Charlie Joe Jackson’s Guide to Not Reading

falconmedia — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 13:01:50 +0000

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]

Nigel 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

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]

This Book Is Not Good for You

The 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

Nikki 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]

Dorkness continues in Dork Diaries 2! Nikki is invited to four parties, and one mean girl may ruin it all! Will Nikki save or ruin her name? If you loved the first book, you will love the second.

Spud

falconmedia — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 14:50:02 +0000

This 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

falconmedia — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 08:55:05 +0000

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]
