Review of The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor

Reviews of Unwind and Bone

Reviews of Unwind by Neal Shusterman

Ben: This book was really good and scary.5

Mike: This book came in strong and kept going. 5

Sam: Great book. Lives up to the motto "save the best for last". Not something to read before going to bed. 5

Review of: The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie

Rating: 4.5 (out of 5)

Sam: Hilarious, deathly funny!

Jacob: It was a hilarious book.

Tommy: It was a funny book.

Mike T: totally funny and a great read.

Ben: O.K.

Review of NERDS:

Rating 3.4 out of 5

Emma: I would give this book a 3.5. It was pretty childish at one point, but I guess the rest was ok. Maybe, just maybe, I will read the second book. Unless a new Clique book comes out, then I just HAVE to read that.

Tommy: I would give this book a 5 because of all the action.

Nick: I give it a 3, the idea was funny, the NERDS group, the assassin, the evil plot. The story wasn't that action-packed or interesting though.

Ben: The book was good but not that great. Some of the jokes were really stupid, and it was not that funny overall. 2

Review of The Kingdom Keepers by Ridley Pearson
Rated 4.6 out 5


Emma: I thought Kingdom Keepers was an extremely well written book. I liked the whole Disney Park idea. 5

Sam: Although I didn't finish the book it was great until the part I read. 5

Tommy: It was a good book. I loved the Disney park theme. 5

Mike: I thought it was a great book. It reminded me about all the fun times I had at Disney. 5

Nick: It is well written, but the story isn't something that I find extremely enjoyable. 3
