Ada Twist, Scientist
By Andrea Beaty
This book is about Ada, a kid who likes to explore things. She even climbed up the clock when she was young because she was so curious. When she got older, she wrote all of her thoughts about smells and what was stinky on the wall. At school, she made bottles spray everywhere. Everyone liked this except the teacher. I think other people would like this book. I really like this book and would like to read it again some time. Kids who are scientists will like this book. I am a scientist. 😳 ☺️ 😜 😘
Weird But True Know-It-All: Greek Mythology
By Sarah Wassner Flynn
I love ancient Greek mythology. It is so cool! I can name the twelve Olympians. Zeus, Hera, Demeter, Apollo, Poseidon, Hermes, Aphrodite, Ares, Hephaestus,Athena, Artemis,and so on. I like Medusa, sirens, the three Gorgons, and other stuff. So if you like Greek mythology, read this! I love myths because they are so unusual. Did you know that Poseidon's girlfriend was Medusa? Did you know that Hera threw Hephaestus the off of Mount Olympus, the highest peak in Greece? Whoa! Athens was named after Athena. This stuff is cool! Hades is the god of the underworld. Nemesis is the minor god of revenge.

Kids Weird But True: 300 Outrageous Facts
By National Geographic Kids
Usually I would rate Nat Geo books 4 stars and above, but for this book I will rate it 3 stars because I was very disappointed in it. So the facts did not appeal to me, only one did. It was, in San Francisco, people call the fog, "Karl." The rest of the facts weren't really interesting. They were just talking about what people did. Like a man ate __ hot dogs in __ seconds. But I want to read about naturey stuff. Real stuff. That is what fascinates me. Not what people do. Because I don't care about records or stuff. I only like animals and historic event facts and etc. Sorry but I did not like this book as much as the other Weird But True books.
The Call of the Wild
By Jack London
I think this is the first classic book that I actually ENJOYED. I read the "kids" version for a book report in 3rd grade and really enjoyed it. The "full" version is even better. I liked how Jack London showed what BUCK thought at the moment since many other books hide the feelings of a dog. Overall, very fun to read. I'd recommend for Grades 5+
Little Kids First Big Book of Reptiles and Amphibians
By Catherine D. Hughes

Everything You Need to Ace Coding and Computer Science in One Big Fat Notebook
By Workman Publishing
I decided to read this book since I love to do coding,and I wanted to learn about computer science. That book taught me so much. The person tried to say things as clearly as possible so children could read it. I would recommend that book to middle schoolers who love coding or need some help with coding . I think everyone can learn from that book and it's not only that book there is a whole series of books with different topics, fron American History to Math.
Ripley's Believe It Or Not! Shatter Your Senses! (ANNUAL)
By Ripley's Believe It Or Not!
Did you know that at St. Paul, Alberta, Canada that there is a UFO landing pad to bring in Martians to this vicinity?? I apologize for not being on DOGO for the past year--yes I was MIA, but that does not mean I stopped reading (I blame the Martians--jkjk). Gosh I really missed DOGO <3 so much!!! Sorry for sounding too sappy, but yes, I have come to this wonderfully made website to express my feelings! WARNING: this will be a long review, sort of to make up for time I was gone... STORYTIME/REVIEW: In school, I have been reading very… um…. let us say classics, Shakespeare, and all that good stuff (I was being sarcastic, I do not want to read another romantic, yet tragic death of Romeo and Juliet… Sorry if you do like Shakespeare), but to be honest my head was so tired of reading something that sounded like a foreign language to me. So once I came back home from school, I saw a book… the color, the length, the width, the--YES, it was not a book from Shakespeare…. I had a “curiosity overload” as I walked closer and closer to it. I brought up the book and I saw the eyeball as it constantly dilated then contracted. Dilated. Contracted. Dilated. Contracted. I was fascinated, what was even this sorcery *Harry Potter lives in this book* (JKJKJK)? My imagination grew even wilder, filling with hopes and dreams. As time passed by, the moment that I waited for finally happened! My hand trembled to open up the book to explore the pages. BABAMMM!!! I felt an electric shock go through my fingertips, I was ecstatic! *YES, this is the exact feeling you will feel when you see the book for yourself!* So this huge book with 245 pages occupied my mind for hours as I devoured each page, as my brain was trying to retain all the information I was learning. Yes--this book--you actually learn and retain pieces of information because the colorful prints and pictures help you able to visualize it clearly, which later gets memorized (sort of like muscle memory). I am being very serious, for example, a couple days ago I read about a huge tumor, which induced Gurmeet Singh to undergo a surgery to remove this tumor (121 LBS!!!)... and somehow all of this information stayed with me; it even followed me to my dreams!! (IM SERIOUS) I am a person who dreams all the time, and I dreamed of being a surgeon actually performing the surgery on Singh to remove this malignant tumor (yes, all of this is true and happened in real life). I feel like even though all of these information are random, there are certain topics in which the book spreads out by (which is very helpful, if you want to read about certain topics). Anyways all of these information will be handy one day, I can definitely assure you. Also, when reading this book, it does not seem like you’re studying, but you technically are learning and studying (but it’s disguised because the book is really fun when reading through this). Like there’s so much information--and also there could be information that might be useful to you in general, or even for school! All these pieces of information with visuals are strategically placed, its like this book is a genius. But to be honest, just get the book for yourself!! This colorful, yet factual book is something that you do not want to miss out (especially if you have been reading Shakespeare)!! Also, just please read this book, this book needs all the love it can get due to its amazing information, it will definitely SHATTER YOUR SENSES!! I assure you that you will be 10 times smarter after reading this book! :) Enjoy!! ~~bibliophile
