The Titan's Curse (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 3)

The Titan's Curse (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 3)

By Rick Riordan

Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, and Thalia Grace, daughter of Zeus, are sent to find two extremely powerful half-bloods in a military school. While trying to escort them to Camp Half-Blood, a manticore appears and ruins their plans. The iconic Hunters of Artemis come to their rescue, and the older of the two half-bloods, Bianca, decides to join them. While Kronos' army starts to build, a new prophecy arises. One that stated that the moon goddess, Artemis, is in danger, both campers and Hunters must unite. I feel that this, out of all five books, was the best. It stands out on its own. It really has depth to it, and I almost cried once or twice. But Percy, Annabeth, and Thalia have to get through it, otherwise the planet will be destroyed. New characters rise and fall, and the whole book is one big roller-coaster ride. This fantasy-mystery book will keep everyone hooked, even the mysterious General.

Talons of Power (Wings of Fire, Book 9)

Talons of Power (Wings of Fire, Book 9)

By Tui T. Sutherland

I thoroughly enjoyed the reading experience of Talons of Power, never finding myself uninterested. That being said, I think this is definitely the weakest book in the second arc and most of the book can be classified as filler. 3 stars. Before I get into my issues, let me preface this by saying I adore the Wings of Fire books and consider this one of my all time favorite middle grade series. My critiques of this book do not change that, and 3 stars is a positive rating for me. Other than the last 20 pages or so, this book is the same thing happening over and over again. Turtle follows Darkstalker, waiting for him to do something evil, Darkstalker doesn’t. Repeat for 200 pages. Turtle is a very…passive character. He spends nearly the entire book “invisible” and just hanging out observing everyone else. He rarely takes matters into his own hands, which I recognize is part of his character but it makes him so much less interesting compared to the other main characters like Moon or Peril. Turtle is so infrequently involved in the story that he didn’t even feel like the main character. Most of this book is slow and repetitive. A lot of the plot serves to bridge the gap to the series finale. Though I was let down by this penultimate novel, I still enjoyed reading it. I love this series and world. The characters of this arc are extremely endearing. I’ve been reading Tui’s writing since I was very young, so I’m always happy to jump into her stories. I’m still super hyped for the finale. There are so many ways this could go, and I can’t wait to see. Not to mention I think Qibli is the main character of the final book, and he is one of my favorites!

The Mysterious Benedict Society

The Mysterious Benedict Society

By Trenton Lee Stewart

This book is SO AMAZING! The plot pulled me in to this fast-paced adventure! Reynie Muldoon, an orphan, sees an ad in a newspaper that says, "Are you a gifted child looking for special opportunities?" Reynie passes 3 important tests that qualifies him for a special opportunity as described to him. But who would have thought that this "special opportunity" would be a incredibly important spy mission? Reynie and the other 3 kids who passed the tests, Sticky Washington, Kate Wetherall, and Constance Contraire, are instructed by Mr. Benedict to go to the LIVE Institute run by the evil mastermind Ledroptha Curtain. Mr. Curtain has this institution to use the children attending in his plan. He wants to rule the world, as most villains you know do, but the way he wants to do it is by controlling people with the telepathy. He takes the students in his school to whisper messages that broadcast into other people's minds. He is working towards the Improvement, as he calls it, which will erase people's memories! I know, right? Who would have thought? It's up to the Mysterious Benedict Society to foil Mr. Curtain's plan. Can they do it? I really loved this book, 5/5 stars! I encourage adventure-loving people to read this book!

Dr Seuss is fantastic. He always uses rhyme and repetition! When you read it out loud, it has rhythm too. His books are so fun and interesting to read.

Macbeth (Shakespeare Graphics)

I think it is really cool that they can put the famous William Shakespeare play and turn it into a more modern graphic novel.

The Little Prince 70th Anniversary Gift Set (Book/CD/Downloadable Audio)

The Little Prince 70th Anniversary Gift Set (Book/CD/Downloadable Audio)

By Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

I have a simple review and context questions for each chapter adapted from a high school English class. The book allows for literary analysis, discussion of inference, growth of vocabulary, emotional inference practice, and creative writing. Depending on grade level can take 4-6 weeks to progress through. If you're looking for a sustained project practicing reading comprehension and writing, I highly suggest this book.

Phoebe and Her Unicorn

Phoebe and Her Unicorn

By Dana Simpson

Fourth grader girl Phoebe one day when she was at the pond, trying the skipping rocks until she had accidentally hit the magical unicorn by the rock. The unicorn said it's fine because tshe has a tendency to become awestruck by her own appearance by the relection of her. The unicorn's name was Marigold Heavenly Nostrils. Throughout the story, you would often see Phoebe with her unicorn friend during summer, schools years, etc. This is a graphic book so I recommend this book series if you like fantasy and graphic books. - Happy Reading!
