Jeremy and the Dragon by Brandon Mull

Fantasy
"Secrets of The Dragon Sanctuary having returned  scant hours ago from a singular adventure, I now find myself unable to suppress the urge to impart my thoughts."  My favorite part is in the chapter of Navorog. Then Gavin gets eaten in four bites! My mom said it was the best way for him to die. If you liked my book talk I recommend you read the whole series!"

Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jef Kinney

Realistic Fiction
This book is a funny book that some people could laugh at. One of the most funny parts I thought was funny is an page 172 it says, "Doctor could I have a new butt my old one has a crack in it?"

"Creighton I told you a million times, every ones BUTT has a crack in it!"

"Oh yeah, I forgot."

Rise of the Evening Star (Fablehaven) by Mull, Brandon

Fantasy
Seth gets captured and doesn't know what to do. I liked it when Seth got captured, because it is like a test to see if he can get out with out help. Because Seth goes in the woods when he is not suppose to. Kendra tries to help her grandparents out of the dungeon when she finds Seth they go to the dungeon. Their grand parents got captured in their own dungeon because of Vanessa and Errol. Vanessa and Errol are not nice people and are try to take over Fable Haven. If you fall asleep, Vanessa will bite you and you will be taken over and have to obey her and Errol's rules and do what they tell you to do.

Diary of a Wimp Kid by Kinney, Jeff

Graphic Novel/Comic
Greg Heffley is the main character. In this book Greg tells his mom to buy him a journal but his mom gets the wrong idea and bought him a journal with the name DIARY on it. Then he talks about the morons he sits by and says that he just sits between a bunch of hot girls now. Then he talks about the cheese touch and the only way you can't get it is by crossing your fingers. Next his brother wakes him up at three o'clock in the morning and says he slept through the whole summer. So he got ready and went down stairs to eat some ceareal. Then his dad comes and and says "WHAT ARE YOU DONG AT THREE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING!" That is not the whole book but thats just some basic parts of the book. This book for you if you like graphic novel books!

The Witches by Roald Dahl

Warning! This is not a fairy tale. This is about real witches. This is The Witches by Roald Dahl. My favorite part is when the Grand High Witch takes off her mask. She is really ugly. Her face looks like a rotten maggot chewed apple. I like this because it shows that if we try, we can overcome powerful witches.
