Dog Days by Jeff Kinney ****


Funny book, it is a book about Greg Heffley. In this book Rowley and him aren't friends anymore because Greg kept ordering food using Rowley's dad's credit card, so his dad said that they have to earn the money and pay him back. But Rowley kept having ideas that Greg didn't like, so they started staying away from each other. This book is basically about his summer and how he developes friendship. It was an OK book, it could have been better.

Rodrick Rules by Jeff Kinney *****


This book is the sequel to Diary of a Wimpy Kid, it is about Greg, and he has a really big secret. Rodrick knows it, and Greg is scared that Rodrick will tell everyone, this is also about Greg and Rodrick's fights, and if Greg pushes Rodrick to the limit, you know what Rodrick would do. The big secret was that, over the summer, Greg had to stay at his grand-pa's condo, and there he accidentally went into the girls toilet, and he had to wait until all the girls went out of the toilet, then he could go out without being seen, and of course, he had to stay there for 4 hours, and he eventually got caught.

My favorite part of the book is when he has to wait in the toilet, girls keep coming in and putting the make up and stuff on, and he is getting really annoyed!

One False Note by Gordon Korman *****


This is the 2nd book of the 39 clues series, it has the same characters, Amy and Dan, they continue their hunt to find the clues, and they go to Venice. In Venice they find that everyone is there too, and then they find a homing device on their cat' collar. They put it on one of of the other people in the competition. They come across the 3rd clue, the first one meant Iron Solute, the second one meant Tungsten, the 39 clues is a formula, each clue gives an ingredient to the formula. They ind out that the 3rd clue is hidden in Tokyo, so they have to go there, and the story will continue in the 3rd book.

My favorite part is when they have to run from the monks because they stole their paper, the monks were running after them like crazy, but then Amy and Dan find out that they didnt need the paper so they give it back. This is a pretty good book, but it gets confusing sometimes.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney *****



This book is about a boy named Greg, who is now starting middle school, and he realizes that everything has changed, changing classes, its a little more harder. This is his journal, which is like a diary, and it tells you about his life in 6th grade. He has a best friend, his name is Rowley, he acts like a kid, like one day he asked Greg if he wants to got to his house and play, and Greg says in middle school you are supposed to say hang of instead of play. This book shows how he lives his life, and it also shows the trouble he is causing. My favorite part is when Greg breaks Rowley's arm, so what happened is that Rowley bought Greg a 3 wheeler bike, and Greg hates it, but it came to use. They made a game in which the objective is to knock the rider off the bike. So it starts like this, Rowley has to ride the bike down a steep hill, and Greg will be waiting on the sidewalk and he will try to know Rowley off the bike with a football, the mistake he makes is that he hits Rowley in the head, Rowley falls off, and he lands straight on his arm, and he brakes it. But Rowley is getting all the attention in the school, because he broke his arm and people want to sign his cast. But Greg hates the attention Rowley is getting. Its a good book. READ IT!

This is a great book, it is about a boy and a girl named Dan and Amy, they are two kids that parents just died, and their favorite grandmother, Grace, just died too, they go to her funeral and they were told to go to a mission with 39 clues. They were given the first clue, and in that it said to follow Benjamin Franklin's steps, so they go to Philadelphia and Paris, and they look for clues, but unfortunately they were slowed down a little bit by bombs, this is a competition, so this means that they have other people against them. They keep trying fighting and then Amy and Dan find the other clue, and then they find out they have to go to Vienna, Austria. They start their journey and it will continue in the next book!
The best part is when they go to the maze and they find all of those disgusting and smelly skeletons and other body parts. They said that is was really disgusting. The clue was hidden there, and they were looking for it, and then one of their enemies come and attack them, but they get the clue and get out of there. READ IT!

Death's Shadow by Darren Shan *****

Deaths Shadow is a very good book, it is one of the best books I have ever read, it is about a girl named Bec, who has benn dead for 1600 years, and her spirit went into another persons dead body, Bec was killed by Lord Loss, one of the masters of the Demonata universe, he is a a very strong demon, but now he is not the biggest threat to humanity, now there is another demon, with no name, and no one knows much about him, but have seen him, now he is the scariest demon in the world, and Bec is about to fight him. Bec has a friend, named Beranabus, he is half demon half human, and the new demon is immortal, it cant die, but we can make it go away, and the only way to do that is to fight, demon-demon, in the end Beranabus lets the demon take over in his body and fights the strong demon, but unfortunately, Beranabus dies. Later they find out that the Demon has a force, it is like gravity, but it isnt gravity. It is death. And nobody can kill death. It is a very good book, my suggestion is read it. My favorite part is when Beranabus dies, he was killed by deat, and he was hit by death, so that means he died. He let the demon in his body take over and turn into a demon. Beranabus was alive for 1600 years, because he is a demon, but he is now finnaly death.

