18th/ 2004 It was a great book! The characters are very real to life. If you like fantasy this is a great book for you. If you like this book you might like the Artemis Fowl trilogy Pen name: ConFlame City: Calgary This is a great book! It's an epic fantasy-adventure story that you would never put down. If you like adventure books, this is definately for you. It's another masterpiece by Kenneth Oppel Other Favourite Books I've Read=Eragon Pen name: Flames Fan City: Calgary What a great book! It's different than all the other books. It doesn't have same plot and ideas as all the others. Kenneth Oppel has used his talented writing skills to create characters that are innovative and interesting to read about. It's a little bit slow at the beginning, but becomes more interesting near the middle. So keep reading! Pen Name: Banana City: Calgary I really thought Airborne was a real thriller. Kenneth Oppel has made another great novel again. It is one of his best books yet GO KENNETH OPPEL!!! WOOT WOOT!!! Other Favourite Books I've Read=Sunwing, Firewing, Silverwing, Shadowgate, Dragonsnest Pen name: Boneye City: Calgary Airborn is a pretty good book, but it is very hard book for people that are using English for their second language!! Other Favourite Books I've Read: Ravens end. Pen name: Lunch City: Calgary I thought your book was GREAT! My favourite part was when the pirates were fighting in the ship. The scary part was when the bird bit Matt’s friend in the leg. The funny part was when Matt went inside the closet. Other Favourite Books I've Read: A to Z mysteries Pen name: Z Bille City: Calgary Airborn is a wonderful book. If you start to read it you will never want to put it down. Airborn is very emotional. It is about a young man that is very determined to carry on his family tradition. Pen name: Soccer girl City: Calgary |

fantasy. Pen name: Cricket City: Toronto |

Anne
of Green Gables |
| Anne
is a very talkative girl who is an orphan. She gets adopted by Matthew
and Marilla by mistake and they decide to, maybe, keep her. Read this
book and the other books from the Anne of Green Gables novels and
get satisfaction from these reads. Pen name: Beauty Princess City: Toronto, ON Anne of Green Gables was a cool book I also liked the movies! Even though I feel sorry for Anne but I also do not think it's fair that parents abandon their children!

is Mulch Diggums. I hope this author comes out with another book.
I hope I get to meet such of an amazing author. Pen name: Smitkid1 City: Calgary This book is a very interesting book to me.

Pen name: AerosmithRocks City: Calgary Eoin Colfer is an amazing author! My favorite character is Holly Short. I like her because she has a good personality. This book is very good and you should try it if you like books about magic. If you like this book you might want to try Artemis Fowl: The Artic Incident.

