Show Off is an amazing book by Sarah Hines Stephens and Bethany Mann. It is a book of how to do 224 things one step at a time! It has about one thing that will touch everyone. You can create a fake wound to weaving a friendship bracelet.It was fun reading through the book and looking at so many different things that I could do. I tried squeezing an egg into a bottle. It was fun to do and it motivated me to do more! This would be a good book for parents to look at when they want to entertain their kids.

I would rate this book a 9 out of 10.

Where the Wild Things Are is a good movie. The only problem is there is not an appropriate age to see this movie.  It could be good for all ages but there would be something wrong for each age group. Originally the book is for kids ages 0-6 but the movie puts a little twist on this old story. This movie is too sad and violent for kids 1-8 years old. But then it is too childish for people of the ages 11-101. It may seem fine for viewers 10 years old to about 16 because it would remind them of their childhood from when they read the story.  Having said that, there is no certain age group for this movie. The movie might seem very confusing, sad, violent or scary but it is worth an hour and forty-five minutes of your life.

It is a touching movie even though there are some down sides to it. It is also sweet how Max has a great relation with “The wild things”. The ending is when you get mixed feelings. So sad that Max leaves but so great that he goes back home to his family.

I would rate this movie a 5 1/2 out of 10.

When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead is a really good but confusing book. It is a book about a sixth grade girl named Miranda who lives in New York City. She is living life how any sixth grade girl would live in NYC. Then one day she gets a mysterious note that says…

“I am coming to save your friend’s life, and my own.

I ask two favors. First, you must write me a letter.”

Then these notes keep coming. She starts to think outside of the box. Then she noticed that something is going to happen. But she is too late.

This book has people who start out to be no one but then turn into the reason why what’s happening is all happening. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a mystery and just a pinch of drama.

This is so exiting! My first post! I am a member of the one and only Book Bloggers Club at Dalton. For every book I read in book bloggers I will blog about it.
