Roller Girl by Victoria Jamieson


In Roller Girl by Victoria Jamieson, Astrid and her best friend Nicole did everything together, until one summer Astrid’s mom took Astrid and Nicole to a roller derby game. Astrid fell in love with roller derby. That summer Astrid just assumed that she and Nicole would go to roller derby camp together, but she had to find out from her enemy, Rachel that Nicole signed up for dance camp instead. Astrid has a problem, Nicole’s mom was supposed to give Astrid a ride to roller derby camp all the way across town. Want to find out how Astrid finds a solution? I suggest you read the book. I related to this book because the same thing that happened to Astrid has happened to me many times. Well, besides the, “couldn’t find a ride part”. Astrid lost a friend and gained an enemy. I have many best friends and I wouldn't say I have any enemies. I hope you really enjoy the book. Reviewed by, Soccergirl1303101


Today I will be telling you about Roller Girl by Victoria Jamieson. It is based on roller skating and it is a Newbery honor award book. I like this book because I like roller skating. The problem in the book is the main character can’t get a ride to roller derby. Will she get a ride? Read the book to find out.

Review by Lovelobster101


In Roller Girl by Victoria Jamieson, Astrid is Roller Girl. One day she went to a roller derby game with her friend Nicole. Astrid loved the way it looked. After the game was over Astrid saw a paper that said Roller Derby Camp. Astrid wanted to join and her mom said it was okay, but Nicole wanted to go to dance camp. So Astrid started going to Roller Derby camp and Nicole did not. Astrid's mom thought that Nicole's mom was giving her a ride to camp, but she was not. Also Astrid is not good at roller derby. Will she give up? Will she walk to practice? You will have to read the book to find out.


    This book relates to my life. In the book, Astrid feels like her bff doesn't like her. Also, she loves a sport but she is not good at it. In my life I feel like my friend does not like me as much as she used to. Also, I feel like I am not good at the sport I play.  In the story Astrid gets new friends and I am making new friends too. Astrid and I have a lot in common.

Hatchet by Gary Paulson


In Hatchet by Gary Paulsen, twelve year old Brian Robeson got sent on a private plane to his father´s house. During the plane ride the pilot of the plane has a heart attack and the plane crashes in the middle of a random forest. Brian has to try to survive in the forest with only himself and the hatchet he brought with him. Will he survive?

I  would highly recommend that you read the book Hatchet. It is full of many different turns and surprises. A connection I can make is that  I have been in a plane before, just like Bryan. It makes you very nervous when the plane is crashing and Bryan can not do anything and is just alone in the forest by himself. The question is, will he make it out alive? Read more to learn about what Bryan does alone in the forest with himself and his hatchet.

Review by Flamingo


I chose Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. Brian is stranded in the middle of Canada and may face very challenging obstacles and may be in very big trouble. His parents are divorced because of a secret his mom kept. His mom gives Brian a hatchet for a present. His plane to go see his dad crashes on an island. The unconscious pilot may die or will he survive?


I personally loved the book and wanted another Hatchet book to be written. The part of the book that I loved the most was when he tries to go back to the plane. Wait wait a minute! If I tell this part, I’ll be spoiling the book for you, so you’re going to have to read for yourself. I hope you would like to read this book and I hope you love it!

Review by STINGIESTFAUN62


The book Hatchet by Gary Paulsen is about a thirteen year old boy named Brian Robinson who is on an airplane flight to see his dad. Before Brian had got on the flight his mom gifted him with a hatchet. Brian and the pilot were getting along, when something terribly wrong happens to the pilot. Brian freaks out and about an hour later the plane starts to go down. The plane lands in the woods in the middle of nowhere. Brian is dehydrated and tired. Will Brian survive the wilderness or will he not make it?

I really like how the book Hatchet reminds me of hard times and still being able to find a way to have fun. It is a good book to read if you need an adventurous book or even a suspenseful book. I love how the author includes details to make you feel like you are there in the woods with Brian. I definitely recommend this book.
Review By Puppylover1234



Hatchet by Gary Paulsen, starts out with the main character, Brian. His parents get divorced and his father moves to Canada. On a trip to see his father in Canada he  travels on a plane. After a while, the pilot has a heart attack and dies with Brian not knowing how to fly a plane. The plane goes tumbling down to the ground. Brian crashes. And the only thing he has to survive is a Hatchet that his mother gave him for his birthday.
This book is the best book I have ever read. It is heartwarming and heart pounding. It had gotten a Newbery prize and I think it deserved it. This is a realistic, survival story that I personally loved. If you want to read the book, buy it or check it out of the library to learn what happens in the rest of the book.

This realistic, survival, Newbery Honor book is called Hatchet. This book is written by Gary Paulsen. The characters in this book are Brian, his mom, his dad, and the pilot. My favorite character is Brian. Brian was on a plane to Canada to see his dad when the pilot passed out of a heart attack. Then the plane crashed in the woods.  This book is sad because Brian is lost in the woods and doesn’t know where he is. But then again no one knows where he is either. The theme of this book is survival.  I would highly recommend this book to readers who like survival stories. If you read this, boom you will love it!!!

The author Gary Paulson writes a book on survival called Hatchet.  The book is about Brian Robeson, a thirteen year old boy who has gotten into a plane crash after the pilot flying the plane has a heart attack and dies.  He is now stuck in the Canadian wilderness by himself with nothing but the hatchet his mom left him and a painful memory of his mom’s divorce.  He asks himself one question- what do I have to do in order to survive?  This book will surely leave you on the edge of your seat.  It left me on the edge of mine.  I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who’s interested in books with survival and divorce.
