Calling All Reviews
Be Creative @ Your Library Summer Reading Program is well underway and the reviews are pouring in. We still have quite a few to post from last year so I am hoping to get most of them up before I start on the new batch. Here are a group of reviews written by 10 year olds that sound so interesting, I think you won’t be able to resist picking them up at the library. Lots of adventure, mystery and fantasy books to tempt your eyes are waiting for you at the library.
Diane Wilson Black Storm Coming 4 Star Review
Reviewed by Reaghen Age 10
When I was reading this book I could not put it down! I would love to meet Colten Wescott because he is so brave. I could never deliver the pony express mail like he could. The saddest part was when Little Willy died. I hope there will be a sequel to this book.
Brandon Mull The Candy Shop War 5 Star Review
Reviewed by Lynell Age 10
I read the “Candy Shop War” by Brandon Mull. There were 4 main characters: Nate, Summer, Trevor & Pigeon. One day they were going home from school & it was a very hot day, so they went to the Sweet Tooth Candy Shop. The person who owned the store (Mrs. White) had magic candy. There were Moon Rocks that you would suck on, chocolate that would make you blend in with your surroundings. But then this guy shows up around town and says “Nate, Summer, Pigeon, Trevor you can’t trust Mrs. White!” So who should they trust? The mysterious man going around town? Or should they trust Mrs. White.
Lesley M. M. Blume Cornelia and the Audacious Escapades of the
Somerset Sisters 5 Star Review
Reviewed by Danielle Age 10
The book I liked the most was Cornelia. The funniest part of this book was when they were in Paris and pronounced the word DOG wrong and the Somerset Sisters got 4 French Bulldogs. My friends should read this because there’s so many places they visited and so many adventures they have gone through. I would love to meet Cornelia. She could teach me some of the enormous words she knows! I would definitely read this again!

I loved this book. I really liked the stories Virginia told. I loved the story about Morocco. I think that kids should read this book because it tells you about the world! I absolutely LOVED this book!
M.C. Delaney Deep Doo Doo 4 Star Review
Reviewed by Jimmy Age 10
The funniest part of the book was when they found the pumpkin on the flagpole! Anyone who likes mysteries should read this book! It’s really interesting! I would like to meet the computergeek/inventer :).
Susan Fletcher Dragon’s Milk 5 Star Review
Reviewed by Abigail Age 10 3/4
“Dragon’s Milk” is a wonderfully thrilling story of a girl who has the gift to talk to dragons. I would like to meet Kaeldra. She could tell me all about dragons. I think “The Dragon Chronicles” is a great series of books.
Paul Stewart Fergus Crane 5 Star Review
Reviewed by Audrey Age 10
The saddest part of this book is that the boy, Fergus Crane, used to have a father but was not found before Fergus was born. My friends would probably like this book because there are questions hanging in your head when you want to know what happens next. I would like to meet Fergus Crane in person someday (or the person who created him because this story is fantasy). This story includes a lot of bravery, friendship and macadacchio nuts!
J.R.R. Tolkien The Hobbit 5 Star Review
Reviewed by Sebastian Age 10
I would like to meet Bilbo Baggins, the main character in “The Hobbit”. He puts his phrases in funny ways when he’s scared, for example: when he was on a giant eagle he said: Now I know how a piece of bacon feels when someone puts it in a pan, fries it then puts it back on the shelf. Also Bilbo is a hobbit, which means he is short, and doesn’t need shoes because his skin is tougher than ours. In addition, he is adventurous, unlike other hobbits.
Andrew Clements The Janitor’s Boy 5 Star Review
Reviewed by Brittany Age 10
This is a very good book. The scariest part was when Jack was going into the tunnel underground. It was scary because there was barely any light in the tunnel. I would not like to meet Jack because he would get me into a lot of trouble. I would like to meet his dad because his dad was in the war and I would like to learn about the war.
Gordon Korman Kidnapped: The Abduction 5 Star Review
Reviewed by Hannah Age 10 1/2
The was one of the best books I have ever read! It was scary when 10 year old Meg was kidnapped. This book is one in a series of three books, so you have to read all three to find out what happens. My friends should read this book because it is filled with action and suspense. I have read many Gordon Korman books and he is a great author.
Henry Winkler Life of Me: Enter At Your Own Risk 5 Star Review
Reviewed by Brent Age 10
The funniest part of the book was when Hank accidentally called his teacher a girl. The saddest part was when Zoe broke up with Hank. The scariest part was when Nick got mad at Hank. My friends should read this book because it’s very funny. I would like to meet Hank Zipzer.
Katy Kelly Lucy Rose Big on Plans 4 Star Review
Reviewed by Madison Age 10
I really liked “Lucy Rose Big on Plans” . The funniest part was when Lucy Rose and her friend flooded their grandma and grandpa’s basement. I think my friend should read it because I really enjoyed the book. If I could meet one of the characters it would be Lucy Rose because she always has an adventure.
E.D. Baker Once Upon a Curse 4.5 Star Review
The book “Once Upon a Curse” is a great book that is part of a great series. I think one of the characters I’d like to meet is Emma. She is one main character. Everyone should read this fantastic series. This book is full of magic and mystery.
Avi Poppy and Rye 4 Star Review
Reviewed by Kristin Age 10
I love this book because I never wanted to put the book down. My favorite character was Poppy because she was so brave. I love how the author made the story exciting. The author described the settings wonderfully. I liked how Ereth (the porcupine) had so many different expressions. “Poppy and Rye” is a great book.
Ben M. Baglio Sheepdog in the Snow 5 Star Review
Reviewed by Vinnie Age 10
One day Maddie and Simon were riding their bikes and found a homeless dog. I think my friends would like to read this book because it is interesting. I would like to meet Simon, Simon is a nice boy.
Joanna Campbell Star In Danger 5 Star Review
Reviewed by Cailey Age 10
The saddest part was when they tried to back Star too early. Because it is about horses and they are really awesome animals. I would like to meet Christina because she loves horses, just like me. My favorite part was when Christina came to work with Star at Townsend Acres. My favorite horse is Star. I think everyone should read it because it’s just a great book!
