Book Recomendation

Title: The Diary of a Wimpy Kid Dog Days


Author: Jeff Kinney                     


Diary of a Wimpy Kid Dog Days was a good book. It was about a kid named Greg and his summer vaction. Greg gets mad when he has to pay a bill for his smoothies at the country club and can't go back. He plays his video game for the rest of  his summer, when his mom asks him if he wants to go to the pool. He is disgusted when he walks and sees old men with chest and back hair. Greg spends his summer at the pool next to his secret crush Heather Hills until it's time to go home.

I recommend this book because it is funny and I have also had some boring summer days. If I were Greg, I would go swim in the pool with his baby brother Manny and the other kids.


Its about a kid named Mel Jensen and hes new to a basketball team and he thinks he could be a good part of the starting lineup on the basketball team but there are two other players on the team that wont let him get a chance to show how good he is. Those two players are Caskie and Stoney and they're also ignoring him and being mean to him. For example there was a couple of times that he was open and asking for the ball and they didn't pass it to him. He knows it's because he is black and he doesn't know if he should do the same to them or just try to become friends with them.                                              

The Amulet by Zen

                                                                            The Amulet         
                       
The Amulet is about girl that lost her father when she was a child and moved with her brother and mother to a different country.

The book is called the amulet because while the girl and her brother are cleaning their room they find a weird slab of stone on top of a table, and it has a hand print in it, and when the girl sticks her hand in it, her hand fits perfectly and an amulet comes up.  

Her brother tried to tie it around her neck but it automatically ties itself.  This is the beginning of how they find out what the amulet can do.

At first it was sad.  I didn't think it was going to get better but it did.
I kept on reading and it got boring because it was all about them walking around but I kept on reading and then it got exciting again. 

My favorite parts of the book were the action packed.  She had to fight crazy bugs with eyeballs sticking out of its back and her mother got caught by the crazy bugs.  

At the end of the book she even fought an elf that had an amulet too.  I would recommend this book to people who like fantasy.
                                             

Sounder Book Reconmendation


The first book I am recommending to readers is the book Sounder by William H. Armstrong. The genre of this book is non fiction. Sounder is about a boy who is poor and sad .How the boy gets throw the horrible experience is his dog sounder  that’s where the tittle came from. His mother doesn’t come up that much in the movie; the father was taken away from the sheriff.  No one knows why his father went to jail neither does his son knows why. As the boys dad was taken away in the sheriffs car Sounder was chasing the car for his family the bam he was shot with a shot gun. Sounder was still alive but had tons of wounds.
 

One example is his eye was messed up sort of out of the socket. Sounder had never been in worst
conditions.  The boy was feeling even more sad because he knew Sounder was going to die soon. Like his mother said. Another example is Sounders legs were hurt he tried to get back up but failed to do. Sounder was trying to stay strong but sadly later he died.  The boy wanted to cry but he didn’t know what to do. After that day sounder died and his dad went to jail his life was horrible worse than before. Now he still is poor his best friend died and his dad went to jail and still is.

I enjoyed this story because I really felt like I knew how this boy really felt. Another reason why I liked this story is because it was a good book to me it had lots of internal thoughts and how he felt. The book looked cool to me when I read the blurb. The blurb was short and made me think the author gets straight to the point. Finally people should read this book because it’s interesting and it is an award selling book.

This book really locks you in at the beginning  of the story  if you like war/history. The book takes place in  1944 in the middle of  world war II  this guy named Scott Pendleton  Collins  he is a  U.S soldier, before he went to war Scott and his friend Bobby hid a going away party with there family's .After the party Scott's uncle Richard gave  him a journal but his mom did not give him a gift he told his mom that he dose not need a gift but he did want a gift he wanted to have a picture of him on the wall like his grate-grandfather Phillips R.Collins who fought in the civil war and his father that fought in the first  world war. That was a little part of the story.If you ask me I would say this book is great  if  you like war/history book this book keep's you locked in from the moment you read it to the moment you finish it, I would say the most exiting part is the middle because that is the part he goes in to war in  Normandy,France I would give this book  5 stars out of one.If you like war or history you should read this book but if you like history you should try the My name is america series.
Big Nate Lincoln Peirce realistic fiction I enjoyed this book because it showed me to keep trying and trying if i cant do some thing and because is funny. I think that you will like this book because is has moments when Nate dose kid of dome things. The main character is Big Nate he invited a girl to dance in the school. one of the problems he face is that he is a kind that wants to beat a Jefferson team because he beats his team every time. Big Nate learn a lesson he learn is good to keep trying and trying if you want to do something or get something. The them of the book is that Nate is that he is trying to beat jefferson team one reason is Big Nate team was trying to think of what game or sport they can win them at. This book is similar to a book called Cabin Fever is about a kid to that is trying to be a good kid. Other information is that my want read this book is that is you read it it will sound kind of funny.

BIG NATE

                   Book Recommendation     

    I recently  just finished the book Big Nate goes for broke. It is a great and funny book.There is a kid named Nate.What happens is that Nate gets a cast because his hand is hurting really bad.So when he was in the hallway a girl came and  said "Can I please sign your cast."So Nate said"       Sign away."So the girl left and Nate looked down at his cast and saw that she wrote "PS38 stinks".Nate was mad because last time Chad had a cast and all the girls wrote nice things on his cast.Nate's personality is a kid that gets  in trouble lots of times.Big Nate is a realistic  fiction.I can't wait to read the rest of the Big Nate seires.I really love this book and hope you can read it too !

AMULET 1 BOOK BUZZ 

Amulet 1 is a really good book it combines action/adventure the best combination.the main characters aren't that bad emily is a smart brave person witch is why salles chose her to be one of the stonekeepers and naven being the younger brother is trying to figure out and help his sister.



The begining of the story starts with a real depresing back story about how her father died  the rest of the story is when they move into her grandfathers house and how she found the amulet.After that her mother gets kidnaped and the rest of the book is about when she met the rest of her crew .



This book is a great book to read if you want a good story good action and great characters I suggest that you reed amulet for a good time.
