Love That Dog
By Sharon Creech
I don't even like poetry which is how this book is written but it was so great to read. It is written all as letters to the author Walter Dean Meyers so it's basically like a homework assignment that any kid could have! But it is so good and sweet I love this book.
Wink
By Rob Harrell
This book starts off strangely: a giant radioactive cancer-treating thing is aimed at Ross Maloy. It is then found out through flashbacks that he has a rare type of life-threatening cancer known as a mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the lacrimal gland, which is quite hard to spell. When school starts, however, Ross finds that, alas, everyone is painfully aware of his eye cancer, and he has to wear a hat too. A cowboy one. On Halloween, Ross finds that memes have been made. He is now known as "Cancer Cowboy". Yet to come is even worse news: Ross's best friend since 1st grade, Abby, is moving to Missouri and Ross's friend Issac is nowhere to be found. How shall Ross cope with this strange turn of events? Wink was really a book with lots of interesting characters, for example, Jimmy, the bully who is just misunderstood, and who becomes sort of Ross's friend at the end. Furthermore, it was really interesting to see how Ross coped with the challenges brought on by cancer and everything else. However, I did not like the author's use of incomplete sentences that are similar to, "Someone does something, ... Then sits down." But overall, it was a really interesting story about school and had nice drawings of Batpig and elephants and evil nachos and just a great book for people who like funny realistic fiction.
Ranger’s Apprentice: The Lost Stories
By John Flanagan
THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES! I cannot show how much enthusiasm I have for this book and all the other Ranger's Apprentice! Book 10 and 11 are really good, but the ending (at least, near end) of Book 11 is so sad!!! I downed the last half of the book last night, waiting impatiently for the Book 12 to arrive at my door. I finished crying, laughing, ripping out the carpet and wanting more. The humor is unfailing, as usual! John Flanagan is an excellent writer and I'm still unsure, as an 8th Grader, why the reading level is 3-6! It should be higher, as I still have to look up some words that he uses! I'll have to die before tomorrow when Book 12 arrives, because I simply can't spend another night staring at the wall and crying that I'm not sitting with a drink and a Ranger's Apprentice in my hand!!! I NEED BOOK 12 NOW! A Tolkien worthy piece!! (Well, that's a little too much credit. A NEAR Tolkien worthy piece!)
Supernova (Amulet #8)
By Kazu Kibuishi
Title: Amulet Supernova Author: Kazu Kabuishi Genre: Shi-fi/Fantasy I would give this a 3/5 because they always end with a cliff hanger which I personally get angry about, whoever I do like how Emily takes off the elf kings mask! What's interesting to me is the fact that she has a kid. I wonder who his dad is or if she adopted him? I would recommend this book for 4th grade to 6th grade because when your in 6th grade it might be too easy for you. If you're in 3rd grade you may get scared of the events in this novel like when the elf kind has no mask on.
The Last Council (Amulet #4)
By Kazu Kibuishi
this book was about when the crew finally finds the hidden place celis and there happy but.... there is something wrong everything is so quited it never was everyone is disapearing. but why.... there is a serect that is hiding from the crew and they found out and they save the island and the people and the stonekeepers
Prince of the Elves (Amulet #5)
By Kazu Kibuishi
In this book their were a lot of fun things and I am going to say those things. First thing is the protagonist and the antagonist, the protagonists were Emily her brother and her mother. And the antagonists are Max the elves and the mountain giant. In this book my favorite part was the epic battle, every single book in this series was just building up the awesomeness until this battle then it unleashed all that awesomeness all at once. When the battle started I was into the book so much that I felt like I was their battling with them. I recommend this book to 3rd graders, 4th graders, and 5th graders.

kingy

Firelight (Amulet #7)
By Kazu Kibuishi
Title: Amulet Firelight Author: Kazu Kabuishi Genre: Sci fi I would give this a 3/5 rating because in my opinion how they switch from situation to situation can be annoying for me. Whoever some of the parts are good for example when Emily turns into a bird, that's cool! Secondly this book has some interesting parts like when the shadows control the fish and they pierce through the glass. I would recommend this book for 3rd+ because if a 2nd grader read this they might not understand it or think it's real.
The Stonekeeper's Curse (Amulet, Book 2)
By Kazu Kibuishi
Emily has to go to kanalis to try to find medicine for their mom . navin can not come and gets pretty mad. Emily ends up having to do more than just find medicine . Like leave now to control the stone. And when she gets to the trees to find the special fruit , she doesn't know which one to pick! One could do something bad and one could do something good. Does everything turn out ok? You'll have to read the book to find out what happens! I recommend this book to all ages and I rate this book 4/5 stars I thought it was a pretty good book! - Pizzagirl7 💋
