Bad Guys in Do-You-Think-He-Saurus? by Aaron Blabey

The Bad Guys in Do-You-Think-He-Saurus  is about 5 heroes, Mr. Wolf, Mr. Shark, Mr. Snake, Mr. Tarantula, and Mr. Piranha, who try to get back to the present. They get blasted into the past while trying to save the world from aliens! My favorite character is Mr. Shark because he’s good at disguises! My favorite scene is when the “Bad Guys'' go into the portal. 

I love this book because of its hilariousness. The characters have a funny character design. I love it when Mr. Wolf says that the velociraptors can’t see him, even though they can. I also loved when Mr. Snake threw a rock at a poor velociraptor. Another part I liked was when Mr. Shark dressed up as a tree and Mr. Wolf was talking a lot, so the velociraptors found them. That reminds me of when I'm in my classroom and one person starts talking, everyone does! Anyways, I think you should read this awesome, hilarious Graphic Novel by Aaron Blabey!

Review by: The Enchanter

Bad Guys in Do-You-Think-He-Saurus? by Aaron Blabey is about the bad guys (good guys) who went back in time and got chased by dinosaurs. At the time period they’re supposed to be in, there is an ALIEN INVASION. When they had to come through a time portal back to their own time, they got something from the portal. But I won’t tell you what they got. It would ruin the story!

I love this book. It’s awesome and I’m not saying any more about the book because I want people to find out what happens, or what almost happens the second time. I just started the book, but I’m already done. Graphic novels are quick to read. Have fun.

Big Nate Game On! by Lincoln Pierce

I really like the book Big Nate Game On! by Lincoln Pierce, because it’s a graphic novel series and the character is funny. Big Nate Game On is all about sports, but it's not necessarily in order. For instance there was one event where a boy named Arthur is very lucky and Nate doesn't like him. He became first chair in chess instead of Nate. He even became a couple with Nate’s crush.

Nate plays basketball, baseball, and soccer. In baseball, Nate’s team has an embarrassing name. He plays left field, but he always says that there is no action in left field. In soccer, Nate plays as goalie, but when he makes a save he always gets hits in the face and gets hurt. In basketball, Nate always needs his lucky socks in his warm ups and games or else he he will lose. He likes to roast the other players.  Read the book and I think you‘ll agree it's funny.

The Warrior’s Heart Becoming a Man of Compassion and Courage by Eric Greitens

The Warrior’s Heart Becoming a Man of Compassion and Courage by Eric Greitens is about a Navy seal that has been on many adventures and gone to different places throughout his life. His name is Eric Greitens and he is a book author and writes about what his experience was like in the Navy as a Navy Seal. In the book The Warriors Heart, Becoming a Man of Compassion and Courage, Greitens writes about his whole life and his experience with helping kids and other people in different countries, especially countries that are in a war and where poor people that need help live in the streets and roads. It has a very good theme to it as well, because it teaches people to be kind to others and help out people struggling in life, especially kids that are homeless and need help. This book is very good for learning life lessons and things that are very wise. In the book he faces many obstacles especially when he is in the Navy Seals. This book is very interesting and you should definitely check out this book, I recommend The Warrior’s Heart for age 10+.     

This book made me think of the many obstacles I have in my life. Obstacles that I have to overcome, and learn from. So this book helps me deal with my problems because if Eric Greitens can do the things he’s done, then, I can definitely deal with what I have going on in my life.

Big Nate: In a Class by Himself by Lincoln Peirce

       Big Nate is an awesome series by Lincoln Peirce, but I particularly like In a Class by Himself, because I find it funnier and more relatable than the other books. Nate starts off thinking there's a test, and if he fails it, he’ll end up in summer school! Here's the thing, he forgot all his notes at school! When he gets to school it turns out that he worried for nothing because there's no test and, he forgot his lunch! So his friend, Teddy, offers to share his lunch, which was Chinese food, and hands Nate a fortune cookie. Nate opens it, thinking it will be something silly, but it turns out to say something way more than that. What did it say? It said that he will surpass all others, but I think Nate took it a little to far. The rest of the day does not go according to plan. But by the end of the day Nate did it! He surpassed all others! How? I guess you'll have to read the book to find out!
 
