Book Reviews for Kids by Kids- A to Z Mysteries, White House White Out

August 15, 2015

For those of you who are looking for new books appropriate for middle grade that both boys and girls might enjoy, this is the place to look!

Every month, at least one new book will be added for review right here and they will be reviewed by the best critics, KIDS! That’s right, the one’s who read them will be the judge!

This blog is written by my 9 year old son, Alexander.

Introducing Alexander, or the name he goes by, Lex.

“Hi, this is Lex. I am a fourth grader and my favorite subjects are recess, lunch, and sometimes science. My least favorite things about school are some of the rules like having to sit while you wait for parent pick up. My favorite movie is Guardians of the Galaxy, Frozen, and The Incredibles (to name a few). Things that scare me are scary sounds like howling winds, thunder and creepy ghost sounds. Things that amaze me are surprises like birthday presents and how big tornadoes can be, how much destruction is caused by earthquakes and other natural disasters and that plants like the Venus Fly Trap can eat bugs!

My favorite activities are playing games, family night, swimming and bowling. My favorite foods are brownies, blueberries, cheeze-its, raspberries, marshmallows, and Vietnamese spring rolls and noodles. I REALLY don’t like cucumbers, tomatoes and onions. Something unique about me is that mom thinks I’m handsome and I make people laugh.

I got this book in 3^rdgrade. It didn’t look so good at first. But when I read the book I thought it was great!!!”

Here’s me,

And now, introducing our next middle grade book review for kids, by kids!

Book review on White House White Out

by Ron Roy

Setting:

The book was about a snowy December in Washington, D.C., and Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose are there to see the lights.

They meet the president’s daughter, KC, and her friend Marshall. While they are there, the dog goes missing! They set out to find her. They get lost in the cold snowy snow. They find out that 2 robbers took her. The police caught the criminals! The policeman said “thank you! We have been trying to catch them for 7 years!”

Main Characters:

Personal Review:

My favorite part of the book was when the criminals were caught because they’ve been trying to catch them for so long! It was scary when they got lost in the snow because it was night time and they were in the middle of nowhere.

I give this book 5/5 stars because it had great details, a great story, and a lot of other things.

Linda

I’m Linda Louise, one of the bloggers on this website and Colleen’s little sister. I’m just a girl in her mid-thirties who feels thirteen when I play outside with my boys, fifteen when I sing my heart out listening to tunes while driving by myself, and sixty five when I go out past ten at night. I have a thing for junior mints, Mt. Dew, shrimp and kale (though not all at once) and I have a crush on Superman. I still get girlish butterflies when I read Twilight, cry when I read These is My Words, and smile from ear to ear when I read Anne of Green Gables. I have nightmares about aliens on a regular basis and I have a bad habit of midnight snacking. I love everything sports, except golf (although can that honestly be considered a sport??), and I hate anything that slithers, hisses, or stings. I have a problem with giggling at inappropriate moments and I sometimes wish life was a musical. I love science, hate math, love Dr. Seuss, and hate olives. My family is my world and my joys come from their happiness. I’ve learned I don’t know much about anything and I live for a good adventure, naps, cuddles, stories, exceptional food and The Shire.
