The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

By Robert Louis Stevenson

The lesson that DR. Jekyll learns is that he shouldn't have taken the drug because it changes his life forever. For example, when DR. Jekyll turns into Hyde, his personality changes into evil. He can be hazardous because in the book it says that he killed someone and ran away. This shows that trying to change yourself has very negative affects. For one, he can't spend time with the people he likes, for fear of turning into Hyde, and he can't do his projects because he might turn into Hyde. Also,now people are going to keep an eye on Hyde and if someone sees him turn back into Jekyll, then it will be really risky. DR. Jekyll will be in a worse situation because of it and now, he can never be himself without Hyde. If Jekyll didn't take the drug, he would be better off without Hyde around. I rate this book a “7 out of 10” and the illustrations a “5 out of 10.” I really recommend this book because it is full of mystery and action and after every page there is a picture, which makes it very easy to visualize. One unanswered question I would like to ask is… What made MR. Hyde so evil? Was it something in the drug? If so, would Jekyll still have some control over Hyde because Jekyll has the same brain when he turns into Hyde?

Click

By Kayla Miller

I think that the book click is Pretty cool, it has some really interesting Drawings. Also I'm only a chapter in so I don't have much to review but once I do some school work I'll read some more of it. The last time I read it and that is also when I started the book was 7 hours ago. Even though I'm not that far into the book I kind of know the plotline So far my Favorite Character is The main Character she is really cool. I'm sorry that this review is not that good and I should have did better cause I'm in 7th Grade I'm just not that far into the book plus I'm kinda rushing so I can do my homework.

Be Prepared

Be Prepared

By Vera Brosgol

Vera has always wanted to fit in. One day, she learns about a Russian Camp and wants to go. She's Russian, and the other kids at the camp will be too! At the Russian Camp she will fit in perfectly. Or so she thought. The day arrives and she is assigned a tent with two older girls. When the girls she shares a tent with are 5 years older than her, it's hard to fit in. All they do is sneak candy into their tent (which isn't allowed at the Camp), talk about a boys they think are cute, and have other conversations. The girls are best friends and find Vera weird. Vera tries to win their friendship and attention with her incredible drawings, and the girls soon become "friends". The girls start using her and blaming her for anything they do wrong. Vera hates it at the camp and she desperately wants to return home. She starts to learn that it's better to make friends then try and buy them. I absolutely love the drawings and color in this book! The story line is great and I also loved how this book is actually based on the author's experience in camp. There is more to the book than I explained, so go read it! I think this is one of the better graphic novels you could read. If you do read this book, enjoy!

Donner Dinner Party (Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales #3)

Donner Dinner Party (Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales #3)

By Nathan Hale

I was in class when my teacher gave me this book to read. This book is currently one I'm reading and is about survival and hunger (and obviously about moving to California) and takes place through California in1846. There isn't much of a moral in this story but as Virginia Reed once said, *Don't take no cutoffs and get where your'e going as fast as you can.*

Lavender Blue is a girl disguised as a boy that works at the Bugle and when she meets and unusual boy, named Crow, who is not what he seems, they become friends. But somebody is after Crow and now Blue must help him. I would recommend this for ages 10+ This book had really good graphics but the pace was sort of weird. While some parts were super exciting, some parts were really boring. I also found some parts really confusing. Other than that, this book was super fun to read and I would recommend it to fans of Be Prepared and Invisible Emmie.

Ms. Marvel Vol. 1 (Marvel Now! - Ms. Marvel)

Ms. Marvel Vol. 1 (Marvel Now! - Ms. Marvel)

By G. Willow Wison

I read this comic while I was at a Barnes and Noble, and I was completely blown away by it. The author was really able to capture the frustrations of being a teenager, (at least, in my case!) and what it feels like to not know who you want to become. Basically, Kamala Khan is the female version of Peter Parker. Even if you're not a big comic book reader (a.k.a. me), you should pick this one up! It's not quite as relatable to guys as it is to girls, but the struggles of teenagers are pretty across the board. I also loved how this comic provided diversity, along with a different religion, compared to white-washing her character, and I thought it added a neat insight on how my life doesn't differ that much from her's, despite a difference in religion and different colored skin. Because in the end, it doesn't really matter what religion we are or what skin color we have, we're all just people.
