AUTHOR: Rachel Renee Russel

GENRE: Realistic Fiction

SUMMARY: Dork Diaries is a very popular series. This is the tenth book in the series. In the book Nikki Maxwell finds this box of puppies and the mom dog. The shelter has no room for the dogs. Brandon,Nikki,Chloe and Zoe are keeping the dogs at each of their houses. All their parents say yes except Nikki’s Parents. They just got new floors carpet and furniture. So Nikki has no choice but to hide the dogs from her family. While Her parents are out of the house she tells Brianna. But I won’t spoil what  happens with her. At the same time guess who reappears that’s right Mackenzie Hollister.

ADDITIONAL INFO: This is the last book in the series. After this series the author will be writing a new series called The Adventures of Max Crumbly. He is introduced in the book so keep an eye out. And a behind the scenes look…  I spoke to the author and there will be a DD movie in 2017.

RECOMMENDATION: I give this book a 5 star rating because it has so much adventure,drama and crazy events. If you are already a DD fan and have read 1-9 read this book. If you have never read Dork Diaries read the other books in the series first. Don’t worry about the half books.

My Name is America: World War II Solider, Normandy France, 1944. The Journal of Scott Pendleton Collins

Posted on by

Author: Scott Pendleton Collins

Genre: Narrative Non-Fiction

This journal describes how soldiers in France survived. In this journal a man wrote (breaking the rules) how his life was in France. He raided the Normandy beach of Omaha and survived the bloody beach and the horror.

Some towns you will hear, you will not know how to pronounce and hard to read. Try your best to make connections if you have family who served in WWII. In the back there are pictures in black and white because of the cameras back in the old day.

My rating for this book is high because I like history book more than any thing. If you like reading peoples journals you will like this one.

No Passengers Beyond this Point

No Passengers Beyond This Point

Author: Gennifer Chodenenko

Genre: Fiction

This book was one of the best I have ever read. It has many surprising twists and turns, it was very well written, and it had a completely unexpected ending. This novel is mostly about three children and their mother, and when they run out of money and lose their home, they decide to move to Colorado to live with their uncle Red. Their mother has to get study to acquire some papers so she can teach in Colorado, so  she sends the children on a flight by themselves. Towards the end of the flight, the plane enters serious turbulence and lands in a place called Falling Bird, where, apparently, everyone knows and loves them.  But as soon as they settle in, things quickly spin out of control, and the children are in a terrifying place. This book was very well written and full of action, so I would rate it 4.5 stars.

Jessie lived with his mom and his sister in New Orleans. When Jessie got kidnapped he was really confused .

On the ship that he got kidnapped on was full of dancing slaves .  Jessie was token all the way to Africa.  I really

don’t think Jessie enjoyed being kidnapped. When Jessie came back home was my favorite part of the story

The Grimm Conclusion ( grimm series #3 )

The Grimm Conclusion (Grimm Series #3)

Author: Adam Gidwitz

Genre: Fiction, humorous

This novel (being the third in this series), includes Cinderella’s sisters getting their eyes pecked out by birds, Rumpelstiltskin rips himself in half, a tale called “The mouse, the bird, and the sausage” (yes, a sausage), and two children running from ogres, demons and monsters, and eventually find their way home (and they each die once or twice). This book is hilariously narrated by who I believe is Adam Gidwitz himself.

Overall, I would rate this book five out of five stars, as it is extremely funny and very well written to go along with that. I would highly recommend this book, as it is one of my personal favorites.
