August Reviews from our Online Book Club

Dogman: Fetch-22 by Dav Pilkey, Review by Safiya

I got this for my birthday. It's about a dog and fairy who is called the fair fairy, but she isn't fair at all. She gets fired from her job and walks through a lake where she meets these tadpoles that have super powers. I also liked how there is a mini story at the start.

Rated: 4/5 Reallys "I didn't like the start because there was no action but it got better"

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, Review by Noah

There was a massive war between the districts and the Capitol. In order to punish the districts the Capitol created The Hunger Games. There are 12 districts and one girl and one boy are chosen from each to fight to the death. There can only be one victor. Katniss' little sister Primrose is selected to fight and so Katniss volunteers so she can replace her. During the games Peter admits his undying lover for her and Katniss has to keep up the illusion that she feels the same so they can keep getting gifts from sponsors in the Capitol.

Rated: 5/5 Reallys "I love the action and gory, intense events"

Eleven by Tom Rogers, Review by Zara

It's about this girl who really wants a dog but they are too much responsibility. She daydreams a lot! I'm still reading it.

Rated 2.5/5 Reallys so far "I don't like the writing style very much. The author uses too many descriptive words like cheetos and sweat" 

Maximum Ride: The angel experiment by James Patterson, Review by Jaxon

It's about these kids whose parents gave them away for money. They end up being experimented on and given angel DNA. They live in this dog box. until one day when they escape, but they have to deal with The Institute...

Every chapter is about 2-3 pages, which is a bit ridiculous.

Rated: 5/5 Reallys "Funny and emotional"

These scientists have a capsule that lands on the roof, but it gets stopped by Buddy. Garret is good at cooking. Meta steep. Skunky is working for Monkey but secretly want to take him down and be king of the woods.
