 Lost And Found By: Jack Carpenter

The name of the book that I have chosen is Lost And Found. The book is written by Andrew Clements. The main theme of the book is to not do something bad because you will always get caught. If you do something nice someone else good things will happen to you. The genre of my book is fiction because it is not a true story. I think an attention grabber would be that the book has two twins brothers switch off every day at school and the teachers didn’t even know. If I switched days at school that would be boring cause you couldn’t go outside.

I think the book tells a terrific story. The detail in the book is great because there is no part of the book where you wouldn’t want to stop reading it. I don’t think the plot is believable because I can’t believe that two brothers would switch every day at school. It wasn’t hard to concentrate because I went into a quiet room and read every day. The setting of my book is in Clifton, Ohio. The book is in the month of September when school starts. The setting helps the book a lot because they don’t go to another place they’re just at school and their house. The setting does play an important role because the setting is the home of the characters.

The theme of my book would be school because most of the time in the book the kids are at school. The problem in the book is that Ray is sick and when Jay goes to school Ray wasn’t on the attendance list. The book showed me to whenever there is a problem fix it right away. I think the author of the book did set out what he tried to do because he wrote a great book and people liked it. I think the characters didn’t connect with the reader but they did with each other because Ray and Jay were confusing because you didn’t know which one was talking. The characters did develop throughout the book because Ray used to be sick and at the end he wasn’t and them both got used to the kids at the school. I can identify me with Ray because were the same age, same colored hair gets sick a lot, and doesn’t really enjoy school.

There were many surprises in the book like when they started to switch off every day at school. There were no cliffhangers which I was upset about because after the chapter I wasn’t all that into the book. If there were cliffhangers I would have enjoyed the book a little bit more. The dialogue was very natural and believable because it didn’t seem like there were no parts in the dialogue that was boring so I enjoyed that. I suggest this book to 6th grade because I think they would enjoy it and because the kids are in our grade. I liked the book because it had to do with school and I was in school currently so I enjoyed it.

[] = __ The Hunger Games __ = By: Jack Carpenter

The book I read is called The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. The main theme of this book is the careers battling the people from the other districts off to make sure they survive. The genre of this book is fiction. I thought the book told a great story. The book will be great after you read it. The plot of the book to me is memorable. I think it is because the book was great. I could concentrate perfectly because when I read I felt like I was in the book and I imagined what just happened in my head. The country where the book takes place is called Panem. There are districts in Panem the one that the book takes place in is District 12 and the Capitol. There are 12 districts surrounding the Capitol. The setting really helps the story because every part of the book takes place in District 12. The setting plays the biggest role in the whole book, because that’s where the characters live. I completely understood the area because it told me what the area looked like. The theme of this book I think would be battle, because they have a lot of battles. The problem is that Katniss and Peeta are now in the Hunger Games. This is a battle to the death. They take one boy and one girl from each district. The book showed me that battle to the death is really scary because you can possibly die at a young age. The author accomplished what she set out to do. She wrote a great book with a lot of detail. The characters connected with me because I knew everything that was going on because the author wrote the book telling every piece of detail. The characters connected with each other because they all knew each other and they were already good friends. Katniss develops over time because she now can fight and save herself because she had practiced before the games. Other characters don’t develop in the story because they were already like Katniss at the end of the story. I can identify Peeta because he is a boy so he is like any other boy. Likes to get dirty, likes sports and is tough. That’s what I think what Peeta looks like. There were lots of surprises. Katniss’s best friend Rue gets caught in a net and stabbed with a spear. Another one would be when Peeta and Katniss were just put into the games. There were no cliffhangers at the end of any chapters which didn’t affect the book. The dialogue in the book is believable for the characters because the characters would talk back and forth and some would interrupt. I thought the book was the best book I had ever read in my life. It was the best the detail everything about it. I think this book would be good for 5th grade and above because some of the scenes are to bloody.

 Abraham Lincoln The book that i read is called Great American President, written by Brenda Haugen. The main theme of this book is about Abraham Lincolns life starting from a child to when he was the president. The genre of this book is non-fiction. Where could this presidents life go.  This book tells a great story, with lots of detail. The plot of this book is believable because its a biography so I can believe that the author did a lot of research. I could also focus very well because the book was great. My mind also didn’t wonder because I went to a quiet place and read my book. Abraham was born on February, 12 1809 in Kentucky. The book takes place in Kentucky and Washington D.C. The theme helped make the book exciting because the theme was a big part in the play. The characters are real people so I can’t tell if they connected or not. I think the author did accomplish what she set out to do because she wrote a great book. The book had two cliff hangers that kept you on your toes. The book kept you thinking about whats going to happen next in Abe’s life time. In the beginning there were some big surprises, for example Abraham Lincolns grandfather was killed by native Americans. I enjoyed reading this book because the author wrote a great book with a lot of information and detail to really explained Abe Lincolns child hood. I would recommend this book for any one who likes history or 4th grade and up.

A report by Jack Carpenter

The book that I read is called The __Lightning Thief__ by Rick Riordan. The book’s theme is Greek Gods and the genre is fiction. One thing that grabbed my attention was that there was a Big Three. The Big Three were the gods Poseidon, Zeus, and Hades. My book tells a very well written story because it was exciting. The plot was memorable because there were so many adventures and journeys throughout the book. No it was a very enjoyable.

The book takes place in New York City and Camp Half Blood. The setting helps my book feel like the real world and the year was not mentioned.. The setting plays the role of where the characters go and for the readers understanding of the book. Gods are the theme of my book. Zeus’ lightning bolt was stolen, which created the problem. I think the author accomplished what they set out to do.

I connected to Percy Jackson because he thinks like me and he connects to the other characters. Yes they developed throughout the book. In the beginning they didn’t like each other and in the end they were best friends. I can see myself as Percy Jackson because he is a lot like me.

One of the surprises was that three old ladies that popped up on a bus in the middle of the book. No there were no cliffhangers. The dialogue was very natural and believable for all of the characters. I loved the book because it had so much detail and creativity. The people that would like this book would be anyone above 5th grade because they would be able to understand it.
