This story is about a guy named Charlie Joe Jackson who comes up with funny and insightful tips on getting out of reading. For example, read books with short chapters. Another example, only read books with authors whose name you can pronounce. I really liked this book because I could easily relate to the topic. I don’t like reading, so this book is now one of my favorites. People who hate to read will enjoy this book as well. [fives55555]

January 30, 2012 — falconmediaNigel is a vampire celebrating his 100th birthday. He has fallen in love with a human at school named Chloe. He does everything to make her fall in love with him. My favorite character is Nigel because he works really hard to make Chloe like him. Also, Nigel is trying to figure out who keeps killing all the people and then blaming his parents. [Pink Elephant]
Flight Explorer
January 27, 2012 — falconmediaThis 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]
This Book Is Not Good for You
January 13, 2012 — falconmediaThe Midnight Sun is at it again. This time they’re in a cacao plantation. But where is it? It’s in a zoo. Why a cacao plantation, you may ask? Well, the villain, Señor Hugo, is trying to make a chocolate so rich it will send Cass back to the past to get the secret from her great ancestor, the jester.
I really liked this book, just like all of the others in the Secret series. The plot twists and turns. All of the footnotes add compelling details. Even better the appendix, it shows you even more that the book can’t explain within the plot, such as Max-Ernest’s 100 languages to say hello. Overall, I loved this book. [That Girl]
Dork Diaries 1: Tales from a Not-so-fabulous Life
January 10, 2012 — falconmediaNikki Maxwell spills her treacherous life in this interesting book. From mean girls out to get her, to cute boy crushes, how could her life get any worse? I really loved this book! It is my favorite because it’s so humorous and funny. My favorite part was when she saw her mom’s Juliet costume and totally freaked out! Also read Dork Diaries 2: Tales from a Not-so-popular Party Girl. [I Luv Queen]

Spud
December 16, 2011 — falconmediaThis is a coming of age story featuring the witty hero John “Spud” Milton. He’s attending an elite private school in South Africa, around the same time that Nelson Mandela is released from prison. It’s chaos, alright, and Spud can’t be more than happy to leave it all behind. However, instead of leaving the chaos, Spud seems to jump right in the middle of it!
This book is filled with all kinds of humor, and I guarantee it will make you laugh. You will probably get weird looks from your parents for laughing. [Wild Pancake]
The Name of This Book Is Secret
December 16, 2011 — falconmedia
See if you’re good enough to read the secret of this hilarious book. Three different characters – all kinds of situations – with no clue what will happen next. Experience a different emotion around every corner! This book is very funny. It has a lot of pictures and is a good-size book to read. I liked Chapter 1 because it’s all X’s and doesn’t give you a clue about who the characters are. [UnicornPlanet]
Middle School Is Worse Than Meatloaf
December 6, 2011 — falconmedia
Ginny has to face going into middle school. She has a big to-do list to get to before she is in eighth grade. I personally don’t find the book very funny. I mean there were a couple funny parts, but I wouldn’t base the whole genre about humor – but this is just my opinion. [yw7]

Science Fair
November 29, 2011 — falconmediaThese kids are trying to win the school science fair, but the rich kids always win because they cheat. The kids try to bust them and end up getting caught in a terrorist plot to destroy America. This book is awesome!! There’s a lot of action and some suspense, but it’s mostly funny. Some scenes were so funny I almost fell off my chair I was laughing so hard. My favorite character was probably the robot owl.

Out of My Mind
October 5, 2011 — falconmediaMelody is almost 11 years old and has never spoken a single word because she has Cerebral Palsy. So nobody knows anything that’s in her head until she gets a special computer to help her talk. Melody makes a quiz team, and now she gets to show what she knows. She was about to go to Washington DC, but misses her plane – but her friends help her feel better.
I LOVED this book. I loved how Melody was able to solve problems. I also loved her personality (strong). This book is very strong and promotes a good message. Don’t give up on your dreams! [kittengirl]
Dog Days
September 16, 2011 — falconmedia
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]
Melvin Beederman Superhero: The Curse of the Bologna Sandwich
June 2, 2011 — falconmediaMelvin is a superhero. He was sent by his boss to Los Angeles, California to fight the villains and save the city. He meets a girl named Candace who is also a superhero. They both try to stop the McNasty brothers.
This is a fun and interesting book. One of the reasons why I liked the book is because there is a lot of adventure. I was impressed how Melvin fought all of the bad guys. [Tega ]
Bone: Tall Tales
March 29, 2011 — falconmediaSmiley Bone tells some scouts, while they are camping in the woods, a bunch of stories about their culture and who founded their town, Boneville. I thought it was a really funny, cool, and exciting book. It’s part of the Bone series which I love too. If you want to know what happens in the stories, read it! [Finn the Human]
Rabbi Harvey vs. the Wisdom Kid
March 2, 2011 — falconmediaPeople ask questions to a guy and he answers their questions. So one day another guy comes to town just like him, but the people think he is better. Personally, this is a good book for me. It would be good for all ages, especially for people who like comics. It made me laugh because of the way the characters respond and react to one another. [cookie monster]
Half Minute Horrors
February 23, 2011 — falconmediaThis is a book of stories written by one of the scariest authors, and it was amazing. As you read, you have to figure out the stories to get scared. In one story, I got very scared when a woman was seeing ghosts and there was another black-haired, black-eyed woman staring at them with a black dress. This book is a hit in my opinion! I hope other people will love it too. [wafflemaker]

Fone finds a girl named Thorn who takes Fone back to her house to help him.

I think anyone of any age would like this book! I really liked how the author put this graphic novel together. So I recommend for anyone to read this exciting book!! [Finn the Human]
