Star Wars Tales
December 11, 2009 — falconmedia
This book is awesome with lots of action. It’s about different Star Wars characters and what they run into. My favorite part is when they make the laser for the Death Star. It’s a book worth reading if you want some excitement. [Tx]

This book is about Coraline, a little girl who just moved to a big house with many neighbors. When Coraline first arrives, she thinks the place lacks adventure.

Everyone is the same, except people don’t have eyes anymore — they have big, black button eyes. They also have no will of their own. Now there is a problem, the other mother has captured Coraline’s parents, and won’t give them back. She also finds the souls of three children. Can Coraline — along with the talking black cat — save her parents and the three children’s souls?

Beowulf
February 9, 2009 — falconmedia
This was an excellent book. It has the kind of storyline that people pass down from generation to generation. It has extravagant artwork in it. It’s got a lot of action in it, especially since it’s such a small book. When it comes to action, you’re gonna want to check it out.
Beowulf is about the greatest hero of the Geats, going on adventures and slaughtering beasts. When he comes upon a land that is terrorized by a giant beast, he decides to take on the beast bare-handed. Read the rest of this entry »

Then the robot malfunctions and is at the beach for the whole year. Then the dog forgets about it. After that, the dog buys another robot. Remembering about the robot now, he regrets leaving the robot at the beach. I liked this book because it had a twist of humor and sadness.

Kristy’s Great Idea
November 7, 2008 — falconmedia
A girl named Kristy starts a club that babysits, and she starts off with her friends Mary Anne and Claudia. But Claudia introduces a new friend, Stacey, into the club. So far so good, or at least okay. There were prank calls, real calls, people who wanted them to take care of pets (which is rare), and their parents calling them for something. Each character goes through their own babysitting problems, which helped them become better and stronger babysitters and friends.

Nightwing: Year One
November 4, 2008 — falconmedia
What would happen if Batman and Robin split up? When the Boy Wonder grows up he strikes out on his own. How Robin creates a new identity is a cool story, but I found the ending a bit jumbled and disappointing. Great action sequences if you love superheroes.
