The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis. Reviewed by Joshua, 9.
This book is about Lucy, Edmund, Peter and Susan finding a land by entering a mysterious wardrobe in a professor’s house.
There they make friends with Aslan and they fight against the White Witch. I like this book because it teaches me to choose friends wisely. In the beginning, Edmund became friends with the witch, but later he joined the good side.
If some friends ask you to do bad things or trick you into lying, they are not really friends.
Nancy Drew and The Clue Crew: April Fool’s Day by Carolyn Keene. Reviewed by Lara, 11.
This book is about three girls — Nancy, Bess and George, who are invited to an April Fool’s Day party.
At the party, someone’s phone and gamer are stolen. It’s up to the Clue Crew to solve the case.
I like this book because I enjoy reading mystery books. While I was reading, I even tried solving the case. I think that the Clue Crew are great detectives!
Survivors: The Empty City by Erin Hunter. Reviewed by Nathan, 11.
This book is about how dogs survive in the wild when an earthquake strikes, destroying many homes and even killing some of them.
I liked this book because the protagonist, Lucky, is a dog that banded with other dogs that survived the earthquake. Sadly, none of the dogs except Lucky knew how to survive in the wild because they were pets.
Lucky was a lone dog so he had experience. He taught the other dogs hunting skills and helped them survive.
