Breaking The Ice Review: Bella L

                     


                            Breaking The Ice is about a young girl named Kaitlin whose dream is to become a professional skater and be in the olympics. When she was competing she made a mistake which made her switch to a terrible team. She thought that it would be terrible but it was actually good because she had a met a boy. I think that this book deserves a Newbery award because the plot is really good and the ending is great. This book tells me to NEVER give up on my dreams because they can come true and to keep on trying.

Masterminds-Review Shriya P

Masterminds is a page-turner, that will you guessing till the end. Once you start reading it, you CAN'T PUT IT DOWN!!!!!! This book  is written in the perspective of several different main characters--- similar to the way 'The heroes of Olympus' series (by Rick Riordan) was written. This book is about Serenity, Nevada---where there is NO crime, NO homeless, NO unemployment, and most importantly........NO LYING!!!!!!!! The story is based on a group of kids in this small town. Their whole life is based on the rules and values of honesty. Soon.... they will discover that honesty isn't what has been going on. In fact they will find their very existence is a lie. But why?  Find out yourself. You should read--- no wait a second--- you have to read this book... or else the book police shall come and find you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Masterminds Review By: Bella L

                                Masterminds is a great book. It is about a group of kids that are trying to get into a building because they felt as something was going on that they didn't know about. They tried many ways to get into to the building and if you want to know the rest you can read the book. I think that this book deserves a Newbery award because it is very interesting and it makes me want to read more and more and more. I think that the book Masterminds has a really good plot it makes you keep guessing and guessing and it gives you clues also. I hope that the book will have a sequel because the ending of the book made me want more. -Bella L

The Poe Estate by Polly Shullman. Review by Shriya

I believe this story has a chance at a NewBery Medal or maybe a runner up the theme was amazing! The story really had to make you think about what was gonna happen next, there was lots of character change and  the climax was huge you could tell when you were getting near the climax and the rising action and the falling action. The story had a great plot and the story gets even more interesting when the main character Lizzy had a problem that comes up! Does Lizzy solve it or not and then right as she's trying solve that problem another bigger problem comes and this time life's could be changed!
