The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (picture book edition) (Narnia)
By C. S. Lewis, Hiawyn Oram
I recommend this book to people who love fantasy and fiction. What I loved about this book is that it had tons of figurative language, which made me feel like I was there with the characters . I like that in a book. If you wanna read this book, do it!
Zebra Forest
By Adina Rishe Gewirtz
I rate this book as fair since I enjoy reading the details the author writes to describe everything. I can feel as if I am in the book, experiencing everything with all the characters. She makes me have reactions and predictions to the book, especially in the end of chapter 34. Chapter 34 is when Rew runs away from their house, into the “Zebra”, the forest their house is surrounded in. Annie, her grandmother, and Snow chase after Rew during the night, and during a thunderstorm. Annie returns first, and when she sees Rew, Snow, and her grandmother return, page 182 makes me strongly react in a certain way. Page 182 says, “...Andrew Snow...I saw him, dirty and grim. He was carrying Gran.” When I read this, I have to read it over since it makes me scared. Before I read on, I thought that a tragic event happened to Gran. I also appreciate that the protagonist, Annie, has a younger brother named Rew, who has a unique personality, but I don’t appreciate the way Annie emotionally reacts to events. When Andrew Snow, Annie’s dad who lived in jail escaped from jail, held Annie, Rew, and their guardian, their grandmother, hostage in their own house, Rew reacts as most children would do. He reacts violently and angrily since nobody is telling the police about Snow’s escape from jail. Annie doesn’t do anything, even when Rew makes a letter and asks her to put it in the mailbox when Snow allows her to leave the house. Annie hides the letter and lies to Rew instead since she doesn’t want Snow to go. Annie thinks that Snow was a trustworthy person to be around, but Rew is smarter and knows that he can be dangerous, since the reason that he was sent to jail was that he killed a person. Annie’s grandmother doesn’t do anything either, but for an acceptable reason. She doesn’t want to hear Snow talk to her since she’s disappointed in her son, and Snow keeps trying to ask her questions that she doesn’t want to answer. I partially admire Gran’s personality, while partially disliking it. My favorite thing that I admire about her is that even though she’s experienced at taking care of Annie and Rew, she also can care for herself. When Snow holds her family hostage, she doesn’t talk to anybody, leaving Annie and Rew to take care of themselves. I think that it’s smart to sometimes help yourself first since Gran works hard to take care of Annie and Rew, and can use a break. Gran hides in her room for a long time so Snow doesn’t bother her, which teaches Annie and Rew how to be responsible during these types of situations. My least favorite thing about Gran is that she lies frequently, has a large amount of practice, and uses it to protect information that can should be shared. For example, before Snow came, Gran tells Annie and Rew that their father was killed by an angry man who was sent to jail. It was actually the opposite. Their father killed an angry man and was sent to jail. I believe that Annie and Rew can handle knowing about this since they deserve to know about their own father. Also, when Snow first came to hide in their house, Rew thought that Gran was lying and became extremely violent and angry, since he didn’t believe that Snow was his father at first.
Heck: Where the Bad Kids Go
By Dale E. Basye
One day, 11-year old Milton Fauster and his 13-year old sister Marlo are in the Grizzly Mall of Generica, Kansas. They go into a store where Marlo shoplifts some lip gloss, which she surreptitiously stashes in Milton's backpack without his knowledge. A mall security officer spots this, and tries to accost the two. As Marlo and Milton are running through the mall with the security guard chasing them, Milton realizes Marlo tricked him into being an accomplice. Pausing for a moment in front of a giant marshmallow statue of a Grizzly Bear, and Milton spots Damian Ruffino, his extremely unhygienic tormentor, school bully, and all -around delinquent, sticking dynamite in the marshmallow grizzly's behind. Before the mall security guards can catch up with them, the marshmallow grizzly bear explodes prematurely, and Milton, Marlo, and Damian all die. The last thing they see is flaming marshmallow all over the mall. The next thing they know, Milton and Marlo are holding hands and plummeting downward and Milton feels a slight sting. When he and Marlo land, they find themselves in Limbo, the waiting area for the Nine Circles of Heck, which include Rapacia, Blimpo, Fibble, Snivel, Precocia, Lipptor (Wise Acres), Sadia, and Dupli-City. Because of her sins (e.g., the shoplifting) Marlo has been sent to a sort of "lite" version of Hell reserved for bad kids, called "Heck"; Milton, apparently, has been judged guilty by association and sent there with his sister. Processed through the afterlife's terrible bureaucracy, Marlo and Milton are conveyed to a nightmare of a school in Heck, presided over by principal Bea "Elsa" Bubb, who torments her charges with pretty much the worse things they can imagine in a school. Milton and Marlo are separated and Milton meets Virgil, who befriends him, and the two plot an escape from heck and return to Earth and the land of the living. But Damien, who has been bad enough that he has started to rise in the hierarchy of Heck, is sent after them and foils their plans, landing them back in Heck. Marlo, meanwhile, has been causing her own brand of chaos by organizing a resistance among the girls in the heckish school, causing Principal Bubb to decide that the Fauster siblings are problem children. She decides to deal with them by sending them to the next lower circle of Heck: Rapacia.
