Leatherback Sea Turtle by Rod Theodorou

Leatherback Sea Turtle by Rod Theodorou, from the Animals in Danger series. I like this book because it’s about turtles and I love turtles. It’s about Leatherback sea turtles and it gave me facts about Leatherback sea turtles. Facts like their mass is 550 – 1,500 lbs , they are 6 – 7.2 ft ,and they eat  jellyfish and sea squirts. So that is really cool to me that their mass is 550 – 1,500 lbs and that they are 6 – 7.2 ft. Also that they eat jellyfish and sea squirts in the sea. 


I like this book and I hope you will like this book just as much as I do. Sea Turtles have always been my favorite animal my whole life because I had a turtle when I was little. I like them because they swim and I also love swiming. Did you know that the leatherback sea turtle is endangered?

Our Solar System by Seymour Simon

Our Solar System by Seymour Simon is about the solar system and the book tells you all the information about the planets in the solar system. Its genre is non-fiction. Personally, my favorite part of the book is when I read all about Mars and how back then people thought there were canals on the planet.


I think this book is really interesting to read and educational to the people who want to learn about astronomy. I feel this book will be very helpful for learning astronomy.

Ten True Tales: Poice Heroes by Allan Zullo

Ten True Tales: Poice Heroes by Allan Zullo is sad and happy. It is a nonfiction book and it feels like you’re with the police for a day. The book covers problems, going from one thing to the next. In one chapter there is a traffic stop that is not working right. The book tells what police do  when they are trying to keep kids safe.

I like the book because I like cops. It’s like you are with a lot of cops. This books reminds me of fast paced hockey.

This book is called Allen Iverson and the author is Glen Macnow.  This a biography about Allen Iverson and what he did in his life. He was born on June 7, 1975 . When he was a little kid he loved basketball and he always wanted to be a basketball player. He grew up in poverty in Hampton, Virginia.

Tom Brady by Jeff Savage

Tom Brady grew up in San Mateo, California.  When he was young his childhood idol was Joe Montana. In the book Tom Brady by Jeff Savage, you can find out funny things about Tom, like how when Tom was young he was a sore loser and it got to the point where people didn't want to play with him. It also goes through some of his superbowls and his life off the field.

I loved this book because I live in Rhode Island which is in the New England area, thus meaning I'm a Patriots fan! It was nice reading about our hall of fame QB after Super Bowl LI and the forever known comeback. I also enjoyed learning about some of the Super Bowls I didn't watch.

Army Delta Force by Carlos Alvarez

The book, Army Delta Force by Carlos Alvarez, tells you about the guns they use in the army. It also explains where the soldiers are most commonly deployed, and what kind of missions they go on. Sometimes it also tells you what equipment they use and how they use it.     

I like this book because it gives you fun information and it is also interesting to know what kind of weapons, and equipment  the army uses. I also think anyone who likes or wants to go into the military will enjoy this book and the other books that are just like it, such as Night Stalkers, Marine Expeditionary Units, and Army Rangers.

100 facts you should know: Weather by Clare Oliver

100 facts you should know: Weather is by Clare Oliver. This book has facts about weather and what would happen if you were inside it. There are tornados, hurricanes and microbursts. Tornadoes form in flat land and hurricanes form along the beach on the coast. If you are in the midwest you get tornados, if you are on the south coast you get hurricanes.

I like this book because weather can be severe or cold snow. Snow is fun, because you go sledding, build a snowman or igloo. In severe weather you have to hide in a bathroom, cellar or in a shelter outside. I like to read books that have facts and nonfiction.

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.

The U.S. Navy Seals: The Missions by Jennifer M. Besel

If you are not a nonfiction lover then The U.S. Navy Seals: The Missions, by Jennifer M. Besel, might not be for you. The plot of the story is that the U.S. Navy Seals need to do very dangerous missions to protect their country from terrorists and disarm any enemy bombs. What dangers will you read about in the stories? I would say this is for grades 4-6.

The reason I like this book is because it has parts showing the hardcore things these men do.
One thing they do is being handcuffed by their hands and feet.  They do that because it's part of their physical training.

Lionel Messi: A Soccer Star Who Cares by Kimberly Gatto

In Lionel Messi: A soccer Star Who Cares by Kimberly Gatto, Messi is an amazing soccer player who was very poor as a kid. He has growing problems that causes a disability where he can’t grow normally. When he starts playing soccer, no one thinks he is going to make it anywhere because of his size. In the title the author says, a soccer star who cares. That is because he has like three charity programs and gave about 100,000 dollars to each cancer hospital in his programs.

I relate to this book because I love playing soccer, it is my passion and my life. My favourite team is Barcelona and my favorite player is Lionel Messi, so I really relate to the Lionel Messi biography.

