Miss Spitfire - Book Review

Imagine being deaf and blind, with no one understand standing your needs or wants. All you can do is scream. That's the story of Helen Keller.

The story starts in 1887 when Anne Sullivan arrives at Ivy Green. Helen has a very aggressive attitude. D-o-l-l Anne spells into Helen's hand while she holds a doll in her other. Anne decides to teach Helen like this. The only problem is her attitude. She bites, scratches and kicks. Anne tries her best to teach Helen. Day by day, Helen grows more obedient and caring.

This book is amazing and I would recommend it to everyone. It is the miracle of learning. I think everyone can enjoy this book because there aren't lots of stories like this.

Dog Man: Lord of the Fleas - Book Review

We'll get to the root of Petey's problems. Why he's the villain, in every Dog Man book. Well, this time it's different. Petey's the good guy. We'll also meet his childhood friends, who want their revenge with a giant Robo-Brontosaurus. And Petey will fight back with the power of knock-knock jokes, in Flip-O-Rama. Will the power of good arise or will Petey stay his rotten old self? This book is very funny. Something I always enjoy about Dog Man books is Lil Petey (he's my favourite character). He always does this thing where he says "why" after everything. Here's an example from the book. Lil Petey is never mad or angry. He is always happy and innocent. He makes many jokes that are always HILARIOUS! I also really love Flip-O-Rama scenes, Dav Pilkey always has Flip-O-Rama's in his books. Flip-O-Rama is when you flip a page very quickly and it looks like it is animated. I think that anyone, any age would laugh and learn some...

Watch The Sky - Book Review

Before Jory's stepfather Caleb came along they used to live in the city, just Jory and his mom. His mom worked in a crummy coffee shop. She had met Caleb there when he defended her. They moved to an old farmhouse. They had found Jory's little sister in the fields eating pumpkins. Ansel, Jory's little brother, was born there. Jory Birch has no ordinary life. He has a life full of secrets, danger, silent sister and signs. Now he had to go to school too. Jory had always been home schooled by his mother. Kit was a secret. So were the signs. School was school and home was home. Jory couldn't let them mix. Friends were school and family was home. Signs were anywhere and everywhere, Caleb - Jory's stepfather says. Signs. They could be anywhere. They could be anything. They mean everything. Red leaves in the springtime. Pages torn from a library book. All the fishes in an aquarium facing the same way. A cracked egg with twin yolks. All signs. Caleb tol...

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Meltdown - Book Review

What will Greg Heffley do when it's a snow day? He'll have a neighbourhood snow battle, that's right. Greg Heffley lives on Surrey Street and it's quite different from your average neighbourhood. On Surrey Street, you're either a hill kid or a non-hill kid. Greg and the hill kids can't stand the non-hill kids. In the summer the kids at the bottom never let the hill kids play down there. But in the winter the tables are turned. The hill is amazing for sledding and all the non-hill kids want in. Upper Surrey Street ambushing lower Surrey Street kids If you really want to enjoy and understand this book you have to know your Wimpy. In this book, there are a lot of callbacks to things that happen in previous books. So, to understand this book read a couple of the older Wimpy Kid books. So I really loved this book. In fact, I really love the entire series. I would recommend this book to ages 10-12. Something I would love to see is this book in movie for...
