By Liz Braswell

bsc

In the beginning of the book, Queen Leah and King Stefan rule the land. Unfortunately, they have a crave for greed and all things fancy. With their forces, they stripped the land of its natural beauty. So when their daughter Aurora was born, the parents didn’t love her that much, three evil fairies gave the baby girl gifts, but the final cursed her to perish on her 16th birthday. Maleficent, a good fairy, was able to change this so Aurora would live on her 16th birthday. Aurora turns 16, and next thing you know, BOOM! Maleficent is back and has taken Aurora into her custody and thrown the queen and king into the dungeon. Maleficent and Aurora live a subtle and semi-boring life in the castle. That is, until Aurora finds out that this is all a dream, and that her parents are good and the fairies blessed her with good gifts. But the most shocking thing Aurora finds out is that Maleficent is bad and has been using the townsfolk to survive and keep power. Fleeing the castle, Aurora meets Prince Philip and the two of them wander outside of the castle searching for a way out of the horrid dream. Dodging Maleficent’s evil demons and traps, the two of them work hard to wake Aurora up. During the journey, both of the young heroes learn and discover things about themselves on this journey to defeat maleficent and wake Aurora up. Happy reading!

Call of the Wild and White Fang

Call of the Wild and White Fang

By Jack London

Warning! This review may contain spoilers. Call of the wild: A dog named Buck is kidnapped (or dognapped), and force to work as a sled dog. I didn't read White Fang. What I thought of it: Well, I don't like books about animals (I had to read this for homework). Mainly because the main animal character almost always gets mistreated and/or dies. Buck was definitely mistreated and I hated that. I absolutely can't stand animal cruelty or when animals die. When I'm reading a book and there's an animal and a human, I'd rather the human die than the animal. Buck, thankfully, didn't die. But everyone else did. Almost every single animal and human that appeared in the book died. I mean Curly got ripped apart 10 minutes into the book. I guess I get the purpose of it, but I still didn't like it. That was my main problem with this book. It was pretty well written, though. I liked how even though the dogs didn't talk, you still knew what they were thinking. I liked the way Buck grew as a character. In a lot of books, you just kind of suppose the main character changed over the course of the book, but it's not that obvious. In this book, it was obvious. There was a huge difference between Buck when he was first introduce and Buck when the book ended. He really changed a lot, yet he kept some of his character traits. I really liked that. Overall, I appreciated this book, but I didn't like it.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

By Mark Twain

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is my favorite book. Tom is a mischievous young boy who gets into all sorts of trouble. He has a big crush on a new girl named Becky Thatcher, and would do anything for her. He witnesses a grave robbery and murder with his friend Huck Finn. He even runs away with his friends and people assume he's dead. Tom can always talk himself out of a scrape, and can even get kids to take his punishments AND pay him! This is a wonderful book about a fun and daring childhood.
