Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney

Title: Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Author: Jeff Kinney

Published By:

I liked this book because everyone is introduced in this book. There are TONS of funny parts and some parts are pretty disgusting. Greg is the main character in the book. Rowley is his embarrassing friend. Greg's brothers are Rodrick and Manny.

The part I didn't like was Rowley was getting all the fame! First, Rowley broke his arm and everyone felt sorry for him. Last, his comic Zoo-Wee Mama everyone loved. Even worse, he wasn't friends with Greg anymore (Long Story) but they made up.

My favorite character was Manny who was treated like a prince. He never got in trouble! He had a very embarrassing nickname for Greg: Bubby. When Manny put a Chocolate Chip Cookie in Greg's disc drive, he made a Spiky Tinfoil Ball in return.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid The Ugly Truth by Jeff Kinney

Title: Diary of a Wimpy Kid 5

Author: Jeff Kinney

Published By: Amulet Books, 2010

I liked this book because Greg has a not-so-good life and he wants to grow up, and gets in a LOT of misadventures! I like this part when Greg is sleepy and accidentally hits the Fire Alarm, and the school has to evacuate the building while the Firemen come, and find there is no fire, and go. The teachers get pretty mad.

There was no part of this book that I didn't like.

My favorite character was Greg's cousin Bengi. At first he could only say 2 things: No and Shut Up! Now he can READ CHAPTER BOOKS (But he still wasn't potty-trained)!

The Circuit by Francisco Jimenez

Title: The Circuit

Author: Francisco Jimenez

Published By: Houghton Mifflin Company 1997

I liked that in Miracle in Tent City, the family has a new baby, but it gets a rare disease and gets a miracle and survives! Also, I like stories that are real.

I did not like that the story had a sad start------------end. In the beginning they are very poor. In the end they have to go out of USA.

The Babies were kinda funny and silly. That's why I like them. Though, there were some sad parts too. The disease almost kills one.

The Throne of Fire by Rick Riordan

Title: The Throne of Fire

Author: Rick Riordan

Published By: Hyperion Books 2011

This is a great book because a HUGE battle between chaos and good happens in this book. Aphophis the Snake Of Darkness was free. And It continues to be VERY funny. They awaken Ra (But he is EXTREMELY Kooku) and have a victory over The Chaos Army.

I didn't not like anything about this story because it had a great start ---------- end. So this section shouldn't be here.

I liked one of Carter and Sadie's trainees named Felix. He LOVES penguins so much that 1/2 of the population of penguins were in a penguin puzzle trying to figure out how they had gotten into the fireplace (Don't worry, Felix covered the fireplace in snow and ice). He also sent a squad of penguins to attack the chaos army, they trampled 'em.

Home of the Brave by Katherine Applegate

Title: Home of the brave

Author: Kathernine Applegate

Published By: Feiwel and Friends, 2007

I liked when Kek (The Hero) accidentally put the dishes in the washing machine because it was VERY funny. I also liked when one boy, a girl, a man, and a cow were making a HUGE traffic jam... and the police escorted the people (And the Cow) to the petting zoo. Those were EXTREMELY funny parts.

I didn't like that the story had a bad start: Kek's dad and brother had died, his mom was nowhere to be found, and his cousin's left hand was off. But things started to get better as he met a good friend Hannah.

My favorite character was Hannah. She is a very nice girl who's mother was so mean to her, so she ran away to live with her stepmother. I like her because she is funny.

The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan

Title: The Red Pyramid

Author: Rick Riordan

Published By: Hyperion Books 2010

I liked this book because there were a lot of Egyptian Mythology + On the outside Sadie kept punching Carter (In these thingies)

The start was pretty boring though, but soon it started to get exciting at about the point in the Cleopatra's Needle, when their dad set loose 5 GODS (P.S.: It blew up the museum too) !

My favorite character was Carter. He is 14. His mom has died. He thinks his sister is dumb. His dad is trapped with the evil god Set! He's pretty funny. ! WARNING - SPOILER IF YOU HAVE NOT READ MORE THEN THIS POINT, DON'T READ ON !
He hosts the god Horus!
