2. Music to read to: Dallas Green: City And Colour

At a Glance: I started listening to City and Colour when I was about 12-years-old. I remember listening to his new album (at the time 2012) and loved it. I was really into music during this time, I was listening to all new music but it was all rock/metal music. The mix is really good, he has one of the best voices I've ever heard, and great music for just chilling with friends or reading a

8. AudioBook Review: The Search for Wondla by Tony DiTerlizzi read by Teri Hatcher

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio; Unabridged edition (September 21, 2010)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1442334282
ISBN-13: 978-1442334281
Buy the Book: Amazon
Twelve-year-old Eva Nine has spent her entire life living in Sanctuary, an underground compound where she is cared for by the motherly robot, Muthr (Multi-Utility Task Help Robot). She's never met another human nor visited the surface and she longs to do both, dreaming of a world - and of the companionship and love to be found there - that she's only seen glimpses of on scraps of paper. When Sanctuary is attacked, Eva is forced to escape to the surface alone, where she soon finds that the reality of life there is more amazing and puzzling than she ever imagined. It is also far more dangerous.

Book Review

 I really liked this book. It was AMAZING! I think that The Search For Wondla is in my top ten favorite books. If you like stuff like Harry Potter and the Tigers Curse Series, you will enjoy this book. The book was a little sad, so sad I almost cried. I think I would like to listen to the audio again or maybe actually read it next time. My favorite character was Eva, I liked how she was really brave, and because she is trying to find another human.

Audiobook Review

The reader Teri Hatcher, does really well on reading the story and she also does really well on the different characters. To me, she is the female, non-British Jim Dayle. Teri Hatcher is one of my favorite readers. I would give her 4 Crowns. That's how good I thought she was.



We love our followers! =)

10. Book Review: A House Called Awful End by Philip Ardagh

Reading level: Ages 9-12
Hardcover: 128 pages
Publisher: Henry Holt and Co. (BYR); First Edition edition (September 1, 2002)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0805068287
ISBN-13: 978-0805068283

          • The first book in a hilarious, action-packed trilogy. Eddie Dickens is sent off to stay with his aunt and uncle and a riotously funny comedy of errors ensues. When both Eddie Dickens's parents catch a disease that makes them turn yellow, go a bit crinkly around the edges, and smell of hot water bottles, it's agreed he should go and stay with relatives at their house, Awful End. Unfortunately for Eddie, those relatives are Mad Uncle Jack and Even-Madder Aunt Maud. . . . This hilarious historical spoof, the first in the Eddie Dickens trilogy, has been called "a scrumptious cross between Dickens and Monty Python."



          • My Review
      • I liked the book it was funny but I don't think I would read it again. It was fine but I didn't like it that much! I liked how the author drew the characters and I liked how he drew the parents. I really liked how he drew the mom, she looks kinda' funny! I liked the story line, and how he wrote the book. It was good! I liked their rat thing! It's weird looking! :) But It is an okay book to read! I think it is a pretty good kids book! There is nothing bad in it, No cuss words or anything bad! Not the best book ever, but maybe worth the read because of the illustrations. Its good for Ages 9-12!

12. Book Review: Mallory on the Move by Laurie Friedman

Reading level: Ages 8-10
Paperback: 158 pages
Publisher: First Avenue Editions (November 2004)Language: English
ISBN-10: 1575058316ISBN-13: 978-1575058313

          • When you move, everything changes: your house your neighborhood, your town, and, worst of all, your friends. I know. I'm Mallory McDonald, age 8 1/2 plus 1 month, and that's exactly what happened to me. She's leaving everything behind, including her best friend. And to make matters worse, she's going to be living next door to a boy. Why cant life be like it was before her parents ruined it? How will she make new friends? what will happen when she gets stuck in the middle of an old friend and make a new friend? Mallory knows just one thing for certain, she's going to find out!   

          • My Review
          • I loved this book! Yeah, I think I would read it again, and yes.... I loved the book! the character that I really liked had to be Mallory and her best friend, they would always have to have the same nail-polish on and everything! I liked them. I didn't really like her brother, he would make fun of Mallory and her friend, he would call her Bird-Brain! HAHA! But I kinda' thought it was funny! HEHE! :) I really liked the book and I liked the story line! there was nothing bad in it, only that Mallory's brother had a bad attitude!

13. Ivy and Bean Break the Fossil Record by Annie Barrows


Reading level: Ages 7-10
Paperback: 124 pages 
Publisher: Chronicle Books (December 20, 2007)
Language: English 
ISBN-10: 081186250X 
ISBN-13: 978-0811862509  

 

 
Rambunctious second-grader Bean and her more conservative friend, Ivy, are back for another easy-chapter-book adventure. This time, a book of world records gets the class thinking of feats they can accomplish. Bean unsuccessfully (and hilariously) tries to break some records, then decides to be the youngest person to discover dinosaur bones and starts digging in the backyard. Ivy has read a book about Mary Anning, who found a dinosaur skeleton at the age of 12. 
My Review

 
I really liked the book and my favorite part is, the first part. I really liked the third-chapter, It was funny and my favorite character had to be Bean. I ♥ Bean, she is really funny. And I liked Ivy, she was funny too. I want to read the fourth one, it looks really good. My favorite book of Ivy and Bean has to be the second one.


I ♥ this book, it was really good! Read it! :)
We ♥ our followers!

15. Christmas must watch: Elf the movie

I know every body has seen ELF but, I wanted to review it because it is Christmas time and it is funny!
 I thought Elf was a very funny movie!  My favorite part: I really liked the part when he arrived in New York. I thought that it was really funny and I loved how he got hit by a taxi, and then apologized afterward! My favorite character: I really liked Buddy and Jovie. Why Buddy? because he is the main character and he is really funny! Why Jovie? because Buddy and her like each other and she is really pretty!




they only say 3 bad words but there not bad bad, only H*** words and D*** words.

16. Avatar the Last Air Bender




I Love Avatar the Last Air Bender!!!

Water, earth, fire, air.... long ago the for nations lived together in harmony, then everything changed when the fire nation attacked. Only the Avatar, the Master of all four elements, can stop them. When the world needed him most, he vanished. 100 years past, my brother and I discovered the new avatar, an air bender named Aang. All though Aang's air bending skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. I believe Aang can save the world! So, I think that Avatar the last airbender is really good, and they have a shows and books! I LOVE AVATAR!!





My Favorite characters: Aang, Katara, Sokka, Zuko.

Aang? he's really funny and he has great sense of humor.

Katara? she is a water bender and I love water benders.

Sokka? FUNNINESS! Sokka is a funny guy. although he is not a bender,  I love his boomerang.

Zuko? he is a fire bender, but I still like him because he joins Aangs team.

Happy reading! I hope you watch the show and read the books!
