Dorko the Magnificent

Dorko the Magnificent

By Andrea Beaty

Robbie Darko wants to be a world-famous magician. He has done several acts, some of them in the talent show, but they haven’t always turned out so great. Today is his mom’s birthday and he wants to do a special magic trick for her-pulling the tablecloth out from under the china set on the table. A few days after the bad turnout of the trick, Grandma Melvin, Robbie’s grandma, offers to teach him magic lessons. With the talent show coming close, will Grandma Melvin help him? Or will she just sit and watch The Wheel Of Fortune while she is laughing at him? In a enjoyable and magical story, Beaty keeps fans cheering for her and Robbie until the very last page. My thoughts: I really loved this book. The cover is pretty awesome and you want to know something weird? The first time I saw the cover I thought the rabbit was a grandma. Call me crazy, but I promise you. I loved all the magic in this story; Robbie Darko is trying so hard to end his years at Elementary School with a bang, so he can be remembered there for years to come. The grandma is so crazy; in a good way. She thinks that the “zoysia grass is attacking her” and yells at the TV. She is such a character, and was written very skillfully. The added bits of humor in this Middle-Grade story were wonderful, and I think I will check out more books by Andrea Beaty.

A Plague of Unicorns

A Plague of Unicorns

By Jane Yolen

This book is absolutely amazing. You actually learn a little about how life was centuries ago while indulging in some great fantasy writing. If you like the dark ages and you like unicorns than you will love this book.

Lenny Cyrus, School Virus

Lenny Cyrus, School Virus

By Joe Schreiber

In Lenny Cyrus School Virus Lenny Cyrus shrinks himself down to a microscopic level trying to prove that he can do something that nobody else has done before and that completely breaks all laws of physics, to his parents who are both Nobel Prize winners. Lenny goes inside Zooey Andrews’s body and gets stuck in there for six hours with a virus named Astro. He meets a steroid called Lug and turns him into a caffeine molecule eventually every steroid wants to be turned into a caffeine molecule too. After a while of watching how Lenny did it, they all learn how to do it themselves and every one turns itself into a caffeine molecule; completely disrupting things. When Lenny makes it up to Zooeys brain he makes it across the blood brain barrier but leaves a hole letting a virus get into her brain. The virus, starts slowly eating away at all her white blood cells and slowly killing her in the process. In the meanwhile Zooeys putting on a play that she’s been working on for two years and cant afford to get sick now. I think that this book is an okay book. Although its cover doesn’t look as good as it could have been, and the title isn’t the best either, the book isn't as bad as it seems when you first look at it.

Garden Princess

Garden Princess

By Kristin Kladstrup

This book really took me by suprise. It is a soft love story that takes place, in of course, a garden. Princess Adela is not the kind of Princess most people want her to be, she would rather spend time in the soil than in her duties. When her closest friend, the gardener, Garth, she comes along and discovers a couple secrets considering their hostess, Lady Hortensia. Let's just say, don't judge a flower by it's cover. After Adela manages to escape, she can't seem to stop thinking about the black bird, whom she restored to his human form. Equally odd, he feels the same way. THis novel is a good read that is a mystery, an adventure, and a soft love story.

Dog Magic (Animal Magic (Scholastic))

Dog Magic (Animal Magic (Scholastic))

By Holly Webb

If you like Dogmagic you should read Catmagic. Catmagic is a great book because... The characters are suspicious. The author used a lot of detail. The main character has to go to a different school because her mom is away at work so she is staying with her uncle. Her uncles house is a pet shop! The animals act like there hiding something? Are they special. I don’t want to give to much away but Catmagic is PURRfectly magical.

The Wells Bequest: A Companion to The Grimm Legacy

The Wells Bequest: A Companion to The Grimm Legacy

By Polly Shulman

The quality of writing in this book is the same as it is in it's companion. But if you are reading this book in search for answers to the cliff hangers made in Grimm Legacy don't bother. It is a complete new story line, and you barley get a glimpse of the old characters.
