Heroes of Olympus: The Blood of Olympus by Rick Riordan

 

Heroes of Olympus: The Blood of Olympus by Rick Riordan is filled with action packed scenes. This book leads you into a world that you just wish you could enter. With gods and monsters, join these heroes as they save, or try to save the world from Gaea. 

I mean does that not remind you of your other favorites? It reminded me of my favorites, one of which was Harry Potter. And it isn’t even a complete rip off of Harry Potter so you will STILL fall in LOVE with it. Kind of funny as well, two of our heroes once had to wipe the disturbingly disgusting feet of a pirate, or they would die! Will the heroes survive, or will they die? Find out now in Heroes of Olympus 5: Blood of Olympus.

Five Nights at Freddy’s: The Silver Eyes by Scott Cawthon

Five Nights at Freddy’s: The Silver Eyes by Scott Cawthon is about a group of friends sneaking into an old restaurant where there is a seemingly  abandoned set of animatronics, shut down due to horrible smells coming from inside the animatronics. Although they seem completely harmless and shut down, that's not the case. There's 2 versions of this book: the graphic novel and the regular chapter book. In my opinion the graphic novel is just a lot more informative, the other one is still pretty good too. But it's probably around 6-7th grade reading level. The graphic novel is a lot shorter, but it really shows all the scenes by using images. 

I really liked this book when I read it. I don't usually read a lot but I read this book in around 4 hours. I would definitely recommend it to people as it has a lot of action and adventure (and story) . It has a good connection to the game it's based on, with all the animatronics in the correct spots they were in the game.

Amari and the Night Brothers by B. B. Alston

Amari and the Night Brothers by B. B. Alston is about Amari, a young Black girl who discovers a ticking briefcase left by her missing brother – and learns that her brother was a famous agent working for the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs and that there is a magical world hiding before her very own eyes. In the book, Amari and the night brothers, Amari befriends Elsie (who is a weredragon).

I love this book because it has lots of events that are very mysterious and leave you wondering “Why did this happen?” Amari is a poor black girl who is really smart and at a whites-only school. She gets bullied a lot because she is black and also because she is poor. This book reminds me of the Harry Potter book series, just with fewer books.

Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life by James Patterson

The plot of Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life by James Patterson, is about a boy named Rafe Khatchadorian. Rafe is going through middle school, which as you can tell by the title does not go very well for him.  Rafe is a very artistic kid that was born into a family with an annoying, nosey sister named Georgia, a loving and caring mom named Jules, and a mean, nasty, and sloppy dad that he calls Bear. Rafe has a plan that is an acronym for Rafe (rules aren't for everyone). Rafe’s plan is to try to break every rule in one year. Will he be able to do it or will he fail?

I loved this book. I really like the author’s imagination, and the outrageous characters. When reading the book you should really take your time to understand the characters and look at the pictures. Most readers will be around middle school age, but they will still find how true and funny this book is. If I had to rate this book I would give it a good 9, because although it's an amazing book, like any book it has its’ flaws, but those flaws are really tiny and you should still read the book.

Tricked by Jen Calonita

I wanted to review the book Tricked by Jen Calonita . It is about a girl named Gilly who used to be a thief and a bad girl, but then she finds herself in Fairy Tale Reform School, which turns her into the opposite. Now she is a hero. She has been released out of Fairy Tale Reform School (FTRS), because now she is a fully reformed hero, at least FTRS thinks so. But then, Rumpelstiltskin comes along with some trouble, and Gilly wants to find a way to go and rescue her school and her friends before Rumpelstiltskin takes his revenge.

I like the book because it is like an adventure, and I love adventures. Also, the girl Gilly is tough, like me, and I like tough people. I always have an adventure everyday. My life is an adventure like Gilly’s, which never stops. I live for adventure. I like stories, especially when there is trouble or evil in them. I love adventure books and movies. Adventure is my favorite part of life.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling

In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling, it is Harry Potter’s fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and it is an exciting yet scary year. He has been seeing things in his sleep and his scar has been hurting at certain times, which means Voldemort is mad or near. Hermione, Ron and some other students at Hogwarts want to learn Defence Against the Dark Arts just in case he comes back. The only problem is that the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher Professor Umbridge banned any sort of group or club without her permission. Will they get caught and possibly get expelled or will everything be okay? Will Voldemort return? Find out in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

I enjoyed this book very much. It is a longer book, but it was interesting the whole way through. I had so many feelings throughout the whole book. At some points I was happy others I was angry or upset. I liked the book because of the fantasy. There are many things in it that could not happen in real life. I think that this is cool. This is one of the things that makes me want to read more.

