The Adventure is Now by Jess Redmen

The Adventure is Now by Jess Redmen is a 2023 RICBA nominee. Milton is off for an adventure on Lone Island with his uncle, in order to give his parents some time to figure out their problems. But Lone Island has some surprises in store, magical creatures, fantastical flora, if only Milton and his new friends can find them. They have to, because the island is in danger if they don't.

I love fantasy stories! In the story a group of kids have to follow clues left behind in a field guide. I loved the way the characters had to work together as a team to solve the puzzles. It reminded me of the levels in a video game or coding! I think this book would make a great movie.

I feel that the book is very weird and a little mature for my age, but I think overall the book was really good. I hope that all my friends enjoy it like I did. One thing though, you won’t find this book in an elementary school library.

Harry Potter: and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling is a book of suspense and action. It makes the reader sit on the edge of the seat. This is personally my favorite book. It will make you want to watch the movie and read more of the series. That's my summary about Harry Potter.

My opinion of this book is that it's a fantastic book. I think it was fantastic because of all of the action and suspense. My favorite part is when they found the three headed dog behind the door.

The Wizard Of Oz by L.Frank Baum

The Wizard Of Oz by L.Frank Baum is a fiction book for readers interested in action. Dorothy is struck by a life changing tornado. Dorothy and Toto, her Cairn Terrier, are stranded alone on the wonderful Land of Oz. Dorothy meets many different creatures in this magical land. They all have a wish to ask the Wizard to grant. Will Dorothy’s wish be granted? Will she find her way home?

 I really like this book because it is full of adventure. I’ve watched the movie since I was little. This is a classic book full of magic. I love the idea of having a young girl scared and alone in the Land of Oz, but it turns out a once in a lifetime experience. The part when she clicked her shoes together made me feel happy. I think this is a book that many middle grade readers will enjoy.

The Wizard of Oz by L.Frank Baum is a very good book.  A girl named Dorothy is from Kansas.  Then a twister happened and this little girl landed in a place called, The Land of Oz.  All she wanted to do is to go back home so she has to go see a wizard to get that wish.  And on the way, she found some friends.  

This book also was a movie, so when you're done reading the book you should watch the movie. I liked the characters it made me happy and they all wanted something special. What would your wish be if you could have one?
