Return of the Homework Machine

Return of the Homework Machine

By Dan Gutman

When it comes to homework, it's boring for kids. But when a 5th grader Brenton created a machine to create homework with all the correct answers in your handwriting, I was inspired to read the Homework machine. I loved it. From the start to the end, I was attentive to all details, like when Brenton and Judy went out. I highly recommend the sequel, which has blown my mind. At the end of the school year in the 1st book, they threw away the machine in the Grand Canyon. But Brenton is suspicious when a blinking red light was in the computer drive and kept on blinking, even if it was plugged off. So they have to destroy it before it can be of harm.

Something Like Fate

Something Like Fate

By Susane Colasanti

Fate- The development of events beyond a person's control, regarded as determined by a supernatural power. This book is called Something like fate by Susane Colasanti. The title really goes with the setting and everything in the book. If you’re someone that likes and or is fascinated by horoscopes and or zodiac signs I would definitely recommend this book to you. This book does have a lot of mature words and scenes a some points. The main characters in this book are Lani, Jason, Erin, and Blake. The main settings are the high school and Lani’s house. I am estimating that the time time period would be in 2010 based on when the book was published. The protagonists would definitely be Lani and Jason and the antagonist would be Erin. Two MAJOR conflicts would be when Jason breaks up with Erin over mail and when Jason agrees that Lani and Jason won’t talk to each other ever again. A turning point would be when Lani and Erin meet each other and have a fight but them make up and Erin agrees to let Lani and Jason be together. In the beginning of the book Lani is in eleventh grade but for the most part she is in twelfth. In the beginning of the book Erin and Jason are dating. Over the summer when Erin goes to summer camp Lani starts to fall in love with Jason. Blake is also one of Lani's friends. Blake is gay and no one knows except for Lani. But that changes when Lani accidentally blurbs it out to Jason. Blake is verbally abused by his dad. Blake doesn't want his dad to know or else he would be very mad. There is a rumor around school that Blake is gay, when his dad finds out his dad kicks him out of the house. Blake never thought that his dad could get that mad. Blake sleeps over Lani's house for one day but when Lani's mom calls child protection services Blake has to go live with his uncle. It's only 45 minutes away but Blake can still go to the same school. Later on Jason sends Erin a letter to her summer camp saying that he was breaking up with her. While Erin is gone Lani and Jason have more time to get to know each other. Jason and Lani go on a date on the fourth of July and have they’re first kiss. At the end of the summer when Erin comes back she is devastated when she finally finds out that Lani “stole” her boyfriend. Erin is instantly raging that they’re together. Lani makes a promise to Erin that she won’t see or talk to Jason at ALL! Mostly because Lani thinks that Erin doesn’t need to be hurt anymore. Erin is still mad at Lani later in the book. Jason walks up to Lani and everybody is watching them, Jason tells Lani that he can’t wait anymore and he wants to be with her. Right then and there everything changes for her. But you’ll have to read this book for yourself to find out what happens next. This book is really romantic, heartfelt and intense. When I was reading it I would read it all the time. Every flip of a page made my heart beat faster in every second as I was reading with all of the excitement. I would also recommend this book to readers that like intense romantic books also fiction books. All I know is that I loved this book and that you should experience all of the exhilaration and excitement in this book. This is probably one of the best books I’ve read so far.

Clover loves science and is quiet, while Danny fills in the chat and loves art. Clover has a theory that Danny and her are symbiotic, which means they can’t function without one another.

He is gone for weeks at the hospital, leaving Clover alone at school. The doctors still can’t find out what his illness is, but it is only getting worse. Clover starts taking notes as well, to figure out what is wrong. After a few hypotheses, she theorizes she makes Danny feel better. Whenever she is around him, he feels better. Together they find out Danny’s ancestors also suffered from this disease, and finds out they went to a special care facility to cure them. They plan to travel there alone so Danny can get better, but it might be too late. Will Danny make it and live? Or will Clover suffer from such a big blow to her life? To find out read The Someday Suitcase, which I give 5 stars. This was such a heartwarming book and I recommend it to anyone who loves a book filled with hope.

We learned that all dinosaurs are different shapes and sizes but the biggest was bigger than big and taller than tall.

Revolting Rhymes and Dirty Beasts

Revolting Rhymes and Dirty Beasts

By Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl has written a very.......interesting book (Revolting Rhymes) twisting old nursery rhymes and beloved classical stories into funny and somewhat........demented rhymes. Dirty Beasts is just a collection of little stories concerning different animals and the mishaps and tragic endings of a few people. I would recommend this book to ages 10 or 11+

The Year of Billy Miller

The Year of Billy Miller

By Kevin Henkes

The skull

this book has three parts: Father, sister and mother. When billy enters 2nd grade he thinks he is not smart enough and a gril named Emma Sparks boasts about her self. But the story doesen't take place all at school there are scenes at home to. I Recommend this book because it is just a really nice book to read. At first I didn't want to read it because I was reading Rangers Apprentice but it turned out to be a good book so I suggest you stop reading this and go read The Year Of Billy Miller. Bye!