Bad
Beginning, The - A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 1
|
| This book is about three children. Their parents died in a fire and they get placed into other relatives homes but all those relatives die and the last place they go in is a guy that wants their fortune. He makes the children do all the housework. Soon the kids want to go but they have a hard time. That's all I'll tell because I don't want to spoil the book. Pen name: Book Lover City: Calgary, AB This is a story about three children who are in for a never ending life of misery (well at least in the series). From lossing their parents in a mysterious fire, to living in a dingy mansion with the evil Count Olof is just a small taste of things to come. If you think your life was not worth living, then you have obviously not read the series of unfortunate events. If you read these books, you may have nightmares and fears as long as you live, however, reading these books will indeed change your life in one way or another. Pen name: Bobby City: Calgary, AB This book has a lot of adventure and as the title says it has many unfortunate events so if you like a book with a happy little elf frolicking with happiness this book is not for you! You will be shocked to see how many time sthe three Baudelaire get out of a mess Violet, the oldest sister, Klaus, the middle brother and Sunny, the youngest sister of the three get into, and of course the bad guy Count Olaf adds to it all! So if you like books with lots of flowers and happiness please don't read this! Other Favorite Books I've Read: Kasper Snit Pen name: Bookworm City: Winnipeg, MB This is a good book. Pen Name: Travis City: Calgary, AB This book has much adventure from the beginning to the very end it will leave you hanging. Violet, Klaus, and Sunny have a very misfortunate thing happen to them! Their parents die in a very horrible fire then they are taken to their uncle cousins husband brother-in-law(or something like that) Count Olaf. Count Olaf isn't well the nicest man ever. Violet, Sunny and Klaus end up in a horrible time. If you want to find out more read it. You can find it at your local library. It will be under snicket. Happy haunting! (p.s. It is awesome!) Pen name: real nice City: Calgary, AB Lemony Snicket is an awesome author (at least the best author I’ve ever heard about!). Violet, Klaus and Sunny loose their parents in an unfortunate fire. Then they go to a man’s house that they've never heard about named Count Olaf. They soon figure out that he is trying to murder them to get the fortune that there parents left behind!! Follow Violet, Klaus and Sunny are in a never-ending unfortunate series of 12 books!! Other Favourite Books I've Read: Because of Winn-Dixie Pen name: Book Boy City: Calgary, AB Lemony Snicket is a good writer. The bad beginning is one of my favourite books in “The Series of Unfortunate Events. It is the beginning that interested me so much. It is about these very rich kids then one day their parents die. Other Favourite Books I've Read: Dusty Locks and the Three Bears. Pen name: Pier City: Calgary, AB The Penultimate Peril (The second last book of the series) My choice to review the twelfth book of the Series of the Unfortunate Events was based on how amazing I think the other books are. To me, this book went over the top. It was the best of them all. This book continues when the Baudelaire orphans go with Kit Snicket in hope that all the mysterious will be solved. Their hopes were dashed when they found out they would be spies at the Hotel Denouement. They have more and mare puzzles to solve. When they were pretending to be concierges, they met many people they wished they would never see again, and they also met many of their old friends. Of course they met the evil villain Count Olaf and his “in” girlfriend. Why I particularly like this book the best, is because of all the characters that came back from the previous books. I thought it was great how the Baudelaire’s and all the previous characters were in the same hotel, and how a mysterious J.S. invited them there. This was also a great book because some of the puzzles are starting to unravel. It also built great anticipation for the next and last book. The Baudelaire’s are also realizing how many enemies they have out there, and also how many friends. My favorite thing of all about this book is the way Lemony Snicket writes it. It always makes me laugh, because of all the amazing characters. Also, it always keeps you on the edge of your seat. He gives away new information about the mysterious, but not enough to know what happens. And that is why I recommend this book. Pen name: Princess City: Calgary I really liked this book because it had a lot of suspense and was just an excellent book. I have personally loved reading all Lemony Snicket books!!!!!

Because of Winn-Dixie |
| I read Winn-Dixie and I think this book is great. It shows how a young person feels with people around it and with dogs. The chapters start and finish when the most exciting things happen. It makes you read from chapter to chapter until you finish the book. Other Favourite Books I've Read: Midnight for Charlie Bone Pen name: Book Crazy City: Calgary, AB Because of Winn Dixie made me smile, made me cry, made me laugh out loud. The movie was even better. I love the dog (Winn Dixie.) If you are reading this go out rent the book from the library or go buy it. Ohh and also go watch the movie." Other Favourite Books I've Read: Harry Potter Pen name: Cat_dog_1234 City: Calgary, AB Because of Win-Dixie is one of my favourite books because it just is.

lived in many places in the US. Suddenly Dinnie's relatives come and
"kidnap" her and move her to Switzerland. Dinnie is forced to go to

Book
of Three, The |
| Wow!
This was such a great book! I was left wanting to read the next one
(there are 5 other books in the series.) I am loving this. It's fantasy
meets sci-fi. It's like the Lord of the Rings in a lot of ways and
I like that! Pen name: Mystic-of-the-southern City: Calgary That is a really good book. Very carefully done, with humour and suspense; a great mixture! I enjoyed reading it very much. I couldn't stop. Alexander made his books in a way that every chapter seems like some candy you can't wait to get chewing on. I enjoyed it, and am now moving on to the next book in the series, The Black Cauldron! Pen Name: Scipio City: Walkertown |

Buddy
is a Stupid Name for a Girl |
| This
book was amazing! It was about a young girl nicknamed Buddy. When
her dad goes missing, and her brother leaves to search for him, Buddy
is stuck living with her aunts, who weren't too fond of her because
of some things that her now dead mother was accused of doing. This
book has a wonderful variety of characters, my favorite being the
grandpa who can't remember a thing! Willow Davis Roberts keeps you
guessing and gives the book a unique plot. This book would defiantly
be one of my favorite books! Pen name: ♥Buddy♥ City: Calgary |

It is about this girl name Leslie and this boy name Jesse. Leslie moves into a house called the Perkins’s place.

