The Chamber of Secrets!

Harry and his friends, Ron and Hermione, go on a hunt to find the Chamber of Secrets. This is one of the most dangerous things to do at Hogwarts. That is why this book is so interesting.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is about a boy whose parents died and so he had to live with his mean aunt, uncle, and overweight, spoiled rotten cousin. One day, all of these invitations to go to a new school came through the door. After Uncle Vernon tried to keep the invitations away from Harry, they moved to a shack in the middle of nowhere. But Hagrid, a person who worked at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, came and personally gave him the invitation. This is how Harry Potter discovered he was a wizard. But sometimes Wizarding School can be a dangerous place.

It is my favorite book because its characters are so intense. This book’s characters are Malfoy, who is mean; Crabbe and Goyle, Malfoy’s minions; Hagrid, the gamekeeper; and Ron and Hermione, Harry’s best friends. Voldemort is the bad guy, but my two favorite characters are Fred and George Weasley. What I like about them is that they know all of the secret passages, and they are the twins, class clowns, and the inseparable pair. Of all the other books in the series that I have read so far, this one is the best.

I think I will give this book five paws. This is one of the best books I have ever read.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid Dog Days

The main character is Gregory and he tells about the time of his school and summer. Gregory has a little brother, Manny, that blames him for everything and a big brother, Rodrick, that is always mean to him. Gregory’s mom and dad are always either grounding him or trying to make Rodrick and Gregory get along.

     I liked this book because Greg and his best friend Rowly hang out a lot. Sometimes they goof off and do crazy things. Like one time when they rode a bike down an icy hill then Rowly broke his arm when he hit and ice patch then slid into something and broke his arm. That is why I like Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

I give this book five paws.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Silver Chair

The Silver Chair is about two kids who stay at a school and wanted to escape so they tried to go to Narnia because and they made it.The book is mainly about the three characters that are going on the adventure. To find King Caspian’s son Prince Rillian, who had been taken many years ago by an evil serpent witch.

        I really liked this book because it was very exciting. One example was when the witch turned to a serpent after trying to hypnotize them to think there was no sun or Narnia or no Aslan (the creator of Narnia).I also liked it because it was very different from any other books. It is the only book I have read that has giants, talking animals, and magical creatures, and bird monsters all together in one place.

       I would recommend this book to anyone who was interested in England, magical creatures and exciting , adventurous books that use swords, shields bows and lots of magic people, things, and secrets in Narnia. I would also give this book 5 paws.

The Blind Side

  The movie The Blind Side is based on the true story of Michael Oher.  This movie is about a homeless teenager who has a hard time when he gets taken in by a nice family. He is not used to these things that the family does. This story is very touching to me. What amazes me is that this homeless kid becomes a football star. The reason I like this movie because it is touching and funny.

This movie is funny because when Michael plays in a football game at football practice, he knocks every player down instead of just shoving the player. In one of his games against another school, Michael pushes a player too far. I really mean it because he pushes a player over the fence.

I think that The Blind Side is a very touching movie because when Michael gets used to his new family, he starts to care for them more. Michael gets in a car crash and tries to save someone by putting his arm in front of the air bag. Even though Michael hurt himself, he still saved someone’s life.

This movie is amazing. This movie has emotion and hysterical things and that is why this movie is my top favorite movie. If you see this movie, do you think that it will make you cry or laugh or maybe even both?

Over this entire movie is awesome because it real shows emotion.  The whole movie makes you feel like you are just watching a family movie. This gives emotion and family relationship. I love the movie The Blind Side.

Island of the Blue Dolphins

Karana is a Native American girl who lives with her little brother Ramo, big sister Ulape, and father (also the chief) Chowig on an island called Ghalas-at. Then, Karana’s father was killed when a group of Aleuts (European settling group) came to the island. After that a ship came to take them to another island to safety. Then Karana saw Ramo was on the shore with his fishing spear. Karana jumped out to sea to try to save him. When she got to shore, Karana found a pack of wild dogs had killed Ramo.

   I really enjoyed this book because Karana may have been stuck on the island, but she never gave up taking care of herself. She was brave, confident, courageous, and enthusiastic. For example, when she shot Rontu, she may not have taken care of herself, but she took care of an animal that could have killed her.

  I would recommend this book to anyone because I think that anyone would love it. It’s intense, it’s exciting, and it’s astoundingly amazing. I give this book 5 paws.

Stone Fox

What well you do if your grandfather was about to lose ever thing he owns? This book is about a boy that tries to help his grandfather pay the taxes he did not pay and save their farm. If they don’t pay they will lose their farm so the boy and his dog enter a race if they win they get five hundred dollars. They have to win and get the five hundred dollars to pay the taxes and save the farm.

I think this book is the best book I ever read because it has a lot of action and sadness. An example of action is they flow throw the race. An example of sadness is the dog dies during the race and it’s the first book I read of John Reynolds (author).

I recommend this book to people that love action and sadness. I loved this book I give it FIVE paws.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid Series

One of my favorite series is The Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. This series is about this kid named Gregory Hefley and his life. In middle school, he is trying to get a lot of fame but he can’t. Greg is kind of a jerk to his friend, Rowley. Rowley is kind of cool in middle school, but better than Greg.

I like these books because they are funny. For example, in the book Dog Days, Manny, Greg’s little brother, washes his hands in the toilet. I think that is the funniest thing in the book. In the very 1st book Manny eats a foot long tootsie roll! Also, Manny puts a cookie in Greg’s game system and now it does not work as well.

There are 6 books in this series. There is about to be a 7th book called Diary of a Wimpy Kid the Third Wheel.

I think this series is the best series I have ever read. I want to get the Third Wheel. I give this series 5 paws.

The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games is a book where two people from each district [12 districts] fight to the death until one victor remains.  Katness and Peta are from the 12^th district, the poorest district, are picked for the Hunger Games. This book is about the 74 Hunger Games and for the first time something different happens. Katness and Peta fight against 22 other people like Kato and Ru.

The Hunger Games is my favorite book. I like it because it is an interesting and violent story. They fight to the death— that is violent. My favorite part is when the tributes train for the Hunger Games. They show what they’re made of in the training. Some are ready, some are not. The Hunger Games is an amazing adventure.

         I would recommend this book for older readers and more experienced readers because it is a challenging book. I give this book five paws.