       Like I said before, I think that the Big Nate series is awesome, but I particularly like this one because I feel it's more funny and relatable than the others! This book kind of reminded me of some real life situations. I also like the colors on the cover on the book, I think they're eye-appealing and pretty. And the tittle is clever, given the events in the book. I really enjoyed this book, I hope you do too!

Love and Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch

     Love and Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch takes place in Italy. The main characters are Carolina and Lorenzo. Carolina’s mom recently died and she was sent to live with her ”dad” Howard, who works in a graveyard. Howard is not Carolina’s real dad. In Italy, Carolina meets Lorenzo, who is half italian like Carolina.

     I really liked this book because it was a romance and is about half Italian teenagers who end up dating. I really like the fact that the book is about a girl and a boy who set out to find the girl’s real father after reading her mother’s diary. I don’t relate to this because I’m single and don’t like anyone, but my best friend does. She relates to the romantic part but not the diary and father part. She has liked this boy for about a year and when she got into middle school, on her first month, she told him about how she felt. Now they are dating just like Lorenzo and Carolina.

Movie For Dogs by Lois Duncan

In Movie For Dogs by Lois Duncan, Andi wrote a book to Pet Press to enter a contest. She won second place, but Jerry Gordon, her nemesis, won first place.  Andi was furious. Soon, there was another contest for a short movie about dogs and she was going to help her brother win. Their movie made it to the final three and they went to Hollywood to talk about their movie. What will happen next? Will they win? Did Jerry Gordon enter this contest too? You’ll have to read it to find out.

Wow! I think Movie for Dogs was amazing and so much fun to read. At the end of every chapter it was like a new beginning to the story. This book reminds of when I entered a contest. I didn’t win and I was a little sad. This book is realistic fiction. Movie for Dogs was a book where you don’t want to put it down. I loved it.

Recess Warriors: Hero is a Four Letter Word by Marcus Emerson

I enjoyed Recess Warriors: Hero is a Four Letter Word by Marcus Emerson because of the imagination and adventure that the story shows. It's based on the adventures of Scrap, aka Bryce the main character. It explains what happens at recess at Armstrong Elementary school. The story-line changes every chapter. Everything happens during their recess. Although they are playing and pretending, the story makes it seem as if it were all real.

The art is amazing and some of the best style I’ve seen in a graphic novel.  The comedy is great, it reminds me of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. There are truly great character designs and the cover design is nice and colorful. It's a world filled with imagination where girls are power hungry pirates and zombies take over the school. Anything can happen in this world and that's why I love this book and I'm sure you’ll like it too.

The Baby Sitters Club: Kristy Ann Saves The Day by Raina Telgemeier based on the novel by Ann M. Martin, is about a babysitters club who were all best friends and then got into a fight. It takes place in a school, and in a bunch of different houses. When they got in a fight they didn't speak for a very long time but they didn't want anybody to think anything was suspicious, so they acted like they were not in a fight. At the end they ended up adding a new member to the group named Dawn. She was a very nice girl who loved kids.

 I like this book because it is interesting and a very good book, I really enjoyed reading this book. My favorite part of the book was when they got back to being best friends. I think in conclusion that this is an amazing graphic novel and is one of a series of books.

The book I will review for the blog is Virginia Hall the Spy with the Wooden Leg by Nancy Polette. Do you know who Virgina Hall is? Do you want to know who she is? Well Virginia Hall is a famous World war II spy because she was not afraid to fight for her rights. She lost her leg in a terrible accident but was still moving forward.

She got many world awards that the world was included in and many that were just for her and her family. She had best friends, colleagues, and even her own team that she formed and trained by herself. She was determined to make her hard dream become a reality.
