Minecraft: The Island: A Novel

Minecraft: The Island: A Novel

By Max Brooks

I enjoyed this book a lot. I thought it was cool that he was from the human world, but doesn't know anything about the world. He has to try and live his life the right way fighting monsters, building weapons, finding food, and making a good shelter. I can relate to this book by how people are introduced to new things, like a sister and/or brother, and has to learn to live with it. Overall, it was an awesome book to read and a great way to entertain yourself.

Bad Luck (The Bad Books)

Bad Luck (The Bad Books)

By Pseudonymous Bosch

Como C. Llama is the best! We loved this series!!!! 6 year old only wanted to review this series. 8 year old started collecting llamas because of Como, a beloved character. 11 year old and Mom all loved this series, many laughs were had, a bit of nail biting, but mostly just adventure and mystery and we didn't want it to end. My, now 9 year old has written reports on this series, because it was truly a joy to read.

Thea Stilton and the Mystery in Paris (Geronimo Stilton Special Edition)

By Thea Stilton

In this special edition novel of the beloved Thea Stilton series, the Thea Sisters are off to Paris! They're prepared for a nice, long, relaxing vacation - but what they receive is far from their expectations. First, on their plane ride, a storm jags the airplane up and down, scaring the cheese out of the mouselets. Then, when they arrive in Paris to live with Colette's fashion-designer friend Julie, they realize that Julie's designs have been stolen! Though their "relaxation" has been tainted, the Sisters are determined to track down the design thief in time to showcase Julie's clothing in her school fashion show. Fun and exciting, this book is great for younger audiences and people interested in interactive books.

Dragon Ball Super, Vol. 9 (9)

Dragon Ball Super, Vol. 9 (9)

By Akira Toriyama

I think this was the best book in the whole series because I feel Toriyama and Toyotarou Put a lot of work into this book and made it where it does not show just the end of the tournament of power but the beginning of the galactic prisoner arc in further books about dragon ball

Talons of Power (Wings of Fire, Book 9)

Talons of Power (Wings of Fire, Book 9)

By Tui T. Sutherland

I thoroughly enjoyed the reading experience of Talons of Power, never finding myself uninterested. That being said, I think this is definitely the weakest book in the second arc and most of the book can be classified as filler. 3 stars. Before I get into my issues, let me preface this by saying I adore the Wings of Fire books and consider this one of my all time favorite middle grade series. My critiques of this book do not change that, and 3 stars is a positive rating for me. Other than the last 20 pages or so, this book is the same thing happening over and over again. Turtle follows Darkstalker, waiting for him to do something evil, Darkstalker doesn’t. Repeat for 200 pages. Turtle is a very…passive character. He spends nearly the entire book “invisible” and just hanging out observing everyone else. He rarely takes matters into his own hands, which I recognize is part of his character but it makes him so much less interesting compared to the other main characters like Moon or Peril. Turtle is so infrequently involved in the story that he didn’t even feel like the main character. Most of this book is slow and repetitive. A lot of the plot serves to bridge the gap to the series finale. Though I was let down by this penultimate novel, I still enjoyed reading it. I love this series and world. The characters of this arc are extremely endearing. I’ve been reading Tui’s writing since I was very young, so I’m always happy to jump into her stories. I’m still super hyped for the finale. There are so many ways this could go, and I can’t wait to see. Not to mention I think Qibli is the main character of the final book, and he is one of my favorites!

Icebreaker (The Icebreaker Trilogy)

Icebreaker (The Icebreaker Trilogy)

By Lian Tanner

I chose a three out of five rating because the book took a very long time to have only a little bit of action. But, once you got like three fourths of the way through, it picked up and was hard to put down. I also gave it that rating because I had a hard time focusing on the book when I was reading it. This book was pretty interesting, though. I’d never thought of some people as anti-machinists, and I don't understand how that would ever happen to people in the future. Lastly, I would recommend it to anyone from the age of ten through thirteen. So, basically fourth grader’s through seventh graders.

Escaping Peril (Wings of Fire, Book 8)

Escaping Peril (Wings of Fire, Book 8)

By Tui T. Sutherland

I just finished Wings of Fire, Escaping Peril, a fantasy by Tui T. Sutherland, for the eighth time (It's still awesome!) and Wings of Fire is the best series ever! It is about a SkyWing named Peril who is a firescales (meaning that her scales are as hot as fire so she is super dangerous) and was very loyal to Queen Scarlet of the SkyWings. Until she met Clay. In the first book she is a Scarlet loyalist but then Scarlet Imprisons Clay and his friends and she falls in love with Clay. This makes her realize how evil Scarlet is and how horribly she treats her prisoners. Anyway now, in the eighth book Peril is no longer loyal to Scarlet and will do anything that she could ever possibly do to protect Clay. After Scarlet threatens Jade Mountain Academy, Peril realizes that the only thing that Clay wants, the only thing that will make Clay feel like he and his friends are safe, even if he will never admit it, is for Queen Scarlet to be killed. So Peril sets out to find the missing Queen and to kill her. Peril’s plan was to kill Scarlet immediately, without letting Scarlet talk her out of it. But things don't quite go as planned…

Ninth Ward

Ninth Ward

By Jewell Parker Rhodes

Ninth Ward is a really interesting book about a girl ( Lanesha ) and her foster mother ( Mama Ya-Ya ). Lanesha was orphaned at birth and was fostered because her rich Uptown family is scared of her. Around the middle of the book hurricane Katrina strikes, but Mama Ya-Ya and Lanesha are stuck, unable to get out of New Orleans. I would definitely recommend this book for ages 9-12. Overall a really good book for people who like cliffhangers.
