Guest: A Changeling Tale

Guest: A Changeling Tale

By Mary Downing Hahn

This book surprised, as I usually find spooky books doing, such as Coraline. I set out preparing to be totally spooked out and bored, but it actually intrigued me... I left out the last star simply because while it was a fascinating read, it did not inspire me to do anything. All in all, worth the time, not my favorite, but that's just me.

The Christmas Toy Factory (Geronimo Stilton (Numbered Prebound))

The Christmas Toy Factory (Geronimo Stilton (Numbered Prebound))

By Geronimo Stilton

I think that it teaches you how you should act during Christmas. You should be with family and not just work or just think about presents. You should be with the people you love. when you read the book you feel joy when Geronimo learns that Christmas is not just about work but to spend time with family. He just's think that all you have to do is work and not spend time with family.(one reason he is doing all the work is so he douse not get fired). I like it makes you want to just laugh but also feel love, joy, compassion, and happiness. ( You also feel a little laughter. Especially when the elf makes Geronimo go on a crazy ride). So read this book and that will get you in the holiday spirit.

Gravediggers: Mountain of Bones

My favorite book! Ian spots a majestic buck and runs after it. Kendra and PJ follow too. Suddenly, they are lost in the woods. While trying to survive, Ian, Kendra, and PJ find a wall with a mysterious symbol on it. They climb over it and find themselves near a cabin. Ian, Kendra, and PJ go inside and find a diary. They find out that the diary belonged to Deborah Palmer, a member of the Pine City Dancers who went missing in the woods. After reading the diary, they discover zombies are real and flee the cabin. PJ gets rescued after falling into the pack of zombies by a Warden named O'Dea. After that, Kendra and Ian find a paragraph written backwards by Deborah that said: Follow the marked path Find the web of dreams Reach the witch's lair Burn the wicked totem Destroy her evil power Break down the walls Set us free. Kendra and Ian find O'Dea and burn the dream catcher, but O'Dea yells that they set the zombies free into the world. Kendra, Ian, and PJ manage to defeat the zombies, and peace is restored. Then they become Gravediggers, zombie slayers.

Nick and Tesla's High-Voltage Danger Lab: A Mystery with Electromagnets, Burglar Alarms, and Other Gadgets You Can Build Yourself

By Bob Pflugfelder, Steve Hockensmith

This book has very funny adventures. I really enjoyed this grade 4 240 page book. Actually I am named after Nikola Tesla and who always wanted to be a mathematician and very intelligent with it. My second favorite subject, science, is a very fascinating which I learn a lot. My parents are biochemists and like to study biochemistry a lot (favorite hobby). Nick and Tesla discover really dangerous adventures like high-voltage. I also liked the mysterious part when they found many gadgets. The best part I liked was the part when they found a voltage lightning lab KABOOM. That's why I liked this book so much and 5 rated it. LOVED SO MUCH 5 star

There Is a Bird On Your Head! (An Elephant and Piggie Book)

There Is a Bird On Your Head! (An Elephant and Piggie Book)

By Mo Willems

I had read this when I was in Kindergarten. I still remember a lot! I'd recommend it for 3-6 year olds. But, your never too old for this book! Gerald was just standing when his best friend, Piggie, noticed there was a bird on his head. I don't remember a lot, but I think the bird ended on Piggie's head at the end

The Inquisitor's Tale: Or, The Three Magical Children and Their Holy Dog

The Inquisitor's Tale: Or, The Three Magical Children and Their Holy Dog

By Adam Gidwitz

This story is about three children and one dog who have the adventure of a lifetime. Jenna is just a regular pheasant girl-until she starts having visions of the future. After she protects her Gwen, the dog and also a saint, who happened to come back to life after years of death, she is put on the wanted list and goes on the run. Jacob is a Jewish boy who can heal any wound. After some teen thugs set fire onto the Jewish part of town, he goes to try and finding his parents. William is a dark and very large young monk, who has supernatural strength. He sets off to deliver a set of books to another monastery after he is kicked out of his own. When the children meet they join forces, and set off on an incredible adventure, full of danger, nobility, and conflict. This was a very interesting medieval tale. There were so many little details about life during that time period, you could tell the author researched a lot. I also liked that there were relatable problems in the book, even though they were in a different century. Problems dealing with race, prejudice, and religion were throughout the book. I have never read a book like this before. Each chapter was told by a different narrator, and it was told in the sense that the storytellers were at a pub, just sitting around, telling their part. Sometimes it was confusing, if you didn’t pay attention the the title you didn’t know who was speaking. For some people I am sure that it would be pure frustration and they would give up almost immediately. Somehow for me though, it worked. I liked knowing the story from different points of view, and for most of the book they are telling it after it has already happened. I also thought the illustrations were cool. The way the book was formatted was that there were larger margins, and all the drawings were stretched along side the words. Sometimes the pictures made sense, or like the illustrator warns us at the beginning they are random, and are like a doodle book. I recommend this book to older elementary students and middle school students, especially those who enjoy reading about medieval culture. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.
