Stacey’s Mistake By Ann M. Martin

The Baby-Sitters Club Stacey’s Mistake By Ann M. Martin is a great book. This is a book about a girl named Stacey Mcgill who lives in New York City. She used to live in Stoneybrook Connecticut, which is where her friends live, Kristy, Mary Ann, Claudia, and Dawn. She misses her friends very much, so she invites them to New York City. That was a big mistake because Mary Ann is being really annoying. Kristy can’t keep her mouth shut. Claudia hates Stacey's friends and Dawn is afraid of the big city. Stacy wishes she didn’t invite them.

   

I like this book because it’s interesting. In this series, there are 94 books. I think this is the best series that you should read. I can’t decide which is my favorite part in the book though.

Dork Diaries: Tales from a Not-So-Happy Birthday by Rachel Renee Russell

Dork Diaries: Tales from a Not-So-Happy Birthday by Rachel Renee Russell. This book is about these 3 girls, Zoey, Chloe and Nikki. Nikki  is the main character. Nikki is going to have a luau party but there is a problem. The party is going to be canceled because her mom is ruining her party and she is very stressed. Later in the story Chloe has the invitations she made for the party and while she is gone the invitations are gone. 

My favorite character is Nikki's little sister Brianna. She is very funny and adorable and I love how she tries to make things for her sister. I can relate to this story because once I had a birthday party.

Kristy’s Great Idea by Raina Telgemeier

Kristy’s Great Idea by Raina Telgemeier is a graphic novel based on the novel by Ann M. Martin, and part of The Baby-sitters Club series. The character in the book that is my favorite is Kristy. My favorite scene is when Kristy wants to start a babysitters club. Kristy has some friends, their names are Claudia, Mary, and Stacey . The plot of the book is the story starts in the beginning of 7th grade and at Claudia's house. The B.S.C. (or Baby Sitter Club) meetings  are in Claudia's room. 

The reason I like this book is because there's a lot of friendship and babysitting. There is a show on Netflix with two seasons called The Baby - sitters club. The show is as good as the books. I think you should read the book, then watch the show.

Dog man Fetch-22 by Dav Pilkey

Dog man Fetch-22 by Dav Pilkey is a really fun book! There are a lot of plot twists! Like when an evil fish named Flippy was being mean, but then it turned into  a story that was made after one of the many other Dog Man books came out. It's also clever that at the beginning of the book the author  Dav Pilkey told us the real authors were two little kids named George and Harold. The main character is a dog/man which is why he is called dog man. There is a reason why he is half dog and half man. The story is in the front of every book.

            I really liked this book when I was younger. I would say it's from a 2-3rd grade level book. The best part about it is that it's easy to read. All the Dog Man books are easy to read because they are graphic novels. I also like that every once and awhile there are jokes, and they are not corny, they are really good sometimes. The book reminds me of my auntie’s dog because all the men had connections to the dog, but none of the girls did.

Amulet 8: Supernova by Kazu Kibuishi

This is a book review about Amulet 8: Supernova by Kazu Kibuishi. This book is from a series of 9 books but right now there are 8. The ninth, and the final book in the Amulet series has not came out yet. Google says book 9 will come out October 25, 2022. The main character is Emily. She is the strongest character in the Amulet series. She is powerful because of an amulet she found in book 1. If you have not read book 1 yet, this is how she got the amulet. In The beginning, Emily’s dad died in a car crash. Then she moved into her great grandpas houes and found the amulet.

This book kind of reminds me of Ukraine and Russia because they're in a war and in the Amulet book series there's also a war going on. If you like action-packed fiction themed graphic novels with magical powers and wars, this is the book for you.

The Guardian of the Realm by Elisabetta Dami

The Guardian of the Realm by Elisabetta Dami writing under the pseudonym Geronimo Stilton is full of adventure, action, and comedy. There are many surprising moments, and unexpected twists and turns. There are many characters, animals, and other fantastical creatures. One of the surprising moments is when a HUGE sea snake comes from the water and the main character is terrified! Will he find a friend?

             

The events of The Guardian of the Realm reminded me of the first book in the series. I want to do exactly what they did in this book, like go to new places, explore, and much more. This is the 11th book in the series Of the Kingdom of Fantasy. For me, the title of the book expanded my imagination and beliefs.

Grime and Punishment by Dav Pilkey

Grime and Punishment by Dav Pilkey is part of the Dog Man series. So the main plot of the book is that the dog man is in big trouble and Petey’s dad gets out of cat jail and they have to stop him. I really liked the books. It was really funny and fun to read. My thoughts about this book are that when I first started reading it, I didn't like it. But after I read it for a little bit, I really liked it, because I like all the action. I just wish I could write a book. 

