This i san amazing book unknown by most people. I had never known of this book before it was assigned as a mandatory reading book. It is a shocking story of a small teen being forced to leave home to marry. When her husband dies of tuberculosis, her step mom (aka Sass in the book) (she is very sassy) isn’t very nice to her. She thinks of running away, but to where? Her parents would be shamed if she came back. This book gets 5 stars for superb content.
Wow, this is one creepy movie. Well, its Tim Burton, so thats kinda normal for him. Its about a boy, Jacob. Whose grandpa used to tell him stories about Miss Peregrine and her peculiar children. When his grandpa was brutally murdered, by things not human. He goes to a place described and mentioned in his stories. Where he finds Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children. Meets all of his friends from 1943. This movie gets 4 stars, because it seems like a children’s movie, but its not. I want to read the book though!
Ok, I just finished this book. This is my new favorite book, I love it. It is about a boy in the future, where people use a virtual reality software named Oasis to escape the harsh reality. When the creator dies, he makes an easter egg and whoever finds it, wins his entire fortune, billions of dollars. Now this is a lot of money, so people are willing to kill for it. Now I am going to make this one short because I don’t want to spoil anything. But anyway I give this book a 20/10 but since that doesn’t exist it has 5 stars.
Has anyone ever told you that you the worst cook? Well, they were most likely over exaggerating. But if anyone ever tells you that again, tell them to watch Worst Cooks in America. Then they will definitely appreciate you cooking more. Now, back to the review. This show is about 2 famous chefs that teach extremely bad cooks how to cook. They go through 8 weeks of culinary boot camp. If you are in a bad mood you should watch this because its whimsical, and enjoyable. I give this show 4 stars because I think every season it can get a little dull at times, but then they start again.
Here’s a famous cover, The Giver. I was recently assigned to read this for school and just finished it. It was great! I’ve been a fan of the movie for years now, but the book is great too! Now, ultimately I prefer the movie, its more my style, intense. The book is AMAZING though. Five star worthy. The book is about a boy named Jonas, he lives in a “utopia” Notice the quotation marks, there important. So in this “utopia” there are pros and cons, like just about everywhere. For example here are some pros: theres no crime, no discrimination and no one is poor. Some cons are: no animals, no feelings, no freedom of choice, and no color. Yes, no color. Thats why I put utopia in quotation marks, because in reality its a dystopia, or a utopia gone wrong. Jonas becomes a receiver of memory which means that he recieves all of the memories of times like ours, war, poverty, and much more. As I mentioned before this book deserves five stars.
Hey everyone! If theres anyone left… its been an extremely long time since we have posted. Well, as you know we were fifth graders. So we had summer vacation. We wanted a bit of a break, and not to mention our schedules were FULL! We just moved to new schools, and have a lot of homework so we wanted to get adjusted before we started again. I don’t know about my fellow writer but I’ll try to post as often as I finish a book, movie, or TV show.
Sincerely, Writer1 ♥
“It’s the oddest/sweetest mix of Little House on the Prairie and X-Men. I was smiling the whole time (except for the part where I cried) … Prepare to have your heart warmed”
– Stephenie Meyer, Author, The Twilight Saga
I definitely agree with Stephenie Meyer’s quote.
The Girl Who Could Fly is about a farm girl named Piper McCloud who has always been able to fly. Piper comes from a normal family who will not tolerate her ability. When things get out of hand, her parents send her to Dr. Letitia Hellion’s boarding school, called I.N.S.A.N.E. (Institute of Normalcy, Stability, And NonExceptionality) where she meets others like herself. However, when the “safe” facility of I.N.S.A.N.E proves to be dangerous, Piper and her new friends team up to save themselves and innocent plants and animals. This exciting novel is a page-turner!
The Girl Who Could Fly is an unforgettable book. First of all, it is inspiring. 💡 One of the morals of the story is that being different is OK. Victoria Forester, the author, is trying to tell us that if we are born with a gift, we should learn to use it well. She does this by profiling eleven kids with abnormal talents – from telekinesis to X-ray vision – and teaching the readers that if you have a special talent, you should accept it, embrace it, hone it, and use it for good.
Second, it is a plain, good story. Well, plain is not the word I would use, because it is really creative and has some great plot twists.
Third, is that once you get into the good part of the book, it will make you want to predict what comes next. I found myself doing this at least once or twice every chapter!
The only negative is that when the author switches to the point of view of another character or is using a scene transition, it is sometimes unclear.
I recommend The Girl Who Could Fly to students ages 9+ and give it a four star rating. I’ve already started the sequel named The Boy Who Knew Everything. Stay tuned…

In short, they were black.”
Have you ever liked going to the dentist? If that’s a no, this amusing 430 page book tells of a little boy who “was the king of really really hating to go to the dentist”, his dad, his non-girlfriend, and a demon dentist. This story is jam-packed with sugary candy, acidic toothpaste, creepy crawlies under pillows, and laughing gas. What!? It’s “a horror story with quite a lot of made up words”.
#1 International Best-Selling author Daniel Walliams has been called the new Roald Dahl, and in this book, you’ll see why.
In the beginning of this review, I said that this was a 430 page book. If you are a light reader, that may be a red flag. Well, April Fools! 😀 It does have 430 pages, but the words are in a big font, so there’s not much to read on a page. Oh, and did I not mention that there are illustrations too? Demon Dentist is not a challenging book to read, but it provokes emotions. There are humorous and gloomy parts too.
Demon Dentist gets a three star rating.
Have you ever heard of Hamilton The American Musical? It’s the hardest Broadway musical to get tickets to, the most revolutionary (I’ll explain that part later! 😛 ) musical of all time, and has the best songs ever!
Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote and stars in this musical about our youngest founding father. It is also about the American Revolution (see, revolutionary) from Alexander Hamilton’s point of view. Hamilton is not just any musical, it has a hip-hop, rap, pop, and Broadway styled soundtrack.
I was lucky enough to see the show on Broadway and am completely obsessed with Hamilton. Once you listen to the soundtrack, you will be too! The wonderful and incredibly talented cast makes videos called Ham4Ham that are hilarious. Some of the videos feature an actor(s) in the show who sing someone else’s songs or does their impression. They are really fun to watch. If you scroll down to the bottom of this review, I have included my favorite Ham4Ham video.
I love that the cast cares about the show so much, and that they find time to make these videos. It demonstrates their passion for the musical and that they are real people like you and me.
The Ham4Ham videos get a five star rating.
Since My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 came out today, I decided to write a review about the original film. My Big Fat Greek Wedding, the highest grossing Rom-Com of all time, is about a woman trying to get married to a non-Greek man and how her huge Greek family intervenes.
Nina Vardalos is the writer and actress who plays Toula in this classic film. The movie is hilarious. It is full of annoying family members, Windex, and caricatures of Greek guys. What more could you ask for? XD
This movie is hysterical! It is packed with things that you didn’t see coming, stereotypical gigantic Greek families, and much more. I would recommend this book to anyone in fifth grade and up (with the exception of one scene where I closed my eyes).
My Big Fat Greek Wedding gets a five star rating.
