Another Week 5 Book Review

The book I read was Shug by Jenny Han. I liked this book because it was sad but good. Ann Marie Wilcox was a main character in the story and her parents called her Shug. Things happen to Shug in junior high.For example, Mark and Ann Marie were best friends until things fall apart. The story kept you interested because one event happened after another. I would recommend this book to girls only.

Nutmeg Critics Book Review

Skulduggery Pleasant: Scepter of the Ancients by Derek Landy
Summary: When Stephanie's Uncle Gordan died he left his property and his royalties to Stephanie. Now it is up to Stephanie and Skulduggery Pleasant to protect the Scepter and the Book of Names from the Faceless Ones.
Review: Although I give this a 5 out of 5 rating, I still didn't read from 9:30 - 10:00 PM (Strange Days at Blake Holsey High is on.) Plus, I would suggest to the author for the next book he writes to have more vampires, and maybe one wolf pack. So, if you are a Harry Potter fan, then read this book!

This is a book about a princess named Addie and her sister, Meryl. When Meryl comes down with a horrible disease called the Gray Death, Addie has no choice but to go on a dangerous adventure to find the cure before it is too late….. Can Addie stand up to her fears and go on her dangerous adventure in time to help her sister?

This was a great book because it was very descriptive. It was descriptive when it said that the magic tablecloth gave tasty roasts to whoever knew the magic words.

Tuck Everlasting
by Natalie Babbitt

Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt is about 10 year-old Winifred Foster who is faced with the decision to live or to die, to escape the cycle of life or to be like everyone else. To be specific she could live forever if she wanted to. Wow! You could watch TV, read tons of books and see what is going to happen in the future. You would probably say “yes” right away but Winnie has another reason to say “yes”. The Tucks who told her how to live forever have a son named Jesse. Winnie falls in love with him. Should she live forever with him? I like this book because it makes you think. If you were faced with the decision to live forever or die eventually what would you choose?

Life Stategies for Teens, by Jay McGraw

Have you ever wished that for once life would go your way, you could break your bad habits, or that you were more independent? If you have wished any of these you may have gotten overwhelmed just thinking about it. In this how-to book Life Strategies for Teens by Jay McGraw, Jay took his father’s book Life Strategies and translated it so that you and I can understand the 10 Life Laws. The 10 Life Laws help you to shape your life the way you want it to be. You can’t change life but you can change the way you respond to the events in your life. In the book there are examples from Jay’s experience and other teen’s experience. I really liked reading this book. I hope you will enjoy it too.
