The Long Haul by Jeff Kinney

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul by Jeff Kinney is a book about a kid named Greg that goes on a terrible road trip with his family. In the book the Heffley’s go on a terrible road trip that Greg's mom planned. There was not enough space so Greg was squished in the back and with not a lot of space who knows what will happen?

 I’ve only read this book and the first book, and these two books made me want to read the rest of the book in the series. But The Long Haul will be my favorite book because it's about a  road trip  that goes horribly wrong. The book made me think about times when me and my brother fight. It’s like I’m greg and my brother is Rodrick. My brother always used to kick me off of xbox. I also love this book because I’ve also watched all the movies and I like to compare them and see what's different .

The book Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul by Jeff Kinney is about Greg Heffley, who goes on a road trip to Disney World. The story takes place inside his family's car. In the middle of the story they even get a pig. The characters are Greg, Rodrick, mom, dad, Rowley, and Manney. When they go in the car, it turns out to be a bad car ride. Read the book to find out what happens.  


My thoughts and feelings are that this book was good, but I’ve read only one book, then this one.  I wanted to read this book because I’ve been on a long car ride to New York and it was bad.  Also I wanted to read this book because I thought the first one I ever read was funny, so I wanted to read this one. This book was more of a problem book, but also a funny book at the same time. I thought this book was unique.

The Long Haul by Jeff Kinney is about a kid named Gregory who is going on a road trip with his family. There is not a lot of room so there will be some problems along the way to their destination. They make some stops that might become trouble. This road trip might be the last one they want to have. With all the bad luck coming their way they might end the vacation before it even starts.


I liked this book because this is kind of like my life. In my family there is not a lot of room in the car, it takes a long time to get to the place we want to go, but in the end, we all have fun and we end up forgetting what happened a few hours ago.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling

   Strange things are happening at the magical school, Hogwarts, during Harry Potter’s sixth year in J. K. Rowling’s book, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. The mysterious Half-Blood Prince gives Harry advice in his Potion’s book. Private lessons with Dumbledore will explain secrets about the most evil Dark Wizard, Voldemort.  Harry knows that his rival, Draco Malfoy, and his Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Snape are up to no good, but nobody believes him.  What secrets about Voldemort will be uncovered? Who is the Half-Blood Prince, and what is Snape and Malfoy up to?
   If you liked the first five books in the Harry Potter series, you will love this one.  I love Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince because it is full of fantasy, mystery, and a lot of action. It’s about normal people like me living a life and going to school in a magical world.

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.

Air Commando by Jack David

I thought the book Air Commando by Jack David was good because it tells about the different air forces with the definitions you would need to know about the air force. When I read the book I learned a lot from it because it tells you what planes they fly and what uniforms they wore.


I suggest the person that's about to read this review, read the book because I thought it was good. The reason why I liked the book is because I like planes a lot. I like them so much that I know their names. My favorite type of planes are jets and cargo planes because they have so much space, and the jets are fast and look fun to fly.

The Old Willis House by Mary Downing Hahn

In The Old Willis House by Mary Downing Hahn, Diana and Georgie have been living at the Old Willis Place for what feels like forever. There have been many people who watch over the land, but none like this caretaker. This one is different, he has a young daughter. Diana wants to meet her but Georgie tries to stop her because he’s afraid.  Will Diana defy her brother, and befriend the girl or will she also be too scared to break the rules? Find out in this spine-chilling story.

I enjoyed this story because it is full of suspense. Every time you read it leaves you wanting to read more. I enjoy that it is the perfect mixture of scary and interesting. Diana is around the same age as me so I like to see the similarities and differences. Don't rely on me to tell you, go read it yourself!

Rise of the Isle of the Lost by Melissa De La Cruz

In Rise of the Isle of the Lost by Melissa De La Cruz, King Triton’s trident is lost underwater. Mal, Evie, Carlos, and Jay have to find the magical trident so no one else does. If someone else has the trident they can take over the oceans and probably the world.

I think it´s a great book and a good way to pass the time. It’s interesting because it’s about the ocean and I like oceans. What I like about the book is that it is unique and part of the Descendants series.

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

In Twilight by Stephenie Meyer, Isabella Swan is known as Bella has a normal life. Her parents are divorced, she lives with her mom and she just does what normal people do. Bella moved in with her dad and went to her new school. There, she meets Edward, who she finds out is really a vampire. When she finds out, she is scared but then she decides that he's not that scary. She falls in love with him. When she goes to play baseball with his family danger rolled in and Bella must leave and fast. Victoria is another vampire who eats humans. She decides that Bella is a target. James is Victoria’s mate. He tries to kill Bella. Will he succeed?

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.

Summer of Bad Ideas by Kiera Stewart

The book Summer of Bad Ideas, by Kiera Stewart is about two cousins Edith and Rae. Edith is a well behaved girl and obeys the rules. Rae is daring and outgoing and does not obey the rules. They were on vacation in a swamp in an old house that their grandma had when she was alive. No one has been in the house in 4 years. Edith and Rae find a letter with bad ideas to do over the summer.  For example, they had to catch a snake bare handed and Edith is afraid of snakes. They sneak out and they need to complete daring tasks. Will they survive, will they fail or will they make it through the list?

I love the way the author includes suspense, it kept me off my seat. I could not stop reading the book. I like how the author includes very good details in the story. The story reminds me of when I had to complete a “to do” list for summer a couple of  years ago and I completed it.  Read the book to find out what the rest of the list is.

Big Nate on a Roll by Lincoln Peirce

Big Nate On a Roll is written by Lincoln Peirce. Nate and Arthur -are selling wallpaper and whoever sells the most will win a skateboard. Arthur gets ahead and Nate falls behind. Nate tries to distract Arthur.  Will it work? Nate tries really hard to catch up. Will he catch up or will Arthur win the skateboard?


I like this book because it is funny. The author puts a lot of detail in the story about Nate and how he tries to sell things. This book reminds me of Zinkoff from the book Loser, because when Nate rides his skateboard off the bridge, it's like when Zinkoff trips over his own feet, and falls down.

Review by pineapple

The book Big Nate On A Roll by Lincoln Peirce is about a kid named Nate. Nate got in trouble for nothing. The thing he got in trouble for was he was in charge of holding the ladder for this kid Arthur.  Arthur dripped paint in Nate's eyes. They both fell over. But Arthur fell on top of Nate and Nate got in trouble. Arthur did not get in trouble.

I connect with the book Big Nate because in the beginning he gets in trouble for nothing. This is just like me. I do nothing and I always get in trouble for nothing with my little brother. But after all of that, I really liked the book. Nate always gets in trouble, but he always makes it better with his plans.

The Great Gilly Hopkins by Katherine Paterson

The Great Gilly Hopkins by Katherine Paterson, is a book about  a little girl that got sent from home to home over and over again. Finally Gilly goes to a foster home and the foster mom’s name is Mrs. Trotter. She has another foster boy there. His name is William Ernest. Gilley hates the foster mom. She said that she is a fat hippo.

I feel bad that this can happen in real life and that kids have to go through being sent from foster home to foster home, over and over again. I would never want to have to walk in Gilly’s shoes in my life. One of my best friends from the day I was born was going though a lot. When she was one, her parents got divorced and she stayed with her mom and went with her dad on the weekends. It is now 2017 and she's eleven. Her mom had another baby with a different guy. Her mom  now sees her on the weekends. My friend that's 11 is now with her dad. I don't get to see her as much any more.
