Camp Midnight by Steven T. Seagle

Camp Midnight by Steven T. Seagle is about a girl named Skye. Her dad and evil stepmother send her to a camp called Camp Midnight. On the creepy dark bus she meets a girl named Mia. When she picks a bunk bed and starts to fall asleep, someone starts screaming midnight snack. Skye finds out, that at this camp they stay up all night. Then out of nowhere they all turn into monsters, but not Skye and Mia, or do they?

I like this book because it’s a cool book and this color choice is different and weird. It perfectly blends the creepy with the humorous. I think people that like weird books or graphic novels would like this book.

Review by #DogsRTheBest

Camp Midnight by Steven T. Seagle and Jason Adam Katzenstein is the book that I'm reading. It is for 7-11 year olds. So if you are around those ages, it might be for you. It’s fiction by the way. The book is about ghosts and demons and there is a little girl who's the main character. Her mom is evil because she is a monster or a demon. 

It is an amazing book! She feels lonely and does not have a lot of friends. I can relate to her because I get left a lot and I do not have a lot of friends, so that's how I relate to the book . It’s a really good book. I love it and I hope you will too!

Zoe in Wonderland by Brenda Wood

Zoe in Wonderland by Brenda Wood is about a girl named Zoe and her family. Their last name is Reindeer. The main characters are Zoe, her dad, brother and her sister. Zoe has a wild imagination, but a normal life until a stranger comes into her father’s plant store. Her life is about to change.

The reason I liked this book is because she is in a garden shop reading and I like reading. Also it's kind of like a mystery, but not, because it’s also a lot about family. That's why I liked it.

Who Was John F. Kennedy? by Yona Zeldis McDonough

I like Who Was John F. Kennedy? by Yona Zeldis McDonough, because it tells the life of president John F. Kennedy! It talks about his early life, accomplishments and sad death. You will also learn about his mom, dad and wife. JFK has experiences as a war hero, President, representative and Congressman.

The book is great, but if you read it for yourself it's even better. The number one reason I like it is, it is both sad and happy. The book talks about JFK’s accomplishments and the death of his loved ones.

Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson

In Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson, Phoebe and her unicorn were best friends. Phoebe was the one to find the unicorn first. She found her in the forest. Phoebe thought people would like her better if she brought Marigold the unicorn to school, but people thought it was boring and that’s because of the shield of boringness. Now deeper in the story the unicorn meets Phoebe’s parents and they have a pajama party. In the middle of the story it’s fall and they go out for trick or treating and they only went to one house where the candy dragon is. You say something to wake it up, then it wakes up and gives you a lot of candy. Will Phoebe and Marigold become best friends forever and always?

I really enjoyed this book because every girl likes Unicorns. I mean, you can’t blame me. This book reminds me of my friends. When I was little we all loved unicorns! This book is amazing and I’m probably going to read more of Dana Simpson’s books. If you want to read one of her books, then I have included her website. I hope you read this book because it’s a really good book.

The Enchanted Charms by Geronimo Stilton is a very cool book about MAGIC and GIANTS and MICE and even MONSTERS! The book is about a mouse that goes and tries to get these charms that are all in different parts of the world. When he gets them...  well I shouldn’t tell you because that's the ending of  the book but you can read it and figure that out for yourself. 

This book relates to me because the mouse and the mouse's cousin are funny and a lot of people say I’m funny. Also a lot of people say I’m smart and that’s what a couple of the mouse’s friends are. I think you would like this book if you are into other books like Harry Potter.

Terrible Two by Mac Barnett and Jory John

The Terrible Two by Jory John and Mac Barnett is about a boy named Miles who moves to a new town called Yawnee Valley. It begins as a normal story but then it tells us about his old school and how he was the school's big prankster. It also tells about how miserable Miles was to move to a new town. 

My most favorite character in this book is principal Barkin. He is my favorite because he is an angry man who always has something crazy he gets himself into. I also like the part where the principal parked on the stairs and made all the students go into the school through his car to get in.

This book reminds me of the times I had to move and it was hard because I had so many memories from there. The hardest part was not being able to see my friends because we were in different cities. I would always be very silent and shy. Then I got used to the school and I'm not as shy as I was before and now have a lot of friends who I can relate to, which makes me more comfortable.

Review by Aaliyah

Who is Stevie Wonder? by Jim Gigliotti

       Who is Stevie Wonder? by Jim Gigliotti is a great book. The book starts off telling you about Stevie’s life when he was a kid. He was born 6 weeks early and was blind because of it. Although he was blind, he had an amazing sense of hearing, and a great gift of music. Stevie played bongo drums in his crib. Stevie could identify a coin just by the sound of one. At a young age, Stevie moved to Detroit, and auditioned for being a part of Motown. Stevie made it and soon became Little Stevie Wonder. When he became a teenager, he took off little, and became Stevie Wonder. Since then Stevie has made many hits. He has had an interesting life. I guess you'll have to read the book to find out about it.
I like this book because Stevie Wonder is my favorite musician. This book is my favorite of the Who is/Was book series. Stevie Wonder is famous for his music, and I love music just like him. He is blind, and that inspired me to start playing music. He is a great person and  has done many charitable things. He is named a United Nations messenger of peace. He is a very inspiring person to kids all over the world, and almost everybody has a favorite Stevie Wonder song.

BabyMouse Queen of the World by Jennifer L. Holm is the perfect book if you don’t like to read a lot. The book is so fun,and easy to read because it’s also a comic book!  BabyMouse is a good character to read about because she is very relatable and funny. By reading the book it can turn a very bad day into a great day, but the best part is, it is very short, so it’s fast to read. Baby Mouse's enemy is Felicia Furrypaws.

