Minecraft



Do you know what it is like to be stuck in a pixel world? In Minecraft, you are.

 This game has two levels: survival and creative. Also, the player can choose to play on easy, normal, or hard.  In survival mode there is a special surprise. The player starts out with no items. I would recommend first getting wood. At first the game might be boring. If you start on peaceful you can take your time doing anything you want. If you are on easy, normal, or hard you have to build your house quickly or try to survive the night! There are different kinds of ores, coal, iron, gold, diamond, and if you are on the computer there are emeralds.

In Minecraft there is no limit and there are no rules. On creative mode you have unlimited blocks, you can fly, and you cannot die.

One of my favorite parts is to catch animals. A good way to do that is to dig a three down as many wide as you want. In the update there are villages with villagers inside the houses. The villagers can also open doors. Also in the update there are enchanting tables. There are also quarts.
I like this game because it is full of adventure and there is no main story. An example of this is you can do anything you want. 

The one thing I don’t like is that you can only jump one block high.

 I would recommend this game to everybody that likes adventures. Over all I give this game five paws.

Minecraft!



Do you know what it’s like to be stranded in a pixel world? Well, in Minecraft, you are. 

To start out you have nothing but yourself. First you work to get stuff you need to survive, like wood.  You can build houses, tracks for mine carts, or traps for animals and do whatever you want. There are different ores you can find. They are coal, iron, gold, and diamonds. You can make pickaxes, axes, swords, shovels, and hoes. But at night you’re not alone...

Minecraft is my favorite video game because it’s the only game you can do whatever you want. My favorite part is to capture animals, to do this you have to make a big hole three blocks down and the animals will fall in the hole by themselves. I also love Minecraft because there are two different modes, creative and survival. Creative is when you get every block there is and you can fly. You get unlimited blocks too. But you never die. Survival is when you have nothing but yourself. 

Overall, I would give this game five paws.

Bella finds a home!



The puppy place series Bella

Have you ever had an abused dog? Well this family has!
In the book The puppy place the pound gets a phone call about an abused dog, then a worker walks into the pound with a dog in her arms. The dog is whimpering. The worker puts the dog in a big cage. Then she walks over to the front desk, and all the workers decide that they will name her Bella. Then the family that owns the pound decides that the youngest daughter will take care of Bella and try to find her an owner. But will the daughter find her an owner?

One reason I liked this book was because all of the chapters ended with a mystery. For example the end of chapter 9 says “will the family have enough people come to the car wash and meet Bella?” Another reason I liked this book was because the author made the story easy to picture in my mind. For example it said in chapter 10 that they were at the car wash in their driveway. People were driving up and parking in the grass, and on the road.

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves dogs. I would give this book five paws!

PIE


 


Pie

Aunt Polly has a pie shop. She makes the best pies in the city. Alice, her niece, feels that her aunt is the only one that appreciates her. Unfortunately, her aunt dies. In her will, she leaves Lardo, her cat, to Alice. The town goes crazy thinking the aunt left her pie recipe to a cat. Since everybody thinks Lardo has the recipe, somebody steels him. Will Alice ever get Lardo back? Will they ever find the secret pie crust recipe?

This is the best book I have ever read. I like this book because it draws you in. For example, when her aunt dies the reader wants to know why. Once you start reading it you cannot put the book down, especially when somebody steels Lardo, the cat.

If you are looking for a great book, I would recommend Pie. I give this book five paws.

The Penderwicks on Gardam Street



Have your parents ever dated? Well, four years after the Penderwicks mom died, the Penderwick’s dad started dating again. His daughters (Rosalind, Skye, Jane, and Batty) are trying to find the worst dates ever. It works, and he gets some pretty bad dates. Will he ever find love again?
I really liked this book. One reason is because it is exciting. An example of this is when the Penderwicks dad goes out on his first date and comes back yelling stuff in Latin. Another reason I like this book is because all the characters are different. For example, Jane is a writer and Skye is not. 
I like this book a lot and would recommend it to anyone. I would give this book five paws.
