Urgum and the Googoobah
By Kjartan Poskitt
This is such a funny book! At school I am reading Urgum The Axe man and that is equally funny! The reason I read this book is because of Urgum The Axe man and I got it out at the library and I really recommend this book.
Chasing King's Killer: The Hunt for Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Assassin
By James L. Swanson
I really, really, really loved this book,and I usually don't like non-fiction, biographies, or any genre of that sort. This book took me by surprise. Here I am finding this book in the library and picking it up. Who knew I would actually fall in love with it? It's gripping. The author draws you in with the events and actions. He spins the words and makes a woven masterpiece. The suspense and mystery scenes were really engaging, the story line so intense. I found myself learning new things about Martin Luther King Jr. And can I just say how much I loved how the author spelled out most of MLKJ's life? This book wasn't just about the murder of MLKJ, it was about how he lead marches and changed America. Another thing that I liked is how the author wrote the scenes leading up to the murder. It seemed a lot like the show on National Geographic, Seconds from Disaster. It showed where James Earl Ray stood and how he shot MLKJ. I found that incredibly interesting. Oh, and I just loved how the author showed how the FBI and police tracked Ray and how he ran away. Long story short, I really enjoyed reading this book. It was a nice suspense/mystery-nonfiction-biography-type book.

Gretzky : An Autobiography (Braille)
By Wayne Gretzky
"Gretzky An Autobiography" is an autobiography written by authors Wayne Gretzky and Rick Reilly with photos are by Vincent Virga. This book has 238 that go through the most important parts of his life like when he got to the very top of the National Hockey League (NHL) being the best. And, the dark times in his life like when parents of his teammates yelled at him for being a puck hog. Or, how he felt when he won the Stanley Cup for the very first time and heard the fans scream his name “Gretzky, Gretzky, Gretzky.” When Wayne played in his youth he made many mistakes like, not letting coaches know what happened off the ice. However, letting this happen helped him fuel his tank with determination so he could drive himself even harder. Although, doing this made his family move everywhere so he can always one up himself. Doing this provided him with a challenge to work on his social skills because he was a very shy kid. It also, helped with training and work ethic to allow him to become a better hockey player and a much better person. I would definitely recommend this book to a fan player or relative of a hockey player because you get to know the game and its history a lot better.If i could ever ask Wayne Gretzky one question face to face it would be, “If you could go back in time and fix one thing what would it be and why?”
Wayside School Is Falling Down
By Louis Sachar
Wayside School is a very weird and funny place to learn . It was supposed to be built horizontally but it was made vertical by mistake! One day, Louis, the yard teacher, had to send a heavy box to the thirtieth story, Miss Jewls' class. He walked and walked until the thirtieth story and gave it to Miss Jewls. it was a computer and she threw it all the way down to show the class what gravity is!
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: The Original Screenplay
By J.K. Rowling
Ooooookay, here goes nothing… Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them (FBAWTFT) was a novel (or script) that I loved/enjoyed. It was nowhere near Harry Potter and The Cursed Child, which was a complete disappointment… No, this is not the Cursed Child anymore because IT IS WRITTEN BY NO OTHER THAN THE AUTHOR HERSELF, JK ROWLING. Pheeeew…. This novel was AMAZING, it was surreal. I loved how JK Rowling based the whole thing on your knowledge of Harry Potter. Ex- Nifflers, Muggles, Ministry Of Magic, etc. ***Characters*** Newt Scamander is nearing the nickname, Lana’s Little Nugget Part 2, right after Ron Weasley. He is such a fragile little person, but ironically he is a full grown adult. I’ll give you a moment to think about that. Tina and Newt were the PERFECT duo. What I loved about this pair is because they love each other… as friends. They care about each other, and they do not fall in love like the typical boy and girl pair. Jacob was a very nice played character. I really liked how JK Rowling included a non-magic person. It was special because Jacob stayed and helped Newt and Tina even though he is not fighting his own battle. Doesn’t make sense? I don’t get it either. Queenie was… interesting. I’ve read about legilimency before in the Harry Potter films. But I’ve never read about a person that can do it so well. Did Voldemort do it well? I don’t think JK Rowling mentioned any of that. Hey! Person that didn’t read this book, this next paragraph contains spoilers…BEWARE….. Credence seems like a not-important-just-ignore-me-constantly-showing-up-kind-of-character. I just feel that he is misunderstood, not evil. In the movie, it shows that Senator Shaw picked up a paper that he dropped and said, Go put this in the garbage where you belong. And then, KABOOOOM. Senator Shaw is dead. Then, Marie Lou threatens him and, BOOM! She is dead. Lesson: Never annoy random squibs that are harnessing their powers. Okay, spoilers are done. You can uncover your eyes. Wait, no I am lying. Just a bit… Graves was…intimidating. Who’ve guessed that he was BEEP,BEEP,BEEP Grindelwald? But, they do have the same hair style so, should I say I saw it coming? Spoilers are done, please sit back in your seat and stop running around like an ostrich. In all, the novel was pretty good. (Oh, and the movie too). Both of these got a solid 4 stars from moi. Until next time, I’ll cry so JK Rowling can write yet another fantastic (beasts) novel.
Ogres of Ohio (American Chillers (Prebound))
By Johnathan Rand
this book is really good i would suggest it for people that like to read to their class or just to read in their free time. this book is about a girl that is just moving to a different city in Ohio with her family, when she starts moving their things inside her mom said she can choose the first room because, her brother is at their grandparents' house for the weekend. She finds a room with a light in it but their electricity isn't on yet so she checks out the room and the light disappeared. so she shut the door and the light appeared again, so she bent down and looked in the door under the crack and tried to see what was there. Then she flung open the door and saw dust go through door at other end of room and the light disappeared again, she went to look at door across room and ripped off boards and saw door with engraving that said," danger do not enter." Finally, she felt claws on her back and started to yell and turned around and it was her brother, the door opened as they tried to go out room and turned around and saw a whole different world.
