Crystal and Gem (Eyewitness books)

By R.F. Symes

I love this book. but it's not one of my favorites. It does teach you about the types of gems and what they are. It also gives you facts about them. Oh and my favorite page is 56 and 57 that show you a 83 million dollar painting, that has diamonds and other expensive gems. My favorite gem is a turquoise, it tells you about it on pages 50 and 51.

Bathroom Science: 70 Fun and Wacky Science Experiments

Bathroom Science: 70 Fun and Wacky Science Experiments

By Christine Taylor-Butler

This book is a lot of fun! My 7 year old brother and I had a good time picking out and doing the experiments. You can do many interesting things like make toilet volcanoes or even screaming balloons! Some of these experiments take only minutes, while others take longer. Be prepared to clean up though :) The great thing about these experiments is that all of the supplies needed can be found around the house. I think that this book would make a great gift. I believe that this book was geared towards 7-10 year olds, although some of the experiments require adult help. The book itself is well written for its purpose as it is easy to understand and follow along with the instructions. This book will provide hours of excitement. Overall I would rate this book a 4/5 only because I feel that some of the experiments were fillers, but the majority of them were thorough.

Squirm

By Carl Hiaasen

“This Summer, Billy dickens will fly across the country, hike a mountain, float a river, dodge a grizzly bear, shoot down a spy drone, save a neighbour’s cat, save an endangered panther, and then try to save his own father.” As soon as I saw these words I knew this was the book for me. And I was right! I love Carl Hiaasen’s books, he is such a creative writer and I loved Billy, his sister Belinda, and his mom who was this weird obsession was eagles, and his dad who has this super dangerous catching poachers job and Little Thunder-sky, “Lil” for short, and lastly, my favourite, Summer. She’s Lil’s daughter and also Billy’s father’s daughter. You should definetely read this book!

Tornado Terror (I Survived True Stories #3): True Tornado Survival Stories and Amazing Facts from History and Today

Tornado Terror (I Survived True Stories #3): True Tornado Survival Stories and Amazing Facts from History and Today

By Lauren Tarshis

Lauren Tarshis has written many thrilling books, the most famous being her historical fiction series, I Survived. These past few years I have enjoyed reading Lauren's works, and the way she was able to portray the main character in these national disasters. So I was very excited when I got my hands on a copy of this book, Tornado Terror. I was interested to see how Lauren would tie a story and facts together. This is a nonfiction book, but Lauren had just the right combination of pure facts and narrative that would enthrall any reader. Inside book, both tornadoes featured, the Tri-State Tornado of 1925 and the Joplin Tornado of 2011 have a short story of a young person-just as she writes in the fiction series. The interesting thing about these stories, is that they are actually based on a real person and that person's experiences. It isn't a complete work of fiction narrative. But there was more than just stories. There were many pictures, and tidbits about "normal" life during that time period. There were also specific facts about both tornadoes, and tornadoes in general. I also enjoyed reading about what storm chasers are, and famous tornado scientists. I recommend this book for elementary and middle school, but it would also interest some younger highschoolers. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.