This book is like Captain Underpants. My favorite character is obviously Dog Man, but I also kind of like Petey’s son because he is very funny. I don't feel like telling you guys my favorite scene because I don't want to spoil it. But if you want to hear, then keep reading, but if you don't, skip this. My favorite part is when Pete's father turns the bag into a human with the spray. This book is fiction and this is my book review. This book is a Graphic Novel.

Dog Man: Mothering Heights by Dav Pilkey

 

Dog Man: Mothering Heights by Dav Pilkey is about Dog Man, who has to go through the troubles of having a cone on his head. Lil’ Petey who keeps trying to keep Petey on his good side. As well as Petey who is trying to be on tv without any interruptions. All in all, all the characters have their own problems that they’re all going through.

I think that this book is really funny, has a lot of action and is easy for anyone to read. Although I do suggest that you should read all the other dog man books before you read this one. I really like this graphic novel series and I believe it is the best.

Golden State Warriors by Sam Moussavi

Golden State Warriors by Sam Moussavi is about basketball with the Golden State Warriors and part of the Inside the NBA series. The state the warriors are from is San Francisco, California. The thing I like about this book is that it gives a lot of facts about the Golden state warriors. What years they played in how many championships they had. They talk about all the old players back then. 

This reminds me of myself, because I play basketball. And it talks about the players like Stephen Curry, who during 2015-16  had a .908 free throw average and in 2016 he made 1,593 three-pointers. Curry had 40 playoff game wins. And he made three NBA all-star teams. It talks about the greatest moments about the warriors during the 2015 NBA finals. The Golden State Warriors won 67 games during the regular season. I love reading basketball books and this one is my favorite.

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?

Junie B. Jones is a Party Animal by Barbara Park

    In Junie B. Jones is a Party Animal by Barbara Park, Junie B. Jones gets invited to Lucille’s slumber party, at her rich Nanna’s home. Junie B’s friend, Grace, is also going. They’re excited because they consider Lucille extremely rich. She wears elegant clothing has rich furniture and brags about her fancy life. Spending your time at a rich nanna’s house would be amazing, right? At least she thought so. 

    This book is mostly written for younger audiences. It's funny and child friendly. My favorite character is either Junie B. or Lucille. Junie B. is funny because she isn’t mature enough to know many things, and Lucille has a sassy attitude like most little kids. This book reminds me of when I was in kindergarten and acted like a crazy kid when I knew absolutely nothing. Junie B. is like other kindergarteners, too hyper!

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.

Warrior Cats Dark River, by Erin Hunter

Warrior Cats Dark River, by Erin Hunter is mostly about these 5 cats, Willowpaw, Jaypaw, Hollypaw, Heatherpaw, and Lionpaw. These cats have certain bonds to Items/Cats. I will tell you a little bit about each of them.

Jaypaw is a cat who is a gray shorthair, blind, and the medicine den apprentice. While he is with Leafpool, the medicine cat, he finds an ¨Odd¨ stick, with strange claw marks. He finds this stick by feeling around for herbs on the small beach around Riverclan. He has the ability to invade dreams of other cats, but Jaypaw insisted that he doesn't ¨Invade dreams¨

Lionpaw, a gold pelted cat who´s ¨mentor¨ was a cat from Starclan, or maybe the dark forest.. While this cat helps Lionpaw to get stronger each day, the cats become more skeptical of where Lionpaw sneaks off to in the middle of the night.. While he gets stronger and more mysterious, the cats wonder where he is every single dawn. He appears to find some tunnels to meet his good friend.

Heatherpaw, a sandy pelted cat with blue-ish,lavender eyes and a devoted companion to Lionpaw, is one of the bravest apprentices. She makes up her make-believe clan with Lionpaw in the most claustrophobic tunnels, she only believes that Darkclan would be powerful enough to stop anything, only with Lionpaw of course.

Hollypaw, she's the thinker, the politician. Hollypaw believes that the warrior code is nothing more than the root to her every decision. She would hit the hardest paths in front of her deciding what's good nor bad, and sometimes those paths come to a hard stop and a turn in the tracks.

Willowpaw, the bestest friend to Hollypaw, helped her when she tried to fix the problem. Hollypaw thinks Willowpaw is a great friend. This gray musty cat, medicine cat and apprentice to Mothwing.

These 5 cats all have stories, Not together, but each other.

I really liked this book because it made me feel confident and courageous, I felt like I was a wild cat, battling to save the clans. As I read this book it felt more exciting when I dived deeper into the book. I liked reading about the 5 cats and their stories. I also have a cat named ¨Max¨ who is an outdoor cat. I like to think about this book whenever he comes back inside/outside, and think if he is a warrior just like them.

