I Survived the Battle of D-Day, 1944 (I Survived #18)

I Survived the Battle of D-Day, 1944 (I Survived #18)

By Lauren Tarshis

I think that I Survived: The Battle of D-Day by Lauren Tarshis is a great book in my opinion and I recommend this book to people in fourth grade and above. I really like the way the author shows how life was like during World War 2 in a village in which Nazis have control of it. The story follows Paul who lives in Le Roc (a fictional village) which is controlled by the Nazis and is trying to get a gift for his Mom’s birthday. As the story continues, Paul rescues an American paratrooper named Victor. Then, Paul unravels many secrets after Victor tells him that he is part of the resistance. After, Paul gets in the middle of a deadly, bloody battle on the beaches of Normandy known as D-Day. I really like how the author Lauren Tarshis flash-forwards to a cliffhanger involving Paul in the first chapter. The genre of this book is historical fiction and I would definitely recommend this book to people who love the I Survived series and historical fiction books.

11 Birthdays

11 Birthdays

By Wendy Mass

What would you do if had your birthday was 2 times in a row? Have another amazing day, right? But what would you do if your birthday repeated itself... every day?? Amanda and Leo are best friends. At least, they used to be. Ever since meeting in the hospital where they were born, they have celebrated their birthday together. But it's almost Amanda and Leo's 11th birthday, and because of some mean words said at their 10th birthday party, they will not be celebrating together this year. Their 11th birthday passes, with a weird encounter from the oldest women in Willow Falls, that everybody thinks is mysterious, and, to the kids, possibly even magical. But to their surprise, the next day, IT'S THEIR BIRTHDAY. AGAIN!! Somehow, their birthday repeated itself! But Amanda and Leo are the only ones stuck in this time trap... and it’s up to them to work together to try to break this spell. I really loved this book!! It combines adventure, comedy, and friendship into an awesome story! I couldn’t wait to read the rest of the series (which is amazing as well, by the way!) and I think you’ll enjoy it too! Wendy Mass is an amazing author, I highly recommend any of her books! I recommend this one for ages 8+.

LEGO Star Wars in 100 Scenes

LEGO Star Wars in 100 Scenes

By Daniel Lipkowitz

This book is extradionary full with lego star wars! The book requires some lego star war toys and history of Dark Vader, Master Yoda and much more. I was interested with the light-saber fencing of different skills to beat your opponent and the best attacks and defences and I personally learned the block with turning over your light saber upside down, It also requries stories of that type of Jedi. I will recommend this book to Star wars fans and to Jedi Acadamemy fans.

The Hive Queen (Wings of Fire, Book 12)

The Hive Queen (Wings of Fire, Book 12)

By Tui T. Sutherland

Getting close to the end and I'm sad. In this book we learn a lot about Cricket and her life before she met her friends. We learn why she's different and how she really feels about Blue. Lots of twists and turns abound in this installation of the story, and there is no lacking for suspense in this one either. My favorite part only gives away a small portion of the plot line but I have to mention it. They end up caring for a baby dragonet that hatches on their watch and it becomes attached to the grumpy Sundew. So much cuteness and hilariousness ensues! I so love that part of the story! Can't wait to see how it develops and if it does in the next book, which I could only get in hardcover and is sitting next to me. A wonderful series and I love it. For such a short Wings of Fire book, I found myself clinging to the pages, eager to see what was going to happen next. This series hasn't disappointed me yet, and this book certainly didn't let me down. The characters are all so lovable, especially sweet bookworm Cricket and Sundew, who grew on me as the book progressed. But what I really like about this particular arc of the Wings of Fire series is just how serious these books get. This one deals with slavery and neglectful parents in a way that I believe any reader could understand and draw their own conclusions from. And of course, what I always love about this series are the epilogues. This book's epilogue was chilling, and I cannot wait to read book 13 to see what happens next.

The Siege of Macindaw (Ranger's Apprentice)

The Siege of Macindaw (Ranger's Apprentice)

By John A. Flanagan

Ranger51

BEST SERIES EVER!! Book 6 was kind of a continuation of Book 5, where it suddenly twists it at the end - like in the movies, where the guy you think is the good guy turns out to be the murderer in the end! Well, it turned out like this kind of in the book (although not with murderers but with taking over kingdoms and castles and locking people up and stuff like that!) Well, Will calls on the help of his friends Halt and Horace to round up an army to retake Castle Macindaw! Except, if they don't have enough men all they can do is use some brilliant genius to make up a big trick!! (Or hire some Skandians to help!... or is it Skandinavians... I forgot... ;P) Or maybe he'll do both! Really, read this book!! (and check out my other reviews on books earlier on in the series!)

The Egypt Game

The Egypt Game

By Zilpha Keatley Snyder

In this book, six sixth-graders form their own secret society devoted to Egypt-related things. In the beginning, April moves from Hollywood to an unspecified Californian city famous for its university–her mother is busy pursuing a career as an esteemed actress. April, considered eccentric by many, makes friends with Melanie, who lives in April's grandmother's apartment; they discover their shared interest for imagining, and they invent the titular Egypt Game. Melanie's younger brother, a girl living in the apartment, and two boys from school all become involved in the Egypt game. But soon, a murder occurs, and the children are all cautioned to stay indoors–and the main suspect is the Professor, the reclusive man, in whose storage yard the Egyptians worship Egyptian Gods. Who is this strange human? And, who is the real criminal? This is a great book, full of good dialogue and realistic characters. It's witty and the writing is good too, but at times it seems a little dated, such as when the characters say "fink" and other weird words (this was written in 1967). I would recommend this book to people who like realistic fiction, as it focuses more on the friendships developing between the Egyptians than the actual mystery, though it is still important to the plot.
