The Last Kids on Earth and the Cosmic Beyond

By Max Brallier, Douglas Holgate

I think this was a great book b/c it;s kinda like the first book but there are different monsters and it is snowing. In this book Jack and his friends have good monster friends but they won't help them b/c they say it's to cold out. There's this girl who is part of the bad monster side that attacks Jack and his friends with zombies and Dirk gets bit by a zombie. He slowly turns into a zombie and they have to save him and not let a Ghazt enter from the underworld which would kill everyone on planet earth.

The Willoughbys

The Willoughbys

By Lois Lowry

I really recommend this book. A lighthearted story of orphans and their nanny. Tim, Barnaby A, Barnaby B, and Jane find out what it is like to be orphans. But the only difference is that they are happy that they are orphans. None of them liked their parents. Well, none of them could. Tim, the oldest Willoughby controls all of them. Although the system is absolutely unfair no one can talk back to Tim because he is the boss. No one would ever dare to talk back to Tim. That is, until nanny comes along, then Tim learns his lesson. During which the Willoughby's have a baby abandoned on their front porch, change the sad creator of Lickety Twist,(a popular candy) into a happy, joyful, fun person. Highly Recommended! :)

This book was great! It was a great final book, with a fun ending, and plenty of cliffhangers. I'm looking forward to book six. I highly recommend this book for people who enjoy funny, action/adventure books.

The Last Kids on Earth and the Zombie Parade

By Max Brallier

If you like the zombie apocalypse and adventure you should try reading " The Last Kids On Earth " book ,so far Max Brallier the author of this book has released 3 books from the same series which talk about an orphan kid called called Jack Sulliavan that has been "the worlds punching bag " for a while that was lately adopted by unloving family that used him and when the zombie apocalypse happened they left him all alone so he lived in his scummy not real brother tree house trying to survive the zombies and monsters especially the " Blarg " and has seat a goal for him self to save his crush June Delarosa and slowly he finds other kids and he makes friends . This book was very interesting and has attracted readers in all ages that love adventure even Jeff Kinney the author of the best seller book in New York " Diary of the Wimpy Kid " had a positive comment after reading this book . In my opinion this book was the best book I have ever read and believe me I have read a lot of books and if I would rate this book out of a five it would be 5/5 because it was full of adventure and thrills As Jeff Kinney also stated and it is so funny the best part for me is when he slayed the nasty dirty old monster the "Blarg " with his baseball bat that he added a little adjustments to with his friend and also one of the reasons that made me full in love with this book was how it made my imagination work I kept thinking of if I was put in zombie apocalypse and I started drawing my own tree house and defenses .

The Last Kids on Earth

The Last Kids on Earth

By Max Brallier

Wakefield was once an ordinary town-that was before the monster apocalypse took place. 42 days ago, the town was hit by waves of zombies, Dozers, Windged Wretches and a lot more monsters. 13-year old Jack Sullivan has been living in his tree-house ever since that day, when his foster family took off without him(he doesn't miss them). He is actually having fun in his tree house-he has armed it with catapults and moats, and has video games and supplies of Oreos and Mountain Dew from nearby abandoned stores. He gets to fight monsters and take action-filled photos just like he always wanted. The only thing is that he wishes he knew where his best friend Quint is, and he wants to rescue his crush June (wherever she is), and not that she knows he exists. One day he uses his Walkie, and finds Quint! Quint has been staked out at his own house, and has been busy with science experiments and preparing Big Mama(a super-awesome advanced car), for fighting monsters. Eventually Jack and Quint find an old bully Dirk, and the three team up. But Jack is dedicated to finding June and rescuing the damsel in distress. All the while he has to avoid Blarg, an interestingly smart monster who has it out for Jack. Will he succeed and survive in this new world? The story is told in a mixture of text and black-and-white comic book illustrations that is easy to read and follow along. I really liked the science involved in some of their adventures, like when Quint outfits Big Mama for battle. I recommend this book to elementary and middle school boys. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

Squirm

Squirm

By Carl Hiaasen

“This Summer, Billy dickens will fly across the country, hike a mountain, float a river, dodge a grizzly bear, shoot down a spy drone, save a neighbour’s cat, save an endangered panther, and then try to save his own father.” As soon as I saw these words I knew this was the book for me. And I was right! I love Carl Hiaasen’s books, he is such a creative writer and I loved Billy, his sister Belinda, and his mom who was this weird obsession was eagles, and his dad who has this super dangerous catching poachers job and Little Thunder-sky, “Lil” for short, and lastly, my favourite, Summer. She’s Lil’s daughter and also Billy’s father’s daughter. You should definetely read this book!

Popular: Vintage Wisdom for a Modern Geek

By Maya Van Wagenen

I found this book on a trip to Michigan in a cozy little bookstore, and this ended out to be a hysterically wonderful surprise! I still have my copy, and it's taught me much importance about staying true to myself. Popular isn't a theme, it's a category, but,... not unless you're happy with being an outsider.

Caveboy Dave: More Scrawny Than Brawny

Caveboy Dave: More Scrawny Than Brawny

By Aaron Reynolds

When I first saw this book, I thought it was your average, run of the mill, prehistoric fiction book. But when I finished it, I knew that this was a book that I would reread over and over again! In this book, Caveboy Dave, dreams to be a big time engineer. But when he and his friends are thrown into the wild, expected to kill 6 deadly beasts, he is hesitant to go. Will he come back victorious? Or will he suffer dreaded defeat? You'll have to read to find out! I would definitely recommend this book to a friend who loves engineering, or one who just loves a good laugh. This was a book I loved, and I'm sure you'll love it too!
