Spirit Animals: Book 1: Wild Born

Spirit Animals: Book 1: Wild Born

By Brandon Mull

Conor, Abeke, Meilin, and Rollan have lived pretty normal lives. They are from the four different regions of Erdas, but nothing strange and amazing has ever happened to them. Until now. All four of them summon spirit animals-lifelong animal partners that make you stronger, and is extremely rare. not only that; their spirit animals are all Great Beasts—the most powerful kind of spirit animals that exist. They are the Four Fallen-the ones that died in the great battle against the Devourer. They have risen-but so has the Devourer. The four young kids are recruited by the Greencloaks to help fight evil, and defend the four corners of Erdas. They must come together and try to somehow stop the battles going on and the Devourer-before it is too late. In an enjoyable first book, The Spirit Animals series starts of with a mission to get the talismans before the enemy does. What I thought about this book: I thought this book was an exciting start to the series. It was enjoyable, and the world, characters, and plot that are created make for a great story. Brandon Mull’s writing was great, and the concept of this book was very unique and cool. I want a spirit animal! This book was slow at times, but the ending made up for all of it. The ending was breathtaking and sad, but it was the perfect ending. After I read it, I definitely wanted to continue the series. I can’t wait to read more Brandon Mull and Spirit Animals!

A Small Zombie Problem (Zombie Problems)

A Small Zombie Problem (Zombie Problems)

By K.G. Campbell

In this imaginative tale set in a world resplendent with French food, swamps, and alligators, August DuPont endeavors to become a part of society. Up till now, he has been admonished by Aunt Hydrangea to stay inside, lest he be attacked by butterflies. But never could he have imagined that he would be introduced to three humans, all of his own age, while attempting to get Mud Pies. Never could he have thought that, on the next day, he would be introduced to another human, his aunt Orchid Malveu, who instructs him to find a valuable family heirloom. It is still surprising, though, when he discovers that he has summoned a zombie named Claudette from the grave. As August tries to befriend his rich cousins, all while keeping his zombie hidden, he discovers the history of the DuPont and Malveu families: specifically, their bitter rivalry over stolen hot sauce recipes, and he finds out the existence of an ancestor who practiced necromancy using the Zombie Stone, the expensive family heirloom Orchid wishes to locate. What I liked about this book about problems with zombies was its world-building. The imaginative setting where the story takes place, namely, Pepperville, a small town near the Croissant City, situated in a place reminiscent of Louisiana, is very interesting and causes the book to have a whimsical atmosphere. The zombie, Claudette, was amusing. Also, overall, the book was really funny and had good illustrations. The writing was okay: neither good nor bad, and there were too many semicolons in my opinion. But this is an engaging book to read for fun, and it has humor in it, though not much action

Dewey: There's a Cat in the Library!

Dewey: There's a Cat in the Library!

By Vicki Myron, Bret Witter

What I like about this book is that Dewey is a cat that gets found and he is not clean and this girl found him in a box of books. My favorite part is how much he likes kids and his family and the library. I also love how he plays like a normal cat but is very nice. So that is why I give five stars.

The Incredible Journey

The Incredible Journey

By Sheila Burnford

Luath, Tao, and Bodger are three house pets, a Labrador retriever, a Siamese cat, and a bull terrier. They want to be with their family, the Hunters, but they are on a trip to England. Meanwhile, their friend, John Longridge, is taking care of them. One day, Longridge goes to Heron Lake, over two hundred miles away. Luath, the Labrador retriever, decides to journey to the Hunters' house, and the other two follow him. The way there is across miles of remote wilderness, and on the way, they encounter many dangers. Will they reach their destination? Or will they get eaten by wild animals? I liked this book, but the beginning was a bit boring. I recommend it to anyone who likes books about animals.

Illuminae

Illuminae

By Amie Kaufman, Jay Kristoff

I think the first interview was intriguing, but the next 100 pages or so were not that interesting, yet. (Pay a little attention to the word "yet".) Then, once the attacks begin, it reeeeaaaaalllllyyyyy picks up the pace. By that point, it was one of the most exciting books I have ever read, with breathless action and it feels like you can't take your eyes off. If you are willing to get there, then I would definitely recommend this.

Hoot

Hoot

By Carl Hiaasen

Hoot Is a great book with lots of adventure. I'd have to admit is is a little hard to follow because it is two stories in one book. This book makes you laugh, get mad, and just be scared for the characters. Hoot is a story that will make your day. The chapters are quite long so this is not a book for beginner readers. One of the stories is about two nemisises, Roy and Dana. Roy get Dana arrested. Mullet fingers is Roy's other friend who turns out to be Roys worst enemies step brother. ( Worst enemy = Beatrice). This is an amazing book and I recommend it to all readers who like a mystery with some rebellion mixed in.

Son (Giver Quartet)

Son (Giver Quartet)

By Lois Lowry

What happened afterwards? After Jonas took Gabriel to elsewhere? I had always been a fan of the The Giver quartet. As I was reading this book, I felt like being a part of it since everything came along together smoothly and everything in the book seemed so familiar. If you had read The Giver, I recommend you to finish up this book as well! The reason why will simply be while recalling the exhilarating stories of The Giver, new adventures await. Since Son was written in a totally different point of view, you’ll find out exploring what was happening on the other hand very interesting. Well, not just the story itself, but also the lessons and things I had learnt from it, were all reasons this book is recommended by me. You’ll find out everything has a dark side no matter how perfect it seems. Enjoy the adventure of Claire, Gabriel’s mother, and let your soul be cleansed by her spirit!

Night of the Living Dummy (Goosebumps S.)

By R. L. Stine

The night of the living dummy by R.L.Stine it is about one dummy and 2 girls. And if you like fun but scary books you might like this one. It is mainly about a dummy that turns into a living dummy. Also If you like the book a lot there are 2 more books in the series. I definitely recommend The night of the living dummy.
