My favorite series! By Eoin Colfer.

 Hi. I haven't been writing in my blog lately because I have been really busy reading my favorite book series. Artemis Fowl. By Eoin Colfer. You have to read them in order because there are 8 
In the Artemis Fowl series. Which as you probably know means I can't write a review because there is so much to write about. I got the books jumbled up so I might as well have not read it at all. So I will tell you the correct order to read it in because Otherwise you might get slightly confused with the whole series's story line. 
One: Artemis Fowl.
Two: Artemis Fowl and the Arctic Incident.
Three: Artemis Fowl and the Eternity code
Four: Artemis Fowl and the Opal deception
Five: Artemis Fowl: The lost Colony
Six: Artemis Fowl and the time paradox
Seven: Artemis Fowl and the Atlantis Complex
Eight: Artemis Fowl The last guardian.


There are actually lots of covers for his books So just look for the big Artemis Fowl printed on the cover.
One of my other favorites by Eoin Colfer Is Airman. A good read if you can find it.
Keep reading.

Monster.

This book I will write about is definitely not for toddlers it's more for teenagers or grownups but it is so captivating! It's called Monster. Written by Frank Peretti. He also wrote This present darkness but I haven't read that yet. I hope you read the book but this is just a very rough review because it is such a long and thick book. Here is the basic Idea:

Beck and Reed are walking in the woods and when they get to the hut they see it has been wrecked by something that is much more powerful than a bear. Skip a part and beck is falling of a cliff and wakes up being fed by what looks like a giant monkey crossed with a bear. She has twisted her ankle or more like broke it and she can't walk. At first she panics and tries to resist but she realises that the big creature has a soft spot for her and is treating her like a family... well almost like a family. So she gets to know the creature and she realises that there is another cub and another female but the scariest of all a dominant male. And he isn't very happy with the female who fed beck. Meanwhile there is Reed taking things very seriously and organising a hunting group.

So there you are! The beginning of a huge adventure. Sorry to disappoint you but you have to read the book to see how it all ends. And by the way. There is a creature more terrifying in the woods than the creatures you just read about coming up. Keep reading. Nadia

More children's books

Hi. I told you earlier that I would write more on children's books so here I am. I have some more books for children here a little older than 2 or 5. It depends. So I made another list for you to go through. Here it is:

The Berenstain bears:
1. And the prize pumpkin.
2. Go to the Doctor
3. Get in a fight
4. Visit the dentist
5. Moving day
6. Sitter
7. Trouble with friends.

Anyway I know I'm supposed to be writing book reviews but I like making lists of thing like books. But I will write a tiny opinion about what I think all these books are likely to be described as.

The books in this Berenstain bear series all the books are useful for learning lessons like manners or being thankful or if you do something wrong you are punished. So it is ideal for kids at the age of 4 to 6. The series is written by Stan and Jan Berenstain.

I also have some other books so keep reading. Have you heard of the writer Norman Bridwell?
He writes this series about a dog called Clifford.
Here's a list I made:

1. Clifford's puppy days
2. Clifford's ABC
3. Clifford the big red dog.
4. Clifford's birthday party.

And so on and so forth...
These Clifford books are all about a humongous red dog called... You guessed it, Clifford. It is just like pleasure reading for toddlers.
Thanks for reading my blog. Keep reading.

Children's books

I have a little brother Ivan who LOVES being read to. So I have a basic idea what makes good children's books. Have you heard of  Dr, Seuss? Well if you didn't then you must be in a country where his books don't sell or just a boring person who doesn't have the dignity to look in the children's books area in the library. (So look and let your sense of adventure come out if you didn't look.) He writes the most hilarious rhymes and about fictional creatures in big writing. (Well sometimes.) Here are some titles for you to take a look at and see if any of them seem interesting to you.:

1. Hop on Pop
2.I can read with my eyes shut
3.The cat in the hat (Very Famous!)
4.The cat in the hat comes back!
5.Green eggs and ham
6.ABC
7.Oh, the thinks you can think!
8. One fish, two fish. red fish, blue fish
Just a few but I hope you enjoy it! (More on childrens books later don't worry!)

Keep reading.

Matilda (By Roald Dahl.)

This is the book of Matilda by Roald Dahl. I'll write about Roald Dahl later but for now I will write a short review of one book he wrote which I like particularly well. As you already know this book is Matilda.

Matilda is very smart, she could read at the age of three. But her parents don't care that she is a genius in fact they are so crazy about their son and busy with other stuff they don't even know she is a genius. Whan they send her to school she is in a class where she is definatley a genius. Her teacher notices and brings her some books of classes from the 4-6th grade. There is a terrible headmistress called Miss Trunchbull. She can take a girl by her ponytail and throw her over the fence without feeling bad! Matilda is getting tired of being accused by her parents of things she didn't do and she plays a few tricks on her father. And then she discovers that she has a secret power. She has brain power. She can move things with her mind. Guess what she does with her power or read the book... What would you do if you had that power?
Anyway. I really enjoyed reading that book and it made me want to study harder and do well in school.
Roald Dahl is an excellent writer and I hope you read more of his books.
Keep Reading.

Holes

The book of Holes is Very interesting. It is written by Louis Sachar and won a John Newbery Medal. I love it because it makes you feel like your the main person and it's the kind of book which you can't put down until your done reading it. Here's a short definition:
A boy called Stanley Yelnats (Which is spelled exactly the same way backwards.) ends up in trouble for something he didn't do. So he faces two options: He can either go to prison, or go to a camp called Camp Green Lake. He chooses camp. But that is a mistake. There is no lake or any green. And the boys there are mean and selfish. But he soon makes friends with them. he has to dig a 5 foot wide and deep hole every day. He realises that the people who work there are looking for something. But what? I hope you read the book. It's the most exiting book I ever read.

Educational books. (Very (un)boring)

I've made a list of educational books which I Love reading.
Here it is: Foreword: It isn't really horrible, it's just called that. Also there are more than just one horrible histories or science book. They both belong to the same series. So any horrible something book is just the same make. Remember that.
1.Horrible Histories. Written by Terry Deary and illustrated by Martin Brown. Tells you all the interesting facts about history.
2.Horrible science by Nick Arnold. Tells you interesting facts about science.
3. Horrible Geography. Tells you interesting things about Geography.
4.America's Horrible Histories. Tells you the history of America. (In a big range of books.)
5.The knowledge. Tells you just about anything. Can be written by various authors. My favourite book of that sort  is Spoilt Royals.
6.Dead Famous. Can also be written by various authors. My favourite book of that sort: Cleopatra. Tells you of people who are already dead, but the interesting version of their live.
