Wonder, R.J. Palacio
I think wonder was a nice book with lots of different perspectives from different characters in the story. One thing I really loved was seeing August make new friends in the end. Overall, Wonder is a good book but you should go and watch the movie too!

Athena : grey-eyed goddess, George O’Connor
Olympians is a nice book, although it’s a bit violent at some stages in the books. I would recommend this for 10 years of age or older. I still love this book and still trying to hunt some down.

Wonder, R.J. Palacio
I thought it was a really well written book. I definitely liked the different perspectives of everyone and what they thought about the different situations. This book has a very good moral, that you should see everyone and treat everyone the same, no matter what they look like.

I really loved wonder. I feel so sorry for august. I think this was a true story made into a fiction one and if it is a true story the guy who was august must of had a really hard life. I pretty much cried when daisy died. I was seriously mad at jack for pretending to be Augusts friend. the only nice person in the world to him was summer, via his mum and his dad. If you pay lots of attention to a book like I do it could make you cry, want to punch someone in the face, feel so happy you could do a cartwheel or sadly it could nearly make you puke. when I read wonder I practically cried when reading how hard life is for August and felt and really, REALLY wanted to punch jack not just in the face but every little spot on his body. you think what I just said is intense but if you pour your heart and soul into reading the book properly you will feel what I felt. I feel that wonder is a really good book and R.J palacio is a really good writer and should make a wonder 2.
yours sincerely: Isabel the great. 🍌🍓🍑🍏🍉🍋🍍🍏🍈

Zeus : king of the gods, George O’Connor
I Thought it was good though I think the plot could be better. The drawings are good though. Would be a good book for kids ten and up.

The worst book ever, Elise Gravel
The worst book ever isn’t the worst book i’ve ever read but it isn’t the best either. The little creatures that were critiquing the story were by far the best part.

Hilo. Book 4, Waking the monsters, by Judd Winick
It is really fun. I liked hearing about Izzy a new addition to the group. I enjoyed hearing about the past of the supposed villian as well!! So I have to say it was a pretty neat book.

Hilo. Book 3, The great big boom, by Judd Winick
I thought it was good. I liked the return of Polly the magic cat and hearing about her background in the Furback clan. Hearing more about Hilo’s past is interesting and cool too. All in all it was a outstanding read!!

Hilo. Book 2, Saving the whole wide world, Judd Winick
I thought it was super fun. I particularly liked Molly, who is a magic cat from another dimension. I also thought the mutant vegies near the end were a nice touch.
