Frindle

Frindle

By HARCOURT SCHOOL PUBLISHERS

I love the book Frindle because it is just a funny short book about a not thinks that he can name a pen frindle because they had a lesson on how names don't have a definition on everything. So the boy decided to make "pen" frindle instead. The author ( Andrew Clements) make very relatable children books! (You should DEFINITELY read at least one of his books!)

Naruto, Vol. 1: The Tests of the Ninja

Naruto, Vol. 1: The Tests of the Ninja

By Masashi Kishimoto

Naruto is a great book you should read. It is about a young boy named Naruto Uzumaki who has a 9 Tailed Beast (Bijuu) inside him (the bijuu's/beast's name is Kurama). He is separated from the other kids because they think of him as the beast, not as the one who keeps it in their body. His goal is to be the greatest hokage (ninja president in their village). He fails the exam to become a ninja again, but later his sensei Iruka is about to get killed by another person, Mizuki. Naruto does a "jutsu" (basically magic powers) to clone himself 999 other times. He defeats Mizuki and Iruka gives him a ninja headband, which proves he is a ninja. The next day all the Genin (the lowest ninja rank other than the academy student) are separated into squads of 4 (one sensei and 3 genin). He is put with his crush Sakura, but his rival, Sasuke. Sasuke has no family just like Naruto, but he has one brother. His brother destroyed his entire clan (family) and Sasuke wants vengence. Sakura isn't very important, since she only cares about getting with Sasuke. Their ninja teacher, is Kakashi Hatake. It is a great book!

The Honest Truth

The Honest Truth

By Dan Gemeinhart

I've seen this book many times, and considered buying the same amount of times. For some reason I never did. Maybe subconsciously, my mind knew what a writer Gemeinhart is, and tried to spare me the tears that slipped out during the heartbreaking yet empowering moments. Maybe it was trying to stop me from reading an all too realistic and sad book that really hits close to home. Despite the endless list of "maybes," one thing's the truth. Mark, Beau, and Jessie are true friends and true fighters. And on top of that, I really wish I had picked up this book sooner, because once I did, there was no letting it down. That's the honest truth.

Elijah of Buxton

The book i'm reviewing is called Elijah of Buxton. Elijah of Buxton is a story about 11-year old Elijah Freeman who lives in Buxton, Canada. It is a settlement of runaways slaves near the American border. Elijah is the first child in town to be born free, so most people know about him and he is the best at chunking rocks and catching fish.

Most of the time nothing happens but everything changes when a thief steals money from Elijah's friend who is saving up to buy his family out of captivity in the south. It's now Elijahs job to track down the thief. Will he get the money back? Will he get back home? You will have to read the book and find out. This book is recommended for 10 to 12 year olds because younger people might not know what slaves are and there are injuries in this book.
