Book Review: Cheers! A good vampire story. Boils your blood with the intense bullying dished out at Claire, and keeps you on your toes with the local vampires and Michael's condition.

Book Review: Though this book was incredibly short, it proved to me that a good story doesn't have to be long. A good story about a girl defending herself and Mother.

Book Review: Cheers! Brilliant. Truly shows that if you want someone to know something or vice versa, speaking in codes and subtleties isn't the way to go. Just be straight forward and come out with it and you can avoid the mess Marcus and Frannie got themselves into.

Book review: I really enjoyed this (long :-) book! It tells of the adventures of a simple farm boy turned Dragon Rider. It all starts when he is hunting in a mountain range called the Spine, a large blue "stone" suddenly blasts into being right next to him. The "stone" turns out to be a dragon egg! Next he... well, I'll let you read the book and find out for yourself! A very exciting book, and the magic content is not too unbearable. Overall a very interesting and exciting book!

4 stars

Book review: The first of a series of thirteen books, it follows the lives of three children; Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire. After their parents are killed when their house burns down, they are sent to live with their closest (geographically, that is) relative. The time they spend at his house is... well, I shouldn't give away the story! I enjoyed reading this book thoroughly, although it was quite strange, but, then again, that's what Lemony Snicket is, isn't it? Enjoy, if you dare!

Book review: This book is like lord of the rings but instead of orcs there is horde and the humans are forest dwellers. This story takes place in 4000 AD. But history is repeating its self over thousands of years. But they have the same knowledge of the people in lord of the rings using their kind of weapons. But this time the future belongs to those who see opportunity before it is obvious. To the young to the warriors, to the lovers, To those who can follow hidden clues and find a great treasure that will unlock the mysteries of life and wealth.

Thirteen years have passed since the lush, colored forests where turned to desert by teeleh, the enemy of Elyon. Now evil rules the land and shows itself as a painful, scaly disease that covers the flesh of the horde, a people who live in the desert. And the only reason that the forest dwellers do not get the disease and turn into the horde is that they bath in lakes of water given to them by Elyon to save them. And the only place that a forest dweller lives is in the seven forests left on earth each have a lake. The forest guard is the army of the forest dwellers.

I personally like this book because it demonstrates God being Elyon and the Devil being Teeleh, good verses evil.

Book review: Book Number 2 of the series. Nathan and his pals go on a trip with a good freind, Pepper, as guide. They all learn a lot of good lessons. They end up in a pretty bad pickle too!

Book Review: I thought it was a very good book overall. It was very fun to read. If I find another book by this author I will definitely read it. It taught a lesson, like the saying never judge a book by its cover. Toes's brothers and sisters always excluded him from games and even wouldn't let him sleep in the bed after their mother had died and was gone from then on, but one thing they didn't know was was that Toes was very intelligent. I hope that other kids get the opportunity to read this book and learn the lesson that it gives.

He is very fond of going out with his servant on the canals and his fast racing gondola gets him out of more than one scrape. A very exciting and well written book! Bravo once again Henty!

Book Review: I really enjoyed this book and learned quite a few things from it, such as chinese sayings and chinese traditions. It is actually the sequel to another book called The Year of the Dog which I have also read. They are both very good books. They both have special meanings and culturistic features. I would love to read another book by this author.

Book Review: This book was very fun to read. It was one of those books that you didn't want to put down and just had to keep reading. It was just a fun little short story that was about a cat that always grew. He was 3 times the size of a regular cat in just three weeks. He ended up hypnotizing the people that stroked his back. One little boy and his friend ended up killing the cat in an accident and saved his family by doing it. I would love to read another book by this author.

In this story Kate & Marylin are best friends but once they start middle school and Marylin becomes a cheerleader, her & Kate's friendship starts to split. I loved this book and would recommend it to girls ages 11-13.

Book Review: Jonas is a 12 year old boy that gets the assignment of "the Receiver". He receives a lot of memories of love, pain and other emotions. But he runs away with a baby named Gabe who was going to be released (killed). He steals his father's bike and rides at night and sleeps during the day so the helicopters won't find them. Jonas transferred some of the memory of snow. Then at the very end Jonas finds a sled that was in the memory The Giver gave him. He and Gabe ride down a very steep hill on the sled. THE END.

By Jack the Dog as told to Patricia Finney

Book Review:  I thought the book was very funny. It had a lot of character about Jack the dog. She really put Jack into the story and wrote down his thoughts well. I recommendthat other kids read this book because it is very funny and shows just how smart dogs are. It tells how dogs think of us and about the world around them. If I had to pick a word for this book I would say "fantastic" or "hilarious". I hope the author will write another book like this one because I would love to read it.
