The Magic Half

The Magic Half

By Annie Barrows

I just reread this after a year or so, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I did when I was younger. It definitely fills a niche for younger readers, but the story is not as light as the cover suggests. The book was spine-tingling, yet adventurous. In the beginning of the book the main character, Miri, moves to the countryside with her older brothers, Robbie and Ray who are twins, and her younger sisters Nell and Nora, who are also twins. Miri is left in the middle with no attention from most of her family. One afternoon, Miri finds a broken piece of glass from an eyeglass, taped to her bedroom wall. Miri looks into the glass and finds herself transported to 1935, but Miri is in the same bedroom, the same house, with four different people living in the house: Flo, Horst, Sissy, and Molly. Horst and Sissy are Flo's teenage children, and Molly's parents abandoned her so she is living with her Aunt Flo. Molly is treated horribly by her aunt and cousins, and she is the only one that meets Miri. Miri and Molly instantly become best friends, and Miri plans to take Molly home with her to the future. There's only one problem, they don't know how to get back to Miri's home in the future. I read this book in the middle of a "mourning period" because I just finished reading the Clockwork series by Cassandra Clare. I really enjoyed reading about the relationship between Miri and Molly. I liked how the author included two sets of twins, instead of four brothers and sisters. This book was a bit of a "ghost story", and I was definitely scared of Horst. The book was suspenseful, but believable at the same time. The ending was exactly what it was supposed to be, but had an unexpected twist to it. I would recommend this to girls that are 10 and older. -ifeelbookish

Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Book 1

Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Book 1

By Jeff Kinney

I have read the series multiple times, and my mom was always mad about it. I don';t know why, but Jeff Kinney had m hooked on from the first page. That is not something that happens a lot with me. I have to read a few pages and then I decide whether I want to read the book or not. So this is probably one of the many books that would be my go-to if I didn't have any other books to read. If you don't know what this book is about, it is about a kid that is in middle school. He has weird people in his h=neighborhood and school. He wants to to do grown-up stuff and all the things his parents do. But when he tries, he finds out how hard it is. It shows his emotions about school, at his home, and a bunch of other stuff many kids have to deal with. I don't know how, but Jeff Kinney mixed comedy with actual life o well, you would actually think he was writing this books when he was a child. Overall, I give this book 5/5 stars. Well done, Jeff!

The Tale of Despereaux: Being the Story of a Mouse, a Princess, Some Soup, and a Spool of Thread

The Tale of Despereaux: Being the Story of a Mouse, a Princess, Some Soup, and a Spool of Thread

By Kate DiCamillo

The Tale Of Despereaux is a very heart warming story of a mouse who is not liked by others and is different from a mouse in many ways. When Despereaux continues to not help his brothers and sisters find food and does not do what is is supposed to do, the mouse community decides to put him into the dungeon. When he is put into the dungeon, Despereaux does everything to get out of it. This is also the story of a Princess. I love this book!

The Battle of the Labyrinth (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 4)

The Battle of the Labyrinth (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 4)

By Rick Riordan

I rate this book a 5/5 because it has a VERY INTERESTING plot, amazing characters, and it's even a bit funny as well! And the theme is awesome as well, I mean, greek mythology? SO cool! I definitely recommend this book to all ages (except like, preschoolers or kindergarteners of course)!! But there is one flaw.... When you start reading it, you'll want to read more and more and more! XD! So, that is why you must read percy jackson immediately!!! And guess what, if you finish this series, there's even the other series: Percy jackson and the heroes of olympus!!! And others as well that all relate to greek mythology! Like The Kane Chronicles, Magnus Chase, and Trials of Apollo!

The Lorax Pop-Up!

The Lorax Pop-Up!

By Dr. Seuss

The Lorax is the best of Dr. Seuss's books. It is about a truffala tree forest and a human comes to cut down trees and makes a thneed. The Lorax tries to stop it but soon all the trees are cut down. So the Lorax send all the animals away and then he goes away too and leaves only one word: Unless. The movie is just as good as the book!

The Mark of Athena (The Heroes of Olympus, Book 3)

The Mark of Athena (The Heroes of Olympus, Book 3)

By rick riordan

The Mark of Athena is an amazing book. Sure it has a cliffhanger at the end but who cares. The Mark of Athena is a really good book it has lots of mythology, has characters that are easily relatable to kids, and is really interactive to a reader. This book is best for kids 5th grade - 8th grade. If you like a book with battles and adventure this is a book for you. The characters resemble kids with ADD, and ADHD, those are things. About 4.4 percent of kids have ADD, or ADHD. ADHD stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, a condition with symptoms such as inattentiveness, impulsivity, and hyperactivity, and ADD is the same thing just a shortened version, it stands for Attention Deficit Disorder. The reason this is mentioned is because all kids need role models when reading. It is really easy for kids that do not have ADHD to find role models in books. The main characters in this book are Leo, Frank, Hazel, Annabeth, Jason, Percy, Piper. They are all early teens and have unique personalities. They all have ADHD, but you will see Leo has it worst.

A Wrinkle in Time

A Wrinkle in Time

By Madeleine L'Engle

The author of the book “A Wrinkle in Time” is Madeleine L’Engle. This book is known as children’s literature but all ages can read it. At the beginning it starts with Meg in her room in the attic during a thunderstorm. She goes downstairs and finds the intelligent Charles Wallace. Then Mrs Murry the mom joins them and she talks about the absence of her husband, Mr. Murry. Charles Wallace, Meg and a kid from school, Calvin O’Keefe meet Mrs. Who, Mrs. Whatsit, and Mrs. Which. Meg and the others go on a quest throughout the universe and planets with some guidance from the witches to find Meg’s father. Some topics addressed in this book are wisdom, knowledge, communication, fate, good vs. evil, love, and most importantly time. My evaluation of “A Wrinkle in Time” is that it’s an easy read and the author does a great job describing the events, characters and the setting of different places including the planets Uriel, Orien, and Camazotz throughout the story. In my opinion, some of the English is old and is not used in many books created to this day. This took me on an adventure of time and space. I definitely recommend this book to people who don’t mind reading Children’s literature or old English writing. I rate this book a 4 stars because it has a good plot and keeps you hooked page by page waiting to see what will happen next. ~Mary Grace B.

Hidden

Hidden

By Helen Frost

This book was a whole roller coaster but I loved it SO much. I read it in my class for English readiness and I was IMMEDIATELY obsessed. It was an absolute masterpiece. I loved the mystery, the plot, and especially the HIDDEN message at the end. What an amazing book. Ten out of ten, must read again. That- is a promise. :)
