Student Book Review : B Magical - The Runaway Spell




B Magical-The Runaway Spell     By: Lexi Connor
       Have you ever been a witch, doing spells? Probably not, but this is exactly the case with our beginner witch in this fantastic M-A-G-I-C-A-L book. All of her spells rely on her spelling of the words, even if one letter gets mixed up that’s it, anything can happen, SERIOUSLY anything.
          In this fiction book we meet our protagonist Beatrix (also called “B” by her friends.)When B’s best friend, George, gets to know about the magical powers she has about which no one should know ,he turns out to be very stubborn about them. Soon George has a soccer match later in that week and he wants Beatrix to make him play like his favorite soccer player, La Zebra Italiana. But when Beatrix tries to, something gets messed up, George doesn’t look like himself anymore or his favorite soccer player he looks like ………..half-human, half-zebra! It will take a hint of magic to solve this spell!
         My favorite part of the book was when B turns George into half-human and half-zebra, because at this point of the story it kind of built some suspense. I was tempted to turn the page to know what’s going to happen next. I can relate to Beatrix because sometimes when I mess up one tiny thing, everything gets messed up!  
          Now comes my rating, so I would rate this book 4 out of 5.The reason I gave that rating is because although this book flowed very smoothly from event-to-event, I would’ve liked some more detail in the climax. This book did have some twists and turns, which was very exciting. Also this book was a great page-turner, and I would recommend it to anyone who likes some bumps along the way. I loved this book, and I hope you will too! Have fun reading!

Student Book Review - Diary of a Wimpy Kid - Kid Hard Luck


Title: Diary of the Wimpy Kid Hard Luck
Author: Jeff Kinney


I think Diary of the Wimpy Kid Hard Luck was an amazing book because while you are reading it, some parts are really funny and you would enjoy it. In my opinion, the message in this book is you should have more than one friend. What the story is about is, Greg Heffley has been on a losing streak for the past few months and he doesn’t like that. Furthermore, his best friend Rowley has ditched him. Most part of the book is, Greg finding new friends in middle school but he is having a tough time making new friends. My favorite part in the book is when Greg becomes friends with Rowley again because they had a good friendship until it was broken and now they can be best friends again. No movie has been related to this book yet. This book is one of the most interesting books out of the series to me because I was into the book and I was enjoying it a lot from the other books. This book reminds when my good friend ditched me and I tried finding new friends but then at the end I became best friends with her again.

Student Book Review - "Poison Apple - At first bite"



Poison Apple- At First Bite
Novel written by Ruth Ames 

Have you ever thought what life would be like if vampires existed? What if you just turned 12, and found out they really do exist and you’re one of them?! That would probably never happen to you, but still what if it did, what would be your reaction? That’s why I love this book, it’s full of suspense, mystery, and adventure. The story is about a 12-year old girl named Ashlee Lambert. After becoming a full-fledged vampire, life becomes harder for Ashlee. She has to act like her old self without giving her new dark-side away and worst of all she can’t seem to control her new supernatural powers. And being the most popular girl in school doesn’t help that fact, because now people are starting to ask questions and slowly she’s going down from being the POP. Queen of her school to well, just popular. But after moving from New York to Los Angeles, she’s excited to make a fresh new start. She hopes to be the popular girl she once was, but this time, she’s going to be the ‘cool new girl from New York City’.  But Ashlee never counted on a clique of popular mean girls or awful sunburns. Keeping her huge secret suddenly became harder than ever. And then things take a turn for her, when she switches personalities with her brother. She’s the less popular one while her brother is living the high popularity life with his new friends. And the worst part comes when something-or-someone, starts attacking people at her school, and Ashlee realizes she’s not the only vampire in town. Now it’s up to Ashlee to figure out who’s behind the attacks, all the while making friends with the school’s clique of popular girls. It is a blood-winding story that is going to keep you on the edge of your seat, and is going to add some excitement and flavor into your lifestyle. My favorite part of the book is when the first attack of the ‘black creature’ happens, because that’s when the story really starts. First, it’s all about her personal life, and it’s all just some typical teenager worries with some supernatural setbacks for her, when, BOOM! , something happens that changes everything and Ashlee realizes that there’s danger around the corner. This scene builds a lot of suspense and you start thinking of who could be behind these attacks, and it’s basically introducing the plot and, all the other scenes are building up on this one. I can relate to Ashlee’s thoughts at this moment because when most of the time when I’m reading mystery novels, my mind starts to wander off and piece together the evidence to find the culprit. I start making connections and brainstorming ideas while I’m reading, and she was basically making connections and brainstorming ideas throughout the whole incident. Ashlee reminds me a little about myself because of the way she thinks, excluding the parts where she makes bad choices about choosing her friends in the beginning. But later she starts making better choices about her friends. I can also relate to Sasha, because she was being a good friend to Ashlee but Ashlee kept denying her. She tried to make Ashlee feel welcome but Ashlee ignored her. I would also try to make someone new feel welcomed, and I too, try to be a good friend to my friends, just like Sasha.Overall, I would give this book 5 out of 5 stars because it’s the best book I’ve read in the Poison Apple series so far. I personally love this book because it has 2 of my all-time favorite genres which are mystery and adventure. And the story flowed smoothly and made sense, and the author put in the right amount of detail to describe the characters and the settings. And the plot was also very interesting and it grabbed the reader’s attention with all the suspense. I recommend you all to read this fang-tastic book, because I’m sure you’ll like it just as much as I did. Thank you for reading!

Student Book Review - Diary of a Wimpy Kid


Diary of a wimpy kid the last straw                                                                                                                     This book is a great book for all ages but it can relate to kids especially in middle school. This book is about a boy named Greg who is a wimpy kid. His dad wants him to man up so he puts Greg in sports and other things Greg cannot handle. If Greg does not change himself to what his dad wants him to be things will get even worse. My favorite part of the story is when his brother Manny gets a blanket that does not belong to him and throws it at a tree Greg thinks this is his chance to show his dad what he has got. Greg climbs up the tree and all of a sudden his pants fall off and his neighbors recorded the whole thing! I would rate this book 5 star out of 5 because it is always interesting and can keep you reading until the book is finished. The best part is it is this book is hilarious!