YO-KAI WATCH, Vol. 1
By Noriyuki Konishi
Yo-Kai Watch is the best graphic novel ever! I'm currently on Chapter 3, where Wazzat is introduced. But I lent my copy of Yo-Kai Watch to my friend, who also likes Yo-Kai Watch. On the game, Wazzat makes you forget things. I feel like I'm inspirited by Wazzat all the time. I can't wait to read Chapter 3, as soon as my friend gives my copy back. I also watch the TV show of Yo-Kai Watch. I love it! I really don't know how I got into it, anyway, but I just saw it on TV, so I thought it was kinda like Pokemon. And I love Pokemon, so I figured, "If this "Yo-Kai Watch" is like Pokemon, and I like Pokemon, so why not take a chance?" My favorite Yo-Kai are Baddinyan, Roughraff, Frostina, and Blizzardia. Baddinyan is made when you fuse Roughraff and Jibanyan together. All you have to do is go and see Mr. Zen in Blossom Heights. But you have to complete a certain quest or something to be able to fuse. Roughraff can evolve into Baddude, a bigger, tougher version of Roughraff. Frostina, who you may know by name if you went into Downtown Springdale. There's an alley behind a minor shop named Frostina's Place Back Alleyway. Blizzardia, I've never actually seen before, I know her from off the Internet. I really want to catch her. Not to change the subject, but if you guys can't catch Komajiro inside the Old Mansion, you can try your luck in the Crank-a-Kai. Just go up to Mount Wildwood, until you reach the temple. Then you'll have a fork in the road. There's a pond and a statue(spread apart, one's on the left, the other's on the right) near the entrance. Take the path with the pond at the front and keep going straight through. If you have just started the game, you won't be albe to use the Crank-a-Kai yet. But if you are not at the beginning, go all the way to the Sacred Tree. The Crank-a-Kai will be there, if you haven't used it already. Use a few coins, and that's what strategy I used to get Komajiro. There's a little tip for you guys, too. BYE FOR NOW!
Colibri
By Ann Cameron
Colibri, by Ann Cameron, is a heart-wrenching story of a young 12 girl who is kidnapped from her parents and then forced to travel with a thieving, cruel, cold-hearted man she must call “Uncle.” Set in modern day Guatemala in the aftermath of the Civil War, ‘Uncle” and “Rosa” travel throughout the country begging and stealing, never staying in one village very long. “Rosa” does not know who her parents are, or how to find them, since she was only 4 years old when she was taken from them. She does remember the loving nickname her mother gave to her, “Colibri,” “hummingbird” in Spanish, a beautiful symbol of fearlessness and strength. In one village, Colibri meets a wise old woman who changes her life. The woman helps Colibri see she is living with a “divided heart” and must choose who to love and trust and how to find a better place in the world. Colibri must find her voice and face her greatest fears without letting them completely engulf her. I really loved this book, but it made me so sad to learn about another girl’s suffering and fears. And yet I was inspired by her determination and strength.

30 Days of No Gossip
By Stephanie Faris
I haven't read it, and I probably never will. It's the ultimate girl book. It has all the things I hate in books. I hate books about gossip, I hate books about crushes (I'm not sure if it's about crushes, but it definitely has crushes in it), and I hate books about girls. But I might read to confirm the fact I don't like it.

So he went to a muddy marsh with his friend, and they found Max's brother. Soon enough, Max's parents told him, that his brother got stuck, and they couldn't get him out. He had been in that marsh for years. So for safety reasons, they moved far away from the marsh, but Max escaped and got away. He figured out how to get his brother out, by blasting him with dirt, to blast off the mud. After that, they both actually got to see each other without involving mud. Max wants to go on adventures with his brother, but his brother isn't planning on going near mud ever again. I can't wait until the next book comes out!
