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.

Assassination Classroom, Vol. 1

Assassination Classroom, Vol. 1

By Yusei Matsui

Assassination Classroom is a manga and anime series for everybody who likes to get some assassination going in their boring life. The series is about class 3E, the lowest ranked class in all of Kunugigaoka Junior High School, is usually disrespected. Suddenly, one day, a secret assassin named Mr. Karasuma sent from the government came to the class, which is in the old school building, a tiny, secluded shack far away from the new one on a mountain top, came with a yellow octopus looking creature. Surprisingly, that creature wanted to be a teacher. Hah, that rhymes. Anyways, the creature was had stolen a chunk of the moon and has claimed that he would do the same to the Earth as well a year from then in march. The government let him pursue his final wish, which was to teach. And the government also set up a plan. They thought that if they train the students to become assassins, the students could kill him before the creature destroys the Earth. And of course, since the prize money was 10 billion yen (100 million in USA), they couldn't turn down the offer. But as they try to kill Koro~sensei, as they named their teacher, they start to grow affection. Koro~Sensei has taught them and has made them smarter. They have a lot to thank him for. They know they have to kill him, but do they want to? Will they really? Well, find out what happens for yourself. My favorite character is Nagisa Shiota, which is hard to tell, but is the main student character (and 2nd most main character besides Koro~Sensei in the whole show) in E class. My second favorite is Karma Akabane. who is a super intelligent guy, but he fights a lot. He would have been in A class if he didn't fight. My 3rd is Koro Sensei. I give this a 5 star! It's awesome, and I recommend it to you... if your fine with cussing... :)

The Apothecary (The Apothecary Series)

The Apothecary (The Apothecary Series)

By Maile Meloy

OMG! This book is super good. It melted sense, but not really. Warning: if you want to read this book, there will be spoilers ahead. Anyways, Janie is a partially normal girl who lives in the U.S., in California. One day, there was a black car following her. She asked her parents about it. Then, her parents basically told her they were communists, and that the government was watching them. Also they were going to have to move to the U.K. So they move, and they get a pretty run down place. Janie starts going to school there, and meets Benjamin Brussels, the apothecary's son. Pretty soon, Benjamin asks her on a 'chess date'. Turns out it was for spying. Janie, who had sometime in the beginning of the book gone to the Apothecary's and heard Benjamin and his father arguing. Benjamin never wanted to be an apothecary. As the book goes on (sorry, I'm going to skip a bunch) they find out that the avian elixir works, three amazing scientists figure out how to stop/contain the atomic bomb, and they meet a pickpocket in jail (that's a long story), and they stow away on a bpboatat, being invisible. So pretty much, this book was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
