Calix and the Three Wicked Lizards

Calix and the Three Wicked Lizards

By Kondos, Carolyn

What a magical story that I think kids will really enjoy! I have read many children's books that are centered around the number 3 and basic retellings of classic fairy tales. Carolyn seems to be doing just that by pulling in elements from stories like Hansel and Gretel, Little Red Riding Hood, The Three Little Pigs, and maybe others that I'm just not recognizing! I really enjoyed reading this book! I especially loved the part where the lizards were meant to help Calix by competing in an eating contest! I’m sure kids will get a kick out of it. I won't give away too many details for others who would like to read it, but I hope others see the value in this story too. It can be a great teaching tool for kids, like understanding patience and perseverance in a difficult situation. I also love that the author is doing this to encourage her own children to follow their dreams and teaching them that they are capable of doing anything they set their minds too.

Woodsong

By Gary Paulsen

My students really enjoyed Paulsen's stories. They found them entertaining as well as educational about the "woods", They especially loved reading about his experience in the Iditarod. We follow the current Iditarod while we read Paulsen's tale. They loved learning about the Iditarod as well.

Goosebumps Wanted: The Haunted Mask

By R.L. Stine

Goosebumps the Haunted Mask by R.L Stine is a horror novel that follows a girl named Carly that gets scared by everyone but now wants to be the one to scare people so she buys a haunted mask that comes with some unknown side effects. This novel is about learning how to just accept who you are as a person. This novel did a great job at showing the true horror of a haunted mask and it had some great twists too. I would recommend this book as a 4 out of 5 stars.

“A bone chilling tale not to be ignored” In my opinion this book shows the characters emotions and actions very detailed throughout the whole story. This book is great for someone who loves to be on the edge of the seat and wanting to keep reading no matter what. I would recommend this book to someone because the book has really detailed actions and emotions and shows what war and places were like back in WW2 time period.

Hitler Youth: Growing Up in Hitler's Shadow

Hitler Youth: Growing Up in Hitler's Shadow

By Susan Campbell Bartoletti

I liked this book because of all the topics addressed including manipulation, politics and war. she also made a good point about how they had to un-brainwashed kids. Hitler once said “ I began with the young ones, the older are all used up” this quote represents the subject matter of the book. Miles
