'Scarlett' by Cathy Cassidy'

'Scarlett' by Cathy Cassidy


Scarlett's in trouble at school. Again. With black fingernails and dyed ketchup-red hair, she's not your average twelve-year-old Londoner. So her mum—sick of trying to get her into another school—ships Scarlett to her father's cottage in Ireland. Having to learn Gaelic in a one-room schoolhouse and enduring a new stepmum and younger stepsister is just too much. Scarlett wants to leave—until she meets Kian. He seems too good to be true with his dark, rugged looks, kind nature, and horse named Midnight. As Kian helps Scarlett let go of her anger, she begins to accept her family, her friendships, and most of all, her dreams. A captivating new novel from a writer reviewers have called "a British import with a refreshingly light touch." —School Library Journal on Indigo Blue.

 

     I discovered this book by being rushed by my language arts teacher. She said if we didn't have a book she would pick it out for us. So I hurried up and snatched this book. Maaaaaaan i'll tell you it was the luckiest pick ever!!!!! I LOVE this book so much. Once again I found my self laughing during class at some parts and sad at others. Scarlett was a bad student and never respects her mum, She got sent away to 5 different schools in one year! Another reason I really loved this book is because Scarlett has a huge change in her life that makes her better as a student and a daughter. Also it shows that people can change even if people think you never can because it would be such a huge and to difficult change. Everyone should read this book! :)

 peeps 12 and up should read this book!

'Hunger Games' by Suzanne Collins

     "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins

  Could you survive on your own, in the wild, with everyone out to make sure you don't live to see the morning?

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.

Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister’s place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before—and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender.

If she is to win, she will have to start making choices that will weigh survival against humanity and life against love.



     'The Hunger Games' is no lie one my favorite books! I loved it sooo so so much that I have read it like three million trillion times!:) 'The Hunger Games' is a book that will make you jump right out of your seat during class. This book is exciting and thrilling with every page you read!!!! You guys should read 'The Hunger Games' because it's very well written, it has fantastic details and amazing action scenes! Suzanne Collins has made a book series of 'The Hunger Games'. The second book is 'Catching Fire' and the third is 'Mocking Jay'. Every single one of these book are just as exciting as the first!!!!!!!


         The author has this book for teenagers, but I think this book is made for girls and boys ages 10 and up.

The KLUTZ book of inventions


     Wazzup everyone! I said I was going to do a review on dead city. I still am but I read a couple books inbetween.  one of the books I read was...."The KLUTZ book of brilliant ridiculous inventions". by John Cassidy and Brendan Boyle.







This book is awesome and fun! Although its not a book with chapters and all that fancy stuff. The klutz book is more of a  just to read kinda book! It  has crazy and funny inventions! :D The Invention I like the most was on page 71, the multi-seat family model. It is a toilet with multiple seats for the whole family to have their own!!! Its ridiculous and brilliant at the same time! I think everyone would enjoy this book, boys and girls!

The Klutz book age group is for everyone! Even for aliens :)

My review of 'The Smell Of Old Lady Perfume' By Claudia Guadalupe Martinez

     Hey!  Whats up! Glad you found your way here! Hope you enjoy my review!

        Claudia Guadalupe Martinez’s debut novel for young adults is a bittersweet story about death, family, and the resilient emotional strength of the human heart. Chela Gonzalez, the book’s narrator, is a nerd and a soccer player who can barely contain her excitement about starting the sixth grade. But nothing is as she imagined—her best friend turns on her to join the popular girls and they all act like Chela doesn’t exist. She buries herself in schoolwork and in the warm comfort of her family. To Chela, her family is like a solar system, with her father the sun and her mother, brothers, and sister like planets rotating all around him. It’s a small world, but it’s the only one she fits in.

But that universe is threatened when her strong father has a stroke. Chela’s grandmother moves in to help the family. The smell of her old lady perfume invades the house. That smell is worse than Sundays. Sundays were sad, but they went just as sure as they came. Death was a whole other thing, and Chela doesn’t understand that’s what everyone is waiting for. In her grief and worry, Chela begins to discover herself and find her own strength.

 Authors age group 10 and up
My age group 10 to 10000000000

     To start off I think this book was fantastical! 'The Smell Of Old Lady Perfume' was a sad book as well as happy.  Most of it was sad but the author Claudia Guadalupe Martinez used her special writing powers and put something happy in a few chapters. This book has some Spanish words and songs throughout the book, but repeats the same thing in English over again so any non Spanish speakers will understand the story. The author gave great details that you can actually picture in your mind and see without any confusion. Chela has a kind heart and is very strong when it comes to tragic things. Chela's friend Nora had left her to be in the popular group and ended up in the end coming to help Chela out. Chela wasn't lonely forever she finally was known for who she is and without trying to be different to fit in the popular group. In the end Chela is care free  and happy at school.