Charlie
and the Chocolate Factory |
This
book is an absolute classic. You won't be able to go on with your
life if you haven't read it. You should also read the second book
in the series as well. You can thank Roald Dahl for the wonderful
story and the information, detail, description, and great vocabulary
he used. |

Cool! |
| The
story was about a boy who was in a coma named Robbie. His dog Lucky
ran out in the middle of the road and just missed being hit by a car
but Robbie got hit by the car! I didn’t like that part. At the
end Robbie’s dog Lucky came to the hospital and woke Robbie
up and he wasn’t in a coma anymore! The end made me feel happy!
Pen name: Bugs Bunny City: Calgary The story was about a boy that was in a coma. He had a dog named Lucky. I liked that there was an animal in the book and I really like dogs too. I didn’t like when he was in a coma or when a car hit the dog. The book said football. But it meant soccer for the game he played. When he was in the hospital his class sent him a tape and said a few things each. It was a pretty easy book for me but I liked the book a lot. Pen name: Tweets City: Calgary |

Coraline |
| Coraline
is a remarkable book. I recommend it to those who enjoy fantasy
literature with a touch of mystery. While you read it you are forced
to piece things together as they come up. I loved it because it
allows you to think with Coraline while enjoying the book itself.
A great read! |

| The
Dark is Rising is a great book that I really enjoyed because I like
the suspense and magic. The author uses amazing words so it makes
you feel like you're actually in the action! I am now reading the
fourth book. Susan Cooper makes her books fantastic from start to
end. This great series reminds me of Emily Rhoda's Deltora Quest.

fudge was so funny I could not put it down. I think the best part
was Fudge's reaction when his tooth got swallowed. I also thought
that Fudge's obsession with money was great too. It's a great book. |

Rider by Cornelia Funke really pulls you in. It has very fun characters.
It is about a dragon called Firedrake and a cat-like creature called
a Brownie. They go on a quest to find a beautiful place called the
rim of heaven. They later find a boy named Ben who comes along on
their quest. There is a bad guy named Nettlebrand a.k.a: The Golden

you would like this book a lot. Other Favourite Books I've Read: Inkheart Pen Name: Moocow City: Calgary |

Eldest |
| I
think Eldest was an awesome book. It had all the things I was looking
for in it. It contained betrayal, honour, trust, and love. The only
thing I didn't like in this book was that it was over! When I read
Eragon, I really wanted to read Eldest because Christopher Paolini
leaves a really awesome ending to Eragon. Eldest was full of suspense
and excitement, and really did not disappoint me. In short, I LOVED
it!! Other Favourite Books I've Read: The Named, The Dark, The Key Pen name: Booklover City: Calgary, AB |

This was one of the best fantasy books I've ever read and I read books after books of fantasy . Other Favourite Books I've Read=The Amulet of Samarkand Pen name: Fantasy Fan, Hawkwood, City: Calgary It sounds like a really good book, but it's really hard to get past the few first chapters. After that, it starts to pick up the pace, but is still very slow moving. Pen name: Bookie City: Calgary Eragon was an awesome book. I can't wait to read Eldest. I would like to know how did the author think of writing the ancient language? Where did he get the idea of the book? Pen name: Theo Dragon Rider City: Calgary I really loved this book. I read it 2 times! I just did not want to put it down. Pen name: Neo DragonRider City: Calgary It is a great book with lots of excitement and adventure.

Flames

Wilson’s book, Flames of the Tiger, is a very fascinating World
War 2 Chronicle. A young German named Dieter gets to live through
a nightmare during the war. Dieter and his sister, Greta, are desperate
to live. Surviving the war is the hardest part; the author takes you
through the voyage of a lifetime, as you are right next to Dieter
in his horrific childhood. As Dieter tries to provide for his family
in these hard times you cannot imagine how much suffering he has to
go through to get to achieve his goals. Watch as Dieter struggles

