ANIMAL FARM

ANIMAL FARM by George Orwell 144 pp. Penguin Group. £8.99. (Ages 13 and up) ISBN 9780141182704 Rating: ? Stars     This book is set in a future when animals are much cleverer than now. And because of their cleverness, the pigs started a revolution against the humans. Pigs could speak fluently in English unlike the other animals, and that gave them the power to be leaders. But, the story that follows only happened a few years after that...     Their first leader, Old Major, was kind and fair who knew animals should be equal. But when Napoleon became the leader it was very unpleasant. He made a rule that allowed the pigs to have better food and that forced all of the other animals to work crazily hard every day and night. That wasn’t enough, Napoleon wanted more power.     He decided to kill his brother, Snowball, so that he would be the only leader. Snowball was admired because he came up with a clever idea to build windmill. Sn...

CROSS MY HEART AND HOPE TO SPY

CROSS MY HEART AND HOPE TO SPY Gallagher Girls Book 2 by Ally Carter 256 pp. Disney-Hyperion. $9.99. (Ages 12 and up) ISBN 9781423100065 Rating: 4 Stars    I have bought this book because of many reasons. The format and the pictures in the cover has got my attention. The color and the way the title is edited has a theme of a girls school in it. The title has also got my attention, the way 'cross my heart, and hope to spy' makes people think it s a spy book and most tween would love spy books. I think the back blurb is not interesting. It is only a part of the book pasted in the back of the book. If adults see this book, I think they won't buy it because the back blurb does not explain the book at all. While I saw the cover, I could not see what number was the book, was it the forth book?,or the third?. I think the author should put a number on the book so readers will know which book is it, and not think its the first book.    The book is too short. For me...

CITY OF FALLEN ANGLES

CITY OF FALLEN ANGLES The Mortal Instruments Book 4 by Cassandra Clare 480 pp. Margaret K. McElderry Books. $13.99. (Ages 13 and up) ISBN 9781481455992 Rating: 4 Stars   This book is a start of an new adventure. The enemy has lost and a new one rises. I think it is a good idea the author made a new enemy. Now the book wont end!   I don't like how the author divides the book into many parts. It makes me think its a very large book and sometimes I get bored. It makes the book seems like a very very big book. And most pages are wasted for the page to say a new part and also the quote/poem the author has made.   In a new story there will be new characters. The villain in the book has lost now if the next villain will be bigger new characters will come. The are new characters now like Mia, Jorgan and other characters.   I don't like the part when a partner does not let the other one go in a fight because they don't want to lose them. Its like making a...

CITY OF GLASS

CITY OF GLASS The Mortal Instruments Book 3 by Cassandra Clare 592 pp. Margaret K. McElderry Books. $13.99. (Ages 13 and up) ISBN 9781481455985 Rating: 4 Stars    This is the 3rd book of the series. Its the best book out of the 1st and the 2nd because it is the book that has the war between Valentine and the Shadow hunters. When I started reading it it seems very messy. But in the end it all makes sense. Its ether between the valentine or the shadow hunters who wins.    From the first book until this book (the third book) the cover always has the text by Stephen Meyer.. looking at the cover of the book makes me think its the same book over and over again. I also think the text by Stephen Meyer should be in the back because most text by a famous author is in the back.    Valentine is a villain and also a father of 3 children. I don't understand him. Is he trying to use his children or does he really love his children? I think the author should explain more...

CITY OF ASHES

CITY OF ASHES The Mortal Instruments Book 2 by Cassandra Clare 512 pp. Margaret K. McElderry Books. $13.99. (Ages 13 and up) ISBN 9781481455978 Rating: 4 Stars   This is a type of book that mixes every type of book into one book . I would think it has everything. Like Action,romance,comedy all in one book. It is like other teen books like the Divergent series. It is one of those teen books that every teen enjoys reading. I also like the love story in the book. Clary and Jace is very sweet and caring, but I think they are a bit over protective.   I think the cover in the book has too much color and pictures. It kind of makes people think “what is really in the book?”. I think the illustrator should lessen the pictures and just have Clary and Jace or another main character. Most people like simple but charming covers.   The moral in this book is friendship and care. Everyone needs to learn how to care and to take care of their friendship. It is a very importa...

