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.

The Last Kids on Earth by Max Brallier

   The Last Kids on Earth by Max Brallier is about Jack Sullivan is a 13-year-old kid that is going through a monster apocalypse. Jack thinks he’s the last of his kind and everyone becomes zombies. Jack tries to save the world, but his first move is to save his friends by thinking he is in a hero movie. 

      My favorite character is Jack because he loves movies and soda just like I do! My favorite scene in the book is when Jack has to sneak by Blarg to get a super small screwdriver to fix his walkie-talkie to talk to Quint. In the book there are people and middle-schools briefly in the book, but if it was real it would have it for a longer time.

Ghost Dog Secrets by Peg Kehret

Ghost Dog Secrets is written by Peg Kehret. I specifically picked this book because the understanding and descriptions are great. This is personally one of my favorite books knowing that they are trying to save someone. Rusty and his friend, Andrew attempt to save a dog that wasn’t treated properly by its owner. There was a house in a neighborhood that Rusty stumbled across and saw a dog that looked very skinny and badly treated. Rusty took pictures of the dog for evidence to prove the dog was poorly treated. Although Andrew's little sister found out and told her parents….

I have quite a good connection with this book because my family and I actually rescued our dog. My dog was in need of help when my mom and dad found her at an abandoned place near where my grandpa works. They then decided to surprise us with the dog around four weeks later as a present after we got home from a friend’s birthday party.

Review by-R0sey

 

The story, Ghost Dog Secrets, by Peg Kehret is about Rusty and his friend, Andrew, saving an abused dog. Every day Rusty feeds a skinny dog chained up with no shelter or food. His friend, Andrew, soon helps. After several days of feeding this dog they decided to take it home but try to hide it from his mother.  Wendy, (Andrews' little sister) is following him around and figured out that they have a dog, and she told on them. There had been a ghost dog trying to get Rusty to follow him. Eventually, Rusty followed him and encountered Ra’s mean owner, who was making terrible threats.

This book reminds of something going on in real life, because dog abuse does happen in real life. This book is fiction, but I think some parts are very realistic.

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?

Something from Nothing by Phoebe Gilman

I like the book, Something from Nothing by Phoebe Gilman because it is heartwarming. It is about Joseph’s grandfather making him a blue moon blanket  when he was a baby to keep him warm at night and to chase the bad dreams away. When Joseph started to get older, the blanket started to get old too. It was frazzled and torn and his mom wanted to throw it out, but Joseph still wanted the blanket. So grandpa fixed and snipped and twisted and turned it, and he made the blanket into a vest that Joseph could wear all the time with him. Joseph liked it and the other kids did too. 

I like this book. It is so good. You might like it too because it makes you feel joy and warmth inside and the book is about family and children. You should go to your nearby library and try to find this book and go read it. Have a Good Day.

Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt

    Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt is very interesting because in the story there's this spring and if you drink from it you’ll live forever. While Jesse and Winnie were traveling through the woods, Winne found the spring and wanted to drink it because she was thirsty. But Jesse told her not to drink the spring but she wanted to drink it. So the Tucks kidnapped her to tell her about the water. While she was getting kidnapped, there was this man in the yellow suit who saw it. So the man in the yellow suit negotiated with Winnie’s parents to get the spring in order for him to tell them where Winnie is.

   The reason I liked this book is because it’s fiction and it’s a really interesting story. Also this book is a mystery. It reminds me of the time when I felt like running away because I was annoyed by my parents. I also would love to live forever.
