Super Narwhal and Jelly Jolt (A Narwhal and Jelly Book #2)
By Ben Clanton
Narwhal wants to become a superhero, and he needs a sidekick, so his best friend Jelly steps up to the job! EVERYONE knows that superheroes need superpowers, but Super Narwhal isn't sure what his superpower is. After Super Narwhal saves the day multiple times, it becomes clear that Super Narwhal's superpower is the power to bring out the super in others! I really liked this book, it's a super cute short story that is perfect for young readers. I also like how in the middle of the story the author includes a bunch of fun facts about REAL super sea creatures. The illustrations are super creative, and I definitely recommend this book. Enjoy!
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
By J.K. Rowling
How do you think it would feel to be the only one to stop a being of pure evil? In the book Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling.The protagonist is Harry Potter a teenage wizard boy who lives with his aunt and uncle. They treat him like he doesn’t even exist and his room is a cupboard under the stairs. The reason he lives with these horrible people is because his parents died at the hand of the antagonist Voldemort the greatest evil in the wizarding world. I find the book very interesting and descriptive. The author did a very well job making this book and this series in general. There are parts that made me quite sad as important things went on. Such as how someone very dear to Harry died right in front of him or how he has to struggle through having a very mean and evil teacher controlling Hogwarts. There are a lot of twists and times where you don’t know what to expect. J.K. Rowling created pure perfection in a paper back cover that will most likely live on and entertain many generations to come and withstand the test of time. Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix was a very thick book with eight hundred seventy pages and definitely not the last nor biggest book in the series. So far this book is my favorite and I recommend it to anyone looking for a great and long read. I believe J.K. Rowling did a amazing job in describing areas, characters and magical creatures in the book and the whole series. I also believe that this is straight from the heart and mind of the author and will inspire many whether it be adult or child to pursue their dreams and to never give up on what they believe in. The characters are all filled with such description from the way they speak to their dreams that they wish to come true. When you first introduced to characters you get a description of what their wearing, what they look like and how they seem to appear in stater. The ending was both wrapped up well and made me want to read more from the other books. I know I will feel sad when I finish the last two books, but I will feel happy to have read these books. I suggest this book to someone between the ages of 7 to adult because this book has odd words some people may not be able to pronounce.
Dog Man: Lord of the Fleas: From the Creator of Captain Underpants (Dog Man #5)
By Dav Pilkey
I love Dog Man. I started reading the books in 4th grade when I was introduced to it. I was given a free paper dog man book with 33 pages. Anyways, I loved it. I bought two hardcover books for a total of $20. I read them both in one hour. My brother's school had a book fair and he bought to for $20, as well. Same thing happened with him, he read them both in one hour. I love these books, but that's just too much money for, 1. something (I know it purposely looks like that) that does not look like it took too much time to make, 2. something that takes you 30 minutes to read, 3 something that does not have many pages. Dog Man is the best, and I have read this one, it's about the adventures with his cat friends. I would definitely recommend that if you have not yet read the other books, I think you should before you read this one because you can get a better understanding of everything. I also have some pros and cons about the books for younger children, one of the cons is that they don't use "proper" language, but a pro about this book for younger children is that it does not take long to read, it's humorous, and it does not use a lot of big words, only one or two a book. Closing, I just don't think that this book is worth $10 dollars just for you to read it in 30 minutes. I am not trying to hate on Dog Man, y'all!! This review was thought out, and took time to be written, so please respect that. Follow me to get the inside scoop about books!! Bye y'all!! ☺

Phoebe and Her Unicorn
By Dana Simpson
Fourth grader girl Phoebe one day when she was at the pond, trying the skipping rocks until she had accidentally hit the magical unicorn by the rock. The unicorn said it's fine because tshe has a tendency to become awestruck by her own appearance by the relection of her. The unicorn's name was Marigold Heavenly Nostrils. Throughout the story, you would often see Phoebe with her unicorn friend during summer, schools years, etc. This is a graphic book so I recommend this book series if you like fantasy and graphic books. - Happy Reading!
Guts
By Raina Telgemeier
Guts by Raina Telegeimer astounds me! Mainly because this book goes on a more personal level when talking about fears and anxieties. It an absolutely amazing story that is a must-read! Raina is in fourth grade, she is a shy self-consious nervous girl! After the rounds of stomach bug hit her school she gets a new fear! A fear of throwing up. Because of that she would get sensitive on conversation topics, and it didn't help that at the time fourth grade was a "gross out contest" But her fear of vomit made a new problem. She wouldn't eat!! AT ALL!?! Beans make you gassy and that would embarrass yourself! Cheese wouldn't be good either! AND DEFINITELY NOT ARTICHOKES. And with a family that has Tacos almost every day her parents start to notice, taking her to a therapist to help her out, her new therapist tells Raina everyone has fears! And you shouldn't be afraid! This book is truly wonderful and I'd hate to spoil it! So you should definitely check it out! And the best part its a true story about the author Raina Telegeimer herself! As she says! "It takes guts to face your fears!" So if your feeling afraid of anything this book can definitely help you get some self confidence 😁❤ Happy Reading!!
The Dragonet Prophecy (Wings of Fire, Book 1)
By Tui T. Sutherland
CleverGirl
This is my favorite book series EVER! I really wish they'd make a movie of the books. (Not anyone but Universal, otherwise they'd mutilate it) It has betrayal, battles, war, queens, friendship, romance, action, jokes, Hunger Games-style arena warfare, prophecies, secrets, and characters you love (Hello, DoD, and you too, Jade Winglet. Also Darkstalker, Deathbringer, and Riptide. 'Cuz they're too awesome) and characters you'll hate. (coughcough Scarlet, Morrowseer, Blister, and Burn cough) I can not believe that Warriors is more popular than this. I mean, Warriors is okay, but it kind of "lost the magic," by the time the second series rolled around. This one is still going strong. And it has DRAGONS! Not to mention, when I reread Warriors, I thought "I read this in the second grade?" (When I was in 2nd grade, I was OBSESSED with Warriors. I don't really recall why.) Long story short: 2nd grade. Bedtime. Couldn't get to sleep. Pulled out A Dangerous Path. Mom made a 'no Warriors at bedtime' rule after that. (What? Those dogs were scary as heck.) Now, this does have some violence. (Mostly in the first book, because, hey, when much of the plot revolves around an arena where dragons fight to the death, not everyone's gonna make it out alive) But unlike Warriors, you usually won't be lying awake at night because you're afraid to go to sleep. (Though I did have a couple of nightmares about these once.) All in all, this series is five stars out of five!!!!! (For age rating, I would read this to a MATURE 3rd grader and up. Don't read it to younger kids unless you know them well and they are very hardy. I mean, like, 2nd grade. Don't read these to kindergartners. They probably wouldn't get it anyway.)
Stick Dog
By Tom Watson
Have you ever been so hungry and craving something just right? Stick Dog is a dog that lives in a pipe under a highway. One day when he was with his friends, his belly rumbled. Their plan is to find and eat the perfect hamburger. Some funny things happen along the way! I really like this book. One reason I like it is because it’s very exciting and adventurous. Another reason is because the illustrations match the story perfectly. I really recommend that you read this book!