Spy School: Secret Service by Stuart Gibbs

Spy School: Secret Service is another great book by Stuart Gibbs. It is currently the last of the spy school series. It started off with Ben yet again on another mission. But this time it was more pressure than ever...he has to save the president from Spyder. Will he succeed yet again or will he go down with the president?

I absolutely loved this book and every time I read one in the series, I can't wait for the next one. I hope Stuart Gibbs makes many, many more Spy School books. Though before reading this one you should probably read the others in the series first: Spy School, Spy Camp, Evil Spy School, and Ski Spy school. In that order. You should also read his other series: the Funjungle series, the Three Musketeers series and the Moon Base Alpha series. I hope you read and like the book.

Silverwing by Kenneth Oppel

In Silverwing by Kenneth Oppel, there is a problem.  Shade, the main character looked at the sun, which you're not supposed to do.  There was a big war because the bats looked at the sun long ago.  Because Shade looked at the sun, the owls burned the silverwing roost down.  When they started to migrate, Shade got lost in a storm and met a brightwing named Marina.  They went to find the silverwings but met two huge bats named Goth and Throbb.  Goth and Throbb then turned on Shade and Marina.  Will Shade and Marina win or will Goth and Throbb have a good snack?

I think that Silverwing was a good book and my teacher read it to my class.  It had very sad parts and parts that kept you on the edge of your seat.  If you like adventure books or bats, then this is the book for you.  The book has many cliffhangers and it is very exciting.  It kind or reminds me of when I was a kid and I read Magic Tree House books. They have really good cliffhangers as well.  If you read this book then you will want to read every single book in the series.

Edited by Skullmaster

In Silverwing by Kenneth Oppel, the problem is Shade went to see the sun and you're not supposed to because the bats did not fight in the battle of the birds and the beasts and the owls caught him.  He tried to get away and his mom came and rescued him.  He made the owls come and they burned down his roost.  

I like this book because it is about bats and I love bats.  We are reading this book right now in our classroom and everyone likes it.  It is a really good book. I recommend this book. Also there is a sequel called Firewing.

Nerds by Michael Buckley

In the book, Nerds by Michael Buckley, there is a girl who is fighting a scientist. The scientist is on a train fighting the girl.  She is about to fall off when she catches herself. Then the liquid spills out and all over them. The characters are nerds who were being bullied so they become scientists. The villains are attacking the science nerds.

I think my rating for this book would be a five star. You should read this if you like action. I like action stories because it’s described very well. NERDS, stands for National Espionage Rescue and Defense Society. The NERDS fight villains. I like how the books in this series are set up.

Hunger Games: Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

Hunger Games: Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins is the second book in the Hunger Games series. It is about how the districts are rebelling against the capitol and evil President Snow. President Snow wants everyone to know the capitol is boss. Past winners Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark go back in the arena and team up with other tributes to rebel and defeat the Capitol.

I personally love this book by, Suzanne Collins. It is one of my favorite books in the series. I think the beginning is pretty slow, but once you get into the book you really get into the book! I recommend it for people who love action.  

-Chipotle in the h0US3

In Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins, it is a year after the 74th hunger games and a girl named Katniss Everdeen and a boy named Peeta Mellark find out that the 75th hunger games will have 2 victors from each district 1 girl and 1 boy. Katniss knows she has to be in the 3rd quarter quell with either Peeta or Haymitch. When the victors get chosen, Haymitch was chosen, but Peeta volunteers as tribute. After a couple hours they arrive and they watch tapes to learn about their enemies, and who they are. Once they finally enter the hunger games a guy named Finnick Odair and Mags team up with Katniss and Peeta. Now they can only hope to survive from the other victors. But after the hunger games something changes about Peeta.

I would recommend this book because it’s a good series with lots of suspense, action, and more. It also has both a book series and a movie series. It's a great book to read at night. This is why I would recommend The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.

Zombie Baseball beatdown by Paolo Baciagalupi

Zombie Baseball beatdown by Paolo Bacigalupi is a great book about a kid called Rabi that sees his coach as a zombie and the government told him to keep it as a secret. His friends also saw the zombie. So they have to keep it a secret and if any zombies try to eat them, they got three baseball bats to kill it. Will Rabi get bit? Or will he survive the apocalypse?

