Splatoon, Vol. 8 (8)

Splatoon, Vol. 8 (8)

By Sankichi Hinodeya

The Octo Arc continues as Seven, Eight, and their friends battle DJ Octavio. After that, when they go camping and do you know who joins in? Army, cooking irresistible curry!! YUM!! It smells so great that, when Team Blue and Team Eight verse each other in a turf war, team Eight gets distracted! But they know they can up their game in a cinch. Later on in this fantastical bok, it is time for an extra amazing turf war!! Where you where costumes at Wahoo World! Unfortunately this is the most embarrassing place to Rider to be spotted. After bickering with. Aloha for a bit, he decides to join the Team Costume Lover. And lastly, there is Splatfest. Team Blue is going against each other. On team Straight man, there's Skull, Prinz, Specs, and Headphones. On team Funny Man there is Goggles, Bobble Hat, Gloves, and Eight. Who will win, who will lose? Find out in Splatoon volume eight, and continue to read this series! Sankichi Hinodeya needs to write more about the Splatoon characters. And continue on about the adventures of Sheldon and Goggles. But I must say, while book eleven had a cliffhanger, book twelve was a bit of a disappointment. It left us in suspension and honestly, he might not finish this series. But overall, Splatoon is a good graphic novel series for kids who refuse to read chapter books. This is an amazing, sparkling series about friendship and never giving up.

BONE #4: Dragonslayer

BONE #4: Dragonslayer

By Jeff Smith

This book is my favorite of the series. In this book Phony bone gets greedy and tells the townspeople he will be there dragonslayer if they pay him which is a horrible idea because the dragons are harmless.

The Original Adventures #1 (Hank the Cowdog)

The Original Adventures #1 (Hank the Cowdog)

By John R. Erickson

I love Hank the Cow Dog. He's not so bright, but he means well. He takes his job seriously and bumbles around and saves the day. Read it with a hick accent - which isn't hard for me to do. Hank is my hero.

Tomorrow, When the War Began (The  Tomorrow Series)

Tomorrow, When the War Began (The Tomorrow Series)

By John Marsden

Tomorrow when the war began Have you ever come back to a place where everything has gone horribly wrong? Seven teenagers go out camping to a place named hell (aka Tailor’s Stitch) and come back too see their houses destroyed, their pets sick and families gone. Tomorrow when the war began is a sad, adventurous, frightening, and romantic. A small town in Victoria, Australia going into war after seven teenagers Ellie, Lee, Homer, Fiona (Fi), Robyn, Kevin and Corrie go camping. Ellie as the narrator tells her views of perspective and describes the characters/friends. Lee takkam is a very active and strong person and he finds himself in a relationship with Ellie. Corrie Mackenzie is Ellie’s best friend and suggested to go camping first, she is very optimistic about them coming home safely. Kevin Holmes shows himself as a tough guy and tries to be the hero in tough situations. Robyn Mathers is the leader of one of the groups with Corrie, Chris and Kevin. Chris Lang comes later in the book and is Ellie’s cousin he decides to join the group after his parents are in Ireland. Lastly Homer is known as a bad boy by the group he tries to take over the group and knows what to do in a troubled situation. My personal opinion about the book is that there were some chapter that I wasn’t interested in and I thought were a bit boring and then there were the drama and romance that drew my attention. I’d recommend the book to people, as it is very exciting. People who like books like the Hunger Games must read this because it is very similar. The romance, the adventure and the genres are all a like. The Genres of this book is adventure fiction, romance fiction, utopian and dystopian fiction and young adult fiction. The small Wirrawee town becomes invaded by an army of soldiers and becomes mayhem (utopian and dystopian fiction). The seven teenagers find love in a camping site named hell, as they are all alone (Young adult and romance fiction). As they come back and try to plan attacks and blow-ups near the soldiers (adventure fiction). John Marsden put the main character (Ellie) as the narrator because the story wouldn’t be the same if it were he. The story runs on Ellie’s thoughts and opinions. Which makes the book much better. Author: John Marsden Rating: 2.5/5

Warriors: The Broken Code #3: Veil of Shadows

Warriors: The Broken Code #3: Veil of Shadows

By Erin Hunter

Warriors. It used to be my favorite series, but now I have a bit of a weird relationship with it. I remember reading the first series and falling in love, and then finishing it and remaining in love. Upon rereading the series, however, once I got to the New Prophecy I thought, "Wait. I actually LIKED this garbage? Where's the adventure? The drama? The magic and intrigue of the first arc?" Well, let me tell you where that went. Out the window! (or, should I say, cat flap.) Well, folks, after some bumps in the road (or mountains- just like in the HUNDREDS of chapters we get of characters walking through them) the original charm of Warriors is back! The false Bramblestar has been acting odder than ever, forcing the other Clans to exile their so-called "codebreakers." This is leading to more and more cats are joining the rebellion, and more and more believing the Bramblestar leading Thunderclan is an impostor- especially since Rootspring was able to summon the real Bramblestar's ghost at the medicine cat's half-moon meeting. Bristlefrost is acting as a spy for the rebellion- pretending to be loyal to the impostor and doing whatever he tells her to do, no matter how tyrannical it may seem. However, cats who once believed her are turning their backs on her after Bristlefrost is made deputy- a decision that may lead to even more unnecessary deaths. And Shadowsight? He's missing- and the false Bramblestar may be behind it. I was intrigued throughout the entirety of Veil of Shadows. However, I'm only giving it 4 stars because the book's title seemed too similar to A Vision of Shadows, the previous Warriors arc, and Bristlefrost and Rootspring's relationship was, to be frank, terrible. (Forbidden romance? When have we seen THAT before?) Overall, pretty good, especially compared to its previous installments. Would recommend for any Warriors fans!

The Complete Moon Base Alpha: Space Case; Spaced Out; Waste of Space

The Complete Moon Base Alpha: Space Case; Spaced Out; Waste of Space

By Stuart Gibbs

I wasn't sure whether or not I should post individual reviews on each book in the trilogy.... I ultimately decided to kill three birds with one stone- er, book review. (They DO say the pen is mightier than the sword.) As someone who's read all the FunJungle novels and is currently in the middle of the Spy School series, I'd have to say the Moon Base Alpha books were by far the best. I wish Stuart Gibbs made more, but alas! He didn't. Anyway, it's the future, and Dashiell (Dash) Gibson (fun fact! he's named after Stuart's son) lives on a space station. On the MOON. Sounds like a dream experience, right? Wrong. The food is horrible, and there's only so much you can do with your virtual reality systems. So, Dash resorts to what any 12 year-old kid would do to pass the time- solving mysteries! Each book is chock-full of twists, turns, action, and laughter. Even if you're not into space, (I'm not! I thought I'd like FunJungle better, because I'm an animal lover, but I didn't!) you should still give this book a try. With its quirky characters, astounding world-building, and sensational suspense, Moon Base Alpha is one of the best series I've ever read!
