Waste of Space (Moon Base Alpha)

Waste of Space (Moon Base Alpha)

By Stuart Gibbs

This is the 3rd and final installment in the Moon Base Alpha series by Stuart Gibbs, and this book was a great conclusion to this series. Dash Gibson is celebrating his birthday, which isn't very exciting as you would think. But his parents are making it work, by getting him candy and letting him go on the moon to play catch, but when Nina catches them, they know they are in trouble. Only thing is, they are not. Instead, Nina needs Dash to solve a case. Lars has been poisoned, and now it's Dash who needs to solve the case before more people get sick. But Dash doesn't want. The only reason he is is because Nina is threatening him to, because if he doesn't, his family may never be able to go home. Will Dash solve the case of who poisoned Lars, or will his family, and many others, continue to be in danger of food poisoning? Stuart Gibbs did it again in this final book in the MBA series, and I give it 4 starts for the mystery and action that took place!

The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making

The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making

By Catherynne M. Valente

12-year-old September gets whisked out of her bedroom window to Fairyland by the Green Wind. That might seem super fun to you and me, but September has her troubles. She stumbles upon the peculiar witches Hello, Goodbye, and Manythanks. Goodbye asked her to fetch a spoon the evil ruler of Fairyland, the Marquess, had taken. So off September goes on her quest. On the way to the Marquess's palace she meets the dragon-like creature Wyvern who September decides to call Ell. His real name is A-through-L, because when he was a young dragon he lived a an old yet homey library and only made it through the encyclopedias A-through-L. Ask him anything that begins with a letter within range, and he'll answer it. His wings are bound up in chains from the Marquess. The duo continue on the quest and arrive at a cove of cages, where only one is filled. A little boy named Saturday with pale blue skin vacates that one lonely cage. September ignores all warnings and breaks Saturday out. Saturday can grant wishes if he is beaten in a wrestling match fair and square. Now, the trio travel along to fulfill the quest. September meets the Marquess, a horrible little girl who couldn't be much older than September herself. The Marquess tries to sweet talk September but ends up sending her oin another quest, one to get a sword for her. If the quest isn't fulfilled in 7 days, they die. On this journey, September endures even more- for example, becoming a tree! Yikes! Then her new friends are captured and she has no choice but to circumnavigate Fairyland in a ship of her own making (hence the title). Shivering and starving, can September free her friends before time runs out? I really liked this book, 4/5 stars. I feel like the book started way too quickly though (she gets taken to Fairyland literally on the first page with practically no background of her life at home) Other than that, a great book!

I LOVE zelda more than anything. I know own the legendary edition of this book, which is book one of ocarana of time books one and two, but I like this one better. Link and Sheiks relationship is very interesting. I recomend this to any adventure, cominc, manga, or nintendo fan out there!

Kingdom Keepers: Disney After Dark

Kingdom Keepers: Disney After Dark

By Ridley Pearson

In my opinion, this book had some positives and negatives, so I'll be writing this review in that format. Positives: This book has a really cool, unique plot, not like anything I've seen before. Also, there aren't really any moments in the book where things aren't full of action, meaning you won't get too bored while reading this. Negatives: Since the book went quickly, it missed a few points that would have really helped to make things make sense. See, the author never really explains how things happen. The characters just set a plan to go somewhere and end up there, but there's no in-between. Also, the characters don't have much depth to them, and the girl characters are usually overlooked! There isn't much attention put on them! Also, this book was quite confusing. I think since it was quite a quick read for me, that stopped it from being anywhere near as confusing as some books I've read, but still, it's just not one of my favorites. Overall, I was expecting a lot more from this book. I've been wanting to read it for a while now, but I'm kinda disappointed. I must say though, Amanda and Finn would be a cute couple!

Ghost Boys

Ghost Boys

By Jewell Parker Rhodes

Kinda freaky, but it is NOT REAL. Which is luckily good. There is a kid named Jerome who was given a toy gun by his friend, and when a police officer thought he had a real gun, he shot the boy. Jerome died and his ghost lingered. He soon met other ghosts, who were all... brown skinned boys. They were all killed because they were black, just like Jerome. The person that started it all was their leader. Each ghost had one person who could see him, and Jerome's was the officer's daughter. He had shot him because he was afraid of him. And, basically.... he was just a ghost forever... :/ :( :'( This book was creepy, and might get kids believing in ghosts. So... what I got from the story was "DON'T BE RACIST."

The Magic Misfits

The Magic Misfits

By Neil Patrick Harris

This is my first post and also a book review I did in my writing class Magic… it’s all tricks and illusions, right? Wrong. Neil Patrick Harris takes us on a journey about learning what magic really is with Carter, a boy who lives with his Uncle Sly who steals from people using magic. Soon, though, uncle Sly is discovered and he and Carter must run away. Carter escapes from Uncle Sly and ends up at the little town of Mineral Wells. There, he meets Leila, Riley, Theo, and the twins, Olly and Izzy. Bosso and his gang are a traveling circus crew. They scam people with fake attractions. Then, they find out Bosso is planning to steal the biggest diamond in the world! The friends hatch an elaborate plan to stop him! This hilarious Realistic Fiction book is great for people who want to expand their reach to a new series. This book was Magic to my eyes in many ways. I loved how this book is really suspenseful. At first; we don’t know much about the protagonist, Carter, and Mr.Vernon was steeped in mystery. It made me ask things, such as“How does he seem connected to Carter?” And “Who is he even?” I thought it was exciting when The Misfits unveiled Bosso’s plans to steal the largest diamond in the world. I found this book humorous, like when Izzy and Olly make little quirks, and comments, and I like how the narrator sometimes pauses and says silly things. Those things were what struck me most out of all the Magic. But there are some things that were less appealing to me in this book. This book is good, but like all books, there were a few things that were not as good as others. Sometimes, the book dragged on or had filler scenes and long parts unrelated to the story. Also, it used some terms I had to find out or look up. Those things I did not like as much as the rest of this book. There are many ups and downs, but I recommend that if you get bored easily, don’t even try this book. But you might want to try it with its neverending comedy, and also it would be good for you if you like adventure stories...I think it is a great book. Most people would like to read The Magic Misfits. This is good for a book report or review because there is a lot of content to write about. Overall, this book was great and very funny. I like all the other books in the series because they have similar content and quality as the first one. Join the magic with Neil Patrick Harris’s Magic Misfits!
