Kids Books - Science Fiction

The Swallow I am reading The Swallow by Charis Cotter, it is a fantastic fiction book. This book is about two girls named Polly Laise and Winnifred Rose McPherson. Polly wants to see ghost badly but rose is different she wants to stop seeing ghost because she is bewitched. When the two of them met in their attics, they said to meet at the cemetery to see each other. Then They met each other at the cemetery, Rose told Polly to run because the ghost were coming to scare them, but suddenly Rose fell on a grave that had her name on it,“ Winnifred Rose McPherson.” They had to find out why Rose’s name was on the grave. They asked everyone, especially Kendrick, Rose’s nanny and she told about the other Winnifred Rose McPherson. I think this book is a fantastic fiction book because it is very detailed I think that because Chris Cotter really explained why they were there, and etc. I recommend this book to ages 9 - 11 because there are some hard words that some kids would not understand. Do you think that Rose and Polly will find out why Rose’s name was on the grave??

I can't believe that I read this book but I couldn't help it because my little brother kept on talking about it. So I read it and I was a little bit too old for it. I recommend this book for ages 7-10

I think it is a good book.Its not all that great I really dont get if it was scary or not.

I agree completely. I really don't like superman.

Our class is loving this book: It's suspense, its unfolding drama, its utter creepiness. When I read it on the carpet the other day, the kids got so scared they gathered around closer to my feet for comfort!

I like when Pearl takes the Leprechaun's gold because she thinks he's trying to persuade her to give it back. He keeps saying that his magic plugged that's why he is at the hospital.

Is this series really that good? Everyone loves it so I kind of want to try and read it. There are also tons of books in the series. I heard they fight though so I think I will like it.

Some people say sequels aren't as good as the original, however the second book of the Cronus Chronicles is proof that this saying isn't always right. This book is insanely charming, starring a colorful and lovable cast of characters. Displaying interesting and hilarious takes on famous figures of Greek mythology. In this book, the role of antagonist is split between three different characters, yet all of them are still fabulously twisted. This is the only book that had me list Narrator as one of my favorite characters. The Narrator seems to morph his/her beliefs depending on which character he/she is narrating. This style definitely richens the story because the Narrator explains the antagonists or protagonists way of thinking, which can be hilariously mislead or cunning. The author has an amazing talent to write both comedy and action well, all while keeping it appropriate. If yo want to skip out a sequel, don't let it be this one!

Have you ever seen a person turn into a reindeer? In this book Katie, George (Katie’s good friend), and their teacher Mr. G, are all in the Christmas spirit. Katie especially wants it to be Christmastime. She was so happy when for lunch Katie got a Sandwich with lettuce, tomato and cheese that was shaped like a tree. She had a red and white candy cane for her desert. She is careful not to wish for anything because when she makes wishes, they actually come true!! Katie has a magic wind that can change her into anything including pets and other people. Hopefully Katie doesn’t mess up with Christmas with any switcheroos. Can she do it??? I love this book. One reason is because it is funny. In school Mr.G is the crazy teacher. He lets the kids have teams to fit as many balls into George’s pants. Another reason is that it is full of adventures. Katie got changed into a reindeer because in the nighttime there was a star on top of her head and the next day she turned into a reindeer. It was a great book you should read it.

The Monstrumologist was an exemplary book with the perfect mix of Adventure, Horror, Science-fiction and even a touch of Historical Fiction. I was pleased with the fact that there was no Romance within this novel (a genre I despise). The suspension was exhilarating, and I kept flipping pages. The amount of detail painted a vivid picture in my mind and often made me reel in disgust or gape at the amount of dedication it must have taken to create a book with so many layers and sub-mysteries. I recommend not consuming any food or drink while reading this book, because it gets delightfully gory at some parts. Otherwise, I highly recommend that you pick up this book and start reading. It won't fail to impress! The preferred age range would be 13+ and it will appeal mostly to males (since little to no romance exists in this book). There is a touch of mature content, but nothing you can't handle. I loved this book (it is one of my favorites) and you will too. (Remember, it's part of a series!)
