Dork Diaries 1: Tales from a Not-So-Fabulous Life

Dork Diaries 1: Tales from a Not-So-Fabulous Life

By Rachel Renée Russell

Personally, i think this book is pretty good. im in the 5th grade, and ive been reading since 2nd grade. (thanks to my older sister) alot of people dont like how the protagonist, Nicki talks alot about boys and crushes and romantic teenager problems. But personally i think its just sort of realistic, Nicki is not in the 4th grade, shes a teen. This book isnt technically about a fun adventure with no worrys or stress, its realistic "slice of life" book. it speaks about growing pains and i think its interesting since i like books with drama and realistic ideals, usually. even in manga i like it when for example, attack on titan isnt all just about the titans but also shows the characters personalities and personal goals and stuff like that, friendships being broken and stuff that hurts the reader because of how realistic it is, but also has fiction like titans. Back to dork diaries, this is one of the only non-manga books i like, i will say Nicki can get a bit whiny and makes it a bit less enjoyable but overall i really like the idea and plot of this book, no its not a Diary of the Wimpy Kid "rip-off", its different in its own way because its more grown-up and usually girls struggle alot more with growing up so its natural Dork Diaries feels grown. I love this book! It can be very stereotypical tho, just because Nicki is a new "nerdy girl" who gets picked on, and on top of that her enemy is Mackenzie Hollister, the most popular girl in school. I like how much the book has so many twist and turns.

Henry Huggins (Spanish edition)

By Beverly Cleary

This book was a lot of reading but it was worth it because you could learn a lot from it. In this book Henry is a kid that wants a pet but does not have enough money, when he was getting on the bus back from the YMCA he saw a very skinny dog sitting next to him he loved so much he wanted to bring it home. After that he called his parents and told them they said he could keep it. So he went in to a shop and asked for the biggest box they had. So they gave it to him. Then he put the in the box. Then he said "I am going to call you Ribsy because you are so skinny." He had to wait three busses to get home. And his family loved it. The end

Earlier, Margalo had flied into the house Stuart Little was living in, when Stuart had bronchitis. Since then, he had made best friends with Margalo. He decided to head north to look for Margalo.

Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made

Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made

By Stephan Pastis

Timmy Failure is a detective. He runs Total Failure, Inc. with his pet polar bear. He takes all sorts of cases, and charges 5 cents a day, hoping that it will all add up one day so he can become rich – he already has his eye on a place in town. He uses his mom’s segway to get from case to case, but one day that segway gets stolen by the Evil One: Corrina Corrina. Timmy hates her; she also runs a Detective Agency that is sort of competition, and since her dad has a lot of money, her Agency has its’ home in a fancy building. So Timmy is off to find the segway, ALL while keeping it a secret from his mom. In a comical, humorous story, Pastis kicks off Timmy’s adventures in a lovable book. What I thought about it: I loved Timmy Failure. It was a great story in the format of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, but it was completely different and original. I was very happy that it was not just the “he has problems at school, and he isn’t a lucky person” type of illustration and novel. Stephan Pastis brought a new idea, and school is not the main focus, it’s Timmy’s Detective Agency. Timmy thinks he is the best detective in the world, even though his agency’s space is his mom’s closet. All of the characters were very unique, and thinking about a kid having a pet polar bear is quite out of this world, but yet it works in this book! I think Timmy is in his own little world – it’s him and his detective agency against the Evil One. Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It made me laugh out loud – it was clever and funny at the same time. I can’t wait to read the next book. Thumbs up for Timmy Failure!

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!
