Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Hard Luck: 8

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Hard Luck: 8

By Jeff Kinney

I likr this book very much. It is very funny, even though I think that Greg and Rowley, best friends, are seperated too much, and you can´t live the adventures like you did in the series before. I think Jeff Kinney is an amazing author, knows how to grab the audience. The book has a very enjoyable sense of humour, and it fits to everyone who reads this book. I like how Jeff Kinney talks as if he was Greg, in a children´s way. He always has new ideas, and this book makes it to a highlight. think this book fits to everyone, because it has things that the reader lives through in the everyday life. The book would be better, and every other book of these series to, if Rowley is not the only friend of Greg. I think Greg could 1 or 2 other ones, so you have a little variety. If you read this book you can´t close the book and want to know what is written on the next page. This inspires all of us to read more. I also think that Greg also could change his personality a little, because if he always has the same personality it gets a little boring. I think everybody knows why this book has received the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Award. But you should not only rate this book on the style of writing. It also has very nice illustrations by Jeff Kinney, that kind of awake this book to life.I hope you enjoy this book after you read it. I think this book is clearly an essential:-) Hafe fun!!!

The Princess Bride (Fox): S. Morgenstern's Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure

The Princess Bride (Fox): S. Morgenstern's Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure

By William Goldman

Shortly after watching the movie and LOVING it, I got the book. And I ended up loving it even more than the movie. (The movie basically took the book and chopped all the scenes and moments in half.) The Princess Bride gives so much detail, and beauty, and descriptions and you can see everything in your mind. It is a tale of "fencing, fighting, torture, poison, true love, hate, revenge, giants, hunters, bad men, good men, beautifulest ladies, snakes, spiders, beasts of all natures and descriptions, pain, death, brave men, coward men, strongest men, chases, escapes, lies, truths, passion, and miracles." (If you read that whole paragraph I commend you.) You get to sympathize with everyone (except Prince Humperdinck, Vizzini, and Count Rugen) going from Buttercup to Westley to Inigo to Fezzik and every one of them has a story that is no less than heartbreaking, thrilling, beautiful, or painful. This book is proof that old books are just as good stories as any modern book, and you NEED to read this if you ever crave adventure, true love, or if you just need a book that you will read and re-read over and over!

Refugee

Refugee

By Alan Gratz

This book is amazing! It is about three different kids escaping their home countries to freedom. Isabel, a Cuban girl, is escaping in a small boat with her pregnant mother on board. The boat is built by family friends that were willing to lend a helping hand. Mahmoud, a Syrian boy, is escaping by foot and boat. He goes through many hard times on his long journey to Europe. Josef, a Jew, is escaping Nazi, Germany with his mother, father, and little sister Ruthie. He goes through challenges regarding his father who was captured and taken to a concentration camp where he was scarred for life. I made a connection to this book because I have read other books by Alan Gratz and with similar war-like themes. I would give this book a five-star rating because it is so enticing and makes you want to keep reading. I would recommend this book to 5th-7th graders.

Zeus the Mighty: The Quest for the Golden Fleas (Book 1)

By Crispin Boyer

If you like Greek mythology (and cute pets), then this is the book for you! Zeus the hamster has to go on a quest of epic proportions to try to obtain the golden fleece (fleas), which is a symbol of power. While he is on his journey, he faces many dangers, including vicious Harpies, a sea monster, and a 'dragon'! And, to make matters worse, Zeus's fellow gods might start a mutiny! Can Zeus get the fleece to enforce his position or, a better question, can he make it out alive? Read this book to find out! Personally, I enjoyed reading this novel and, even if it could get slightly boring at times, overall it was a great read.

Escaping Peril (Wings of Fire, Book 8)

Escaping Peril (Wings of Fire, Book 8)

By Tui T. Sutherland

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…

Now it looks like the secret might come out, and Nikki would stay up day and night to keep that from happening. Now when there is a school talent show coming up with a school scholarship as a prize, the timing seems perfect. Nikki loves performing (singing, dancing) and now she has to round up a bunch of friends to help her free her dad from his obligation(and free herself from her bad reputation)!
