Kids Books - Science Fiction

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 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... :)

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!!!!!!!!!!!

This book's genre is fantasy and it was written by Thea Stilton. This book is about a group of 7 mice. They are all brave, fearless, strong, caring, and kind. They save fantasy lands when the lands are in trouble. On this journey, they have to save the lands precious lotus flowers! All the creatures need the lotus flowers but the mice don't know that the flowers are being destroyed for a good cause! Their journey starts in the land of Minwa where they meet many mystical creatures. The main characters are a group of friends named Thea, Paulina, Colette, Nicky, Pam, and Will. They are all brave and fearless because they go on journey's where they could get trapped or sick and they can solve any problem! For example, in the book they discover that a creature is destroying magical flowers that keep the land alive and they are risking their lives to save the fairies, creatures, and the land from all dying. Two key events that "added" to the plot is the Thea Sisters split up getting information about the plot and calmed down mean creatures and made new friends. They "added" to the plot because they made new friends who had clues so helpful that they all added up and they were able to solve problems that the Thea Sisters didn't know about. At the beginning of the story Violet was shy even in front of her friends! She was too shy to present her creation to her friends. In the middle of the story is where we saw this change. On page 193, Violet yelled, "If it is you, Umibozu, stop hitting us!" Now Violet is brave and fearless because of her actions. One unanswered question that I'd like to ask the author is did the mice have to save the fantasy land again? I enjoyed it when all the mice joined together as a team again most about this book. I enjoyed it because they all shared their clues and I put them together and made and solved a clue. I would recommend this book because it has lessons on friendship and kindness and that is very important. Many kids would enjoy this book because it built excitement for me and it could for other kids.

If you enjoyed Watership Down, Tales From Watership Down is a good choice to reunite with characters from the first book. This book is much shorter than the first and is a bit easier to understand because of the familiarity achieved by reading Watership Down. The basis of this book explains the process of creating a new warren and learning more about rabbit myths heard in the first book.

I love this book; it's so creative, fun and exciting!

I am a insane so it makes me feel better I know I am not the only one! It is inspiring

Warning: This is NOT your regular book. But that's a good thing, right? Owen Conners is a regular boy, who wakes up one day and finds himself in a confusing time prison, where inmates live one day over and over again endlessly. But each day their memory resets with the time loop-- the prisoners never know how long they've been there, because they don't remember any previous days in the prison. Even worse, the prison is in the Cretaceous Period, where hungry dinosaurs roam. Sounds like torture, right? But there is one way to escape this nightmare-- through the door, with a 3-digit code. If someone guesses the wrong code, the day automatically resets for everyone. The only way to discover the correct digits for the codes is to outsmart the scenarios in three airlocks. But the time prison creators are very clever. If a prisoner solves an airlock and get a digit for the passcode, the prison day resets, so how could the prisoner possibly remember the digits to escape?? But that's where YOU come in, reader! This book is a pick-the-plot book, which means YOU decide between different choices to move the story along. Owen figures out that he is in the pick-the-plot book, and recruits you to help him escape so he can go find his friend Bethany. With the help of his new friend Kara Dox, another inmate, YOU choose what Owen and Kara do to find out the code. YOU have to remember the digits. Will you help Owen and Kara discover the digits and escape the time prison, or will you feed them mercilessly to dinosaurs? It's all up to you. :) I had so much fun reading this book! It was an adventure, and I loved how interactive it was! Yes, I've read regular pick-the-plot books, but this one took it to the next level! I mean, in how many books is it up to you to solve, remember, and choose so the characters can survive and escape? Not many, that's for sure! I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys pick-the-plot books and adventures! It is a bit confusing if you haven't read the rest of the series, so maybe before reading this book you should read the other great books in this series! This book was great! 4/5 stars!

If this book was anything, it was CLEVER. And MINDBLOWING. And utterly EPIC. James Riley put himself in his own book, he put the first Story Thieves book in THIS book, the characters find out that they're fictional, they see their OWN BOOK and - It's just completely MINDBLOWING I CANNOT GET OVER HOW MINDBLOWING THIS IS. I love how the flashbacks come and pass and how Owen ironically thinks how annoying flashbacks are and - oh, do you know why he (and Kiel) are having flashbacks? Because Kiel erased their memories with his forget spell. But the memories do come back after awhile, you can only wonder What? Why? How? Who? When? My final say is that James Riley is on top of his game with these beautifully and ironically twisted stories, and I am just in love with his books right now.

Add together a great team of new friends, a cute team captain, and a possible double crosser, equaling one AMAZING book! I was completely engaged as I read and I just couldn't stop! Amy McCulloch's writing pulled me in and my curiosity to find out what happened next kept me flipping the pages as quickly as I could! Jinxed is an amazing new novel and a sure-to-be hit! I recommend this book to everyone looking for their next great read! 5/5 stars!
