Going Solo

Going Solo

By Roald DAHL

This book is about Roald Dahl journey to Africa as a worker for Shell and him joining the war and serving as a pilot. It starts off in 1938, he is a worker for shell and he's sailing on a ship called SS Mantola to Africa. On the way he sees some strange, funny things going on. When he gets to Dar es Salaam, the city they're going to, he thinks that it's a very nice looking place. There was a lot of wildlife there, he saw many elephants, hippos, zebras, and antelopes there. The only animal he didn't like was snakes, he hated them a lot, especially the black mamba, one bite from one of those snakes and you will die. One time he was shaving in the bathroom, and he looked out the window and saw his shamba-boy, Salimu raking, and then he saw a black mamba coming right at him, and if he hadn't warned him about the snake behind him, he wouldn't been bitten and died. When he was in the military serving as a pilot, his airplane crashed once and he suffered injuries that would affect him for the rest of his life. This book has many adventures from his journey, it is a very interesting book and I would recommend this book to anyone looking or a good non-fiction book to read.

Wonkenstein (The Creature from My Closet, No. 1)

Wonkenstein (The Creature from My Closet, No. 1)

By Obert Skye

This is the first book to the most HILARIOUS series I've ever read! 12-year-old Robert Columbo Burnside experimented with ordinary house items in his door-less closet, making it a big MESS. And when his mother gave him tons and tons of books to read, well, he just threw them into the chaos of a closet. Rob's dad came home with a weirdly shaped door and fitted it on his closet (where it stayed), proclaiming it looked just right. The door has an EMBARRASSING unicorn sticker on it that just would not come off, and a doorknob with a face that Rob named Beardy. But lo and behold, Beardy locked Rob out of his closet! When Rob finally gets back in, he discovers a little creature that was a, shall I say, interesting cross between Willy Wonka and Frankenstein. Rob stumbles into an adventure led by little Wonk, who grows his toes and is always ready to pull a prank. If there was anything Rob learned, it's that books aren't always what they seem! --BKS reviews

The School for Good and Evil #2: A World without Princes

The School for Good and Evil #2: A World without Princes

By Soman Chainani

First of all I want to say thank you. Second of all I want to say it was very exciting, adventurous, and it fits right next to the School of Good and Evil #1 book. I recommend you to read the first book first and then read it so it'll make more sense. It starts off with Sophie and Agatha planning the musical, and Sophie is frustrated. Later Agatha finds out that Sophie's is in danger... by the boys... yes the princes I mean. But before that Agatha made a wish for Tedros. Agatha and Sophie has to find a way out of their trouble by the princes ... or else... DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNNNN. The princes want Sophie dead or alive since in the first book Agatha chose Sophie instead of Tedros (that's why you should read the first book first, then the second so it'll make more sense). Agatha's choice made a big uproar, and all the girls or princesses no longer cared for the princes. With teamwork and a bit of friendship, do yo think they can solve their conflict? It's up to you to read and find out. So I recommend you to READ IT, I don't know which book was better the first or second book, but it was definitely an adventurous page turner.

After Ever After

This book is a bout Jeffery an 8th grade student who is a cancer survivor,Tad, Jeffery's friend, who hasn't been qualified as a cancer survivor yet.

But you have to read the book to get the real effect.

