Student Book Reviews

Sixth grade students at Frost wrote the following comments and reviews about their favorite books in Spring 2004.

The Amber Spyglass, by Phillip Pullman

I liked it because it has lots of action and fairytale creatures. I think other people will like it because I have very good taste in books.

Captain Underpants Series, by Dave Pilkey

I like this series because it is a superhero comedy/thrill/action book. This series makes me laugh. They have mini-comics in it and pictures on mostly every page.
These are really funny because the kid does funny things. It is a fantasy and a super hero book.

Dork in Disguise, by Carol Gorman

I liked how he worked hard to become "popular" at his new school, and I liked how he kept being a "nerd" at his house and around Brenda. If you like funny, stupid, and interesting books, you will like this! There are a lot of good details and logic to the book.

Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul

It has really good stories about teenagers and things that could happen to you. It has things that make you learn and you think that the book understands you because you've been through the same experiences. When you feel lonely you can read it or when you're depressed and it will make you realize that your problems are smaller than the people who live in the streets.

Eragon, by Christopher Paolini

It had a lot more action than most people's books that I have read. I've always liked dragons and magic, and Eragon has a whole lot of both. It also has a whole lot of other mystical creatures like elves and dwarves.
There is a very good story line and action to the end.
It had lots of fighting and it used magic. With all of the action, you never get bored. My favorite character was Eragon.
It has lots of action and a good quest and plot. A rider named Eragon is on a journey to stop the Empire from taking over.
It was a very exciting book. I like the way it ends.
I like this book because of the dragon, because there are people who can use magic, and I like books that have people that have special powers. If you like books with magic and lots of adventure, this book will be perfect for you.
It was full of suspense and action. The way it was written was amazing. I liked the plot, too.
It had action, adventure, humor, and it was based on the Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
It was full of action and mystery and monsters that kill and make terrible things happen. There is an evil king who is trying to overthrow a good group going against the king's thoughts.

Forest Tales, Book One: The Secret of the Labyrinth, by C. J. Lewis

It has a really good plot and it is so far the best book I have read. It also has a great story line.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, by J. K. Rowling

It is full of action and adventure, and it's full of magic with mystical creatures. It gives a good picture and imagination in your mind.

Just as Long as We're Together, by Judy Blume

I could relate to the girls in the book. Also it was very, very good with all of the very different events in the book. I think it's more for girls, but I would suggest it because there are a lot of things to relate to or experience the very entertaining events, and it might send out a good message.

Martin the Warrior, by Brian Jacques

The characters were great and it was an adventure fantasy and action packed. Plus I like medieval things and this book is all about swords and things.

Mossflower, by Brian Jacques

It had characters that were very well matched with the story. The overall plot and story is funny and adventurous.

The Slippery Slope, by Lemony Snicket

It's a mystery book and it makes you feel like you were there. Many awful things happen to the Baudelaires and they always find a way to survive. It's an adventure book and a mystery book. If a reader likes a book with a nasty villain, then this is the book they will want to read!

The Tale of Despereaux, by Kate Dicamillo

This is a fantasy about a mouse that is brave and does very interesting stuff.

The Thief Lord, by Cornelia Funke

I Liked the story line and the conflict. The are both very complicated and they took awhile to solve. Also the author made parts suspenseful. The characters are mysterious, funny, and aggressive, with each person having their own personality.

Things Not Seen, by Andrew Clements

I really liked the characters, because the book really shows their personalities, and because it is an adventure/mystery. Also, I love the plot because it makes you want to keep reading. On a scale of 1 to 5, I would give it a 5. Because I really liked this book, I bet other people will like it too!