 

The book is great and you should read it! I love that it connects to his problems in the real world turning into him being a hero and trying to kill the zombies. It reminds me of when I played baseball. He was just like me because none of my teammates would’ve cooperated.

A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket

In the book Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket, there are three children called the Baudelaire children. They are put in a very unpleasant situation. Their parents died in a very bad fire in their house. So now they have another guardian that watches them. They go through lots of stress. Read it and you’ll find out about this terrible guardian.

This story reminds me of my childhood. Not what was happening to the Baudelaire children, but I was always told tales. These tales were very mysterious, just like the one in this book. It keeps me curious. I honestly recommend you read this book. This book has unpleasant tales, but there was nothing stopping me from putting it down. There are very mysterious things happening every moment.

Review by Baller#30

The book I read was the Bad Beginning, by Lemony Snicket, (Daniel Handler). This book is about the Baudelaire orphans Sunny, Klaus, and Violet whose parents have died. The children now live with a terrible man named Count Olaf who wants to take all their money. Read to find out if Count Olaf gets their money.

    What I liked about the book was that it was a page turner. It really made me want to keep reading.The book is one in a series so you could learn more about the characters and their problems.The reason why I liked this book was because I have a brother and a little sister and we are all curious about something different, just like they are in the book.

The series of unfortunate events: Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket is about three children whose parents die and they move into a disgusting house with an evil man named Count Olaf. Count Olaf tries to steal the Baudelaire’s money.

I thought the book was very interesting and a bit creepy.  It was creepy because of all the things that Count Olaf did to the Baudelaire’s family. For example, He made Violet marry him so he could steal the money they had. Will they escape?

  By Domenator_D

A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket is a thriller story. This book has so many twists and turns that you can never predict what is going to happen. It starts as a tragedy by losing something important, jumps to abuse, to horrible acting, and child like spying to save one another.

I like this book because I feel like I’m a little bit of each character. I think I can be quick on my feet and come up with inventive ideas like Violet. I am like Claus because we both like to study stuff and we are both cautious with stuff. Also, even though I am cautious I sometimes like to take risks.

Battle Heroes: Voices From Afghanistan by Allan Zullo

Battle Heroes: Voices From Afghanistan by Allan Zullo is a great book. It is action packed and has a lot of thrills. It is one of those books that has multiple stories in one book. My favorite story is when a doctor has to run through the battlefield unprotected with no weapons and save a soldier from a severe bullet wound. Then he runs a quarter of a mile back to the helicopter with a soldier on his back. If you enjoy this book, Allen has a whole series of similar books.

I liked this book a lot because it reminds me of when my great grandfather and my papa used to tell me stories about when they were in the war. This book brought me back to the days that they used to tell me stories. If you like action packed books and books that keep you on your heels this is the right book for you.

Dogs of War by Sheila Keenan

Dogs of War by Sheila Keenan is a great book for dog lovers. It shows that dogs do a lot for our country.  The book tells the stories of amazing war dogs. War dogs are more than helpers they also give soldiers comfort. The three dogs in the book are inspiring even though they’re dogs. They go through the war with their heads held high. The book also has a variation of settings from tundra to jungle.

 The book is both intense and loving. I give the book five stars for its amazing pictures and the great description of the character’s feelings. I’ve never read a book more loving than this one. If you are a lover of action then this book is for YOU! You should definitely read this book. So next time you’re  looking for an action book take a look at Dogs of War.

Webster: Tale of an Outlaw, by Ellen Emerson White

Webster: Tale of an Outlaw, by Ellen Emerson White, is about a dog who was abused.  It seems in all his homes he was mistreated. On his way he saves many people. Later on he makes his toughest rescue. Will he finally find a place he belongs? Will he still be in and out of his shelter? Does he still think he is an outlaw?

I had a dog we rescued from his abusive owners and he turned out really nice. My dog’s name was Whiteboy. He was a pitbull with white fur and black spots. Like Webster, he wasn’t comfortable at first then began to get more comfortable with people. Sadly he just passed away.  Sadly there are a lot of abused animals in the world.

I loved this book because it was very adventurous. I also liked this book because I love animals  and I rescued an abused dog. If you like this book you'll probably like the book, Gaby Lost and Found.  If you love adventures and animals you'll love this book.

The character Jack is very smart and there is some tension between the characters.  I connect to Jack in this way. Jack is smart and can make friends easily and can think in ways that some people can’t.
