Space Rocks!

Space Rocks!

By Tom O'Donnell

Although it does drag on in the first 5-6 chapters, "Space Rocks" is a hilarious, grasping read with incredible plot twists. Chorkle is part of the Xotonian race living in Gelo, an asteroid that, until a couple of months ago, has never been invaded by anyone, let alone humans. When Chorkle spots some human offspring in Jehe Canyon, little does he know that these four little fur-heads would change Xotonian history forever. Within the next few months, he accidentally causes their mothership to have an emergency take-off (all because of Feeney’s Original Astronaut Ice Cream!) and the four little two-eyed humans are left stranded on Gelo. Chorkle tries to help them out...but what would you do if a five-eyed alien who deserted you in space offers his guidance? On an epic attempt of survival, Chorkle leads Becky, a bossy twelve-year-old who hates Chorkle the moment she lays her eyes on him; Nicky, Becky's identical twin who's obsessed with fungi (although she does have her ways with computers); Hollins, a thirteen-year-old boy who doesn't stop quoting Teddy Roosevelt; and Little Gus, who is simply awesomeness wrapped up in a ten-year-old. With Chorkle's help, these four find a way to keep breathing their beloved oxygen, fight ferocious thyss cats, and hide from the rest of the Xotonians who would surely imprison them if they were to find them. On top of all that, they eventually become oog-ball legends, go to the top of Dynusk’s Column, and even get to ride Usk Lizards!

By Clay McLeod Chapman

I am really interested in this kind of book, and I probably wouldn't join the tribe. This book seems very interesting and exciting. I would buy this book if I didn't win.

Secrets to Ruling School (Without Even Trying) (Secrets to Ruling School #1) (The Secrets to Ruling School)

Secrets to Ruling School (Without Even Trying) (Secrets to Ruling School #1) (The Secrets to Ruling School)

By Neil Swaab

I didn't like this book very much. I don't think that the point of the book was very good. I think that Max Corrigan is not a good kid and is trying to hide it. I do not recommend this book. It is also boring.

Middle School Nerd Avengers: Rise of the Nerds (Volume 1)

By M.P. Rolland

Faizan

The book was good, but the nerd avengers didnt actually fight the bullies or anything. They just sneaked into a backyard and got caught. Liked the fact that Bernie starts passing gas when he is nervous.Very funny and quite realistic too.

Malcolm at Midnight

Malcolm at Midnight

By W. H. Beck

Malcolm is a rat undergoing a bit of an identity crisis, you see. Everyone thinks him a mouse because of his size, so he has gone from being on sale as python food to a comfy classroom pet. Then he meets the Midnight Academy during his first adventure outside the classroom. They are a secret society of classroom pets dedicated to keeping the kids of the school safe. They automatically assume he is a mouse too. His rat pride is yelling at him to tell them he is a rat, but rats have a terrible reputation: they are lying, skiving, thieving and selfish rats. When the Midnight Academy takes him on as a pledge, Malcolm is determined to prove that rats can be good too (excusing his lying about being a mouse), and tries really hard to be the fifth-grader he wants to be, one with merit and valor! However, almost everything he does leads the Midnight Academy’s second in command to think he is working with Snip - the cat who is terrorizing their school. And when Aggy the Iguana - the leader of the Midnight Academy - is kidnapped and all evidence points to him, he is locked in his cage. But Malcolm has nutter (kid) friends too and now it’s up to him (with encouragement from the nutters) to stop Snip from carrying out his evil plan, whatever that may be, find Aggy, be the fifth-grader he wants to be, and find Mr. Benny’s engagement ring. This book is a brilliant mystery and has characters with fully developed personalities. I think it will really appeal to fans of Humphrey the Hamster and other stories about animal/bug heroes. It is full of wit, humor, distrust and is all about learning who you really are and being who you want to be. After all, a critter reveals his true self at midnight.

Diary of a Worm

Diary of a Worm

By Doreen Cronin

Dairy of a worm by Doreen Cronin is a book about a worm telling all of what happened every month.It's very funny because the worm eats his homework because he forgot his lunch. He thinks digging tunnels helps the earth breathe. This book is great for kids because it's very funny. The worm is the main character he is in all pages. My favorite part was the first two pages it was the funniest. You should read this book it's very good so go to the library and get the book. It's great for all ages.😉

Ophelia and the Marvelous Boy

Ophelia and the Marvelous Boy

By Karen Foxlee

Warning this review may contain spoilers! Ophelia finds this magical boy locked inside a room in a museum and agrees to help him with magical a quest. What I thought of it: Well, I read it awhile ago so I don't remember it very well. I do remember that everything that was supposed to be a "secret' or what not was pretty obvious. I knew from the start that the museum lady was the Snow Queen. I also figured that Ophelia was the special person (I can't remember the name they used at this exact moment). Also, I quickly figured out that Alice was going to be put into the machine. So yeah, everything was obvious. Also Ophelia was just plain annoying. She just went around saying that she didn't believe in magic because she was too smart to believe in magic. Well honestly, she wasn't that smart. She just came off as snotty. And she was boring too. The author tried to make her seem quirky and what not, but all that she did was take her inhaler. She literally took it like 4 times a day. The author must of not done much research because once you take your inhaler, you're supposed to wait 4 to 6 hours before taking it again. And this book wasn't very well written. Also, I was disappointed that we never learned the Marvelous Boy's name. Overall, it was boring and predicable. I've read a lot of books that were just like it.

Please Write in this Book

By Mary Amato

Marcy

The teacher put a book in the Writer's Corner. So what? Well, I'll rephrase the sentence. The teacher hid the book in The Writer's corner. And she leaves some instructions inside. The best way to rephrase it is: If you find this book, you can write anything you like. You can draw pictures, tell jokes, and pretty much anything. So the first person to find the book is Lizzy. She hopes that only girls will find it. Then more people start finding it. Such as: Milton; the class nerd who likes everyone to stick to the facts, Luke; the class clown, Jimmy; a boy who doesn't like to write, Kira; Lizzy's friend, and more. Soon enough, Lizzy gets hypercritical and makes rules that she herself won't follow. And Luke makes mean jokes even when people tell him to stop. And what about the other kids? Jimmy is deffinetly on Luke's side. Kira is no doubt on Lizzy's side, and Milton just wants everyone to stick with the facts. But the journal might have a way to bring the entire class together.
