count Dracula, king of vampires, and Van Helsing the known Vampire hunter, and his group of comrades. For those that enjoy vampire stories this is one of the books you need to read, it introduces a new person that most vampire fans do not know about. You learn about Van Helsing and his understudy, Lucy western and Count Dracula.

Tom Gates: Absolutely Fantastic (at Some Things)

Tom Gates: Absolutely Fantastic (at Some Things)

By L Pichon

Tom Gates is a boy who hated his teachers, Mr. Fullerman in particular. This book don't really have a main plot, but most of the book is about Tom talking about how awesome the school trip will be. Marcus and Tom are like enemies, Tom hated Marcus and Macus hated Tom. Tom's sister is called Delia and she is being really mean to Tom. My favorite part of the book is when Tom doodles of Mr. Fullerman in class. The drawings are hilarious. I really like the book it is funny and the font of this book makes you think that you are reading someones journal. I recommend this series to people who liked the Diary of a Wimpy series. It is very similar to it.

Ways To Live Forever

Ways To Live Forever

By Sally Nicholls

I have recently read the book Ways to Live Forever by Sally Nicholls. The book is about an eleven year old boy named Sam McQueen and he has leukemia. He states on the first page that he will most likely die by the time the reader is finished with the book. He comes up with a list before that he wants wants to complete before he dies such as sledding, going to a proper school, learn about UFOs, horror movies , airships, and kissing a girl. Unfortunately he does not finish all the things on his list but he still had his hope. I thought this book was a very sad but intriguing book. I couldn't stop reading this book! I really wanted to know what Sam was going to do next, but in the end I had a fear tears when Felix died. Then on top of that the main character Sam died and that is when I said in my mind, nooooooooo! When Sam died on that hospital bed I thought I was actually there with him. He died peacefully in his sleep. It was like a movie in my mind! The author did a good job with the book, I thought this was a true story but surprisingly it wasn't. This book is realistic fiction because it was a story that could have really happened. This book I think is open to ages 10-and above. There was some use of strong language and the book was pretty sad. Most importantly the plot of the book was amazing. Sam also had some internal and external thoughts. He had to battle leukemia and its stages. This is an example of internal conflict because he is battle something with himself. There was also an external conflict when Felix died and Sam was very sad and was going through a lot. This book was a great book and I would recommend this book to anyone out there who wants to read about realistic fiction that is a little sad at the end.

Misty of Chincoteague (Korea Edition)

Misty of Chincoteague (Korea Edition)

By Marguerite Henry

Marguerite Henry writes wonderful books about horses, and this one is by far my favorite. It is about a brother and sister named Paul and Maureen who have their hearts set on buying the horse that everyone calls Phantom. They want to buy her at the annual Pony Penning Day. For years no one has been able to catch her because she always slips out of their grasp and is believed to be a "Phantom". But this year Paul is finally old enough to go over to Chincoteague island and round up the horses with all the other men. The stakes aren't exactly fair for the Phantom though, because she has a colt! Paul and Maureen have saved enough money for the Phantom, but they hadn't realized they would have to buy the colt too. This is a great story that shows you that not everything is meant to be in captivity, some things are just wild.

Gulliver's Travels: Large Print

Gulliver's Travels: Large Print

By Jonathan Swift

Luke Cummins

Have you sailed around the world? How about stepped somewhere no one else has. Ok, you've most likely touched a place no one else has, just by walking in the woods. But have you experienced being among strange animals and people not known to our existence? Probably not, unless you've seen aliens on Mars. The book “Gulliver's Travels” by an Englishman of the name Jonathan Swift was first published in 1726. Swift died in 1745, never realizing his work would be so influential and widely spread throughout the world. Overall I thought this was an amazing and fascinating tale. I would rate this book a four out of five stars. The only reason it is not five out of five stars is because the wording is at times confusing. The genre of these fascinating tales are fantasy. In my summary you won't have to worry about me giving away the ending as there is no actual ending but a series of four travels. The first account occurs when Gulliver gets shipwrecked alone and washes upon the shores of Lilliput. An army of Lilliputans who are around six inches tall, quickly tie him to the ground. I would keep explaining the hostilities thrown upon Gulliver's but I don't want to overwhelm the reader with details. Gulliver's gets taken to the emperor who quickly bonds with Gulliver. The name of the emperor is unknown. Gulliver spends almost a year on Liliput and he has many friends but he has also made serious enemies. After the rumor of blinding Gulliver and starving him was passed on to the Emperor, he almost immediately told Gulliver. Gulliver made a ship and sailed away. Gulliver's second adventure brings him to a land ruled by giants. Gulliver is initially found by farmers but later sold to the king. Gulliver is in danger almost everywhere he goes. One day while in his box an eagle picks Gulliver's box up and drops it with him in it into the ocean while being attacked by other Eagles. He is later found by a normal sized ship. The captain takes care of him but thinks Gulliver is crooked because some princes put men in a home in the water that slowly sinks. Gulliver's third travel takes place on a flying island with the most peculiar of people, who are so busy thinking they have servants who touch their mouths, eyes, and nose so they listen when spoken to, talk, and look where they're going. Because of this, Gulliver soon leaves the island and is brought upon a professor who talks about what government is like on their country. The fourth journey is a surprise that you'll only know if you read the book. This book also has a movie for those of you who are too lazy to read this book. I would suggest this book to boys and girls in seventh grade and up, no one lower unless this is explained to you and you understand what's happening. I also suggest this book to people who like government, or stories set in the past, also if you like to read about travelers. Again I rate this book a four out of five stars because of the fascinating tales told. I only took of a star because the wording can be confusing.
