December 12, 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 sugar and spice and everything nice of a niece, Madison. She’s the best little helper around and a pure joy to be with. She has a sharp mind and has an infectious smile. She wants to be a teacher and likes helping others!

Introducing the adorable Madison,

“Hi I am a sixth grader and I like to read. I have read a lot of book series including, The Artemis Fowl Series by Eoin Colfer, and The Whatever After Series by Sarah Mlynowski. Here are a few other things about me. I love to write fantasy stories and mystery stories. I am the youngest of three in my family. My older sister is named Madelyn who is 13 and my brother Michael who is 19. I love my family and my friends. I’m currently reading the Harry Potter series”.

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

Book review on Wednesdays in the Tower

by Jessica Day George

The Book Setting

The book takes place at castle glower which is a magic castle. It can create whatever it wants or how the rooms are designed. The other main area is the tower just created form the castle. It also takes place at the stable near the palace.

Main Character Descriptions

Princess Celie– she is the main character of the story. She has brown hair and she is described with very freckly skin. She is very bossy to her older siblings.

Rufus the Gryphon-is the second most important character in the book. He is a baby gryphon who is described as cute. He is very brave and courageous.

Wizard Arkwright– he is the main antagonist who is believed to be a good guy but is not. He is tall and he has dark hair. He is very smart.

Personal Review

I liked this book a lot. It describes a lot out of all the scenes. If I were to recommend this book I would recommend this book to anyone who likes fantasy and adventure and mystery. My favorite part was when they realized wizard Arkwright was the bad guy and he stole something from them.

Author Bio

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.
