4/5
Stars
This
book is about a boy who has to help his friend out with his paper route. On his
paper route he meets nice people, mean people, and both mean and nice. One man
on his route is really nice and helps him to talk better.
I
thought that this was a great book because of how the boys starts up for
himself and doesn’t let anyone make him feel bad.
The Dark Unwinding
Sharon
Cameron
2/5 Stars
I
really didn’t like the main character, Katherine. I could tell when I wanted
her to die! What happens is she goes to her uncle to get him into an asylum. I
really didn’t like the book. I just wanted it to end. I wanted everyone to die
but one little boy. I really don’t recommend this book. The beginning was slow
and bad. Same with the rest.
Jabberwocky and Other Poems
Lewis
Carroll
3.5/5 Stars
This
is a book of different poems by Lewis Carroll. It is book of poems with many
different categories. My favorite poem is Brother
and Sister. It is about how siblings sometimes act. I liked almost all the
poems but a few were hard to read. I would recommend it to people who like to
read a book of poems.
Rule of Thoughts
James
Dashner
3/5 Stars
The
book I read is The Rule of Thoughts.
The main characters are Michael, Bryson, and Sarah. They have a good friendship
made after what they have been through. What happens is Michael and his friends
must stop Kaine before he destroys humanity.
I
liked the book. The only thing was the ending closed up so quickly I didn’t
know what was happening. I was left wondering what had just happened. But I
really liked the beginning and how it seemed like it couldn’t end. I would
recommend this book to a friend, if they have first read The Eye of Minds. If not, you would have been very confused and
missing important details.
Of Mice and Men
John
Steinbeck
3/5 Stars
The
book I read is Of Mice and Men. The
main characters are Lennie and George. Lennie and George have a complicated
relationship. What happens is they get a new job and go to work, something
happened and when it seemed nothing can stop them, something does.
I liked the book but
the ending is just, wow! I really wasn’t expecting it to happen. It really
changed what I thought about the book. I would recommend this book to people
who like twist endings.
The One and Only Ivan
Katherine
Applegate
5/5 Stars
Ivan
is a silver back gorilla who lives in a mall with a stray dog, Bob, and an
elderly elephant, Stella. Ivan has lived 27 years in the mall. When baby
elephant Ruby arrives she doesn’t know that she will be abused. She and Ivan
have a remarkable bond with each other and Ivan draws pictures to show her.
I
liked the book a lot! It is very funny and touching. It was funny when Bob, a
stray dog, lands in Ivan’s pool. It was scary when Ruby was abused though. She
shouldn’t be abused! I recommend this book because it is funny, touching, and
perfect for animal lovers.
Be
nice to elephants!
Stravaganza: City of Masks
Mary
Hoffman
4/5
Stars
The
book I read is Stravaganza: City of Masks.
The main character is Lucien. I liked him but I really didn’t like what
happened to “him” at the end. What happens is Lucien finds himself in Bellezza.
I like the book. What I liked is how it kept switching places. At some points
it got very confusing. I would recommend this book to people because of how
good it is and how you can’t put it down.
The Fixer

Lynn Barnes
4.5/5
Stars
The
main characters are Tess, Ivy and Vivvie. Vivvie is my favorite. Tess goes to
live with her older sister in D.C. and a lot of strange things happen.
I
love this book, it’s an amazing, fun book to read. I love the plot and how they
get it going. I really recommend this book. It’s amazing.

Riordan
5/5

action. I liked it.
