Crazy Messy Beautiful

April12

I really enjoyed the book Crazy Messy Beautiful by Carrie Arcos. I believe I would rate it 4.5 out of 5 stars. It’s a love story that also includes some family and high school drama. The main character, Neruda Diaz, was named after the famous love poet Pablo Neruda. But in this case, Neruda Diaz is not having any luck in the love department. He has an amazing talent for art and he uses that talent to express his emotions. As this story is told from Neruda’s perspective, the author really expresses his emotions and busts some stereotypes. Most love stories are told from a girl’s point of view and the girl seems to think that boys are never emotionally hurt. In this book, that assumption was very much exposed. I found it very interesting to read a novel from a male point of view since most romance books are not. At the same time, I did not rate this book the full five stars because in the end of the book, the author kind of left me hanging a little bit. I wish there was a second book or even a epilogue to display the aftermath. Though, I also think that the author ended the book on a good note which I really like because personally I do not like finishing a book and feeling sad. Overall, I found this book very funny and intriguing. I think that this book could be classified as a book for young adults or very mature kids due some mature scenes and humor. If you are someone like me that likes romance, high school drama, or maybe even humor, I truly believe that you will really enjoy this book.

Diary of a wimpy kid: double down

March23

If you want to know what Greg does in his life you should read this book. And if you like humor books read this. It’s super funny. This one time Greg said “You smell Asparagus” to his mom’s friend which I think is really funny. He also said his parents are robots and he is on a TV show which he’s really not. That’s only some of the parts that are funny. So why don’t you go to your local library and get this book.

THE JUMBIES

March23

I think that the book THE JUMBIES is a good book and would be good for you if you want to be kind of startled by the creatures that live in the forest by a house. If you also like scary books then this would be your book!

In the book, there is a girl named Corinne and she gets attacked a few times by this tribe of crazy creatures that want their island back. But if she does something about the creatures master, they will be nice to the villagers.

 

This book is an Adventure book.

I think that you should read this book because it has action, adventure, and a very interesting story line.

March23

Diary of a Wimpy Kid #12 is about Greg and his family going on vacation at Christmas time. They are almost late for the airport but their flight gets delayed; for the whole day. When they get on the plane Greg gets scared, and to make things worse, two more people come into his seat and there is also a baby that is sitting in the same row that he is. Once they get to the resort, Greg is actually glad they went, but all the fun activities are sold out for the week. So, they go on a boat and go snorkeling. Greg thinks that he swallowed a seahorse but the doctor just says he is okay. They get kicked out of the resort, for stealing peoples clothes, but they sneak back in to get a family picture. He ends up swimming with dolphins that he thinks are sharks. That happens when their trying to get a family picture. Then, a wall busts down into the adult side of the place; and there is chaos. Overall it is a really good book and I think you should read it. It is really funny and chaotic.

I am Pusheen the cat

March23

I am Pusheen the Cat by: Claire Belton

I think you should read I am Pusheen the Cat. One reason why you should read this book is because of the characters Pusheen and Stormy. Pusheen and Stormy are adorable and funny! For example, some funny parts were when Pusheen slept on the computer keyboard, and when she tried to use marshmallows as slippers or as a role model she depends on marshmallows. In addition to this, Stormy, Pusheen’s sister, is funny too – like when Stormy always tells on Pusheen when she gets extra treats and when they break something they just sit there and point at each other. Another reason why you should get this book is because Pusheen and Stormy  come up with lots of things to do which makes the book interesting For example, when Pusheen makes her own house decorations like a floor lamp where she just knocks a lamp off a counter. Also, when Pusheen comes up with different mustaches like the butt-stace and when pusheen tries to be fancy by putting a top hat and a mustache on.  If you want to figure out what other trouble Pusheen and Stormy get into, then you should read this book

 

Cats, humor, comic, entertainment.

Diary Of A Wimpy Kid by: Jeff Kinney

March14

I think that this is a really good book that you should read. It’s great because the characters are funny.  First of all it’s funny because they split up the resort into two sides, the “wild side” and the “Mild side”. Let me tell you that the fact that Greg hates spiders is funny but, it  makes it more funny because is in the shower and sees a spider and remembers the phone in the bathroom. What will happen next? That’s for you to find out. Roderick was funny when he got a bad sunburn. So to cool Rodricks sunburn they rubbed sticky popsicles all over his back. This is one of the funniest parts of the book was when the family was snorkeling in the middle of the ocean all goes wrong read the book to find out more.
