Kids Books - Science Fiction

Amazing. Really leaves you wondering. So dark and sad, this is fantastic literature in the Young Adult universe.

If you like the flash you HAVE to read this book!!!! It has a bunch of cool pictures in it and its like one of the best books ive ever read!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that Nimona by Noelle Stevenson should get a ⅘. This is because I think that the ending could be better. Nimona gets mad at Blackheart because she thinks he chooses to be a hero over saving her life, (which isn't true), which makes her upset, so she runs away. Later, they see each other in a crowd, and Nimona just waves, and then disappears into the crowd, and they never see each other again. This makes me annoyed because I think that they could’ve lived together and maybe Blackheard could adopt her, two lonely souls living together you know? But of course that didn’t happen. Instead, Nimona says a brief goodbye and the story ends! Crazy! But, overall, I think that this book is amazing and super unique. I think that this book is a wonderful read for 4th grade to 6th grade. WARNING: This book has some swears, (Not the worst ones though. Just a couple of minor ones.). I recommend reading this book, so just go to your local library, and get this book now!!!

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have an imaginary friend? When this friend tries to help you conquer the problems you have at home. When you don’t have food or enough money for paying the bills at home? Well this boy named, Jackson with his family they can’t live in the minivan again. They have to find a way how to try to pay the bills and get more food. This is when Jackson’s friend comes, Crenshaw. “Crenshaw is a cat. He's large, he's outspoken, and he's imaginary. He has come back into Jackson's life to help him. But is an imaginary friend enough to save this family from losing everything?” “In her first novel since winning the Newbery award, Katherine Applegate delivers an unforgettable and magical story about family, friendship, and resilience.” Katherine Applegate is fiction writer for kids. She is best known as the author of the Animorphs, Remnants, Everworld, and other book series. She has won the Newbery Award in 2012 for the book The One And Only Ivan. She is a successful author for children. Applegate's most popular books are science fiction, fantasy, and adventure novels. “She won the Best New Children's Book Series Award in 1997 in Publishers Weekly. Her book Home of the Brave has won two awards. She has recently written an early chapters series called Roscoe Riley Rules.” This book is a fantastic book with all the challenges Jackson family goes through. I would recommend this book to people who likes adventure or fantasy. This book teaches us that most people actually go through the things that Jackson goes through in his lifetime with his little sister, Robin and his parents, Tom and Sarah. This story also shows us to never let go any of the friends that you've taken away from your life.

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!

This was funny and cartoon like at the same time and it was very enjoyable to say the least and I'm a huge plants vs zombies fan I have the game and this book is good I would give it six stars but I can't

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.

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 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.

"I promise, heart to snap." Can you imagine a world where animals roamed without fear, but they were divided among two sides? On one side are the Wild Ones, consisting of rats, weasels, raccoons and pretty much everything in between - but on the other side are the bloodthirsty Flealess, People's pets who aren't as cuddly and soft as you imagined. Both sides are about to get in a bitter war about possession over Ankle Snap Alley, the most rundown, Slivered Sky-reminiscent place you could imagine - but still, a home for the Wild Ones. Meanwhile, a young, carefree raccoon named Kit thinks he's the farthest away as possible from Slivered Sky life. His parents are historians, travelling all over the world to find artifacts related to Azban, the first Raccoon. But when his parents die at the hands of bloodhounds, Kit must follow his mother's last words - he must protect the Footprint of Azban at all costs and find his uncle Rik. Kit doesn't know why his parents had to die protecting the Footprint of Azban - for all he knows, it's just an artifact, nothing important! But suddenly Kit finds out a shocking secret about his parents and the Footprint of Azban.. and suddenly, Kit finds out that he's the only one who can uncover the secret that gives Ankle Snap Alley to the Wild Ones.. but will he die at the hands of the Flealess trying to uncover it? An almost worthy successor to the great adventure novels that were Redwall, this novel has a big heart and a great bit of adventure. In one word, I think this book is refreshing. A fresh breath of spring air in an alley, you could say. I love how this book takes the "animal" genre towards a new direction, focusing not on dogs, cats, and the like, but on other animals that deserve the spotlight for a change! That being said, I love how this book has such a diverse cast of animals! Another thing I love about this book is the unlikely (at the beginning) friendship of Kit and Eeni. I'm also relieved there isn't a romantic relationship between any of the characters (except Kit's parents, of course), because it's honestly becoming cliche. I loved how their friendship was genuine, not some plot twist where one betrays the other, because honestly I've read too many of those books lately.. The character development and details really pulled me into this world of ragtag animals.. I think that the only thing that negatively surprised me was the surprising amount of violence (don't be turned away from this book because of that, there's only a little), I think I was expecting a feel-good, family book but there was actual hunting/war/violence and even a death at the beginning (not too many details) But what can you say - this book really tugged at my heart with its adventurous spirit. This book delved into a cutting-edge storyline.. but it also explored the true feelings of its characters, and that might be why I loved this book.
