My Favorite Book, by Jordan B., 5th grade

How will Alex Rider every survive? My favorite books are the Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz. When I start reading the books, I can't put them down. I love reading these books. They have so much action. I think they are the best books ever!

The best thing that I like in the books are the gadgets. I personally like the zit cream and the gel ink pens. They both save his life. The zit cream got him out of a jellyfish tank, and the gel ink pen blew someone up. The person who makes the gadgets, his name is Smithers. He works for the MI6 and he makes all of the gadgets himself.

I like all of the characters like Alex Rider. He is athletic, sneaky, epic, and daring. I really like Smithers. He is creative, cool, jolly, smart, and awesome. I also like Jack Starbiright. She is also daring, nice, cool and helpful. I like Tulip Jones. She is nice, helpful caring, and suggestive. I also like Sabina Pleasure. She is nice, caring, joyful, and helpful. I really like the books because they have a lot of action. There are always gun fights when a lot of people die. There are also hand to hand combat with Alex. There are also a lot of grenades thrown and explosions. In almost all of the books Alex gets in fights.

I like the books because they are just epic. I always want ot read them. I love Alex Rider books. They are the best. They are so cool. I hp I can get all of the books. I hop Anthony Horowitz, the author, NEVER stops writing.

Book Review by Alanna D., 4th grade: Eragon

The title of a book I really liked is Eragon by the author Christopher Paolini.

I liked this book because it was full of adventure. I love dragons and action! Although it left me in a bit of a tangle at the end, it was interesting and exciting. I got upset when Mrs. Sanders (my classroom teacher) told us to take out our workbooks and I had to stop reading this awesome book!

My Favorite Book, by Morgan T., 5th grade

Sometimes in some books it feels like it comes to life. Like the book The Meanest Doll in the World by Ann M. Martin. One of my favorite things about it is the action. The part that I loved is when they had to fight Meanmeme. Because they didn't use the same stuff we would use. They used bomb legos and empty bottles to capture them.

Another thing I love about it is the description! The author uses fun, fresh, crisp, clean words. They're so descriptive it feels like you're sitting in the movies. Another think I like about it is there are some funny parts in it. Like the paper cutouts echo everything the dolls say.

Another thing that I liked about the books is it never got boring. It always kept you on the edge of your seat. Every time you ended the chapter you wanted to start the next one. The think that kept me intrigued was the action. It was as thrill-rushing as riding a roller coaster. :) That is why I recommend The Meanest Doll in the World to EVERYONE! Because it's a great and good family story. I loved it. I could read it over and over.

Book Review by Payton S., 4th grade: A Series of Unfortunate Events

A series that I really like is A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket.

I like these books because they are very interesting. They are about these kids, Violet, Klaus, and their 'lil sister named Sunny. Their parents "perished" in a fire and they go through the books all alone. Their first guardian, Count Olaf, turns out to be their worst nightmare. He's out to get their fortune all through the series. You will just have to read the books to find out the rest of it!

Review by Payton S., fourth grade students, Fort Myers Christian School.

All of the books from The Series of Unfortunate Events are Accelerated Reader books.

My Favorite Book: by Emily R. 5th grade

My favorite book is How I, Nicky Flynn, Finally get a life! (and a dog) by Art Corriveau. It is a good book! It is very entertaining too! It is a real page turner!

My favorite character is Rita de la Cruz. She is very desperate to become friends with Nicky. At the end of the story she tries to help Nicky find his dad!

I think it is a good book because he gets an ex-seeing-eye dog and pretends to be blind. It is also a good book because he runs away. It is a really good book!

This book is also dramatic! When they runaway, Reggie gets hurt. Reggie (the dog)  also attacked Nicky's mom, which is why they ran away in the first place!

What do you think will happen to Nicky and Reggie? Find out in How I Nicky Flynn, Finally get a life! (and a dog!) by Art Carriveau.
