Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, reviewed by Emma S.



This book is about 14 year old wizard, Harry Potter. This year at Hogwarts instead of Quidditch (a sport wizards and witches like to play on brooms) there is a tournament called the Triwizard Tournament. To sign up for the tournament, Harry needed to put his name in the Goblet of Fire (which is a magical registration object) but there is an age limit so Harry cannot put his name in. The Goblet of Fire is used picks three champions to compete in the Triwizard Tournament. The champions are soon picked, but Harry's name comes out as a fourth. And the rest of the story is about Harry trying to survive throughout the tournament, and also trying to find out who put his name in.

I really liked this book and  I would rate it a 10-10 because it was a page turner and I could NOT put it down. I would recommend this book for boys and girls who like fantasy mysteries and action.

Book review for Spy School by Stuart Gibbs. Reviewed by Matthew E

Ben Ripley thought he was a normal kid, until he came home one day and found a man in a tuxedo in his house. After being accepted into the CIA training school he needed to prove that he could be a spy. But he began to wonder what he got himself into. And this led to a dangerous mole hunt.

I really liked this book because it is a shortish book and it has a lot of action in it. I would recommend this book for people who like spy books or just a lot of action. I would rate this book an 10/10.

Because of Mr. Terupt reviewed by Melanie S

Because of Mr. Terupt

The book I read is because of Mr. Terupt. The book is about a awesome teacher that doesn't get mad if a kid does something bad or talks out of turn. So the class has this award system where they have paper ring that they hang from the ceiling. If the rings reach to the ground they get a free day where they get to do anything they want. So that day came and that went outside and the class trickster threw a snowball and it hit Mr. Terupt. Find out if Mr. T dies or lives by reading the book!

I love the book! I liked this book because it had so much going on always and to me it was easy to get into. I would give this book 4 stars because it was really good, but I didn't like how they would go over some parts of the book a lot because the book is being told by all of the kids. I would recommend this book to someone that doesn't mind a little sadness but not too much.

Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli, Reviewed by Maya




     Leo Borlock follows the unspoken rule at Mica Area High School: don't stand out! But when Stargirl arrives at Mica everything changes. After being home schooled all her life, Stargirl bursts into tenth grade in an explosion of color and ukulele music, amazing the students at Mica.

     But when Stargirl makes the Mica basketball team lose, she is shunned for everything that makes her different. Somewhere throughout Stargirl's rise and fall in popularity, normal Leo finds himself in love with her.

     I loved Stargirl! It really made me want to run into school and go crazy. It inspired me to not care what other people think. I am in 5th grade and found Stargirl a little easy. Maybe a late 4th or early 5th grade book. Stargirl is more of a girl book because, it talks about girls high school drama and self consciousness. I highly recommend Stargirl!

T.S. Spivet, Reviewed by Esmé 5B



Spoiler Alert!


T.S. Spivet is a genius mapmaker. After getting a call telling him to accept an award at the Smithsonian, he journeys from Montana to Washington D.C. Along the way he rides the rails, gets stabbed, and learns a secret about his mother.  To see what happens at the end of the book, highlight to the right of this- it is written in white text. In the end he accepts the award, and goes home with his father. I enjoyed this book a lot.

I liked this book because it was original, interesting, and I didn't want to stop reading it. It isn't really fantasy but at one point there is a wormhole! I would recommend it for people who enjoy really original books. This book was not very hard to read, and I understood it at all times. Overall "The Selected Works Of T.S. Spivet" gets a 9/10.

A Bear Called Paddington

By Michael Bond


Noah Thomas

       The book I read was called A BEAR CALLED PADDINGTON, it is about a bear from darkest Peru South America and can talk. He has a funny looking green hat with a red line near the brim that his uncle gave him. The bear had always had his hat and a suitcase with him. He imagrated from darkest Peru. His aunt Lucy always wanted him to imagrated that's when she taught him to speak English. His aunt was in a home for retired bears. So he imagrated all the way by himself. And luckily the Browns found him on Paddington station and he had a tag on him that said " please take care of this bear, thank you." And that was exactly what the Browns did they took care of the little brown bear. They even gave him a name since he was found on PADDINGTON station they gave him the name PADDINGTON. Read the book to find out all the adventures he had with the Browns and all his new experiences in this new land, also all the friends he makes. Also, watch the movie PADDINGTON in theaters. 


        The rating of the book would be ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ five stars out of five stars. I would rate the movie a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ five star out of five stars. I would recommend this book to people who like colorful books. The book has no colors in it but the text is cheerful and fun and nice. I recommend this book to both genders and all kinds. What I liked about the book was that it was a fun book and also I could relate to the bass and the surroundings because I went to London over winter break. My favorite part was when he gets found on PADDINGTON Station and was founded by the Brown family.
