Want to read a good book?

Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers. ~Charles W. Eliot

We have been talking in class about what makes a good book. So now we will share our recommendations for books we like to read, and why.

  1. Robots
    The movie Storybook

    The book Robots is a great book. When Mr. and Mrs. Copperbottom got their baby, Rodney, they were excited. Rodney loved to watch Bigweld, the world’s greatest robot, on T.V. tap a row of dominoes down. One day, Rodney went to meet him, but he wasn’t there. Instead, another bad robot named Rachet was not letting spare parts being put on the shelves. Instead, he put upgrades. Whoever could not afford an upgrade would be chopped into upgrades to sell. Finally Rodney tapped a row of dominoes and Bigweld appeared! They had crazy adventure with Rachet and got rid of him. I highly recommend this book if you to read this book if you like adventure.

  2. Deltora Quest By Emily Rodda

    I recommend the book Deltora Quest to people that enjoy reading more difficult vocabulary books. It comes in a series but I’ve only read the first book. I enjoy reading this because it is filled with action, adventure, and dangerous creatures. It’s a great beginning to the series and I would I highly recommend it. I’m looking forward to reading the next book.

  3. I like the book Ink heart by Cornelia Funke. If you like fantasy this is the book for you! There are lots of fairies and trolls. The most important characters are Meggie and her father Mo. Mo’s job was rebinding books. One day he found a book called Ink heart. That night Meggies father read it aloud, and all the characters from the book came to life. Well the rest is for you to figure out! Have fun reading this book! This book also has tons of adventure!!! There is also a movie!

  4. I So Don’t Do Mysteries is a lively book by Barrie Summy. It all starts at Sherry’s middle school. When she fails her tests and comes home, her mom is there. I mean her ghost mom! Sherry’s mother died in accident many of years ago. Somehow after the mom died, she went to an after life school. She was failing her classes and she needs Sherry’s help. Also along the way, Sherry finds out a lot about a special animal. I would recommend this book to major readers, who like mysteries of a glamour girl.

  8. Key To The Treasure
    By Peggy Parish

    Why I recommend Key to The Treasure By Peggy Parish is because it is such an interesting book! For people who like adventure and mystery books, this is the one for you! Peggy Parish takes you on adventure though tough times and good ones! When I was reading this book I couldn’t stop because one thing happens after another to these 3 siblings that makes you never want to put this fantastic book down! This book was really fun to read because this one clue opens up a whole other mystery that leads to the key to the treasure!
    Key to The The Treasure is about these three kids who once again beg their grandpa to tell the story about the picture on the wall. A day later, the three siblings found a clue from that painting. One thing led to another from that one little clue! Each time they discovered another clue, the book changed in an exciting way! Will they solve the mystery? That’s for you to find out!

  9. Lucy On
    The Loose


    Lucy on the loose is a book written and illustrated by Llene Cooper and Amanda
    Harvy. My favorite part of this book was when Lucy ran away from Coop and then Coop found her. Lucy is dog who is a Beagle and always gets into trouble. Coop is a boy who doesn’t a dog but his mom gets him Lucy. I would definitely recommend this book to people who like dogs, because Lucy On the Loose is about a dog who runs away from her rightful owner. I loved reading Lucy on the loose over and over again.

  10. The Lightning Thief
    By Rick Riordon
    A book review By Bob

    Percy is a Greek hero. One day he took a field trip to a museum when he was on the field trip his teacher turned into a fury. His math teacher, Chiron, took him to Camp Half Blood because it was the only safe place. Then Camp Half Blood sent him on a quest to find Zeus` stolen lightning bolt. While he was on the quest he battled many monsters on the quest. I highly recommend this book for action and Greek mythology.

  11. The Indian in the Cupboard

    by V.A I read a book by Lynne Ried Banks called The Indian in the Cupboard. The book is about a boy named Omri who puts a plastic Indian in a magic cupboard. The plastic Indian comes to life. This book’s genre is part fantasy, part adventure. I would recommend this book because it makes one want to finish the book.

    There are four more books about Omri and his Indian. Even though I haven’t read them, I think other people should. Based on this book the others should be as good.

  12. Inkheart book review

    Inkheart is about a bookbinder called Mortimer Folchart who is left alone by his wife with only his daughter Meggie for company. The explanation for this disappearance would have sent the police into wild confusion. Mortimer has the enchanting ability to read things out if books. 9 years before Mortimer and his wife Teresa sat down to read a book called Inkheart and 3 characters pop into the living room! Dustfinger a fire eater, Capricorn the leader of a horrible group called the Fire raisers, his evil minion called Basta who follows his leader around like a dog, and Dustfingers horned marten Gwin. Teresa disappears. Meggie and Mortimer go to Meggie’s great aunt Elinor to rebind her books. During their stay there Mortimer and the book Inkheart are kidnapped by Capricorn. Meggie goes on a daring quest to save her father. What happened to Teresa? Inkheart is an adventuress book and a good story to read in bed. The writer Cornelia Funke writes books any reader will enjoy.

    In the sequel Inkspell, the Folchart family find themselves in the book Inkheart. Mortimer is mistaken for the notorious robber The Bluejay. Meggie rushes off to help and makes a deal with the horrible king the Adderhead that could leave the Adderhead immortal. In the last book Inkdeath, Mortimer out of the sake to save his family makes a deal with death that could lead to his own, and his daughters. How can Mortimer survive all these terrible thing happening in his life.

    My favorite book is Seekers Fire in the Sky. The main characters are a black bear, polar bear, and two brown bears. One of the brown bears is a shape changer. They travel around the ice splitting up and finding each other again.

  16. Sammy Keys and The Hotel Thief In the book Sammy Keys and The Hotel Thief, the main character is Samantha Keys a 7th grader who does a bit of detective work .She lives in an apartment with her grandmother where kids aren’t allowed. The book starts when Sammy is looking out of a window and she sees a man dressed in black stuffing silverware in a bag and she waves.
    Sammy gets in a lot of trouble but in the end she catches the thief. I think you will like this book because it is action packed.

  22. Harry potter and the Socere’s Stone Book review
    By
    S.P.
    These days I am reading a book called arry potter and the Sorcere’s Stone by J.K. Rolling. This book is about a wizard called Voldermart. Voldermart is trying to kill an eleven years old orphan called Harry Potter. Voldermart Killed Harry’s parents, a bunch of other innocent wizards and wizards, and he killed Harry’s relatives. Harry goes to a magical school called Hogwarts.
    This book is very engaging because once the fun begins it doesn’t stop. At Hogwarts Harry is discovering his own capabilities as a Wizard. He learns how to do magic tricks like Wingardiam Leviosa witch is a spell that makes things fly. The title of the book also has some significance because Voldermart trying to get the Sorcere’s Stone so that he becomes immortal and Harry saves the day by stopping Voldermart. I highly recommend this book to everyone and I can’t wait to read the next book.

  23. Diary of a Wimpy kid, Dog Days

    This story is about a boy named Greg Heffley who attends his first year of middle school. In the book Greg and his best friend Rowley get into a lot of trouble when they try to fit in with all the other middle schoolers . My favorite part is when Greg`s dad found Greg and Rowley sleeping in the bathroom . The reason they slept in the bathroom is that they were scared because watched a horror movie that they weren`t supposed to watch. I liked that part because Greg had to start a book club with his friends and neighbors. I recommend this book because it`s funny and kids our age can relate to it.
