Silverwing

Silverwing

By Kenneth Oppel

Silverwing brought me through a flood of adventures! I truly couldn't put the book down! It is about Shade, the runt of his colony and is so small that he gets bullied for it. Then, one day, the colony goes on the yearly trip to go mate with the males and have babies. But, not two days have gone by and a storm approaches and the Shade is whisked away from his mother. He is very determined to go and find his colony before winter hits and reunite with his mom. Along the way, he meets friends, unexpected enemies, and unexpected allies helping him find his way. Does Shade have the strength in his tiny body to make it all the way? Will he find his colony in time? If so, are they at the destination already? This was truly a great read and I loved the leveled adventures and the moral of the story (I'll let you figure that out yourself!). I connected with the book because Shade and I are very small for age. I would recommend this book to 5th and 6th graders. The reason I gave this book a 5-star rating is because it was an action-packed book and the author gave great detail, as if you were apart of the entire book! What fascinates me the most is that the author chose bats as the main character, which is absolutely a great idea.

Wow, this book was intense! I felt like we needed a prequel to Silverwing, and this is amazing! I wish I read it before Silverwing!

Frozen Twisted Tale: Conceal, Don't Feel: A Twisted Tale

Frozen Twisted Tale: Conceal, Don't Feel: A Twisted Tale

By Jen Calonita

This is 100% my favorite Disney Twisted Tale. When I first saw the little subtitle, "What if Anna and Elsa never knew each other?" I was so curious to see how that would actually work given how close the sisters are in the original movie. Of course, I can't say that I like this plot better than the original, but this should really be turned into a movie. That would be soooo cool!

Greystone Secrets #1: The Strangers

Greystone Secrets #1: The Strangers

By Margaret Peterson Haddix

This book was incredibly entertaining to read and intense. It is about the 3 Greystone kids: Chess, Emma, and Finn. One day they came home from school and discovered there were three other kids with the same first, middle, last names and birthdays. Before they could ask their mom, Kate Greystone, about it she left on a spontaneous "business trip". They are left with Ms. Morales and her daughter, Natalie. They later find out that their mom will not be coming back and could be in danger. They go through her phone and computer that she oddly left at home and discover a coded letter. As they go through the code to find out what it is they are planning to bring their om back home. This leads to one crazy, action-packed adventure. All you have to do now is read the book to find out what happens in their adventure and if they get their mom back. I would give this book a five-star rating because I could really make a movie in my head. I would recommend this book to 5th through 6th graders.

Good Dog

Good Dog

By Dan Gemeinhart

I ended my 2017 reading year with this book. And I could not have lucked out with a better one. Brodie is a dog - a very good dog - who has died. Rather than let go and move on to Forever, Brodie chooses to return to our world to save Aidan, his boy, from danger. What entails is an adventure so unique that I couldn’t put this book down. Good Dog is BEAUTIFUL. An omniscient narrator tells the story, occasionally breaking from his POV to address the reader, which connected me to Brodie and Aidan more and more. The flashbacks Brodie experienced as memories of his past with Aidan came flooding back were vivid, sometimes excruciating, and always intentional in ways that kept me guessing. Gemeinhart’s use of imagery only added to that vividness. But the best part? Brodie’s VOICE. So singular, original, and pure, highlighting the bond between this dog and his boy. I fell in love with Brodie from the jump, laughing and crying as he worked to complete his quest. He is a character I will remember forever. This book is, in my opinion, one for the middle-grade ages, teaching kids that heroism is a choice that can come in any form.

This hilarious book is about a cat and a dog. But not just any normal house pets, Queenie (the cat) and Arthur (the dog) will do everything they can to keep there owner's hotel in business- despite their disliking of each other. But when there is a murder in the out in the surrounding mountains, and hint of a hidden treasure, Queenie and Arthur have to team up like never before in order to stop the treasure seekers that will do anything- even murder- to get their hands on gold. This book had me laughing every few minutes, and is a great read if you feel the need to laugh.
