Meanwhile

falconmedia — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 12:57:01 +0000

In this book you have to make a simple choice – chocolate or vanilla. By the way, choosing one could lead to the end of the world. This was a really fun book to read, but it was confusing because you have so many choices to make. I got lost a lot. Most people would probably like this book, but you have to get the hang of it first. [TT TT]

Stickman Odyssey

falconmedia — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 14:46:03 +0000

A man goes on a journey to fight evil, and then goes back home after the end. My favorite character is Zozimos, and my favorite scene was where he was scared of something. The weakest part of the book is where he was supposed to fight a soldier instead of getting scared of him. The surprising part was where he fought a large soldier. [lightning 451]

Mouse Guard: Winter 1152

falconmedia — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 15:44:09 +0000

Kenzie, Saxon, Liam, Sadie, and the Black Axe are sent out to get supplies for winter because all were lost during the battle in Fall 1152. They face many problems such as the owl, snow and ice, separation, and Darkheather. Liam and the Black Axe are separated from the others when Kenzie, Saxon, and Sadie fall into a weasel hole hidden by snow. They are trusted to bring medicine back to Lockhaven, while Kenzie and the others have to pass through Darkheather, the weasel kingdom …

My favorite part is when one of the mice die. He is remembered by all who knew him. Also one of my favorite parts is when Saxon passes through Darkheather, he sees the dead mice who died in the war against the weasels. This book was wonderful and I hope you like it too. Book 2 of the Mouse Guard series. [Kenzie]

Mouse Guard: Fall 1152

falconmedia — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 13:18:32 +0000

Kenzie, Saxon,and Liam are on their way to Barkstone when they run into a cart of grain. They search for the merchant who was the owner of this cart and find that he was killed by a snake – and also discover that he was a traitor because they found a stolen map of Lockhaven in his grain. They continue their journey in search of the mouse that betrayed the guard …

My favorite character is Saxon because he’s always ready for action and his ideas are funny. Also his personality is the opposite of Kenzie’s, but they are best friends. Like all books, one of the best parts is when the bad guy is defeated, and in this book there’s more than one bad guy. Personally, my favorite part is when Liam defeats the snake. This book is very funny and enjoyable, so I hope you will read it and enjoy it as much as I did. Book 1 of the Mouse Guard series. [Kenzie]

Zits Supersized

falconmedia — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 18:06:32 +0000

Fifteen-year-old Jeremy Duncan goes through anything but a normal life. His life is filled with evil teachers, digging ditches, and embarrassing parents. This book kept me cracking up to the very end. It was hysterical! When I was done reading it, I still couldn’t put it down. If you are looking for a good laugh, I guarantee that you will find more than a few in this book. [park avenue]

High School Debut 1

falconmedia — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 11:00:17 +0000

This story is about a girl trying to find love. She comes to school one day and notices that not a single boy notices her. So she starts to think about what’s wrong and what she could do to change. She notices this boy that looks like a popular guy who knows a lot of other boys. So she goes up to him to ask him if he could be her coach. He looks at her and says no way, he can’t stand girls. Plus lots of people would come to her and say he makes girls cry.

My favorite character is Haruna. She’s sporty and girly at the same time. She dresses pretty and wears pretty shoes to match. At the same time she plays sports. She plays baseball and enjoys it a lot. She also sets out her free time to look at magazines so she can know more about boys and what she needs to do to improve. [Unicorn123]

Spirited Away

falconmedia — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:21:53 +0000

Chihiro Ogino’s parents are turned into pigs. She is a ten-year-old girl. At night all sorts of spirits come into the mysterious town to get to a bath house. I liked this book because I like graphic novels in general. People who like graphic novels or books based on movies would like this book too. My favorite scene is when Yubaba’s baby, Boh, has a little temper tantrum. My favorite characters are Kamaji and the Susuwatari (the Soof Stokers). Kamaiji has six stretchy arms and the Susuwatari are little soof balls that help Kamaji. [raccoonman]

Flight Explorer

falconmedia — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 14:42:54 +0000

This comic book has a whole bunch of short stories (in comic form) including sci-fi, fantasy, and some just plain weird. There is a comic about mushrooms, a “perfect” cat, and much more. My favorite comic was probably the first one because it has a very surprising ending. I also liked the comic involving this guy who got stuck in traffic on the way home from work, so he used an alterate “route.” It was a good mix of action, funny, and weird comics. [ππ]

