Call for Reviews! Some Helpful Hints


You may be wondering what it exactly means when it says “review”. Here is a brief description of what we are looking for. The reviews have to be longer than just “Its Good.”;) You should describe what the book is about, a bit of the storyline. Next, tell us if you liked it or not and why, it’s always good to give examples from the book. Remember this is a fun way to share books with each other and let everyone know your opinion. It doesn’t have to be a certain length but try to follow the below guide. Thanks for sharing and can’t wait to see you all in the New Library!

  • Paragraph 1: Introduce the book title and its author and why you wanted to read it. Tel l readers what the book is about in two or three sentences. Name the main characters and basic plot, but don’t give away any secrets or the ending.
  • Paragraph 2: Write about what you liked or didn’t like and why. Share some of your favorite parts or quotes from the book. What did you think of the main character?
  • Paragraph 3: Share yo ur opinion of the book. Would you recommend it to your friends? Why or why not? Do you think some peop le would like it but not others? Why? Did this book remind you of any other books you’ve read?

Of course, if you have your own way of writing a review, we’ll take that too!

The Sisters Grimm: Tales from the Hood by Michael Buckley



The Sister`s Grimm: Tales from the Hood  By Michael Buckly           
          
 The Sister`s Grimm 6 was a mixed genre book. It included Mystery, Fantasy and Adventure. This book was about 2 sisters who solve fairytale mysteries together. In this book their family friend the big bad wolf is on trial for killing Little Red Riding Hood`s Grandma. Red Riding Hood is hard to get information from because after the Big Bad Wolf attacked her Grandma she went crazy. But in the end, they find out what really happened. Overall, I thought it was an amazing piece of writing and I hope you enjoy it too.
