Virgil: Eleven-year-old Virgil Salinas isn’t the person everyone wants him to be. He’s shy, stutters a lot, and is nicknamed “Turtle” by his parents. He can’t do the multiplication tables, which is why he has to go to the resource room at school. And to make matters worse, the meanest bully in sixth grade, Chet Bullens, has himself set on tormenting Virgil for the rest of his life. He does have one good friend, though. Kaori Tanaka, a girl who believes in zodiac signs and the saying, “nothing is a coincidence”, has always comforted Virgil and helped him out with his problems. But when Chet does a terrible thing to him, she might be too late to save her friend. Valencia: Ever since she was a baby, Valencia Somerset has been deaf. She doesn’t have any friends because of this, but she likes it that way. For her, feeding and hanging out with animals is easier than talking to other people. Alone is always better, right? But soon, she might have to reconsider her thoughts about being alone. When she sees a sign inside the grocery store, with “Kaori Tanaka” written on it, Valencia is curious, and goes to Kaori’s house. There, she finds Kaori anxious and pacing around, because she had arranged for her friend, Virgil, to come to her house, but he was missing. Valencia is thrown into the mystery...and she must help out however she can. Kaori: Kaori Tanaka believes in signs and fate, but not in coincidence. When Virgil doesn’t show up at her house, she’s surprised. He is normally on time, so what—or who—happened to delay him? She and her seven-year-old sister Gen, along with the girl Valencia, are on the case. But when they find Chet Bullens, the biggest bully of all time, they know he has something to do with Virgil’s disappearance...and they have to find out what he did. When their paths cross, Kaori knows it’s more than a coincidence. Can she, Valencia, and Gen solve the mystery? Read this book to find out!

it is a romatic anime

A whimsical, strange, and absurd book this is, about a child with floating abilities. Barnaby was born on a Friday at 12 a.m. and has floated for many years. His parents are in quite a situation: they try sending him to The Graveling Academy for Unwanted Children but it burns down in a massive fire that nearly kills him. They send him to the neighborhood school; strangely, he gets in the newspapers for first being the 10 millionth person to climb the Sydney Harbor Bridge, and subsequently for his quaint floating condition. The two parents agree to get rid of Barnaby, and it is his mother who finally cuts off his sandbags, which normally prevent him from floating, and leaves him to float to his doom. Now the story starts getting interesting: Barnaby is picked up by two women who own a coffee farm in Brazil. The rest of the book is spent detailing Barnaby's attempts to get back home to Sydney. Somehow, things keep happening, thus ruining his chances of getting on the flight to Sydney. This book is so weird that it was funny: the fact that the principal would allow a teacher to take their students to climb a bridge is unbelievable. Additionally, the author's humor was fun to read. However, the book was repetitive, stressing the same simple theme again and again, which, of course, is "be yourself". Many things don't scientifically make sense: for example, it is stated somewhere that Barnaby floated up to a spacecraft–this does not make sense because he would have died before that. Also, it is just frustrating how in that same exact chapter the astronauts keep saying "We are in middle space". There is no such thing as middle space and it means that the author does not know a lot about astronomy. But all in all, THE TERRIBLE THING THAT HAPPENED TO BARNABY BROCKET was one of the better books I've read.

The plague has killed everyone except people under the age of 12., and now Lisa Nelson and her brother Todd just want to survive. Lisa has lots of nice ideas, and this is because she thinks a lot. She has already gotten many supplies from supermarkets and abandoned houses and is constantly thinking of more places. The main part of the book starts when she decides that Grand Avenue needs a militia to protect them from marauding gangs. First, they install defense measures, then they start training to fight and defend their home, Grandville, as they are now calling it. The city in the title gets started when Lisa discovers that the local Glenbard High School is easier to defend than Granville. Taking charge as the leader, with Charlie Craig and Jill, three other important characters, as council members, she decides to build a settlement of children who want safety. Many gangs attack and are repelled; however, the Chidester Gang is particularly stubborn and threatens to conquer the City of Glenbard. For me, the book was a little too direct and non-descriptive. Nevertheless, the story is quite relatable even though it was written during the seventies, and the themes(self-reliance and leadership) were complex enough and portrayed pretty well. An issue with this book was that the climax was only 40 pages whereas the rest of the book talked about building the city. This book is good for people who like action and adventure.

The book "Among the Enemy" is an enthralling novel that always kept me at the edge of my seat. The main character is an illegal child. Yet he sacrifices himself to save his best friends and people like him. He is met with challenges and overcomes them with the help of friends of all ages. I highly recommend this realistic fiction story and I hope you will too.

Title: Dolphin Adventure Author: Wayne Grover Genre Autobiography I would rate this book a ⅖ because it has so much more to offer i feel as though this experience could be more exciting instead of saving a dolphin imagine saving a shark. Some parts of this book are interesting, for example when the father dolphin bolts into the shark to save the baby. I recommend this book to 2nd to 5th because it could be a good challenge for 2nd grade but something easier for a 5 grader.

I really think this is a good book. It teaches the reader the primary color and how they make other colors. I like the books nice illustrations and how the mouse we're having so much fun and discovered new things and colors. This book is very fun and colorful. This book is a great book.

I really enjoyed this book, It makes what would usually be boring stuff, very fun! There are tons and tons of weird and unusual facts about your body, you probably never even knew! This is a good book to read if you like weird, silly, and VERY unusual things! Or.. if you just enjoy learning about the human body or just learning facts.