CITY OF BONES

CITY OF BONES The Mortal Instruments Book 1 by Cassandra Clare 544 pp. Margaret K. McElderry Books. $13.99. (Ages 13 and up) ISBN 9781481455923 Rating: ? Stars    The story starts with a 15­ year old girl named, Clary Fray. She starts out as a perfectly normal teen with a best friend, Simon. Then everything turns upside down. Her mom disappears out of nowhere and she falls in love with a stranger that she saw murder a demon. I have seen this book resistantly in many book stores so I had a feeing I should read this book.   I think the book should have a different beginning. I am starting to be bored with the same start of stories, always starts with a normal person opening their past. Most teen books (ex. Divergent series, Harry potter, The pretties series, etc.) have the same beginning. I think the author should make it more exiting and different in the beginning, so it can attract the readers attention.   I think in this book there is too many p...

HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS

HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS Harry Potter Book 2 by J. K. Rowling Illustrated by Mary GrandPré 341 pp. Scholastic. $10.99. (Ages 9 and up) ISBN 9780439064873 Rating: ? Stars    This is one of the best books Ive ever read. Even if I read it when I was 6 also. It is a great book. I also like the other books. But you need to read it from the fist book so you can understand everything.   The three of them is always in the go. Like it when things always happens to them. It makes things cooler. The three is perfect. Harry is the main reason the problems happen, Hermione is the smart wizard, Ron makes everything much cooler.   It's not the best Potter book, particularly if you don’t like spiders and snakes, but it’s pretty easy to get through and will definitely whet your appetite for the rest of the series.   My favorite character is Hermione. She is smart and has an attitude. She was not born in a wizard family but she has good gra...

HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE

HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE Harry Potter Book 1 by J. K. Rowling Illustrated by Mary GrandPré 309 pp. Scholastic. $10.99. (Ages 9 and up) ISBN 9780439708180 Rating: ? Stars   This is a very thrilling book for me to read. I have read this before, but when I was 7 years old. At that time I did not understand the story well. I only remembered the movies. But in conclusion, I like the book better that the movie.   Harry potter is a clueless kid. When he was born he did not even know he was famous. He didn't even care. I thought, like potter he would be a regular kid in Hogwarts. But I guess not. It's very sad that he has to be chased by a dark wizard and also be hovered by fans. I bet it would be really hard being him. I also like him because he can be not so braggy about his popularity   I like how the author writes about how Harry, Ron, and Hermione friendship began. In the book they also have fight but still stay as best friends. They he...

ASIAN SPINE CHILLERS VOL 1

ASIAN SPINE CHILLERS VOL 1 by Andrew Lee 160 pp. Monsoon Books. £5.99. (Ages ? and up) ISBN 9789814423939 Rating: ? Stars    This book is a thrilling book about scary stories from around Asia. Some stories are about monsters, some are about ghosts, and murders. The book says that these stories are true. Sometimes I'm scared while I read it. It chills my bones from top to bottom. I hope they aren't true, cause it did a great job scaring me!   My favorite story is about the sunset hotel. Its my favorite story because it scared me the most. I love ghost stories because its scares me. The burning ghost scares me! If I was one of the characters that saw the burning ghost I would probably faint.   The story I don't like is about the fortune teller. The story is not thrilling for me. But I pitty the person who will have to be like that. It has no thrill in the story.   The conclusion is that The book is very thrilling

GRACE

GRACE By Morris Gleitzman 192 pp. Puffin. £6.99. (Ages 12 and up) ISBN 9780141336039 Rating: ? Stars We borrowed this book twice from the library but the first time I didn’t read it because I was busy reading other books. You may think that I finally started reading this book because it had a really cool cover or because the name sounded exciting. If you did think one these things then you are completely wrong because the front cover was only a picture of a girl and the name of the book was the name of the girl, Grace. The reason I read this book was actually because I had been to the Red House Book Awards and he was one of the people that might have won the award, so I thought it must be a good book then and decided to read the book. You are probably wondering what the book is about. It is about a girl called Grace who starts doing what she calls ‘sins’. In her church the dad always gets the blame. Because of this her dad gets expelled, which means he has to go away and never gets...
