When Santa Fell to Earth


Reader Number 78 wrote: It earned an A since it was a funny, intriguing plot. All the details were magical. It was a nice quick read. I recommend it. Grade: A

Cirque Du Freak


Reader Number 445 wrote: Chilling me down to the bone, this book is one of the best starters of a series I have ever read. It also involves my favorite mythical creatures, vampires. Young Darren Shan trades his life and becomes a vampire's assistant in order to save his friend from dying from a poisonous spider bite. This book is one of the spookiest books a young horror fan like me could read. I definitely recommend it. Grade: A

The Giver


Reader Number 436 wrote: Lot of suspense & amazement. I like mostly the boy, Jonas - lives in a controlled community. The Giver - one who has memories of all times. Going to recommend this book to a fiction loving reader. Grade: A

Lord of the Flies


Reader Number 436 wrote: Lord of the Flies represents a paradox, in which the island the boys are stranded on represents the outside world. The boys create a civilization which becomes ruined due to the desire for power. I recommend this book for any reader, because it is interesting but difficult to read at times. Grade: B

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