This book is called Lord Loss, and it is the 1st book of the Demonata series, it's protagonist's name is Grubbs Grady, a boy who had just recently lost his parents and sister to demons. He is a scared boy, and was sent to a mental center, the people did not believe him about the demons, he had stayed in the mental center or months, until a man named Dervish came, and he claims to be Grubbs' uncle, and he knows about demons, the main demon is Lord Loss, and he is the antagonist, he killed Grubbs' parents. Grubbs' stayes is Dervish's house, and he meets his first friend, Bill-E, and Bill-E is kind of an orphan, his mom died and he never met his dad, but Bill-E thinks that Dervish is his dad, but Dervish is his uncle, Bill-E is Grubbs' half brother, Bill-E does not know, but he will find out soon. See, the problem is that most of the Grady's have a curse, they turn into werewolves when they are teens. Bill-E turns, Grubbs' is trying to turn him back, but there is only one way, you have to summon Lord Loss and challenge him to a chess match, and if the challenger wins, Lord Loss gets to cure the curse ofone person, he is very good chess player, but a few people have fought him. The rules of Lord Loss' chess games are like this, there are five games, the person who gets most wins win. There have to be two people, one will be playing, and one will have to fight Lord Loss' familiars until the winner is announced. The game started like this, Dervish plays, Grubbs fights, Dervish is playing well but he sees that Grubbs is almost dead, so they switch positions, the scores were 3-2, who do you think won? Grubbs won, and Bill-E gets cured, but there is a twist to the story, the challenger has to go and fight Lord Loss himself in the other universe, and if he wins, he gets to live his normal life again, but if he loses, he will die. Dervish went and survived, suprisingly, and everything lived happily ever after.......but the story continues in the second book! My favorite part is when Bill-E turns into the werewolf, when he is howling and crying. This book is not the best, but it is good.

Bec by Darren Shan........*****



The book's name is Bec and the character's name is Bec too. This book was set in Ireland, in the middle of the fifth century A.D, when St. Patrick was converting Ireland to Christianity. Bec is a girl who lives in a tribe, called the McConn, she had a trainer named Banba, who used to teach her magic, Bec is a priestess, she is a girl who uses magic to kill demons, heal people and attack. She is not actually from the McConn tribe, she is from the McGrigor. Her mother had dies and left her at the McConn area. She is very sad sometimes because she gets visions about her mother and her birth. She is a scared girl. She is also happy, when she defeats the deomns or when she is having fun with her friends. And then, this boy comes among her tribe who won't talk. Instead, he keeps saying 'run fast'. Then, Bec and a few members of her tribe, decide to follow where the boy goes. And then, they meet this guy named Drust, he says he's going on a quest, and he needed help, so he sent the little boy (Bran) to bring them for help. He says he needs to stop the portal of the Demonata. The demonata is a different universe which has alot of demons in it. These demons try crossing the portal between Earth and the Demonata Universe. As they go looking for the portal, two of the tribe members, die by getting tricked by demons. Once they reach the portal, three more tribe members die. Drust tells Bec that she needs to be killed to stop the demons from breaking through the portal. Instead, Bran kills Drust because Bran wouldn't let Drust kill Bec. The portal closes, and Bec gets stuck inside the portal. Bec dies. My favorite part of the book is when the tribe first fight the demons and when Bec heals everyone by her magic. This book is one of the best books i have ever read.

The Last Olympian......by Rick Riordan rating-*****


This is one of the best books i have ever read. This is the fifth and last book of the Percy Jackson series, it is about this boy named Percy Jackson, who's dad is a greek god named Poseidon, Posiedon is the god of water, he controls and lives in the ocean, and Percy's mom, is just an ordinary person, who is about to get married to another guy named Paul Blofis. The propblem in the story is that Kronos (the evil god and titan of time) is rising again, after being cut up by his son, which is Zeus, the lord of the sky. Zues is Posiedon's brother. It is the prophecy that told percy that he is the one who has to make the biggest decision in he world, to save the world or to destroy it. Of course he saves the world. Kronos has taken over one of Percy's enemies. His enemy has to fight out Kronos' spirit and save himself, but he cant so he has to kill himself to kill Kronos. So the decision was that if percy will give a sword to his enemy so hell will kill himself or not. The book was a very very good book. I would rate it 5 stars. Its just another great book by Rick Riordan.
