1, 2, 3, Transform!

Hello everybody!

I'm going to review the Katie Kazoo Switcheroo series. 

The books are about a girl called Katie who wishes that she could be anybody except herself.

To grant her wish, magic winds start transforming her into different people and animals. Katie starts transforming into her friends, the lunch lady, even hamsters and bats.

In each book Katie transforms into different things and faces different problems and adventures. Will she ever find out how to return back to herself before she causes even more problems?

The books are written by Nancy Krulik, an American author who got the idea for Katie in a dream.

I recommend this book for ages 7+.

Kids will love this series because of its fun language and realistic characters. 

They will also like it because of the funny problems Katie accidentally creates along the way. At the end of each book, facts are included about a certain topic, which makes it even more interesting!

You guys should definitely read this book!

Truth...or DARE?

Hi, everybody!

Ramona's World

Hi!

Like I said in my previous post, I will be talking about the Ramona Quimby books.
The stories are set in Oregon, in the USA, in modern times. The books are about Ramona, her sister Beezus, her friends, and her parents.
The series is really funny and portrays modern life clearly, with a lot of good description.
In the first book, Beezus and Ramona, Beezus's point of view is shown but in the rest of the books Ramona's point of view is given.
Ramona tries to please everyone and she tries to please herself but she ends up in a lot of hilarious trouble. A lot of funny things happen and the series is great for all ages.
The author is Beverly Cleary, and she's also written the Henry Huggins series.
I love these books and I think everyone should read them!

Shining like a Star

Hello, guys!
Right now, I'll be talking about the book Shine by Kate Maryon.
The book is about a girl, Tiff, and her Mum. Tiff's life is amazing and she always has something new in her life.
But that all changes when Tiff's Mum commits a crime and has to go to prison. Tiff is tossed from one place to another, first going to a children's home, then being thrown to what she thinks is the dullest place on Earth.
Tiff's family tries to make her comfortable, but she refuses to settle down, and there are still many questions in her head.
Who was her dad? Why did her Mum run away from her family? And why does her new enemy, Holly [and Holly's mum] hate Tiff and her mother so much?
I loved this book a lot and I think all you people out there should read it. The book is really creative and portrays Tiff's thoughts clearly.
It also describes things nicely and I give it a 5 star rating!
I hope all of you will like the book as well.
Shine was written by Kate Maryon, who loves chocolate, films, and eating out. She's also written the books Glitter, A Million Angels, Invisible Girl, and A Sea of Stars.
Next time I'll review the Ramona series by Beverly Cleary. Why don't you check it out?

Living in a Museum

Hey, everybody!
Today I'll be reviewing the book 'From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler.'
The book starts off by describing the main character, Claudia's, life, and how bored she is of it. She decides to run away, taking her younger brother Jamie with her.
They end up living in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York, where they discover a mystery just waiting to be solved by them.
Each detail is described beautifully, making it drag, yet making it all the more interesting. You could even learn a bit about the Renaissance and the Metropolitan Museum of Art!
 And then there are Jamie's and Claudia's own problems. How long can they stay undercover in the museum? How will they get their basic needs if they run out of money? How do they earn money? And, importantly, how do they solve the mystery?
Don't be fooled by the name of the book, because it's a really great book, which is why it won a prize!
You guys should seriously try it out, because I think it's an awesome book!
Till next time, goodbye!

Walking on Main Street

Hi, everybody!
As promised before in my previous blog, I'll review the Main Street series.
The books are about a group of friends: Flora, Ruby, Olivia and Nikki [who live in Camden Falls] and all their adventures. The series is realistic fiction, and is slightly girly.
It's about all the friendship problems and personal problems the girls have.
The books are written by Ann M. Martin, the author of the Baby-sitters Club series. Each character has their own problem most of the time.
Flora and Ruby are sisters who are the complete opposite of each other. They are taken care of by their grandmother, and for them the problem is getting adjusted to their new town- and each other!!
Olivia's a good friend of Flora and Ruby and usually her problem revolves around her family and friends.
Nikki belongs to a not well-to-do family and she lives on the wrong side of town. She's usually the one who has to deal with her family's arguments.
The books are mostly very interesting because of multiple problems going on at once, but that also might be confusing now and then.
According to me, these books are fine, but there is too much unnecessary information and details, but other than that, you should definitely try it out!
Goodbye!