Brain Camp

falconmedia — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 12:00:03 +0000

Two kids named Jenna and Lucas are sent to a summer camp called Camp Fielding. Everything is fine at camp until Jenna and Lucas find out the camp’s big secret. My favorite scene is when Jenna and Lucas find the cure for the campers. Even though they had the diease they still found the cure. [TinkerTime11]

Daniel X, Alien Hunter

falconmedia — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 13:25:23 +0000

No last name. Just Daniel X. A three-year-old boy named Daniel has his parents murdered by an alien called the Prayer. Daniel’s job is to guard the list. The list contains information about alien outlaws roaming the earth. Daniel has amazing powers. He is able to create a molecular substances. What alien will Daniel X fight next?

My favorite character is Daniel X because of his amazing powers, his kind heart, and his funny personality. He really is amazing! [KittenGirl]

Kitchen Princess

falconmedia — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 14:51:54 +0000

A girl named Madison wanted to become a model when she grew up. She developed an eating disorder that stopped her from becoming a model. My favorite part was when she would eat her grandmother’s apple pie. The boy that the girls fought over was my favorite character. This book made me laugh when Madison threw the pie on another girl. I think middle school girls would like to read this one. [Apple]

Revenge of the Baby-Sat

falconmedia — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 15:50:27 +0000

This book has a series of comics with two main characters. Calvin and Hobbes go through a lot of crazy times. This book is really funny and creative because Calvin is really mischievous and a little silly. The tiger, Hobbes, is always talking him out of his crazy schemes. [yw]

When Coraline moves to a new house she notices some strange things, but her parents don’t believe her. She finds a mysterious passage to another world where her “other mother” lives. She becomes trapped in the other mother’s lair forever. How will she find her way out?

The DC Comics Encyclopedia

falconmedia — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 13:47:01 +0000

This book is about all of the DC superheroes and villains. It shows all the best superheroes with three or two pages, like Batman, Robin, Cat, the Joker, Superman, Super Boy, Super Girl, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and Flash.

The graphics, the words, and the whole thing, the superheroes and villains, were good. The most traumatizing part was when Batman’s partner Robin left Batman. Then the second Robin died because the Joker tried to kill Batman, and Robin jumped in front of him to save him. The third Robin is still with Batman, but is also the leader of Young Justice. [fd]

The Odyssey

falconmedia — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 12:08:59 +0000

This is a graphic novel version of the Odyssey. Odyesseus, a Greek hero, runs into a lot of trouble coming home from the Trojan War, including cyclopses, tidal waves, and evil nymphs. He also has problems when he returns home after many years of being away.

I thought this book was good. The illustrations were really lifelike and detailed. I especially liked how the author outlined the gods in color. You could tell who was a god in disguise because of this outlining. I haven’t read the real version, so I can’t say how accurate it is, but it was a great read. [pinkfairy123]

The Truth about Stacey

falconmedia — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 09:00:46 +0000

Poor Stacey, who moved to a new town because she was still coming to terms with her diabetes. She’s facing babysitting issues left and right. And her parents are no help. Luckily Stacey’s true friends, Kristy, Mary-Anne and Claudia, help her with her situations, and they also overcome the problem. Book 2 of the graphic novel versions of The Babysitters Club.

This book is very good to read because it teaches a lesson, kinda like a moral/theme. I thought it was good for all readers that probably have diabetes. I don’t have any dislikes about it. [GIRLY GURL]

Invincible: Family Matters

falconmedia — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 12:01:18 +0000

There’s this kid named Mark who has superpowers that came from his dad. The thing that he didn’t know was his dad came from another planet, but his mom is from Earth. I really liked this book because it shows flashbacks and stuff you would see in movies, like Spiderman, and the characters are very well fit. Also, the comedy is great! The only thing I didn’t like was there was one scene that skipped like a day later. So at the most I will give it a 9 out of 10. [J_FlyHy_619]

Dog Days

falconmedia — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 10:00:43 +0000

A kid named Greg has to deal with the tough life of middle school along with his own personal problems. Like the time when he and his friend Rowley tried to start a lawn care service, but neither of them actually knew how to run a lawn mower. Or when he said he was more of an indoor person and preferred to play video games on a beautiful summer day.

I liked how there was always some type of comedic element in it. I didn’t like how the main character only cared about himself and no one else. [regular show rules]
