The True Blue Scouts of Sugar Man Swamp

The True Blue Scouts of Sugar Man Swamp

By Kathi Appelt

The True Blue Scouts of Sugar Man Swamp by Kathi Appelt is about two raccoons who work in a swamp, doing jobs and following the stars and the fantastical Sugarman for direction. It is a charming story about frindship, perserverance, believeing in each other and fighting with courage for whats right. I would reccomend this books lto lovers of animals and bravery.

The Terrible Two

The Terrible Two

By Mac Barnett, Jory John

6 Reasons Why You Should Read THE TERRIBLE TWO 1) Ever pulled a great prank? The characters in this book may just have you beat. For example, in the first few pages someone pulls the ULTIMATE prank on the school principal. This book will make you want to become a member of the super secret pranking society known as the International Order of Disorder. 2) The book has really short chapters that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Be careful you don't stay up TOO late devouring chapter after chapter under the covers with your flashlight. (I'm a teacher. I had to say it.) 3) You'll meet two hilarious characters who will have you laughing out loud constantly. Miles and Niles will become so real to you that by the end you'll swear they're good friends of yours in real life. 4) Do you know what it feels like to be the new kid in town? Pretty tough, right? Well, you'll be able to understand exactly how Miles feels. He's forced to leave all his friends behind and move with his mom to a boring little cow town called Yawnee Valley. 5) Speaking of cows, you'll learn all sorts of funny, weird facts about these lovable bovine creatures. For example, "Cows have 360-degree panoramic vision. Want to sneak up on a cow? You can't. They see you." Crazy! 6) In this book, the drawings, hand written letters, photos, and cartoons are just as cool as the writing itself. If you're a fan of the Wimpy Kid Series or James Patterson's Middle School books, then you'll love The Terrible Two by Mac Barnett and Jory John. Bonus: This book is brand new. Grab a copy ASAP to be one of the first kids to read it in 2015!

Mercy Watson Thinks Like a Pig

Mercy Watson Thinks Like a Pig

By Kate DiCamillo

Mercy Watson might not be able to get her tail out of this situation. Her neighbors have decided that this is the last straw, and they want to call animal control. This book is hilarious, and I recommend it to people who enjoy comedy books, or people who enjoy other books in this series. I rate this book 5/5.

The Hunger Games: Official Illustrated Movie Companion

The Hunger Games: Official Illustrated Movie Companion

By Kate Egan

This book I can't even say I like it. I love. I watched the movie and then I just feel in love with the Hunger Games. The book is great, there was only one part that I didn't like a lot. That part was the start, but then from there is was awesome. I watch The second movie as soon as I could. Then I started The second book because I could not stop.

The Supernatural Society (The Supernatural Society, 1)

The Supernatural Society (The Supernatural Society, 1)

By Ogle, Rex

The Supernatural Society by Rex Ogle was a fun, fantastical, middle grade read packed with lots of diversity. Middle grade books always tend to be the highlight of my reads. They are so fun and bring me back to my elementary school reading days. After all this time, I still love sneaking away to a middle grade book. The nostalgia is real. The Supernatural Society by Rex Ogle popped into my lap and I couldn't help but be excited and giddy. I love fantasy reads in the middle grade world - they explore world building, friendship, magic, science, and all things cool! This book was all of that and more! There's diverse sets of monsters (and cultures!) in this book that can make everyone feel at home. There's some mystery and empathy in this book too, as we truly feel for Will since his life has been turned upside down during a divorce. We all had something like that as a kid - some thing that we struggled with, whether it be losing friends, divorce, difficulty at school, etc. We've all been Will in some way. So, you might have picked up on some of the story so far in this review. Will moves away with his Mom and his best friend/dog Fitz after his Dad gets up and leaves his family. They move to East Emerson, which seems weird and uninviting at first... but proves to be even worse than we imagined because it's full of monsters! But only Will can see them... His Mom thinks he's crazy! The teachers, the crossing guard... There's monsters galore! Eventually he meets some friends at school, adopted siblings Linus and Ivy. Linus is a smart guy who really only wants to focus on his studies, and his sister Ivy is a bit of an outcast, but she does see the monsters too! When Fitz goes missing, along with many other animals in the town, Will, Linus and Ivy team up to try to solve the mystery of the missing pets. Oh, did I mention there's witches, vampires, a mystical fox, a curse, and more magic and science packed tight in this book? It's all so engaging and fun! This book will keep you on your toes and hooked around every corner. I did love the diversity packed into this book. It feels like home. It's not just one culture or one person, it has almost everyone you can imagine. Throw in the sarcastic and fun narrator, and you've got one excellent read. It's reminiscent of reading a book that mashed Harry Potter, Percy Jackson and A Series of Unfortunate Events together. We've got a set of three friends, sarcasm galore, and lots of fun, fantasy hijinks. It's not a carbon copy of these by any means, but it reminds me of those books from my youth. I will say this book is a family friendly story that does not go deep into the dark realms at all. I can see anyone ages six and up taking a stab at this book (depending on your reading level, of course). My only negative for this book is how it ends. The Supernatural Society sets up a large series (that will hopefully be coming soon!). I like books that can stand alone without having to fear that you need to read the next book as soon as possible to continue the story. While I do think that I would pick up the next books in a heartbeat, I really didn't want to be left on a cliffhanger of "find out what hijinks from our friends are next..." in case the next book never comes. So, here's hoping I can get my hands on the next copy to continue seeing our new, fantastical friends. Four out of five stars.

Big Nate: Genius Mode (Big Nate Comix)

Big Nate: Genius Mode (Big Nate Comix)

By Lincoln Peirce

Jonathan Torres

Jonathan Torres September 25, 2015 Big Nate has a fantastic series. I think it is one of the best series. The main characters are Nate, Teddy, and Francis. The funniest is Nate because he is the main character in the series. I like him because he tells a lot of jokes. The book tells a lot of details. In each paragraph or sentences, they all have supported sentences. The book stays in the same topic. This book makes me laugh a lot. When I am sad I get cheered up when I read any book of Big Nate. The book has a lot of pictures. The pictures are funny and cool. It make me laugh. I would really recommend this book.
