Diary of a Wimpy Kid

I think that the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books are one of the funniest books in the world. I recommend this book for new readers because it doesn't have that many hard words. The illustrations are great!

The Spiderwick Chronicles


This book was not great, but there were good parts in it. The book had many hard words in it & there were some creepy parts.

Savvy

One of my friends recommended this book to me, and I thought it was really good.   Its about a family that has magical powers, But it's perspective is a girl named Mibs. The book made me think about how cool it would be if I did have powers.

How to Train your Dragon

I've read one book in the seven books of How to Train your Dragon, but I really liked it. It's about a boy named Hiccup, who is forced to find a dragon, train the dragon & present the dragon in a showcase.

The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle

I had to read this book for book group at my school. It was not my favorite book but it was (in a way) good. If you like books that have 12/13 year old girls, climbing up 130 ft poles, a old man who gets whipped & a creepy face in the darkness, go ahead... read it.All I'm saying is that I didn't really like it.

Percy Jackson and The Olympian Series

This series of books is my all time favorites!
It's about a boy named Percy, who learns that he is the son of Poseidon. Then he has to go on a quest to find his mom. It's full of adventure, excitement & romance.
