Book Review by Abby
Freaky Friday by Mary Rodgers
This book is about a young girl who has had a really rough
life and she always dreamed of becoming her mother. One day her dream came true.
She is now her mother and her mother is now her. What will they do about school
and work? Will this turn out to be what she really wanted, or will it turn out
to be a disaster? The reason I said this book is almost good was because
of the fantasy of her wanting to become her mother, then she does become her
mother, and then it starts to be hilarious. The reason I didn’t put it all the
way to great is because I like suspenseful books.

Book Review by Brittany
The Series of Unfortunate events (the bad beginning)
The series of unfortunate events (the bad beginning) is a
good book. It is about three children who lost their parents in a fire! Then
they became the Baudelaire orphans.
They went with their temporary guardian Mr. Poe to there new home, to Count
Olaf’s house. He is an evil man who just wants the children for their huge
fortune their parents left behind for them when Violet (the oldest child) came
to age. Find out more about the Baudelaire adventures in the other 11 books
wrote by Lemony Snicket .They are amazing books so go to your library and cheek
some out. These books are mind blowing you’ll love them!!!!!
Book Review by Elijah
White Fang
White Fang is a great book written by Jack London. It’s the
story of a part-dog, part-wolf animal that is on its own in the wild. He wanders
into an Indian camp and is sold to a bad man named Beauty Smith. Beauty Smith
makes him fight other dogs and only gives him rotten scraps to eat. I like this
book because you don’t know what’s going to happen next and there are a lot of
dog fights. But one man comes and saves White Fang, and he is the best master
White Fang ever has.
Book Review by Ericka
My book is Meet Samantha. Meet Samantha is a very good
book. If you like Social Studies you will like the back of the book.
You will find it where it says In The Past. I’m not going to tell
you what it is about because you will find out when you read it.
I’m not going to tell you a little about it. Samantha’s best friend [Nellie]leaves
because she is to sick to work for the neighbors.She went back to
her father’s factory.But when Nellie is getting ready to leave,
Samantha brings her a big basket of food because she mentioned that
her family didn’t have a lot of food.Samantha is very sad when Nellie
was gone.
Book Review by Haley
Junie B. Jones books are awesome because they’re funny and
sometimes even crazy. The one I like the most is Junie B. Jones and the
Stupid Smelly Bus. She starts school and doesn’t want to ride the bus but
her mom makes her ride. She gets on and makes a friend, but she still
doesn’t want to because she is afraid of the meanies on the bus.She knows she
has to so she does.It’s a good book and theres many more to read in the
library.

Review by Janel
My book is called
Dogs. It is a very good book. I would recommend this book to anybody who
would like to read it. It talks about different breeds of dogs and what they are
best at. Some dogs are better as pets while others are better for work.
Sheepdogs get their name because they can be good at herding sheep. The tiny
Chihuahua to the huge Irish wolfhound are descended from the grey wolf whose
scientific name is Canis lupus. All dogs are neat in their own way.
Book Review by Luke
My name is Luke Poteet and the book I read is Lord of the Rings. In this
book a small fellowship was broken, but in the story the small groups try to
free the world of evil by destroying a powerful ring that can destroy the earth.
They fight to free the earth from destruction. I think you should read this book
it is exciting.

Book Review by Breanna
Tiger Eyes is about a fourteen or fifteen when her dad
dies, her name is Davey. Her father was robbed and shot while he was
working in his store. Her aunt and uncle come to stay for a while to go to the
funeral . Then they move to New Mexico with their aunt and uncle . The reason I
like this story is because it brings up suspense and if this really happened to
someone then it would be depressing and I feel like
I just want to
jump in the story and give her a hand . That’s why I like this story.

Book Review by Hannah
My book is called The Slippery Slope. The Slippery
Slope is a very good book. It is about a boy named Klaus and a girl named
Violet who are brother and sister who are trying to save their other sister
Sunny. Sunny was captured by an evil villain, Count Olaf. On the way they meet a
mysterious boy named Quiggle. They meet a lot of other people on the way from
the past. I gave it a five because it’s mysterious, adventurous, and so much fun
to read. I suggest that you read it!
Book Review by Jacob
If You Give A Moose A Muffin.
I really like this
book. It all started when a boy gives a moose a muffin. Then the moose wants
some jam to go with the muffin. Then he wants more & more until the muffins are
gone. Then the boy has to go get more muffin mix, and he wants to come with you.
He steps outside and its cold, so he wants a sweater. When he puts it on, he
finds that a button was missing. Then he wants some thread & needle. He sews the
button on and it reminds him of making sock puppets with his grandma.
Book Review by Jamie
Holes is a great book because there is this boy who
was walking home from school when a pair of shoes fell and then next thing he
knows was he was in cuffs and in the cop car.
He went to court
and he had a chouse to go to jail or camp green lake. He chouses camp green
lake. Camp green lake is a bad place because they say if you take a bad boy a
make him dig a whole 5 feet deep and wide it will turn him into a good boy .Will
it well why want you read it is a really good book you will love it. Holes is a
good I like it because it is a good way to help you learn why should not steal
that’s why.