Holes |
| Holes is a really cool and interesting book. The main character goes from living in the city to living in a desert and digging holes all day. Now that's a big change. Lois Sachar made a really awesome book. Pen name: Lipstick City: Calgary I like Holes because it is a very interesting book. I like how they called their new shoe deodorant Sploosh after the peach drink. I also like how Stanley Yelnats first name is his last name spelled backwards. I also like how creative the book is with the names. Pen name: Kat City: Calgary I thought it was a very cool book. It is about a boy named Stanley Yelnats. He has no luck and it is all because of his no good dirty rotten pig stealing great great grandfather. Pen name: Quagle City: Calgary Awesome. A great book to read. A boy named Stanley Yelnats finds a pair of Clyde Livingstone shoes. The police thought he had stolen them so he got sent to Camp Greenlake to let's just say dig. Pen name: Lancaster2 City: Calgary I really liked this book. I read it in literacy (class) last year. The only thing that is that I kind of got mixed up with the whole plot near the middle, but other then that it was a good book. Pen name: Stephen City: Calgary Holes takes place in the dried up lake bed of Camp Green Lake. The main character, Stanley Yelnats, is sent to Camp Green Lake for a crime he did not commit. Camp Green Lake is sort of like a jail. Every morning the kids at the camp wake up and dig holes. But what for? Stanley wants to find out. Stanley makes friends with another boy at the camp named Zero and they go on an adventure to find out the truth. Holes is a great story with great characters. If you like mysteries or adventures, Holes would be a good book for you! I would also recommend the movie because its just as good as the book! Pen name: DK!

If
you're not from the prairie
|
I
just love reading David Bouchard's books. This book made me feel
like I am from the Prairies which I'm not. It was so well described
that it made you feel like you were really there. I think
this book told you a lot about the prairie and how people on the
prairie feel. It is very peaceful and it has beautiful pictures.
I liked how the pictures were painted and I recommend this book
because I think children and grown-ups can enjoy reading it together.
"If
You're Not From The Prairie" is a very well written and illustrated
book that is presented as a poem. I love the way you don't have
to look at the picture because the poetic words describe the endless
beauty of the prairies. The reason I know about this book is because
our school librarian read us the book and highly recommended it.
Many others in my school agree that this book is an adventure for
your mind and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves descriptive
poetry (in other words everyone!!!). So go get it from a library
and read, Read, READ!!!!!!!!!! |

book is part of my favourite Author Geronimo stilton. On the back

but they are funny and scary at same time. Pen name: Shoe City: Calgary |

Inkheart
|
The
best book I ever read was Inkheart. It is really long and
really interesting. Another book to recommend is The Thief Lord.
It is by the same author named Carnella Funke. It is a really good
book because it has a lot of detail and has a lot of expression. Pen name: Gotbooks City: Calgary I thought Inkheart was a very, interesting book. Just when you thought their lives would be over, something else happens, and makes you want to read more. Inkheart use's it's own name in the book, in a way I can't tell you. You must find out for yourself! Other Favourite Books I've Read: The Amazing Days Of Abby Hayes Pen name: Sunshine City: Calgary Readers everywhere will love “Inkheart” the minute they pick it up, and not be able to put it down until they’re done. Meggie and her father are booklovers. But one night, a surprise visitor comes knocking at their door, causing a chain of events that will forever change their lives. Meggie will discover some new and startling facts: the secrets her father has kept all these years, the truth about her family, and most important of all – her own amazing abilities. But will it be enough to save them from their seemingly invincible enemies? Written in such descriptive detail, the words paint a picture so vivid that it seems almost real. Cornelia Funke unleashes our imaginations, telling a truly unique tale of the impossible coming true. This book is recommended to preteens and teens, but no booklover will be able to resist.

think that this is a great book. It is exciting and fun having murders
on the island is a good idea because it keeps you on the edge of your

and exciting you should read this book. Pen name: Eruk City: Calgary Awesome! This book is a great read. It is full of page-turning suspense. It is about some teenagers who get stranded on the island. Other Favourite Books I've Read: Mister Monday Pen name: ConFlame City: Calgary, AB Easily one of the best book I’ve ever read!!!!

