The Fast & the Furious

Reader Number 436 wrote: Not too good...not too bad. Good for a person liking cars (cool ones), racing, and stuff like that. A car lover is the only one to whom this movie can be recommended. Most good parts of the movie are when they race. Rest of it is...just like...ok. Grade: B

myspace.com

This website is one of the best. You can make friends and talk to them. There are so many applications on this site. Well, you start out with a profile and one of the apps are layouts. There are a tons of graphics, too. But, so you don't get into trouble, they don't make you put any personal information. It's one more thing to do over the summer. Grade: A

Indiana Jones the Original Adventures

Reader Number 434 wrote: This game is a great game to have in the family. You can play as Indiana and other characters. It's also a multiplayer game.I had it for Wii so you can move easier. Well, that's my opinion. I didn't get it for any other system. But I think it will be just as good. I played it with my 8 year old brother and we both want to buy it some time soon. Grade: B

Indiana Jones & the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

It earned an A because it was a good movie. It's great for any age, parents or kids, boys or girls. Personally I don't like the Indiana Jones movies, but I did like this one. I would recommend this to a friend because it is an enjoyable movie, that anyone can love. If you don't like other Indiana Jones movies, see this one because I thought it was better than the others. It is a wonderful movie to see, well at least for me. So I would recommend this to a friend. Grade: A

The Queen of Cool by Cecil Castellucci

Reader Number 433 wrote: It earned a B, because it was a worth time book. It teaches kids that you don't always have to be popular, you should do something different like the main character signed up for a zoo internship. I'm not really sure if I would recommend it because it also sets bad influences, it talks about friends going out and partying and getting drunk. On the other hand it was a book that was really interesting that I read all 65 chapters in 4 days. Grade: B

Hannah Montana Spotlight World Tour

Reader Number 433 wrote: It earned a B, because it was a great game, you got to perform and shop, but it was so short I finished it in two days. I would recommend it because there are fun mini games, and you can visit places you have completed in the world tour and perform and shop some more, such as Paris, New York, Rio and more. It is a game you can express yourself in by putting together clothes to form an outfit. If you like Hannah Montana you will love this game. Grade: B

Enchanted

Reader Number 474 wrote: It was a really good movie! I like how they took other stories that people make and mixed them together to make a movie of their own. I would recommend this movie to people ages 9 and up because some parts of the movie can be scary. Grade: A

Christy Miller Series by Robin Jone Gunn

Reader Number 474 wrote: I love the Christy Miller Series because the author makes the books so descriptive and I can understand how the main character feels. The books are so good that I am reading them over again! I would recommend this series to people ages 10 and up. Grade: A

National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets

Reader Number 474 wrote: This movie is one of my favorite movies! It's really cool because it has a lot of history in it, and people search for things that were left behind or forgotten from a certain period in history. And another thing that I like about this movie is that it is so action-packed, and daring! I would recommend this movie to anyone ages 10 and up. Grade: A

A Reformed Reformation

Reader Number 432 wrote: It was ok. I recommend it to people who enjoy ironic stories and surprise endings. Grade: C

Pass It On by J. Minter

Reader Number 432 wrote: Yes, I would recommend this book. It's really funny and the characters are so different. You'll probably get stuck on the series, also. grade: A

Pretties by Scott Westerfeld

Yes, I recommend this book. It's a really interesting book but it's quite hard to follow before you read it. I also recommend you read Uglies, the first book in the series. Grade: B

Half Moon by Eoin Colfer

Reader Number 436 wrote: Exactly, a mystery book like this can attract you anytime and anyplace. Main character, Fletcher Moon, solves some cases and mysteries for his friends. Also given an annoying nickname, Half Moon, from his school's worst kids, Red and Herod Sharkey. Sometimes in this book, you get totally lost. Sure will recommend this book to a person who likes mystery, mystery books and stuff like that. Grade: A

The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe

Reader Number 436 wrote: If you like adventure, mystery, and horror, you have to read it now. A big guy, Robinson Crusoe goes on many islands, faces many difficulties with his interest in sailing across the seas, but still survives on his own island and finally get back home. An adventure, horror, and mystery loving reader would probably not just like this book, instead, take his/her full time to read it and enjoy. This book has been a very old one and has been one of the favorites of America's great presidents like Mr. Abraham Lincoln. Grade: A

International Food Day

Reader Number 400 wrote: International Food Day was great! There was a myriad of dishes, including food from Turkey, Italy, Holland & India.

I'm a picky eater, but everything tasted wonderful. And hearing about the different foods was very interesting. Grade: A
