TTYL Reviewed by Leila I

Over the past month, I read TTYL by Lauren. It's a story, completely written in 'texts' by three sophomores, Maddie, Angela, and Zoe. Angela, always crazy about boys, keeps getting her heart broken by her multiple 'boyfriends'. On the other hand, shy Zoe is getting hit on by her very religious teacher, but seems too clueless to realize. Maddie, and her outgoing self, keeps getting humiliated, but doesn't know what she's doing to herself. All of this drama can't hold their friendship together.

This book was basically a bird's eye view of all the drama in high school. It's a very mature book, and at parts, can be hard to handle, but overall it was a great story. I would only recommend this book to girls, as it has some explicit content. This was an amazing book.



Fotini reviews Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Harry Potter receives a letter to Hogwarts one day. And he goes there. One day, he gets on the quidditch team after catching Neville's remebrall in flying lessons. At his first game, his broom starts acting weird. His friends think that Snape, an annoying potions teacher, is doing it. And they think that he is after the Sorcerers Stone.
I think that this book was amazing and I could not wait to start the next book. If you like magic, adventure, and, drumroll please...... rule breaking, this is a book for you. If not, then I wouldn't recommend it.

From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs Basil E Frankweiler reviewed by Bella L

This story starts off with a girl named Claudia, who decides to run away. She chose her younger brother Jamie to come with her. Claudia decided to run away to The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Once they got there, there were long lines to visit a statue on display in the museum. Claudia and Jamie wanted to know why. Apparently that statue was probably made by Michelangelo, but nobody knows if he really did make it. Claudia and Jamie decided to find out. Will they find out? You will have to read the book to find out if they learn the secret of the statue!


I thought this book was a great book. I would rate it a 5 out of 5. I would recommend this book to anybody, especially if they like mystery books.

Because of Mr. Terupt review Maya W

It's the beginning of fifth grade for 7 students at Snow Hill School, Alexia, Luke, Anna, Danielle, Peter, Jessica and Jeffrey. This year they have a new teacher named Mr. Terupt. The year gets off to a bumpy start. But when the kids get to know their teacher they find themselves looking forward to school. Until the snowy winter day when an accident changes everything - and everyone.

I read Because of Mr. Terupt because my friend Anna recommended it to me. At first I was unsure, but right when I picked up the book I couldn't stop reading it. I think what makes this book so special is that you really make a connection with the seven characters and even Mr. Terupt. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a good book about love for a teacher and tragedy.

Adele reviews Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief

     I read Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. This book is about a boy named Percy. It's the end of the school year and Percy and his Mom are going on a vacation. They get to their beach house and it is raining. They get out of the car and go inside. Then there is a nock at the door. Percy's Mom answers the door. To find out more, READ THE BOOK! 😺
     I think that this is an awesome book, and I recommend it to people who like Ancient Greek gods and Mythology. It is a fun and interesting book and it always makes sure to keep your attention. If I had to rate it from 0-10, 0 being terrible and 10 being awesome, I'd give it a 10.

Maddie M reviews In A Glass Grimmly by Adam Gidwitz

This book is about a girl named Jill and a boy named Jack who are cousins but live very different life's. One day they have a very bad day and go to talk to each other and decide they are running away. All of a sudden an old lady appears and offers Jack and Jill thinks that they want if they find the greatest treasure called The Seeing Glass and the old lady makes them swear on their life's to find it. This leads them to Violent Giants, Evil Mermaids, Lying Goblins and even a giant salamander named Eddie. If you want to find out if Jack and Jill find and get The Seeing Glass, read In A Glass Grimmly.

I really enjoyed reading In A Glass Grimmily. Because it is that kind of book where they take an average fairy tale and turn it into something more exciting. I think a kind of person who would like In A Glass Grimmily in someone who likes adventure story's with plot twists and some darker fairy tales. I recommend this book to boys and girls and 5th graders and 6th graders.

Daniel's American Sniper Book Review




I read American Sniper. It was a very good book about a man named Chris Kyle. He is the best sniper in U.S military history. He has over 160 confirmed kills and a abundance of medals. He is a remarkable man and many people read the book and many more people saw the movie. He served in the military for 10 years 1999-2009. He was born to a family of four and then later finished life with his own family of four. When he died over 7,000 people attended his funeral in the Dallas stadium.


I would rate this book a 10 because it was so amazing. It was written by Chris Kyle so that made it every bit more interesting to hear from his point of view and what he has to say about everything
