Ivy & Bean: Bound to Be Bad (Ivy & Bean, Book 5)

Ivy & Bean: Bound to Be Bad (Ivy & Bean, Book 5)

By Annie Barrows

This book’s genre is folktale and it was written by Annie Barrows.This book is about two best friends that like to be bad. At first, Bean was always bad, she was the second meanest person on the Pancake Court ( their neighborhood). In the middle, Bean was bad and since Bean is bad now. Therefore, everyone is bad. In the end, Bean got a little bit nicer. The main characters are Ivy and Bean. Bean is always mean, naughty, and a show off. Ivy is kind, sweet and has a pure heart. Also, Ivy and Bean are best friends and they both are young. Two key events that happened in the book that can be “added” to the plot is “once you are bad it will turn everyone bad.” So, I think that you can try not to be bad, so nobody will copy you. This is added to the plot because Bean is always bad but Ivy is always kind so if that Bean learns from Ivy. Bean will not be bad and she will be kind and good. The main characters change from the beginning of the story to the end of the story by, when Bean became Ivy's best friend. Ivy was sometimes mean when she just became Bean's friend. Then, when Ivy was mean sometimes, Bean learned from Ivy and now Bean is mean. At, the begnning of the story Bean and Ivy were best friends. But, they were not that much mean. They had many friends on Pancake Court. At, the end of the story Bean’s friends got bad because Bean was bad.On page 7, it states, “ Bean picked her plate and licked the streaks of the leftover syrup.” On page 85, it also states, “ I think that I’ve got the bad,” said Bean and Ivy’s friend.One unanswered question I would like to ask the author is, “ Is Bean going to stay good?” I enjoyed this because Bean is weird and bad and Ivy is always, good, kind. I would recommend this book because when Ivy and Bean were bad that makes everyone bad and I learned that to not be bad or it will affect everyone. So, I think to try not to be bad and be good. Then, everyone will copy and they will turn out to be good, if you are good.

Bunny in a Basket (Animal Ark #4)

Bunny in a Basket (Animal Ark #4)

By Ben M.; Baum, Ann Baglio

The genre of my book is realistic fiction, written by Ben M. Baglio. The story is about 2 kids. The boy is visiting his aunt with his friend and the boy’s cousin has a rabbit. The rabbit gets sick but the girl helps and it gets better. And he is able to continue in a competition for the rabbit that looks best for a picture on a chocolate bar. The main characters are Mandy Hope and James Hunter. Mandy loves animals and wants to help every single one. If an animal is injured she is kind, caring, and gentle to it.James loves animals almost as much as Mandy, but he likes dogs more than anything and is even willing to walk the naughty dog, Herring. James also likes to help Mandy with the animals. Two key events that “added” to the plot and the plot is when the dog, Herring was running around in a room full of rabbits. The first thing that added to the plot is when a girl named “Angelica Angell” kept screaming in the very noisy room which made everything worse. The second key event that “added”to the plot is when Herring the dog charged towards Mandy, but when she said STOP everyone became silent. How the main character changes is in the beginning Mandy keeps asking if she can pet Nadia’s rabbit Pixie, but then she realizes that she doesn’t want her to pet him. I know this because on page 13 it says “Can I pet him.” One unanswered question I would like to ask the author is”why he decided to make the rabbit sick when everything was going so well.” What I enjoyed most about this story is when Nadia and her rabbit, Pixie won the competition instead of the girl Angelica because a girl that likes to brag and say mean things doesn’t deserve to get a prize or to win at ALL. I would recommend this book because it has a lesson in it which is to never worry or be overprotective so much. I think the lesson of this book is to not worry too much because in the story on page 12 Nadia sounds protective when she says “Pixie doesn’t really like strangers.” but then Nadia realizes that it’s okay to let some people pet Pixie. On page 106 it states “Pixie yanked his head away from Mandy’s touch.” So then it means that Nadia had let Mandy hold her rabbit and that she wasn’t worried anymore, but Pixie pulled away because he was sick and had tooth pain.

Also she changed from the end is at first she wanted her friends to get out of her Dear Dumb Diary, but then at the end she thought it was not right to kick out her friends of there Diary that they made. Pg.126. First, they were friends together then she had a dream that they were flower’s and a bee came by and stings her. She had this dream in her sleep. One unanswered question I would like to ask is why did you not answer I focused on my mouth is it because you had expanders? No, I would not recommend this book because it just talks about her friends and the 3 musketeers and then she got the book. That just makes me annoyed when she got the book because she just wants her dad to be happy about what she did of getting this book.

The House of Dies Drear

The House of Dies Drear

By Virginia Hamilton

This magnificent book is filled with heaps of shocking adventures. However, the House of Dies Drear, at some points is very dull and boring. I was expecting this book to be very frightening but the whole plot of the book was not very creepy or alarming. The House of Dies Drear is filled with numerous adventures. One of them was when Thomas and Mr.Smalls ventured into Mr.Pluto's cave. Another adventure They had was at the beginning of the book. When Thomas went in the tunnels under the house he heard a o'ing sound. One last adventure the Smalls had was when they scared away the Darrow boys. Pluto was sick and the Darrow boys were trying to find the hidden treasure. The Smalls had to help Pluto and Mayhew protect the treasures past. The whole book was fantastic but I was expecting this book to be very spooky but the whole plot was not very creepy. At some points of the book in the book l could tell the author was trying to make it eerie but it didn't work out. Now l can see some people getting scared but to me it just didn't have that effect. Perhaps like at the beginning when it was very slow.
