Weird but True! Stupid Criminals: 150 Brainless Baddies Busted, Plus Wacky Facts

By National Geographic

when I saw this book I thought "There must be a lot of stupid criminals out there if there's a whole book about them" and I was right. There are bad guys that have gotten stuck or have gotten locked out of there car and actually called 911 for help! Once a man that broke into a house got hungry and fried up some fish - The owner of the house woke up and called the police! This was a funny read and I kept laughing at how crazy some of these people are/were! Recommended for 11+ Thanks for reading -Ajg16's reviews

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: The Illustrated Edition (Harry Potter, Book 1)

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: The Illustrated Edition (Harry Potter, Book 1)

By J.K. Rowling

I have always loved the Harry Potter book series. It is not only full of magic, adventure, joy, creativity, and Voldemort, it is a timeless classic that everyone knows the story too. When I heard that they were creating a picture book version to it, I was blown away and had to get my hands on it. The book has the same plot and words as the original, except now add color and art to the long list of traits I mentioned in the beginning. In case you don't know the plot to the book this is a simple breakdown of what happens; Harry Potter is not a normal boy whose parents died when he was a baby. He has weird talents that are unexplained like how he has a lightning scar, can talk to snakes and can make random things happen just by thinking about it. He lives with his awful Aunt, Uncle, and cousin who gives him the Cinderella treatment and always are rude to him. For heaven's sake, they made him sleep under the stairs. One day, Harry Potter gets a letter addressed to him with his exact location(under the stairs and everything), but the Dursleys won't let him open it after they see a red crest seal on it. They toss it into the garbage. As the days pass hundreds of letters are being sent and owls are appearing at his door, but still, the Uncle is taking all of them and not allowing Harry to see any of them. To avoid any more letters reaching them, Uncle Dursley decides to send all of them to a shabby house on a small island in the middle of the sea. This day happens to be Harry's 11th birthday. All of a sudden, a giant knock hits the door and they all startle themselves awake. It turns out to be a giant named Hagrid who explains to Harry that he is a wizard and has been accepted into the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. After that, he leaves his family, goes school supply shopping with Hagrid, and takes a train to the school. When he gets there he meets a lot of new people and makes best friends with Hermione Granger and Ron Weasely who are in the same house as himself. He also learns what truly happened to his parents and it turns out to be a villain named Voldemort. He killed them and tried to kill Harry too, but his mother sacrificed herself instead and made a bond that destroyed Voldemort. After that day, Harry Potter gained the title of The Boy who Lived. People think that Voldemort is still out there resting so he can come back for revenge. And like all foreshadowing is, the fact turns out to be true. But we don't know that yet. They start hearing noises coming from around the top floor of the school so Harry and the gang go there to check it out. They see a giant 3 headed dog whose name is Fluffy. After this day, they have Hermione do some research and figure out that the dog is guarding a magical stone called the Sorceror's Stone which can give someone youth and that the owner of the dog is Hagrid. Their only lead is the suspicious Potions teacher, Severus Snape who somehow is always seen at the wrong time, doing the wrong thing. During this time, they got more information, saved Hermione from a troll, and met a few ghosts. Back to the present. Now that they had figured out that the owner of the dog was Hagrid, they all go to HAgrid's hut and trick him into giving them valuable information. Then they venture back into the attic with Fluffy and play soft music that makes him fall asleep for as long as they need to get past him. Then they go through the little latch underneath Fluffy and find a mysterious room in which there are puzzles they have to solve in order to get to the stone before Voldemort does. They solve a key riddle, plays chess with themselves being hit if they fail, and finally come into the room in which they find the stone. In the room, Harry Potter comes face to face with Mr. Qiurell the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher who is actually a reincarnated version of Voldemort. So he and Voldemort have an epic face-off . . . .

The Philadelphia Adventure

The Philadelphia Adventure

By Lloyd Alexander

There's another time for another adventure with now grown 20 years old Vesper Holly with her guardian, Brinnie Garrett as they set out for an adventure initiated from President (former) General Ulysses S. Grant to try and foil the massive extortion and terrorism plot which was targeted the 1876 Centennial Exposition of Philadelphia. But what's the plot behind this story? Dr. Helvitius had risen once again, but this time, he kidnapped two children from the emperor of Brazil then threatened to kill other world leaders as another reason for this adventure was to try and stop him once again. Chaos, comedy, but also final adventure with Vesper Holly and Brinnie as we officially close this type of chapter with Vesper Holly. I truly do enjoy this series as I get into the depth, giving me the laughs, or even shaking my head when they said something amusing. - Happy Reading!

Reading the Bible is an excellent way to learn about yourself. Too much focus is on how others see you or view you. I recommend reading the Bible for self reflection and for the pure joy of reading.

The Candy Smash (The Lemonade War Series)

The Candy Smash (The Lemonade War Series)

By Jacqueline Davies

The fourth book in the Lemonade Wars series follows the life of Evan, a fourth grader who wrestles with a secret crush, Valentines Day arts and crafts, and discovering his true self. His younger sister, Jessie is trying to make Evan's fourth grade year as miserable as possible. The precocious journalist believes everything should be publi; Evan however, believes in privacy. As these two siblings battle eaxh other, they first have to make it through fourth grade. Davies presents a true coming-of-age story of self-discovery, that is sure to entertain fans of the Lemonade Wars series. What I thought about it: I usually prefer first-person point pf views, but in this case I love the third person narrative. The author perfectly described every character's feelings exceedingly well. The hardships that the characters had to overcome were relatable to me, and the story was realistic. The book kind of reminds me of Andrew Clements' novels which I love. The short entries of poetry were very enlightening. I've noticed that the books have become more and more serious as the series progresses, and I hate to admit it, but that's just part of growing up. The added twist to the story was the mystery of the candy hearts and I think that it tied the story together very well. Overall I think that boys and girls alike would enjoy this story. ~ifeelbookish