Legend of the Wandering King |
| I don’t like this book because it is very boring. It is about a prince who wanted to win a poetry contest and lost, so he gave impossible tasks to the winner. The last impossible task was to weave a carpet that contains the history of people, the present and the future. After the guy did it he died of starvation and tireness.ow the carpet was stolen and the prince wanted to find it. In the end, he did and he possessed the knowledge of the entire hisory of human. It was one of the boringest book I've ever read, I give it a thumb down. Pen name: INX City: Calgary |

Little
Women |
| This
was an excellent book with a very touching storyline. It was easy
to fall in love with it! I would recommend it for readers aged 9-12. Pen name: Bookworm The main characters in this book are four sisters. I think that the four March sisters are wonderful. They are very kind and generous even though they do not have much to give. My favorite March sister is Beth. She tried to help a baby with scarlet fever but the baby died and Beth ended up getting scarlet fever. Beth doesn't complain much; she is happy with what she has - her family. I recommend this book. It is a great story about growing up in a loving family. Pen name: Rainbow Heart I absolutely loved Little Women. It was a truly touching story about the four March sisters. There's no other way to put it except that it was a wonderful tale of loss, love and adventure. Anyone who can read should read it. Pen name: Roxanne |

Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The
|
| These
books are beyond amazing. Nothing even compares to the suspense,
excitement and overall feel of the book. By the time you get to
the making of the fellowship you already have a real feeling for
the characters. When disaster hits Frodo you just can't put the
book down. Never before have I read anything even in the same ballpark!!!!! This is a great series to read by J.R.R. Tolkien. I started with The Hobbit. The Lord of the Rings is very complicated, but as long as you have a mind for it, it's a great read. The story starts in a quaint little place called "The Shire". The story starts with a birthday party for a certain Bilbo Baggins (the main character from The Hobbit). It goes from there to a very exciting adventure, in which Frodo Baggins, Bilbo's nephew travels from The Shire to a very dark place called Mordor. This
is an exciting story and a very good read. I would give it a try,
and I bet you will find it a tale of friendship, adventure and war. |

Music
of Dolphins, The |
| I
think that Music of the Dolphins is a great book. It tells you the
story of a girl who has just entered the world of humans. She was
found on a beach where a plane had gone down years before. Her name
is Mila. She has lived with dolphins most of her life. She is fed
and kept as a family member of the dolphins. She can talk to the dolphins.
When she is taught how to be a human again she learns about speaking,
music and much more. She is only 11 and doesn't know much about any
of these things. She makes many friends along the way. In the end
she; Well I shouldn't tell you about that. It would ruin the story. Pen name: Rain Bowl 992 This book is good and bad. First the bad part. This part is that the whole book is very sad and weird and cool at the same time and the good part is the ending is very happy!!! Pen name: Angel_K City: Calgary |

Secret Knowledge of Grown-ups, The
|
|
The book I want to review is that one where why adults say no to some of the gross things you do. I like the one where they say don't pick your nose. This is a very funny book. My favorite part was the part that tells us the real reason why we shouldn't jump on beds. Read the book to find out why. My Mom's favorite part why we shouldn't blow bubbles in our milk. |

Single
Shard, A |
| A
Single shard is one of my all time favorites. When I was reading
it I couldn't put it down. I just kept reading and reading. The
most fantastic part is when the pottery broke. If I were you I would
read it day in and day out! |

Surviving the Applewhites |
| This is one of the most confusing books that I have ever read. The
story begins with Jake having to go live and be home schooled by
the crazy Applewhites, a family of about a dozen. Jake didn't have
much choice after having been expelled from every school in the
state. When the family is putting together the performance of "The
Sound of Music", everyone gets into it. I give this story one
thumb up for excitement but it was still very confusing. Read it
yourself to find out if Jake can actually survive the Applewhites. |

Tale
of Despereaux, The
|
| The
Tale of Desperaux is a pretty good book. The things that created
the book was a small mouse with big ears, a spool of thread and
a bowl of soup. It's strange. I thought it was a little bit funny.
The oddest thing about the book is that a small mouse with big ears
goes to the dungeon to save the princess. It is a pretty odd book
that gave me some stuff to laugh about. People who are good readers
like me will find the book quite easy. |

Tuck
Everlasting |
Kidnapping,
murder, and a jailbreak, those three things are contained in this
exciting book written by Natalie Babbitt. This book includes many
adventures, and some heartwarming parts. It's about a girl who discovers
a family with a secret that I am not going to tell you about. But
family is the key to this book. If you like to read, then this book
is for you. It has so many different plots mixed with adventure,
humour, and tragedy. I would consider it for all ages, even if a
parent wants to read it to their child, the child would still like
it. I recommend this book to you! |

I stayed up really late trying to sneak in a couple more chapters before my mum or dad told me to put the book down. It's filled to the brim with love, but it was still almost overwhelmingly suspenseful! Pen name: The Bookworm City: Calgary, AB |