Auggie and Me by R.J. Palacio

I like Auggie and Me by R.J. Palacio very much for certain reasons. This book makes me feel like a better person just from reading it. Just treat people the way you want to be treated. In this book, this child named Julian is a very mean child and he bullied a child named Auggie. Auggie had disabilities and did not look like other children, but he was a very kind person. This book reminds me of a movie named a Wrinkle in Time because in the movie this person bullies another person for no reason, just like the book Auggie and Me. You should not do something bad, especially if there is no reason to do it.

Auggie and Me has things that will hurt other kids feelings but there is a lesson to learn. I think that you should treat people the way you would like to be treated. When I read this book it makes me feel like a better person. This book talks about very important things that maybe you will like to learn about to. This book shows hard feelings and maybe will hurt other feelings but is a good lesson to learn, this book is very good and I think that you should read it too.

Bad Guys in Do-You-Think-He-Saurus? by Aaron Blabey

The Bad Guys in Do-You-Think-He-Saurus  is about 5 heroes, Mr. Wolf, Mr. Shark, Mr. Snake, Mr. Tarantula, and Mr. Piranha, who try to get back to the present. They get blasted into the past while trying to save the world from aliens! My favorite character is Mr. Shark because he’s good at disguises! My favorite scene is when the “Bad Guys'' go into the portal. 

I love this book because of its hilariousness. The characters have a funny character design. I love it when Mr. Wolf says that the velociraptors can’t see him, even though they can. I also loved when Mr. Snake threw a rock at a poor velociraptor. Another part I liked was when Mr. Shark dressed up as a tree and Mr. Wolf was talking a lot, so the velociraptors found them. That reminds me of when I'm in my classroom and one person starts talking, everyone does! Anyways, I think you should read this awesome, hilarious Graphic Novel by Aaron Blabey!

But I won’t tell you what they got. It would ruin the story!

Big Nate Game On! by Lincoln Pierce

I really like the book Big Nate Game On! by Lincoln Pierce, because it’s a graphic novel series and the character is funny. Big Nate Game On is all about sports, but it's not necessarily in order. For instance there was one event where a boy named Arthur is very lucky and Nate doesn't like him. He became first chair in chess instead of Nate. He even became a couple with Nate’s crush.

Nate plays basketball, baseball, and soccer. In baseball, Nate’s team has an embarrassing name. He plays left field, but he always says that there is no action in left field. In soccer, Nate plays as goalie, but when he makes a save he always gets hits in the face and gets hurt. In basketball, Nate always needs his lucky socks in his warm ups and games or else he he will lose. He likes to roast the other players.  Read the book and I think you‘ll agree it's funny.

His name is Eric Greitens and he is a book author and writes about what his experience was like in the Navy as a Navy Seal. In the book The Warriors Heart, Becoming a Man of Compassion and Courage, Greitens writes about his whole life and his experience with helping kids and other people in different countries, especially countries that are in a war and where poor people that need help live in the streets and roads. It has a very good theme to it as well, because it teaches people to be kind to others and help out people struggling in life, especially kids that are homeless and need help. This book is very good for learning life lessons and things that are very wise. In the book he faces many obstacles especially when he is in the Navy Seals. This book is very interesting and you should definitely check out this book, I recommend The Warrior’s Heart for age 10+.     

This book made me think of the many obstacles I have in my life. Obstacles that I have to overcome, and learn from. So this book helps me deal with my problems because if Eric Greitens can do the things he’s done, then, I can definitely deal with what I have going on in my life.

Big Nate: In a Class by Himself by Lincoln Peirce

       Big Nate is an awesome series by Lincoln Peirce, but I particularly like In a Class by Himself, because I find it funnier and more relatable than the other books. Nate starts off thinking there's a test, and if he fails it, he’ll end up in summer school! Here's the thing, he forgot all his notes at school! When he gets to school it turns out that he worried for nothing because there's no test and, he forgot his lunch! So his friend, Teddy, offers to share his lunch, which was Chinese food, and hands Nate a fortune cookie. Nate opens it, thinking it will be something silly, but it turns out to say something way more than that. What did it say? It said that he will surpass all others, but I think Nate took it a little to far. The rest of the day does not go according to plan. But by the end of the day Nate did it! He surpassed all others! How? I guess you'll have to read the book to find out!
 
       Like I said before, I think that the Big Nate series is awesome, but I particularly like this one because I feel it's more funny and relatable than the others! This book kind of reminded me of some real life situations. I also like the colors on the cover on the book, I think they're eye-appealing and pretty. And the tittle is clever, given the events in the book. I really enjoyed this book, I hope you do too!

Recess Warriors: Hero is a Four Letter Word by Marcus Emerson

I enjoyed Recess Warriors: Hero is a Four Letter Word by Marcus Emerson because of the imagination and adventure that the story shows. It's based on the adventures of Scrap, aka Bryce the main character. It explains what happens at recess at Armstrong Elementary school. The story-line changes every chapter. Everything happens during their recess. Although they are playing and pretending, the story makes it seem as if it were all real.

The art is amazing and some of the best style I’ve seen in a graphic novel.  The comedy is great, it reminds me of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. There are truly great character designs and the cover design is nice and colorful. It's a world filled with imagination where girls are power hungry pirates and zombies take over the school. Anything can happen in this world and that's why I love this book and I'm sure you’ll like it too.
