Dead End in Norvelt (Norvelt Series)

Dead End in Norvelt (Norvelt Series)

By Jack Gantos

Before reading this book I was a little skeptical, but it turned out to be an amazing book. I read it with my class, because the teacher assigned it to us and couldn't put it down. Though it isn't entirely true story, the author, Jack Gantos, used his name for the main character and some characters are based off real people. Jack, a kid who has grown up in Norvelt his whole life, and when nervous gets bloody noses, is just starting summer vacation. But when he does some things that upsets his mother and one final act to set her off, he finds himself spending his time with Miss Volker, the old woman nearby, and the rest grounded in his house. Miss Volker has been it Norvelt her whole life and knows everyone there so she's in charge off the obituaries for the local paper. But whats starts as a normal summer job (against Jack's will) , turns into a mystery as the old ladies of Norvelt start dropping dead and can only take Miss Volker and Jack to get to the bottom of. It is a very fun book that will be making you beg for the second, just like it did to me, but luckily it will be coming out sooooon!!!!!!!

Ivy & Bean: Bound to Be Bad (Ivy & Bean, Book 5)

Ivy & Bean: Bound to Be Bad (Ivy & Bean, Book 5)

By Annie Barrows

This book’s genre is folktale and it was written by Annie Barrows.This book is about two best friends that like to be bad. At first, Bean was always bad, she was the second meanest person on the Pancake Court ( their neighborhood). In the middle, Bean was bad and since Bean is bad now. Therefore, everyone is bad. In the end, Bean got a little bit nicer. The main characters are Ivy and Bean. Bean is always mean, naughty, and a show off. Ivy is kind, sweet and has a pure heart. Also, Ivy and Bean are best friends and they both are young. Two key events that happened in the book that can be “added” to the plot is “once you are bad it will turn everyone bad.” So, I think that you can try not to be bad, so nobody will copy you. This is added to the plot because Bean is always bad but Ivy is always kind so if that Bean learns from Ivy. Bean will not be bad and she will be kind and good. The main characters change from the beginning of the story to the end of the story by, when Bean became Ivy's best friend. Ivy was sometimes mean when she just became Bean's friend. Then, when Ivy was mean sometimes, Bean learned from Ivy and now Bean is mean. At, the begnning of the story Bean and Ivy were best friends. But, they were not that much mean. They had many friends on Pancake Court. At, the end of the story Bean’s friends got bad because Bean was bad.On page 7, it states, “ Bean picked her plate and licked the streaks of the leftover syrup.” On page 85, it also states, “ I think that I’ve got the bad,” said Bean and Ivy’s friend.One unanswered question I would like to ask the author is, “ Is Bean going to stay good?” I enjoyed this because Bean is weird and bad and Ivy is always, good, kind. I would recommend this book because when Ivy and Bean were bad that makes everyone bad and I learned that to not be bad or it will affect everyone. So, I think to try not to be bad and be good. Then, everyone will copy and they will turn out to be good, if you are good.

Dear Dumb Diary #9: That's What Friends Aren't For

Dear Dumb Diary #9: That's What Friends Aren't For

By Jim Benton

This book’s genre is Folktale and it was written by Jamie Kelly. First, the main characters of this story are Jamie and Isabella and Angeline there are more because they want a 4th one it was Jamie’s idea and Isabella and Angeline said yes to it.Next, The two key events that happened in the story are when she got home and her dad was drooling on the couch ‘’On page. 39 he made me think of the list when he was taking a nap. Also, her dad likes to watch 3 Musketeers, and she got the book. Also she changed from the end is at first she wanted her friends to get out of her Dear Dumb Diary, but then at the end she thought it was not right to kick out her friends of there Diary that they made. Pg.126. First, they were friends together then she had a dream that they were flower’s and a bee came by and stings her. She had this dream in her sleep. One unanswered question I would like to ask is why did you not answer I focused on my mouth is it because you had expanders? No, I would not recommend this book because it just talks about her friends and the 3 musketeers and then she got the book. That just makes me annoyed when she got the book because she just wants her dad to be happy about what she did of getting this book.

Surf's Up, Geronimo! (Geronimo Stilton)

Surf's Up, Geronimo! (Geronimo Stilton)

By Geronimo Stilton

I read this book in a jiffy and it was actually pretty decent. I bonded with this book because bad things have happened to me multiple times. Like Geronimo was having all these bad things occur to him. First it was listening to his cousin about booking a vacation in a sketchy spot. Next it was Geronimo going to the hotel and it being awful (the worst room he had ever seen). Lastly it was Geronimo getting fooled by his cousin and worker that made all the money off of Geronimo. Anyway was a chaotic vacation when Geronimo should've been relaxing!
