Braxton
Day Of The Dragon King by Mary Pope Osborne
I liked this book because you go back in ancient China and find out about how they lived. First I found out that they made their home out of wood and straw. then I found out that the dragon king of China would be buried in a tomb just like the Egyptians. I think that other kids should read this book.

Artemis Fowl (The Arctic Incident) by Eion Colfer
I loved this book about a 12 year old boy genius, criminal and mastermind named Artemis Fowl who is "friends" with the fairy people. Artemis's father (who was last at sea a little while ago) is found and taken hostage and it's up to Artemis, his butler, and their fairy friends to save him. Meanwhile the fairies have their own problems with goblins doing illegal trading with humans. It's up to Artemis to figure out plans for both problems.

The Sixth Grade Nickname Game by Gordon Korman
It was very funny and the nicknames were very interesting. I really liked the principal's nickname. It was Mr. Fathead. The kids at the school are really bad. They don't really listen to the pricipal or the teachers.

The Return Of The King by J.R.R. Tolkien
I loved this book about the end of the War of the Ring in Middle-Earth. Frodo and Sam, the two hobbits who are taking the ring of power to be destroyed in Mount Doom. The battle of the two towers is over but the greatest battle has yet to come. All the creatures of Middle-Earth are dropping all else and rushing to Minas Tirith, the great fortress of Gondor where there is no king, to fight the battle of Peleanor fields to save Middle-Earth from eternal darkness. But only when the ring is destroyed can Sauron be killed and all his power crushed. Then can Aragorn return to be king.

The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien
I loved this book about a mythical world, Middle-Earth which is being threatened by the dark lord Sauron and his Ring of Power which Frodo and Sam, two lonely hobbits are taking to be destroyed in Mount Doom. The Fellowship is split. The hidden king Aragorn, Legolas the elf and Gimli the dwarf are tracking Pippin and Merry, two hobbits who are related to Frodo who have been kidnapped by an evil wizard Saruman and his orcs. But a dead character takes them by surprise when he comes back to life and helps them succeed in the battles against the Two Towers; Saruman's Orthanc Tower and Sauron's Tower in this second book in the Lord Of The Rings.

The Fellowship Of The Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien
I loved this book about a mythical world called Middle-Earth. It describes how man, elves, dwarves and other creatures are threatened by the dark lord Sauron and his ring of power which he would use to destroy the people of Middle-Earth if Frodo Baggins, a simple hobbit who's never gone beyond Hobbiton, did not have it instead. The only way the ring can be destroyed is in Sauron's home, Mordar, in the center of the great Mount Doom. So nine creatures, 4 hobbits, 2 men, a dwarf, an elf and a wizard as their guide set out as the Fellowship of the Ring in the first of the trilogy J.R.R. Tolkien has written.

He is working with a guy who is also disguised as a girl named Dr. Orwell. Dr. Orwell is a hypnotist. She is really the ball headed man. Sherly is Dr. Orwell's assistant.

The Vile Village by Lemony Snicket
So far the Burdalairs had moved into the village and they said it took a village to become a child. After that Count Olaf disguised himself as Detective Dupin. Only the Burdalaires knew that it was really Count Olaf. The rest of the people followed what he said. So then he said "Violet and Klaus will be burned at stake and Sunny will... not be!" So the people followed what he said. So then they got put into jail. After that they broke out by using water to melt the bricks. Then they knew it was Count Olaf and he ran away.

Reeba
Bud Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis
Because it shows how a boy without a mother and a father get around. When he finds his grandfather he lives with him. The part I liked about this book is when he say, "My eyes don't cry no more."

Simone * Cyber Café volunteer
Skellig by David Almond
This book is an interesting novel. It is about Michael who moves into a new neighborhood and house. He is unhappy about his sister who is ill with a heart problem. Michael finds a man in his garage named Skellig. He is a mysterious person. Michael then meets a new friend named Mina. Mina does not go to school, she is homeschooled. Mina's mom and Mina are against school. She loves to draw, and is addicted to birds. Mina and Michael together learn from Skellig. In return, Skellig heals Michael's little sister. In the end, Jay, the baby is better, and Michael feels like his life is less stressed than before. This book includes many examples of symbolism. I would recommend this novel to children 11 and older.
