Double Down (diary Of A Wimpy Kid #11)
by Jeff Kinney
View in Library Catalog
This book was super good and interesting. Like what if you could actually freeze someone and wake them up? I think it would be a good book for a teacher to read aloud to a class. You should read this book and if you do - enjoy!
Who Will Run The Frog Hospital?
by Lorrie Moore
View in Library Catalog
This book was on a book club list from a friend who read it in 2000. I am reading some of the books off that list. This was ok. It was hard to keep my attention. Just not for me.
Down On The Farm
by Merrily Kutner
View in Library Catalog
I give it 5 out of 5 because I liked how when I was reading it it sounded like a poem and I liked how after they said what the animals were doing they said, “down on the farm, down on the farm”. I suggest you should read it.
Ride, Fly Guy, Ride! (fly Guy #11)
by Tedd Arnold
View in Library Catalog
I give this four out of five stars because I like vehicles and there are lots of vehicles in this book. There are so many I can’t even name one! ?? I also liked it because when the rocket came they had nothing to catch him so Fly Guy snuck up on Buzz and Buzz said, “Is Fly Guy going to live?” And then Fly Guy snuck up on him and said “Yezzzzzz!”
The House On Mango Street
by Sandra Cisneros

This is one of my favorite books, so it's a re-read for me but it's one I'll always return to.
Golden Enclaves
by Naomi Novik
View in Library Catalog
This is the third book in the Scholomance Series. Naomi Novik created a world where there is a very unique magic system with rules and structure and we've been learning about it in the first two books, which were set in the magic school. In this third book, the world expands beyond the magic school, and we get a much better picture of the magical world and how magic users have adapted to it. Even with magic, decisions have consequences, and sometimes a bad decision is easier to swallow if the consequences are pushed onto someone else, or onto generations that haven't been born yet. But at what point are the consequences from someone else's decision too much? The main character still has a lot to understand about the world, herself, and the dark prophecy she's been rejecting her whole life. Because maybe the dark prophecy foretelling she'll be responsible for the destruction of all the safe havens of the would be a better result after all.
Arthur And The World Record
by Stephen Krensky

One reason I like this book is that I am a fast runner and I like running and the book was about running. I also liked it because Arthur won and he is the main character and it is interesting. I recommend you should read this book.
Miss Quinces: A Graphic Novel
by Kat Fajardo

It’s a good book as long as you know a little Spanish! I just wish it would translate it. I think the moral of the story is that you’ve got to be yourself.
