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.

The Chilling Hour by Collin McDonald

Do you like twisted suspense stories that chill your bones?  Or stories that aren't what they seem?  Then I think The Chilling Hour by Collin McDonald is the right book for you.  In The Chilling Hour there are spooky, warped, thrilling short stories that make you scream.  I like this book because you don’t know where the plot is going to end.  Also because when I read this book the author hooked me by using dialogue.  In one of the stories in this book there’s a family of four on vacation stuck in a blizzard waiting for help.  Will they get out in time before the avalanche hits?  And are they lucky they met a guy named death?  I don’t know!  You find out!

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

I love The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. In this book Katniss Everdeen gets a tragic surprise. Her sister, Prim Rose, is chosen to go into the Hunger Games. The Hunger Games are when all 12 districts of Panem give a boy tribute and a girl tribute who must fight to the death in the arena. The last one standing is the victor. Loving her sister more than anything, she volunteers in her place. A boy named Peeta Mellark is chosen to go with her. Katniss will fight to survive and become Peeta’s ally. Will she win or will love interfere?

I love this book. I like the action and how every scene leaves you thinking. Like wondering, “What’s gonna happen next?”, or, “Oh no!”. It is a mix of happy and sad. It is very realistic in a way. It reminds me of when I stay in New Hampshire in the woods.  I give it a 10/10 rating. I hope you read the book and love it like I did.

This book is called The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins. The main characters are Peeta and Katniss. Prim, Katniss’ sister, gets chosen for the hunger games, but Katniss goes instead. Many will go in,.. but only one will come out. The main idea of this book is to try to win, and be the only one left alive in the game.

I loved The Hunger Games. My favorite characters are Katniss, Peeta, and Rue. There was a lot of drama and fighting in it. Also my favorite part about it was when Katniss was with Rue and then they helped each other out. They were also good friends. I can relate to this book because Katniss is a big sister of Prim and I am also a big sister of my little sister Khloe. I rate this book 10 out of 10.

Review by Cheerleading

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is a very interesting and very exciting book. There are 2 main characters, Katniss Everdeen, and Peeta Mellark. They fight for their lives while battling in the 74 Hunger Games.

I connected to this because I fight with my sisters. I think the Hunger Games is a very good book. I think that anyone that likes adventure will love the Hunger games. The author Suzanne Collins is a very good author and she wrote a very good book.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is about one girl named Katniss and her sister, Prim. They are elected to go into the Hunger Games. But Prim was the girl who got selected to go into the arena alongside a boy named Peeta. Katniss did not want her sister to go into the arena so she volunteered as a tribute, replacing her sister.

 

   The Hunger Games is a thrilling book that makes you sit on the edge of your seat. There are 12 districts , the setting is in district 12. In each district one girl and one boy are elected to go into an arena and fight for their lives. At the end one girl or boy will win the Hunger Games.

                                                                         

  My connection is that Katniss, the main character has a sister Prim, she loves her sister and protects her. And that's how I  am with my sisters. Katniss is very brave and strong. She is a young woman who reminds me of myself.

First of all, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is a young adult book, so don’t expect to find it in your elementary school library.  I would ask a parent if you could read it, but if you can, it’s a great book.  One of the best I've read.  But, like the Harry Potter series, you have to read the whole set. This book takes place in the future where there is a capitol and 12 districts and the capitol rules over all the districts.  To show their power, they hold the hunger games, where one girl and one boy from the age of 12 to 18 (called tributes) from every district go and fight to the death with the other tributes. The main character’s name is Katniss.  She is from district 12 and her sister Primrose was chosen on the day that they start the hunger games (called the reaping day).  Because Primrose was chosen, Katniss volunteers to take her sister’s place as tribute.  She is going to go into the arena and fight to the death for the entertainment of the citizens of the capitol. Will she survive?

Read the book to find out!  Don’t forget to read the second book, Catching Fire, and the third, Mocking Jay.

I enjoyed this book, very much. The Hunger games, was one of the most addicting trilogies I’ve ever read. Katniss Everdeen is a girl living in the nation of Panem, a country in which North America once was. On the reaping day, her younger sister Primrose was chosen. Katniss decided to volunteer in place of her sister. The Hunger Games is a televised, annual event in which 1 girl and boy throughout the ages of 12 and 18 must battle as tributes. Katniss is in District 12 with another boy named Peeta whom she knows from school. When they have an interview with the host, Peeta announces his love for Katniss, and they are named star-crossed lovers. But, only one person can become the victor. Who will rein champion?  I recommend this book for mature children who love a good trilogy.

This is the first time I’ve experienced the writings of Suzanne Collins.  She is a great writer and describes many details in this fairly new book, The Hunger Games.  She has made the story of Katniss Everdeen very personal to me.  She, like myself, has to fight for what she wants in this world.  Katniss lives in Panem, or what once was North America.  She saves her sister Prim from going to the Hunger Games.  Her stylist Cinna helps her to become the girl on fire.  Read this fantastic book to find out more.  Enjoy!

This story involves a little girl and an old grumpy man that will lead to the secrets of this mysterious automaton.

The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick is very good.  It is about a boy named Hugo who lives in the 1930’s as an orphan. In the beginning of the book it becomes very interesting because Hugo goes through a lot of bad stuff.  One thing is that his dad dies in a fire so he lives with his uncle and his uncle goes out one day and never returns. If you like sad and interesting books, I would recommend this book.

The Invention of Hugo Cabret  is not only a good book, but it’s a fast easy read!  This book has pictures which make the book different than all the other books.  It also makes this book unique.  Don’t worry, this book has lots of pages with words too.  The Invention Of Hugo Cabret has a mystery with a twist! Also unexpected things happen.  Hugo always loved to work on clocks with his father but then something happens to their relationship.  Hugo learns how to provide for himself.  This is a realistic fiction book and it is fantastic!  I looked up the movies that Papa George made and they are real!

Out of the Dark by Betty Ren Wright

Do you like a good thrill?  Then Out of the Dark by Betty Ren Wright is the book for you!  Jessica Belland had seen something… Something no one would ever believe…Could it be a ghost out to get her?  Here’s why I like books about ghosts.  When I had just moved into my new house, I was about 2 or 3 and I was just getting ready for bed.  I was trying so hard to get to sleep but I couldn’t because there was a grown girl sitting on the end of my bed singing.  My mom didn’t see her, but I could.  My mom and I came to the conclusion that it was not a real girl!  I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes a good suspense and creepy book.
