Genius Files #4: From Texas With Love:
Reviewed by: Rina Kwok, 12:
This book is about twin brother and sister Pepsi and Coke. As they make their way back from their aunt’s wedding they have to dodge the bowler dudes, an evil person, and their evil teacher.
I like this book because it is full of suspense, mystery and humour and some very touching parts. I would recommend this to people that like suspense, mystery, humour and a little bit of sadness. Dan Gutman is a very funny author who knows how to hook you in.
The Lemonade War:
Reviewed by: Angela Yu, 9: This book is about two kids named Evan and Jessie both opening lemonade stands and competing to see who can make $100 before Sunday night.
I like this book because it has a message that having the same two businesses doesn’t mean that you have to be competitive or mean. It’s about how much fun you are having and thinking about your customers and treating people the way you want to be treated. I recommend this book to people who like math, business, pranks, and of course lemonade.
Legend:
Reviewed by: Ross Yeung, 11:
This book is about a villain and a soldier becoming friends.
I like this book because the first sentence of the book pulled me right into the story. It was a great book and kept me at the edge of my seat from start to end. I would recommend this book to readers looking for a book that would spark their imagination.
