The Wide Window, Movie Tie-in Edition (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 3)
By Lemony Snicket
I absolutely recommend this book! It is amazing,detailed, thrilling, exciting, and you never can prognosticate what is going to happen next. In my opinion I don't really like Aunt Josephine. I know she is trying to keep herself and the orphans safe but it is ridiculous how she is afraid of everything. Phones, doorbells, ovens, doorknobs, wood, you name it! It was smart of her when she through her statue out the window and Count Olaf thought it was her. Then, she jumped out the window and climbed down to her jet ski and drove to Curdled Cave to hide from Count Olaf. I was surprised how easily the children decoded the message and stole a sail boat.
The Miserable Mill (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 4)
By Lemony Snicket
(warning This book has many large words) This book honestly makes me ache because when it nears the end one of the very optimistic characters loses a limb. That doesn't mean I don't like this book though. I thought this book was amazing and it's one of my favorites. In this book out of the 13 Klaus, Sunny and Violet are sent to a lumber mill to live there lives and work. But they only get paid in coupons and have to eat gum for breakfast lunch in dinner. They pretty much live off it. But count Olaf is hiding. One of his minions are hidden as one of the top workers there and break Klaus's glasses. Olaf and hypnotist is acting as optometrist and hypnotize Klaus and fix his glasses. So Klaus (since he got hypnotized) turned on one of the machines and accidently got one of the workers Phil (in grim grotto they call him Cookie) to lose a limb. They then escaped and as we all know Mr. Poe brings them to another horrible place for them to live a orphans. (I didn't add to much detail for anyone who as not read this book) Keep reading!
The Isle of the Lost: A Descendants Novel (The Descendants)
By Melissa de la Cruz
This book opens like any other: Once upon a time. But it's not your typical happily-ever-after. Queen Belle and King Beast of Auradon banished all the villains of the fairytale world to the Isle of the Lost, an island protected by a magical barrier that traps all the evil-doers inside, and takes their powers away in the process. All the villains are stuck there with their kids-- yep, that's right, the villains have kids! But this book is about 4 certain descendants: Mal, daughter of Maleficent; Jay, son of Jafar; Evie, daughter of Evil Queen; and Carlos, son of Cruella De Vil. Ever since Mal wasn't invited to Evie's birthday party when they were younger, she's been determined to get her back. This year, as her Evil Scheme project at school (yes, villains teach their kids how to be evil at school😜) cunning Mal is planning to really get her. And it's going down at her midnight party, with the help of her thieving partner, mischievous Jay. Meanwhile, beautiful Evie and intellegent Carlos try out Carlos's new invention: and it breaks a hole through the barrier! Even if it's only a small one, it allows them to grasp a bit of magic from the mainland. And as they discover later, this magic awakens Diablo, Maleficent's raven sidekick, and Maleficent's infamous scepter. And there's different reasons everybody wants to venture to find it: Mal's evil scheme to "dethrone" Evie never worked, and she's looking for a way to prove to her mother that she really is evil. Jay wants to get the scepter so it can be the "Big Score" his father has been raving about, the one that will make them rich. Evie just wants to make friends, and live on the mainland. Carlos wants to get away from his mother, who treats him like a maid, and continue his inventions. For these reasons (that they all keep to themselves), they band together and journey through the Isle of the Lost to find the scepter. Through the obstacles and challenges that face them on their way, they find that they need to use every one of their different strengths to help them continue on. Will they find the scepter? Who will make the move to take it for themselves? And are these villains really that bad?! As the back of the book states; Bad tree. Bad apple?? This book was so good! I love the idea of descendants of the classic villains! Melissa De la Cruz did a great job bringing this idea to life in her amazing writing. I actually watched the movie Descendants (BTW, it's a great movie if you want to check it out) BEFORE reading the prequel, but luckily that didn't really matter. All in all, I recommend this book for anybody! 5/5 stars!
Diary of a Minecraft Zombie Book 5: School Daze (Volume 5)
By Zack Zombie
This book is funny and for some reason he is at school and that is funny to me because zombie don't go to school the game is better but the book is still good and I love the game and this book.
Once Upon the End (Half Upon a Time)
By James Riley
If you haven't read Half Upon a Time and Twice upon a time, this story will NOT make any sense. But it is the most epic grande finale I have ever read.
Cardboard
By Doug TenNapel
What I liked about this book was because it showed how all of the characters actually felt and it was funny the illustrations were good and just the book in general was really good I liked that it showed if you believe in things they might come true which was really good because I have not read many books like that an those are the books I like to read too.
Firelight (Amulet #7)
By Kazu Kibuishi
Title: Amulet Firelight Author: Kazu Kabuishi Genre: Sci fi I would give this a 3/5 rating because in my opinion how they switch from situation to situation can be annoying for me. Whoever some of the parts are good for example when Emily turns into a bird, that's cool! Secondly this book has some interesting parts like when the shadows control the fish and they pierce through the glass. I would recommend this book for 3rd+ because if a 2nd grader read this they might not understand it or think it's real.
The Last Hope (Warriors: Omen of the Stars No. 6)
By Erin Hunter
The last book of the final series of Warrior Cats. This book is full of adventures and danger, with sadness and despair. With all of the four clans uniting to battle with the dark forest, under Firestar's lead, the four clans unite as one and defeated the dark forest's evil cats. I really admire Firestar because usually a kitty pet is not respected and treated really mean, however Firestar was treated well and other cats respect him as a true clan born, and other cats would want to follow him even the other clan leaders. I really liked this series from the starting to the end, even though it wasn't considered a happy ending. Firestar's character shows the life of some people work hard to earn their spot in society and get respected, when they started with nothing., however if you are willing to try you may succeed.
Sweet Valley Twins: Best Friends: (A Graphic Novel)
By Pascal, Francine
This book is amazing! How two sixth-grade-twins take on middle school and grow apart a little. And it adds a twist of laughter ever time.
Among the Impostors (Shadow Children Book 2)
By Margaret Peterson Haddix
Have you ever imagined being an illegal third child? In addition to being an illegal child you have to learn how to blend in with new surrounding. Well the book Among the Imposters by Margaret Peterson Haddix shows just that. “Among the Imposters” is the second book in a series called Shadow Children. Luke Garner or should I say Lee Grant, all of his life he’s been hiding avoiding the population police. Population police are officers who encourage the law of illegal third children to help population levels decrease. They also invade people’s homes searching for exneys (illegal third children), executing the third children when they figure that they are actually third children. Luke was sent to the school of Hendricks with a fake I.D playing the role of a boy named Lee Grant. Hendricks School of Boys is a windowless school with brutal students who disrespect Luke, and the teachers are absolutely oblivious. One day Luke discovers a door that leads outside. Will Luke discover what lies outside of the Hendricks school? Will his question unfold? You have to read Among the Imposters to find out. I recommend this book or series for people in 5-8 grade who enjoy exciting thrillers because I feel that this has a pretty deep content. I also feel they might not understand the meaning, and purpose of the book or series. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I did.