Dork Diaries: Tales from a Not-So-Dorky Drama Queen by Rachel Renee Russel

 

Dork Diaries: Tales from a Not-So-Dorky Drama Queen by Rachel Renee Russel is a great book!!  Why, do you ask? Well Dork Diaries is a teen event book and it has events that you might have experienced or made connections with before. It would make a fantastic movie in my opinion. but if you go on the author’s page they have a podcast.  

You might have a connection with this book that you might have experienced too because the girl in this book Nikki, is being bullied by this girl Mckenzie. You might have experienced getting bullied and you would make a connection with this book. You might have ups and downs like Nikki too.

The title describes it because it is a teen Diary and that teen is Nikki. Nikki has a lot of crazy events in her life but it all makes it worth it in the end. This book will remind you of a regular teen movie.  This book kind of connects to me because once my diary was taken but it wasn't from my bully, it was from my sister! 

I would recommend this book because there's so much drama in Nikki's life you won't believe it, but in this typical book NIKKI GETS HER DIARY TAKEN AWAY AND EXPOSED! Look at the rest of the series and find out more about Nikki’s life!

Diary of the Wimpy Kid: The Meltdown

Diary of the Wimpy Kid: The Meltdown by Jeff Kinney Is a book about a boy named Greg Heffley who's trying to survive winter time. He is also trying to make it through middle school when he has a huge snowball fight with the kids on the flat part of the street because the kids who live on the hill of the street caught them trying to sled down the hill. They basically have a world war. Who wins? It was very close, but you have to read to find out.

In my opinion Diary of the Wimpy kid is one of the greatest book series of all time. I’ve read the whole book series and it is brilliant. It is comical, suspenseful, and awesome.

The House on the Cliff by Franklin W. Dixon

The House on the Cliff is about two brothers Frank and Joe, who are the sons of a famous detective. They have to solve a mystery about a smuggling gang. The boys use their smarts and athleticism to outwit the gang. They use their previous detective experience to solve the mystery. They face many challenges and have many close calls. This book is one of my favorite all time books and you should try reading it.

This book is very interesting and suspenseful. It is the 2nd book of the Hardy Boys series by Franklin W. Dixon and in my opinion one of the best. One of my favorite scenes is when they almost get caught spying on the gang. If you like mysteries and a lot of energy, then this is the book for you. This book relates to things that take place in the real world like crime and fraud. This book is for ages 8-12. When I read this book, I got so into the book I read for 2 hours and read 75 pages.

Magic Tree House: Dinosaurs Before Dark by Mary Pope Osborn

Magic Tree House: Dinosaurs Before Dark by Mary Pope Osborn is a book about adventures and thrills. In this one, Jack and Annie found a treehouse in the woods that they walk in. They decided to go up the wooden ladder to the little house in the tree. Jack and Annie make it up the treehouse without a problem. There are tons of books stacked and fallen over on the ground. There was this one that was open to a certain page. It had a dinosaur on the page for the picture. They say, “I wish I could go there”…………… Just then, the tree house that was still, was now spinning very fast. Then it stopped, but they weren’t in the same tree and woods. Where were they?

I love the part where they were met with a ton of dinosaurs! But this was the 1st magic treehouse book, now I want to read the rest of the series! I love how this book is very adventurous and I am too! The book reminds me of how my brother climbed a tree and I had to help him down. (He’s adventurous too). This author has written my favorite series!

Star Wars The Last Of The Jedi: The Desperate Mission

Star Wars The Last Of The Jedi: The Desperate Mission by Jude Watson is a great book if you like Star Wars or if you like science fiction, adventure, space, magic, or mystery. I like Star Wars and this book fills in some plot holes with Obi-Wan Kenobi. He has to look after his former padawan’s son Luke Skywalker on the Dual sun desert planet of Tatooine after his padawan turned to the Sith.

This book reminds me of other Last Of The Jedi books because they have some of the same characters, like Inquisitor Malorum and Ferus Olin and some of them also have Obi-Wan Kenobi.

The Land of Stories, The Enchantress Returns by Chris Colfer

 

I love this book, The Enchantress Returns by Chris Colfer, so much because the book makes you feel like you were just transported into a magical world. I think the plot is wonderful and is filled with magical ideas. I love how Chris Colfer included all my favorite fairy tales! My favorite part of the book is when we remeet Queen Red Riding and Froggy who were in the first book because it made me smile. I would recommend this book to anyone because it is packed full with adventure,mystery, and magic. If you like Harry Potter then I think you will like this series, In The Land of Stories. 

In, The Enchantress Returns, Alex and Conner who are brother and sister go back to the land of stories because they missed the magical world. When they get there they find out that the world is at risk! Alex and Conner have rounded up some old friends to help their world. If you want to learn more, I guess you are going to have to read it. If you like Harry Potter then I think you will like this.