Apes and Other Hairy Primates by Richard Platt

My book is Apes and Other Hairy Primates by Richard Platt.  It is about primates, like orangutans, apes, or baboons.  This book is mainly about the world of apes and other monkeys and their habitats, what they eat, and what they do all day.  You should know that this book is informational, so you would love this book especially if you like learning about monkeys.  I should know because I love monkeys!  I found this book very interesting. One interesting fact I read in this book is that gorillas are more scared of us than we are of them. You should read this interesting book about monkeys.

Weather by Jonathan D. W. Kahl

The National Audubon Society First Field Guide: Weather is by Jonathan D. W. Kahl.  This book is very informative about the type of weather that happens in the world, including cyclones, clouds, and tornadoes.  It has plenty to see and it tells if they’re dangerous or not.  Other books in the series, like Insects, showed if the insects bit or were poisonous.  Weather, Minerals, Wildflowers, Insects, Mammals, and Reptiles are all titles in the series.  I can’t tell you too much, but I can advise you to read the series.  The books are awesome to read.  Different types of weather are important to know because some can be really dangerous, like tornadoes.

FBI Heroes by Allan Zullo

During the school year I read a book that was titled, FBI Heroes, by Allan Zullo. This is a realistic, science, nonfiction, informational, crime book.  In this book there are many selections and many investigators who solve crimes from murders to kidnappings, Friday night bank robbers to terrorist attacks. The FBI Heroes don’t let the criminals get away with anything and that’s why they live by the motto Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity. The book took place in the present at all different crime scenes. This book is very informational to students who want to study or be an F.B.I Agent for a job. I would make a text to world connection because this book teaches you how to be sneaky heroes without letting the criminals know! These criminals receive severe punishments, such as the death penalty or life in jail. This book and all its themes interest me a lot.  I would highly recommend this book to students who enjoy reading Allan Zullo books, or the amazing Ten True Tales series!  Don't forget to check out Allan Zullo’s amazing website by clicking on the title link above.

Guinea Pigs by Mark Evans

Guinea Pigs is a book by Mark Evans which tells how to care for a guinea pig.  Guinea Pigs like their cages to be clean and they also LOVE to have fresh hay, pellets, and WATER.  There are a couple of different guinea pig breeds; some are Abyssinian, American, Agouti, Texel, Wavy Rexes, Shaggy Shelties, Silky Satins, Peruvians, and Crowning Crests.  Like all rodents guinea pigs’ teeth never stop growing, so you need to make sure your guinea pigs’ teeth aren’t too long or else your guinea pig will be unable to eat.   So make sure your guinea pig has hay, wood, apple or willow branches, or chewable tunnels.   This will make your guinea pig happy and healthy.  Also, I have 2 guinea pigs they are both baby guinea pigs and are both 1 year-old.  One is an Abyssinian named B, and the other one is an American Guinea Pig named DJ.   Hope You Enjoyed!  Question, do you like guinea pigs?

Marsupials by Nic Bishop

The book Marsupials by Nic Bishop is about animals that live in the wilderness and how they survive. The animals live in a whole lot of interesting places, like trees and underground. If you like animals and informational books you would like this book about marsupials. There are more than 300 types of marsupials, from possums that glide from tree to tree, to dunnarts that nest in hollows. I really enjoyed this book because I enjoy reading books about animals and books that are filled with information. I anticipate that people reading the book will really enjoy it.

Heroes of 9/11 by Allan Zullo

In Heroes of 9/11 by Allan Zullo, Captain Jay Jonas and Officer David Lim are heroes from 9/11.  When the towers fell they were both inside and they heard it falling, but they still wanted to stay inside to save people.  More than 3000 people died that day and many were injured.  Some people were okay but others didn't make it.  Officer David Lim and his dog Sirius were in the tower when it fell.  When the tower fell, Officer David Lim’s dog died instantly.  This reminded me of when my sister’s house burned down; firemen came to put the fire out. I would recommend this book for people who like sad and scary books or nonfiction.  You'll need to check this one out from the public library.

Shelter Dogs: Amazing Stories of Adopted Strays by Peg Kehret


The book Shelter Dogs by Peg Kehret is about 8 dogs.  The dogs used to be strays who find really good homes at the end. To me I really like the personalities of these beautiful animals. When these animals are brought into the shelter, they are not in good condition at all.  When dogs get brought into the shelter people who go to the shelter to adopt a dog want animals in good condition.  Dogs that get put up for adoption in bad condition don’t get adopted. But when people go to the shelter to see the dogs in this book, they feel really bad that they are not finding good homes. Since the people feel really bad, they give them a chance with their lives and these people bring them in. What really touches me is that there are really good people and they decide to be good to other people or even the animals that are here in this world. These animals are here for a reason and that reason is to make a difference in this crazy place we call Earth. I hope you enjoy this book very much because I know I did, and remember to read other Peg Kerhet books.
