Bad Luck (The Bad Books)

Bad Luck (The Bad Books)

By Pseudonymous Bosch

Como C. Llama is the best! We loved this series!!!! 6 year old only wanted to review this series. 8 year old started collecting llamas because of Como, a beloved character. 11 year old and Mom all loved this series, many laughs were had, a bit of nail biting, but mostly just adventure and mystery and we didn't want it to end. My, now 9 year old has written reports on this series, because it was truly a joy to read.

Title : The Spiderwick Chronicles Author: tony Diterlizzi & holly black Genre: fantasy and fiction I chose 3 for my rating because it's just right. I didn't learn anything from the book.

Dragon Ball Super, Vol. 9 (9)

Dragon Ball Super, Vol. 9 (9)

By Akira Toriyama

I think this was the best book in the whole series because I feel Toriyama and Toyotarou Put a lot of work into this book and made it where it does not show just the end of the tournament of power but the beginning of the galactic prisoner arc in further books about dragon ball

Nimona

Nimona

By Noelle Stevenson

I think that Nimona by Noelle Stevenson should get a ⅘. This is because I think that the ending could be better. Nimona gets mad at Blackheart because she thinks he chooses to be a hero over saving her life, (which isn't true), which makes her upset, so she runs away. Later, they see each other in a crowd, and Nimona just waves, and then disappears into the crowd, and they never see each other again. This makes me annoyed because I think that they could’ve lived together and maybe Blackheard could adopt her, two lonely souls living together you know? But of course that didn’t happen. Instead, Nimona says a brief goodbye and the story ends! Crazy! But, overall, I think that this book is amazing and super unique. I think that this book is a wonderful read for 4th grade to 6th grade. WARNING: This book has some swears, (Not the worst ones though. Just a couple of minor ones.). I recommend reading this book, so just go to your local library, and get this book now!!!

Crenshaw

Crenshaw

By Katherine Applegate

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have an imaginary friend? When this friend tries to help you conquer the problems you have at home. When you don’t have food or enough money for paying the bills at home? Well this boy named, Jackson with his family they can’t live in the minivan again. They have to find a way how to try to pay the bills and get more food. This is when Jackson’s friend comes, Crenshaw. “Crenshaw is a cat. He's large, he's outspoken, and he's imaginary. He has come back into Jackson's life to help him. But is an imaginary friend enough to save this family from losing everything?” “In her first novel since winning the Newbery award, Katherine Applegate delivers an unforgettable and magical story about family, friendship, and resilience.” Katherine Applegate is fiction writer for kids. She is best known as the author of the Animorphs, Remnants, Everworld, and other book series. She has won the Newbery Award in 2012 for the book The One And Only Ivan. She is a successful author for children. Applegate's most popular books are science fiction, fantasy, and adventure novels. “She won the Best New Children's Book Series Award in 1997 in Publishers Weekly. Her book Home of the Brave has won two awards. She has recently written an early chapters series called Roscoe Riley Rules.” This book is a fantastic book with all the challenges Jackson family goes through. I would recommend this book to people who likes adventure or fantasy. This book teaches us that most people actually go through the things that Jackson goes through in his lifetime with his little sister, Robin and his parents, Tom and Sarah. This story also shows us to never let go any of the friends that you've taken away from your life.

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!

Icebreaker (The Icebreaker Trilogy)

Icebreaker (The Icebreaker Trilogy)

By Lian Tanner

I chose a three out of five rating because the book took a very long time to have only a little bit of action. But, once you got like three fourths of the way through, it picked up and was hard to put down. I also gave it that rating because I had a hard time focusing on the book when I was reading it. This book was pretty interesting, though. I’d never thought of some people as anti-machinists, and I don't understand how that would ever happen to people in the future. Lastly, I would recommend it to anyone from the age of ten through thirteen. So, basically fourth grader’s through seventh graders.
