Because of being framed and jumping off a bridge, Mr. Solomon is replaced with Townsend who is a lousy Coveops teacher.

Frank Einstein is a science genius. He works on inventions and helps his grandpa with his shop while his crazy parents are traveling around the world for their travel blog. But Gramps is about to lose the shop because of the lack of finances, and Frank is convinced that he can win the Science Fair and win the money he needs to keep it open. On the night he tries to bring his robot to life, he misses his chance. Or so he thinks—a spark creates a chain reaction and builds two robots; and Frank is oblivious. After his failed invention, he wants to create something bigger, and better with the robots help, but his arch-nemesis may prove to be an obstacle. In a science-filled story, Jon Scieszka writes an illustrated adventure that is great for younger readers. My thoughts: I thought this book was a fast and fun read. I liked everything about this book, and I think young readers will love it, as well as fans of science. The illustrations were amazing, and I love the cover. This was a wonderful start to a sure-to-be-loved middle-grade series!

Gertie has a goal. She is going to be the best 5th grader. Her reason for her goal? So that her distant mother(who is moving away and getting married), will realize that Gertie doesn't need her. But someone else has the same goal. Enter new girl, Mary Sue Spivey, who just moved from California while her dad is filming a movie here. All of a sudden she is the most popular girl in school. She knows the most famous child actresses in the country, she knows all the answers in class, she's the teachers favorite. According to Gertie, she is just plain evil. So now Gertie must come up with a new plan. How can she become the best fifth grader ever? How can she become the smartest, the funniest, the most popular? And how can she do it while keeping her friends? I think this book was an interesting view on not-so-average families. Gertie's mom left them when Gertie was very little, but she lives just across town. Now Gertie's Great-Aunt Rae stays with her and her father and takes care of them. And Gertie's father works on an oil rig, so he is gone for two weeks and then home for two weeks. At the beginning of the book Gertie is very self-involved. However, as the book goes on there is character development, and she is a better person at the end. I recommend this to elementary students who like realistic fiction. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

This book was one of the best books I've read. It was really intriguing and I enjoyed it a lot. One of the best parts of the book was the cover. It had the type of material where you could scratch it like on some Valentine cards except I've never seen it on a book. If you turn it side to side it shows a normal Professor and Professor Gargoyle. The book is about a seventh grader named Robert Arthur who's life has turned upside down. He was forced to switch schools while all of his friends stayed at the other school. The only person he knows at Lovecraft Middle School is the bully who had been tormenting him for years and will stop at nothing to get every single dollar out of Robert. Lovecraft Middle School has just been built and has everything state-of-the-art, but Robert doesn't like it. Things get even weirder when rats start jumping out of the brand new lockers. To top it off, his science teacher may not be human. With the help of some unexpected new friends can Robert save himself let alone Lovecraft Middle School? Professor Gargoyle was a fresh and exciting book. I can't wait to red the next Lovecraft Middle School book: The Slither Sisters!

This book was really good! It's about 12 year old McKenzie(Mac) whose Mom ends up getting a job for her favorite band: Perfect Storm! She now has the opportunity to go to their every concert, see their natural behavior, and possibly get Zander to date her. All of this can happen to her because her Mom is their tour manager! But once Mac's in the tour buses and hotels, she realizes things are different. Heath is really into pranks, but is there like a brother. Zander isn't as perfect and modest as he seems on stage. And then there's Kyle. Mac always thought of Kyle as shy, timid, and a cute boy who can play guitar. But she learns more about him. He writes songs, isn't too seemingly shy, and seems to really like Mac. Or is that just Mac. Things go up and down, but the worst thing happens that will break everyone's heart: Perfect Storm might break up! But once Mac gets on the scene, she does what not even her Mom could do, get the boys to forgive and forget. Once the tour is over, Mac finally tells Kyle she likes him, and he says he likes her back. I can't wait for the sequel: VIP: Battle of the Bands!

This graphic novel is great! I would recommend it specifically to young children who like the Babymouse series. Low Riders in Space sets place in Mexico where everyone is a comical-looking bug. Three people, Lupe, El Chavo, and Elirio, are mechanics at a car shop. They each have a special talent that makes them each outstanding.

They fix up a lowrider(their favorite type of car) and make it into something stellar. But they need their car to be GALACTIC if they want to win. So, with the rocket engines Lupe installs in the car, they go through space! From stars that shine to jumping moon dust, these three will definitely be one of the best. But will their's be the best. In overwhelming ovation, they are cheered as they win the contest. They get their carload of money, and build their shop! This book is really nice for any kid because it's a graphic novel, and the characters speak Spanglish, so there are translations.

In this book Chloe Cho is tired of being grouped in with other Asians, people not knowing the difference between Japaneses, Chinese, and Korean. And she is sick of being called another "Abigal Yang", just because she plays the violin well. And she wants to know more about her Korean background. But anytime she asks any questions her parents just change the subject. Only her best friend Shelley wants to help get answers. So Chloe is thrilled when she finds out her new teacher is Korean as well, and she is assigned a project about family history. But what Chloe finds out will change her life forever. Parts of this book were predictable. Other parts were just cheesy. The reason I rated it higher than a 1 star was because it did have good lessons on racism. Overall, I rate this book 2 out of 5 stars.