Danger Is Everywhere: A Handbook for Avoiding Danger

Danger Is Everywhere: A Handbook for Avoiding Danger

By David O'Doherty

Before reading this life-saving book and this review, you would have never thought that DANGER IS EVERYWHERE. You just don't take the time to think that, "Oh no, I better sleep in a bathtub today so I would be safe in case there's a flood!" or, "I should wear my garlic necklaces today in case the sub turns out to be a vampire!" This book is here for that purpose - Docter Noel Zone would like to warn everywhere that the world is full of danger, and he will carefully instruct you how to avoid it in this well-crafted handbook. This is the best handbook I have seen in years - it has precise instructions, pictures to go along with the steps, and surprises that will make you jump out of your seat (why didn't you pick a safe place to sit?) and more! Here are a few things to remember before reading this book (CAUTION, CAUTION): (1) make sure you are reading this book in a secure spot (2) check under the bed or the chair for any suspicious pets that could eat you (3) slowly turn the pages until you get to page 9 (4) stomp on the book until the page 9 scorpion has been squelched (5) sit back down and try to enjoy the book without having to stop reading because it is too frightening. There is an emergency TEPOC (the emergency page of calm) in case you are in urgent need, and another warning is that there are a lot of acronyms in this book. This is because if you are in an emergency (for example: a bear is attacking you) you don't have time to say, "OH MY GOSH A BEAR IS ATTACKING ME HELP SOMEBODY MOMMMYYYYY!" because then you would already be eaten. The correct way to handle a situation like this is to dance and say, "TIABA! TIABA!" (This is a bear alert!) Reader Tip: Put a spare bookmark in the acronym page, you'll need a photographic memory to memorize them all ;) It all started one day when Docter Noel Zone was a lifeguard at a swimming pool. It was a fine day until Docter Noel Zone noticed all the danger that could happen! So he set some new rules into place and no one came to the swimming pool again, but hey, that doesn't matter if you're safe? Right? :thumbs up: Even though Docter Noel Zone's first priority is safety, he knows how to have fun! He's just a regular guy (with extreme safety concerns) with pets, favorite foods, and the whole package! Here's a way to cook toast (Docter Noel's favorite food!) safely! First, put it in the toaster and back away from it. Wait 3 hours and then carefully pry it out from the toaster, using a safety device like toilet paper wrapped around your hands. Put it on your plate and wait another 3 hours. A perfect breakfast -- oops, it's lunch already! And check out some of Docter Noel's dance moves! Here is one dedicated to his pet Dennis, who is a stone! The dance move is called, "The Stone." Instead of "The Worm," which is VERY dangerous indeed, in "The Stone," you just have one not dangerous at all step! It is: (1) lie down carefully and delicately, and stay there with your eyes open as wide as you can. (2) That's it! Docter Noel Zone also tells you how to act in real emergencies! For example, there is a PIRATE on your school bus! (Forewarning: Pirates like to dress up as crossing guards..) (1) Pretend to speak in the language of the Pirates (I already gave away too much, so I'm not telling you this one until you read the book, arrr matey!) (2) Give them a treasure map LEADING AWAY FROM THE BUS. (3) You're a hero! And note of advice, vampires like to dress up as subs (not submarines, the teachers), so watch out if they ride segways! They might be vampires! But the most dangerous vehicle of all is the.. bicycle! But Gretel from the cabbage cabin rides one.. :swoons: :cues romantic music: Ahh, Gretel.. Cabbages+Pretty Girl = True Love.. :snaps out of it: Anyway, Docter Noel Zone has removed all bicyles and dangerous equipment in his yard.. and covered it with concrete. WHY?!??!?!?!??!? That makes it more dangerous??!?!??! Sometimes you don't have common sense.. Docter. In this hilarious, imaginative, creative book, you will learn A LOT of cool stuff, like how to chase away pirates, and how to ward off vampires, and how to prepare toast properly.. on and on! You might find this stuff ironic or funny or not take it seriously, but these tips might help you later in life! There's also a DETBAFOD at the end, a little "test" to show if you can become a Dangerologist (LEVEL 1) and have a chance at beating Docter Noel Zone at the title, "Best and Only Dangerologist". So there you have it - good luck, POD (pupils of Dangerology) Grade - B+ ~FelicisOwl (Dangerologist Level 3 - printed the test three time XDDD)

Cloaked in Red

Cloaked in Red

By Vivian Vande Velde

If you think the story of little red riding hood is ridiculous, I recommend this book. Even if you don't, it's still amusing and pretty funny to read about all the different ways the author thinks it could have gone down. I recommend this book for kids 10-16 depending on your interests. Make sure you read the authors notes at the very beginning because it's hilarious, and it explains why she rewrote the story multiple times in more realistic, but funny ways.
