First off, just let me say, I could not put this book down. McCray did a fantastic job at writing this story. The way she had the whole plot set up was amazing! I really liked how she had the back ground of each character right inside the main storyline. Every chapter left you on edge as to what would happen next. There was never a dull moment in this book, even when all seemed quiet, the main characters could not let their guard down.

The Lion Who Stole My Arm was a very short book. It was not challenging for me to read. It only took one day for me to read. It only had 81 pages in it . I would recommend this book for someone who would like to read a short,easy book.

This book is one of the best books I have ever read. On The Bright Side has a perfect mixture of comedy and drama. One moment you may be crying, the next you could be laughing so hard you'll be rolling on the ground! After the first chapter I was hooked; I couldn't even put the book down! I was so shocked over how I could never guess what would happen next, which is usually a problem when I'm reading. I would definitely read this book again in the blink of an eye. This is a great book for teens.

A new student review of I Fly by Andrew Hawcroft

This book has given a lot of thought to what you should complain about and what you should think before you decide to leave someone behind. Seeing through Jimmy Cardinal's eyes makes our lives seem like a cake-walk compared to his. Noticing the last name "Cardinal," I saw that this is actually a bird type, which explains his power to fly.

This is a very good book. I like it so much because there's a lot of action and adventure. Though it can be sort of confusing at times, the mystery about Jeff’s great Grandfather will win you over.

A new student review of White House Wit, Wisdom and Wisecracks by Phil Dampier

VBat posted a new student review of White House Wit, Wisdom and Wisecracks by Phil Dampier. See the full review.

This book delivers exactly what it promises-  a neat package of quotes, trivia and facts about the 44 United States Presidents. Some quotes are funny, others are reflective, and some are inspirational. The book covers everything from Taft's bathtub fiasco to Woodrow Wilson's record number of golf rounds.

My favorite thing about this compilation is the context given to some of the quotes. Knowing the circumstances surrounding each inclusion gave the quotes relevance. I would have preferred a more thorough history of each president and the context of every single quote, but this may have jeopardized the easy-to-navigate organization of the book. 

All in all, this book is a great resource for presidential quotes and trivia. I would recommend it to any student looking for relevant Presidential wisdom for essays, or to the casual reader interested in clever, enlightening tidbits from each presidency.

100 Cupboards is N.D. Wilson's first installment in his new fantasy trilogy. He brings to life many new and different characters and this added to my enjoyment of his book. When you read as much as I do you can see similarities in characters from completely different books. I appreciated the uniqueness of Wilsons characters and enjoyed their adventures. One thing that stood out and was impressive was how I was able to connect, and sometimes even feel like, I was participating in this story.

This is the best book I've ever read! I would give it 6 stars if I could. It was really exciting and definitely a page turner.  I can't wait to read other books by Kenneth Oppel.  I like all the different characters and that the story is told from the perspectives of different characters.  The descriptions are really good, I felt like I was a part of the story.  I did not like Brogan, he was horrible.

 

I think Boundless is a good book for kids who like fiction, history and adventure.

I like this book because it has adventure and horses.  They are two of my favorite book topics.  The author wrote this book in a friendly, easy tone.  If she wrote it any other way, I wouldn’t have enjoyed it nearly as much.  I hope that whoever reads this book likes it as much as I did.  I recommend it for anyone 10+.
