I wanted to read this book because I thought it would be a really fun book to read. I also thought that it looked short and quick.

What a magical story that I think kids will really enjoy! I have read many children's books that are centered around the number 3 and basic retellings of classic fairy tales. Carolyn seems to be doing just that by pulling in elements from stories like Hansel and Gretel, Little Red Riding Hood, The Three Little Pigs, and maybe others that I'm just not recognizing! I really enjoyed reading this book! I especially loved the part where the lizards were meant to help Calix by competing in an eating contest! I’m sure kids will get a kick out of it. I won't give away too many details for others who would like to read it, but I hope others see the value in this story too. It can be a great teaching tool for kids, like understanding patience and perseverance in a difficult situation. I also love that the author is doing this to encourage her own children to follow their dreams and teaching them that they are capable of doing anything they set their minds too.

My students really enjoyed Paulsen's stories. They found them entertaining as well as educational about the "woods", They especially loved reading about his experience in the Iditarod. We follow the current Iditarod while we read Paulsen's tale. They loved learning about the Iditarod as well.

Goosebumps the Haunted Mask by R.L Stine is a horror novel that follows a girl named Carly that gets scared by everyone but now wants to be the one to scare people so she buys a haunted mask that comes with some unknown side effects. This novel is about learning how to just accept who you are as a person. This novel did a great job at showing the true horror of a haunted mask and it had some great twists too. I would recommend this book as a 4 out of 5 stars.

“A bone chilling tale not to be ignored” In my opinion this book shows the characters emotions and actions very detailed throughout the whole story. This book is great for someone who loves to be on the edge of the seat and wanting to keep reading no matter what. I would recommend this book to someone because the book has really detailed actions and emotions and shows what war and places were like back in WW2 time period.

This book is very exciting to read. I recommend people who like world war ll.

I liked this book because of all the topics addressed including manipulation, politics and war. she also made a good point about how they had to un-brainwashed kids. Hitler once said “ I began with the young ones, the older are all used up” this quote represents the subject matter of the book. Miles

They're all AMAZING books! And, although I would not like to live in a world like in the books, I also kind of would............ It's confusing. But totally read these books! It's an INCREDIBLE trilogy!

Boy 21 by:Matthew Quick Have you a ever wondered what it is like to live in a neighborhood full of drug dealers, being one of the many white kids in the community. Well the kid in a book called Boy 21 by Matthew Quick, lives this life. Although all of these problems might be distracting, this boy named Finley, keeps himself away from all of these problems by playing his favorite sport, basketball. This is a great book because as I read on, the story was getting better and better. In this book, Finley is a high schooler that plays on the basketball varsity team and he has a girlfriend named Erin who also plays basketball. Finley lives in a neighborhood ruled by drugs, violence, and Irish mobs. His nickname is "White Rabbit" because he is, well white and he eats a lot of carrots. Everything was normal until Finley's coach tells him to help a new kid named Russ, who came to this school after a family tragedy and use to be a basketball star. Now Russ is called "Boy21". Finley has to help Russ even if it means giving up some things. Later on in the book, the two boys realize that Russ coming to the school was a good thing. I really enjoyed reading this book but in the beginning of the book, it was a little inappropriate but other than that, the book was great. I mostly loved when the author makes you infer what will happen next in this book. I'd say that this book is a real page turner because the author kept pulling the reader in about every other page. Mathew Quick is a 42 year old man who is most known for writing a bestselling book called "The Silver Linings Playbook". I believe that this book is kind of unique in its own way. I don't think that any other book was like this one. And the kind of people who would like to read this book are people who like a little bit of drama and sports and the age group for this book would be 13 and up.

Awesome mystery and suspense as usual in the Spy School series. Thumbs up to Stuart Gibbs for that. The whole plot and story line plus the character’s traits made me laugh from start to end. Ben is really smart with numbers but is totally rubbish at fighting (no offense, Ben!) and Erica is beautiful, and amazingly athletic and knows pretty much every sport, except... skiing? The CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) usually sends Ben, Erica and the gang to exciting yet life risking adventures to defeat SPYDER, an evil organization that always has a master plan to take over the world and blame it on someone else. But this time, they’re targeting a Chinese billionaire named Leo Shang. The objective is to get close to Jessica Shang, Leo’s daughter. Ben is friendly so if he becomes friends with Jessica, he may become closer to finding out Leo’s plan to... cause destruction. But everything goes wrong when Mike’s best friend who is CONVINCED that Ben is a normal human but catches him acting very weirdly... almost like an agent? I’m not gonna say any more though, read Spy Ski School if you want to find out more!
