| Anderson, Jodi Lynn. May Bird and the Ever After |
 |
This book is about how a girl named May Bird falls into
a lake. But this lake is a portal to the Ever After where ghosts do
things like we do. How will May Bird get home. I liked this boo a lot
because I love fiction. If you love stories that are interesting
fiction, you will absolutely love this book. But don't worry this story
is not very scary, but it does have scary climax moments. |

| Colfer, Eoin. Artemis Fowl. |
 |
This book was awful. It is about a goblin named Holly
who interferes with the humans and Artemis Fowl finds her. Don't waste
your time reading this book. The story keeps going back and forth. I
barely understood any of this book. |

| Collins, Suzanne. Gregor and the Code of Claw |
 |
This book is the best book I have ever read. It's about
a boy named Gregor who travels to the bottom of the world an teams up
with humans and giant animals. I liked this book because of how
interesting it was. This is the best book ever. (Editor's Note: This
is a part of the Gregor series. You might want to read the first book
Gregor the Overlander before reading this book so you have some
background information. Who would ever think that a book where the
cockroaches were heroes would appeal to me! But it did.) |

| Hunter, Erin. Warrior series |
 |
I think Warriors is a cool and perfect series for me
because I love books about animals and excitement. If yo don't like
animals, though and your afraid of things dying and scary stories, don't
read this series. |

This book is about dream gives that help people escape
the bad dream mentors. The main character, Littlest One, helps a little
boy especially. I really like that after living in a foster home he was
able to go back and live with his mom. I also enjoyed when the mentors
came and gave bad dreams to the little boy. To find out if Littlest
saves the boy , read the book. This book was perfect for me. |

Prince |
 |
The 6th book in this captivating series is outstanding.
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is about the sixteen year old
Harry Potter getting a text-book from his new potions teacher Horace
Slughorn. The textbook has cheats and shortcuts to potion making. The
book belonged to the Half Blood Prince and has dark spells like
Septumsempra here huge wounds open up in the person that got hit by the
spell. The spell kills them because of loss of blood if not treated
quickly. Harry is also having secret lessons with Professor Dumbledore
where he learns of Voldemort's past. Anybody who likes magic books would
want to read this book. It is an exceptional book in the seven book
series. Read this amazing book. |

Phoenix |

I thought this book was one of the best of the
series! This book was about Harry Potter goes to his Godfather, Sirius
Black's, house. He finds out about the people really working hard to
fight off... well you know who. He meets new allies in his ongoing quest
to defeat Voldemort. He gets yet another Defense Against the Dark Arts
teacher, a Ministry of Magic worker who takes over. He forms a group
called Dumbledore's Army and more.
I really like the series but this one was one
of my favorites. My favorite genre is fantasy because it lets you use
your imagination. I loved this book because I thought it had great
details and it gets right to the point in the beginning. I really don't
like books that start slow and has no action. I really like these books
because they get the book going without hesitation. You should
definately read these books!
(Note: Please read the others before you read this
one! I once tried reading this one first when I was younger... I got
soooooo confused) |

| Sachar, Louis. Wayside School Gets a Little Stranger |

This was the worst book of all times. Who wants to read
30 chapters that all have different topics. I mean in a chapter they
talk about Santa and in the next chapter they talk abaout Mr. Gorf! I
would not raad this book again, and neither should you. |

| Snicket, Lemony. The Series of Unfortunate Events |
 |
I read a book series called A Series of Unfortunate
Events. It is about three kids that lose their mom and dad and have
to live with their evil uncle in a terrible and miserable home. If you
like stories with dread, you should definitely read this book. Read all
13 books to find out. I absolutely love it. It is the best book ever.
Editors note: This book is a great way to learn new words. The author,
Lemony Snicket has a real talent for working huge words into his text. |

disappointment.
