Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Book 1

By
Jeff Kinney
The book starts out with Greg’s mom getting him a diary to put all his thoughts and feelings in.  He makes sure you know that it is not a diary, it is a journal.  He really wants to be rich and famous so he can do better things than just answering people’s stupid questions. 
One of the parts that I thought was really funny was on the first day of school.  The teacher says, “I hope you all like where you’re sitting because these are your permanent seats.”  The … (11 comments)

Could Be Worse
By
James Stevenson

This book is about where a grandpa is always the same.  Then one day he goes to bed and gets taken by a bird and gets hit by a snowball thrown by an abominable snowman and falls off a mountain.  Then he walks and walks and gets stepped on by a monster and then gets kicked by an ostrich and flies into the clouds, then falls under water.  He finds a cup that has air in it and then he finds a lobster and a squid that shoots ink all over.  He gets … (13 comments)

book reviews for kids by kids: As a teacher you job is to inspire, but I certainly didn’t expect this! - 02/26/11 03:10 AM

As homeschooling dad and Realtor® in Beaverton, Oregon, I’m always on the looking out for ways to educate and inspire my children to do more. One of the things I did with my oldest daughter Meesha a couple years ago was have her do some guest posts on my blog.

These guest posts were “Book reviews by kids for kids” and originally they were done to give her homework and improve her writing skills as well as give her outside positive feedback that I knew the members of Activerain would supply. (And you didn’t disappoint)

Then her brother … (16 comments)

Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Greg says summer vacation is basically a three month guilt trip.  He says he is more of an indoor person.  Unfortunately, Greg’s mom thinks different than Greg.  His mom’s idea is to have a perfect summer vacation.  When Greg and Rowley invited a girl along, she went and fell in love with the lifeguard.  That vacation was terrible. 
Well, this book was great. I loved it.

Kingdom Keepers
Disney After Dark

by
Ridley Pearson
I really enjoyed this book.  My copy was signed by the author.  This book was about five teens who were chosen to be DHI’s (Disney Host Interactive).   What they do is use special equipment to record their movements and use them as holograms that guide guests through the park.  But then, all five of them start having weird “dreams” where they show up at Disney World at night, after itls closed.  They are still in their hologram forms when they are there.  They find out they need to save the park from … (4 comments)

Anne of Green Gables
By
L.M. Montgomery
I really enjoyed this book.  It is about a couple named Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert.  They wanted to adopt a boy about the age of 10 or 11 to help Matthew with the chores, but there was a mistake and they got a girl whose name was Anne.  She is 11, a sweet girl with red hair and freckles.  She talks a lot, has a big imagination and makes mistakes.  But she never makes the same mistake twice. 

Matthew takes her to Green Gables to show Marilla and Anne falls in love with … (8 comments)

Magyk
Book 1
By Angie Sage

I really enjoyed this book.  It was very suspenseful.  I could not keep my hands off of it!  It was about a boy whose name was Septimus Heap, he was stolen from his family the day he was born.  He was the seventh son of the seventh son.  That same night, his dad, Silas Heap, found a baby girl and named her Jenna.  He raised her like she was his own daughter. 
On Jenna’s 10th birthday, Marcia (an extraordinary wizard) came by to the Heaps and told Jenna she was a … (10 comments)

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON
by
Cressida Cowell
 
I really enjoyed this book.  I would recommend it for anyone starting at about age six, especially if they love humorous books. 
It’s about a boy named Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, who is the son of a chief.  He needs to become a Viking.  The first thing he needs to do is catch a sleeping dragon.  He ends up getting the most common little garden dragon, and to top it off, it has NO TEETH!  Hiccup named him Toothless.  However, he did one thing wrong.  Hiccup can speak Dragonese, which … (8 comments)

DREAMER
I enjoyed this book. It was very exciting. It is about a girl named Cale Crane who lives on a farm with no horses at the time and Cale met a jockey named Manolin at her dad's work, which is at a racetrack. She also saw a horse named Sonya who likes to eat candy.
The people who owned Sonya entered her in the race even though Cale's dad suggested that they should let her rest and not race. Just as Sonya was pulling into the front, she collapsed to the ground and the vet said she broke … (14 comments)

NO DOGS ALLOWED
I enjoyed this book. It was about a girl named Kristine and her family who lost their horse, Dandy. After that Kristine never wanted to love another pet again. But her dad surprises her and gives her the last thing she wanted for her birthday... a new puppy! With a baby sister on the way, why should she need to take care of a puppy?
After a couple of weeks in their house with the puppy, a new fence was being put up. During this, Kristine went to go feed Mattie (the puppy's name). Mattie kept jumping … (5 comments)

The Secrets of Droon
Journey to the Volcano Palace


I loved this book. It was very exciting. It was about Eric, Neal and Julie. They all had weird dreams and each of them were about Droon. In the last book, Keeah said your dreams will say when to go back. So, Eric, Neal and Julie went to check if the stairs had returned because they disappeared after the last time. So, they go check the closet where the stairs were and they were back! They could go to Droon again.
So they go down the stairs and … (8 comments)

The staircase leads to a a magical place called Droon. There they meet a princess, who is also a wizard, named Keeah. She needs to stop Sparr, who wants to conquer Droon.

FABLEHAVEN
Book 1


Fablehaven is a great book! It's about 2 kids, Kendra and her brother Seth, who go to their rarely seen grandparents' house. They solve a little mystery about their grandpa and the large preserve he lives on. It turns out he is caretaker of Fablehaven, a magical preserve, where there are trolls, satyrs, witches, imps and fairies. Since Kendra and Seth don't know this at first, their grandpa wants them to figure it out so he can have someone to take over Fablehaven when he's done.

WARRIORS - Book 4
Rising Storm


This book is very exciting and suspenseful. I really enjoyed it. In this book, Bluestar is shaken up and not herself because (in book 3) Tigerclaw attacked her and Tigerclaw was her most trusted warrior and the clan's deputy. He attacked Bluestar so he could become leader, and he failed.

In the middle of this book, Fireheart found out Cloudpaw (his nephew) was sneaking “kittypet” food from the human place. One time when he went to get food, he was taken away by the humans and he wasn't seen for a … (3 comments)

WARRIORS 
FOREST OF SECRETS


I really enjoyed this book. It was very adventurous. Its great for anyone looking for adventure. It was a pretty thick book, at just over 300 pages. I would recommend this book for someone around age 8 all the way through to adult. (My grandma likes this series too.)
This book is number 3 in a series. I hope, if you read it, you'll enjoy it as much as I did.

WARRIORS BOOK 2
FIRE AND ICE

I loved this book. It was full of adventure. (Book 1 was about Firepaw's adventure as an apprentice, training to become a warrior.)
In this book, because Firepaw became a warrior, his name was changed to Fireheart. This book is about Fireheart's adventures as a warrior and a mentor. Fireheart's apprentice was named Cinderpaw. She was very adventruous and excited about training and jumped ahead every time she went hunting. During leaf-bare a sickness, called greencough, runs thru the forest and a lot of warriors and kits get sick and die. So Fireheart went … (9 comments)

American Sisters
Down the Rio Grande
1829
 
I enjoyed the story. It was exciting and adventurous. It was about a girl named Rosita who feels unappreciated, so she runs away. Her stepsister Maria (whom she doesn't like) follows her onto a boat and they end up going down the Rio Grande. While on the boat, Maria and Rosita become friends. Also while on the boat, someone comes by and asks if they've seen Rosita and Maria and said that their father was ill because he missed them so much. The guy who finds them gets a reward, so the captain … (5 comments)
