A new student review of The Reluctant Knight

aeehrhardt posted a new student review of The Reluctant Knight . See the full review.

I liked The Reluctant knight a lot. In the first few chapters I didn’t really want to continue reading because it was sort of slow. But after that part it got more exciting and interesting. I liked how the chapters switched back and forth between perspectives when the characters were separated from each other. I liked them because I got to follow the different characters’ stories and that made it really clear what was happening. I definitely suggest this book to readers who like adventure and fantasy.

A new student review of Enders

JesusFreak posted a new student review of Enders . See the full review.

When I’d read the first book in the series, Starters, I didn’t think the series could get any better.  I’m happy to say that I was wrong.  Enders is full of excitement, edge-of-your-seat suspense, and an interesting main protagonist.  I find that Callie’s personality is life-like and true, and that her persistence on keeping Tyler safe is beautifully selfless.

One of the main things that I absolutely love is the jacket of the book.  It is beautifully done with bright bursts of colors that almost seem haunting.

I find it easy to connect with Callie throughout the entire book, and I love how she is always looking out for others.  Lissa Price did an amazing job writing this book, and I will definitely be looking for more of her work to read.

A new student review of Heartbeat by Elizabeth Scott

MIZZIQ posted a new student review of Heartbeat by Elizabeth Scott. See the full review.

The tone of this story is very dramatic and moves quickly. It’s not meant to be a masterpiece, but it effectively completes an emotional roller coaster of a book. It starts off with a very improbable situation but makes it seem completely real to the reader. As much as you want to laugh at Emma’s actions, her feelings always come off as genuine. This was a very quick and enjoyable read that was the perfect cup of tea for a snow day. If I had been looking for a more realistic book than I may have been disappointed, as I had to chuckle at some scenes, if only for the fact that the book took itself too seriously. Somehow this all fit together into a sweet teen romance that almost found its way over to being realistic. Realism however, is not what this book was about, and it worked perfectly.

This book was phenomenal. I could hardly put it down. I cannot wait for the next book to come out. It was very well written and keeps you guessing. It could have used some more closure at some points, other than that it was great. I would recommend this book for a teenager or older readers.   

A new student review of Julius Caesar Brown and the Green Gas Mystery by Ace Hansen

I think the story was great. It had several twists during the end. My favorite part was when Julius still got some money even though he was the second person to solve the case.This was something I was not expecting.and caught me off guard, I also like the ending because of how there's still another mystery at the end.In adittion, they finally begin to act like a real happy family becuse they learn how to deal with their dad's divorce. All in all, I would recommend other kids to read this book because of the unexpected twists that are in this story.For example, "SPOILER ALERT,"  I did not expect that Julius would buy something like big baggy pants so he wouldn't become embarrased in front of a girl. These pants kept the green gas from leaking out. Even a great solver of mysteries needs to worry about his appearance.

A new student review of SEVERED - A Tale of Sleepy Hollow by Dax Varley

If you like the headless horseman, then this is the book for you. This book is a good book for people who like horror and action stories. I liked this book a lot, so I think a lot more people will like it too. This book was a little slow, but other than that I loved it. The headless horseman sounded really cool, but I would never want to see him in real life. Would you want to see him?

    When I first started Played I was a little bored, but then it changed. I liked how Sam thought about Riley and her family. I felt like I was involved in the book because the events that happened captured my attention and kept it.  The book was very interesting, and I think it should have a sequel to it.    

A new student review of Why? by Joel Levy

I like this book because it has the most fascinating details to science fiction.  It tells the most interesting facts about science that can stump my teacher.  The author was very creative with the explanations and coming up with the questions.  I will definitely be looking for more books from this author.  My little brother and sister read it, and they enjoyed it as much as I did.  I recommend it for anyone 12+.

A new student review of Swim That Rock

muffin posted a new student review of Swim That Rock . See the full review.

I think this book is for readers who LOVE adventure! It is filled with humor and suspense.  The way the authors write this book makes you feel like you are part of the story.  While you are reading, if you close your eyes you can imagine what's going on. This book has an interesting cast of characters.  Jake is headstrong and likes to do things by himself. Jake’s friend Darcy works at the diner but she has a secret no one knows.  Jake’s mother is always worrying. Captain, is a strange man who tries to help Jake. Tommy, Jake’s best friend is committed to helping save the diner.

I LOVE how this book is told from Jake’s point of view because you can really understand how he feels.  I think that this book would be better if the language was a little cleaner, there is some “colorful” language. I would have liked more of an explanation about how his dad went missing.  The reader may be a little frustrated at the end when they are left with some unanswered questions.

I loved this book! It was one of the funniest books I have ever read! As soon as I started, I couldn't stop. I was hooked and read every chance I had. Kate DiCamillo has a great sense of humor and uses amazing vocabulary. My favorite sentence is, "This malfeasance must be stopped!" Thanks LitPick!
