A Beacon Street Girls Fan

Beacon Street Girls Special Adventure: Freestyle With Avery By: Annie Bryant deserves a five star review!When Avery hears she gets to visit her dad this summer in Colorado she is psyched! Because of her parents' separation, Avery doesn't get to see her dad often. Avery is an energetic, sporty and fun-loving girl so when she gets to Colorado and hears there is a minor snowboarding competiton she is totally in! Also, when she hears her dad has a girlfriend who has a know-it-all daugher who is a year older than her and an evil cat named Farkle (a.k.a franken-cat), Avery just doesn't know how to handle it! Is too much pressure for Avery to be focused on the competition????

Beacon Street Girls Special Adventure: Maeve on the Red Carpet By Annie Bryant definitely deserves a five star rating! Maeve, a twelve year old girl, finds out that her dad and a famous producer are hosting a winter break film camp in her family's movie house. Maeve is planning on attending the camp while Maeve's little brother, Sam, has plans to spend the week with grandpa. When Sam discovers that grandpa has the flu, his vacation plans are changed and he ends up having to attend the camp. Sam ends up being the "filmotographer." When the famous movie producer's daughter, Maddie, arrives in a stretch limo, Maeve decides that she must be friends with this girl. For the first few days, Maddie was nice to her. When they have a sleepover, they both share their ideas for film camp and both love each other's ideas. The next day when everyone is sharing their movie ideas at camp, Maddie steals Maeve's idea!!! The directors chose Maeve's movie idea that Maddie stole (Maddie got credit for the idea). Now friendship is totally over. Both girls are fighting for the lead role. When Maeve finds out that there is a much more interesting role, she decides she should give up the fight and go for that. The whole time, Sam was shooting embarrassing moments of Maeve and made that into a little ad at the end of the movie called "Red Fooey". From "Red Fooey," Maeve ends up being the star and having a happy ending!!

A Goosebumps Fan!

Sean Abney says:

The book I read was titled Goosebumps Horrorland "Monsterblood For Breakfast" by: R.L. Stine. I felt terrified reading Goosebumps even though it's not real. Goosebumps Horrorland is really scary because you don't know what's going to happen next. The title " Monsterblood For Breakfast " made me think it was monsters' actual blood for breakfast. When I finished reading the book I felt accomplished and a little scared.

The Mancusos Prefer:

alex mancuso: Diary of a Wimpy Kid. This book is for people who love comedy. It is sooooooooo funny.

abby mancuso: Found by Margaret Peterson Haddix. Found is one of my favorite books. It is for people who love mysteries. It involves time travel, ghosts, and three kids who figured out they are adopted and eventually came from the 1800s. At the end of the book they go back in time and it ends with a cliff hanger to the next book called Sent! I recomend this book for teen mystery readers!

Elizabeth Recommends:

Fancy Nancy Pajama Day. In Fancy Nancy Pajama Day I learned about feeling left out. I like it because it has a happy ending.

Horton Hatches An Egg. A bird wants to go on vacation and asks an elephant to sit on her egg. Horton, the elephant, is kind to help her. The story is silly and the ending has a funny surprise.

Bad to the Bone by lucy nolan. I think the author was so creative because instead of a person telling the story it was a dog. she must like dogs to write a story like this. By Anna V.

Ramona Quimby age 8 by Beverly Cleary. Recently I finished this book. It was funny because in chapter three Ramona dumped a hard boiled egg on her head. I wonder what inspired her to write this book? By Anna V.

Angela T. Recommends

I recommend "Two Bad Ants" by Chris Van Allsburg because the ants think the sugars are crystals and want to take them back to their home. But two ants stay behind and it's exciting what happens to them especially when they end up in coffee.

I like "What Planet are You from Clarice Bean" by Lauren Child because Clarice Bean's big brother's room is all messed up and when that happens her older sister runs upstairs to put on more makeup.

I also like "Slippers at School" by Andrew Clements because when Laura gets to her new class Slippers comes with her.

Moe the Dog in Tropical Paradise by Diane Stanley: I loved this book! Moe used his imagination when the cold winter weather got him down. I think kids of all ages would like this book.

An Oliver fan

Oliver Pig: The Surprise Seed is one of my favorite books. It is about a pig named Oliver who finds a seed that he didn't plant in his garden. He found it in the grass when he was planting seeds. He planted it and discovered that it was a squash plant. Everyone loved eating the squash after he picked it.

Mother's Holiday: Oliver's mom goes away for the day and comes home by dinnertime. Oliver's granny watches him and his sister, Amanda while his mother is away. He doesn't like what food his granny makes for him, no matter what it is. When his mom comes home he sang songs and told his mother he really liked whatever his granny made for him.

A Harry Potter fan

Harry Potter Books: I recommend all the Harry Potter books because, they are fun and exciting. J.K. Rowling did a very good job on creating the wonderful adventures of Harry Potter. She uses amazing details which make you feel as if you really are a character in her books. I personally enjoy her books because of the suspense. You may think one thing will happen but, it could turn out completely different. My favorite book out of the Harry Potter Series would definitely be the fourth book, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. All of the books use such great imagination. I hope that you enjoy the Harry Potter Books just as much as i did.

Haley Recommends:

I would recommend Diary of A Wimpy Kid 2 because it has very cool drawings and is easy to read. In this book, a boy named Greg tells about his life as a wimpy kid. He and his friend, Rowley, get into mischief and trouble.

Brady's Picks

The Year of Secret Assignments

I think The Year of Secret Assignments is an awesome book. The book looks huge but don’t let that keep you from reading it, you get so caught up in the book that it only takes you a few days. The format is the coolest part about the book because it’s all in letter form. This book will crack you up!

Camp Babymouse

Camp Babymouse shows how much fun it is to be outdoors. Babymouse is not the camping type so it‘s funny to see what mistakes she makes. With her wild imagination you will laugh so much!

Noah's Picks

I read H is for Home Run by Brad Herzog. I liked it because it tells everything about baseball. Baseball is my favorite sport. I like the pictures because someone drew them and they are really good.

I read The Adventures of Marco and Polo by Dieter Wiesmuller. It's about the adventures of two animals going on a trip to Antartica and Africa. I really liked the pictures. I liked how they both visited each other's home and they both decided that they like their own best. Even though they didn't like the other's home, they could still be friends by writing to each other. It is a good story about friendship.

I read Katie Kazoo Switcheroo: Anyone But Me by Nancy Krulik. This is the first book in the Katie Kazoo series. I like it because she says she wants to be anyone but her because she has bad luck. She even turns into a hamster! It has a happy ending.

I read Pioneer Sisters (A Little House Chapter Book)by Laura Ingalls Wilder. It's really cool because it's about the "olden" days and it's fun to imagine life back then.

She changes to a famous ice skater and snow boarder. I really liked it because it was funny and I really liked the main character--Katie.

I read Little Ballet Star by Adele Geras. I liked it because the little girl got to go on stage and dance. The book describes the girl's birthday and her Aunt takes her to the ballet. I really liked the pictures. They looked like real ballerinas and I liked the ballet stage.

I like Junie B. Jones because she is very funny. My favorite one so far is Junie B. Jones is a Beauty Shop Guy. I would recommend this book because it is very funny and teaches the lesson that you need years of pracice before cutting hair.

Her parents finally send her to school where she meets her teacher, Ms Honey. Ms Honey thinks that Matilda is a remarkable child because she can multiply anything in her head. Their school principal Ms Trunchbull is the meanest principal in the world. At the end of the book, Matilda's parents and brother are moving to Spain.
