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!

Tales Of A Sixth Grade Muppet By Kirk Scroggs

Tales of a Sixth-Grade Muppet by Kirk Scroggs


I recently finished reading a great book called: Tales Of A Sixth Grade Muppet By: Kirk Scroggs. The book tells the story of Danvers, a Sixth Grader whose hero is the Great Gonzo, but after being made fun of, all he wants is to be just like Gonzo. In case you don't know, Gonzo is a Muppet, so to be just like Gonzo Danvers would have to be a Muppet. And when he wakes up the next morning, he's a Muppet! Someone is up to something, because all the Muppet's are strangely appearing! But when he becomes a member of the Muppets, Danvers thinks being a muppet might not be so bad. But why are things appearing that weren't there before? How was Danver's transformed into a Muppet? You'll have to read the book to find out!
There are a lot of questions that this book didn't answer. I hope there is a second book. The book is good, so that would make me want me read a second, but I also want to read the end of the story. If you like the Diary of A Wimpy kid, then this book is right for you.
