Gotta Love Bandit!


This book Bandit is about a family that finds a dog on the streets that is really hurt on its right back leg. After they find the dog, they take him to the vet. The vet said that he needed surgery. When they got home they named him bandit because it looks like it as a bandit around its eyes. That night the vet called and said that the surgery would cost more than the family had. The next day they took bandit to the vet so that they could talk about the surgery. The vet ran some test on Bandit. Then she told that from the test Bandit also needed heart surgery and that would cost a lot more than the family had. Then when Uncle Henry finds out he tells them that he might have a couple of ways that they could raise the money like a car wash. But it did not go that well. So will the family be able to raise the money for the surgery?

This book is one of my favorite books. This book is not like any other dog book you have read because the author does a good job telling you about a character when he or she comes into the book. For example when Uncle in Hennery comes into the book it tells you that he is a truck driver and loves to have a dog with him when he is traveling. Another reason I like this book is because it is a little sad. For example when the vet says that bandit could die in this surgery. I like this book Bandit and those were the reasons!



I would recommend this book to you because if you like dogs and dog books then you will love this book! I give this 5 paws!!

Into the Wild



Warriors is a series of action and adventure books, so get ready for the impact of this epic book series!
For generations, four clans of wild cats have shared the forest according to the laws laid down by their warrior ancestors. But the Thunderclan cats are in grave danger, and the sinister shadow clan grows stronger every day. Noble warriors are dying—and some are more mysterious than others. In the midst of this turmoil appears an ordinary house cat named Rusty, who might turn out to be the bravest warrior of all.

I liked this book because of all the action and adventure throughout the entire story. It really supported the plot. My favorite part was when Rusty (the house cat) was accepted into the Thunderclan, and proved himself by fighting a fierce warrior named darkstripe.

If you like action and adventure, I think this is the book for you. I would give this book five paws.

A Book Full of Secrets



Last year, I read a book called The Name of This Book Is Secret by Pseudonymous Bosch. This is the first book in the series, called The Secret series.
In the book they have two main characters, Cass and Max-Ernest. They join a society called The Terces Society, and are given a mission to save their friend Benjamin from Solar-Zero (A.K.A Midnight Sun). Will they find him in time, or will Benjamin suffer his brain being removed?
I would recommend this book to everyone. It had a lot of adventure. For example, Cass and Max-Ernest break into various different places. It’s a great read!

Overall, I think this book deserves 5 paws. The only problem with the book is that you never figure out who actually wrote it.

Alex Rider: Stormbreaker



Last week I finished a book called Stormbreaker, written by Anthony Horowitz.

 Stormbreaker is full of adventure, action, and is fast-paced. It is about how a normal teenager boy’s life is turned into a spy adventure against pure evil. Alex Rider’s uncle, Ian Rider, dies in a so-called “car accident”. Later on, Alex goes to the auto junkyard where his uncle’s car is about to be disposed. Alex finds the car riddled with bullets through the windshield and blood in the seats. Will he ever find out what happened to his uncle? 

I loved this book because it always has action each page you go on and adventure is always there. For example, when Alex found himself ambushed by two armed people in quad bikes, he leads them and tricks one of them into crashing into an electric fence and the other falls of the face of a cliff. I also loved this book because of the plot about how Alex figuring out who was the murder of his uncle, Ian Rider.

If you’re an action and adventure lover I would recommend this book. If I were to rate this book I would rate this book five paws.

Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief


Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a son of a god?

I would recommend the book Percy Jackson the Lightning Thief. The cover really attracts you to it, and if you like Greek mythology this is a book for you.

It starts when Zeus’s master bolt goes missing and he blames Poseidon. Percy, Poseidon’s son, tries to help him get it back from the mysterious thief and stop the next war between the gods. Will he be able to get it back in time?

I like this book because of the Greek mythology characters. For example, the Minotaur, the creature Percy fights in the beginning of the book, is a half man half bull, and Grover, Percy’s best friend, is a satyr. (A satyr is a half boy half goat). It makes the book a lot more interesting.

Another reason why I like this book is because it is really emotional. For example, I got angry when Percy’s friend betrayed him.

I would recommend this book not only for children but for adults too. I would give this book five paws.

Petroglyphs with Pizzazz!





This is a petroglyph, which was Ancient art that Native Americans made in Kentucky during the paleolithic period. Most petroglyphs were made by picking, scraping, or carving part of a rock's surface, but we used plaster disks and paint and then we carved symbols into it before the plaster dried completely.

Thanks Mrs. Smith for teaching us about Native American Art!
