Knights of the Lunch Table

Being a new kid at school is hard to do, but if you can open the magical locker your life will rule! Artie King the teenage boy who isn’t good at sport but is good at video games is the main character in this book.  Artie and his big mean sister are going to a new school.  Artie will hope that no one will know that he is horrible at sports but, happily finds friends who accept him as who he is.

Artie’s soap sandwich had been taken by the bully group named the HORDE!  There is an old school legend, if you get the old locker open you are the ruler of the school.  The legend had come true by Artie King. Artie now rules the school!!! Joe from the HORDE is angry and viscous; he must beat up Artie King however Arties friend Percy stops Joe from punching Artie by challenging Joe to a dodge ball fight.  If Artie’s team wins against the HORDE they have to leave Artie’s group alone and if the HORDE wins Artie must show Joe how to open up that locker so Joe will rule the school!

Friday after school you can find out who will rule the school, the Knights or the HORDE. To find out you have to read the book and not spoil the book to anyone!

I recommended this book for kids or teenager and even adults, because it’s frightening being new to a school, reading this book would make you feel more confident to go to a new school.

Sunnyside Up by Jennifer L. Holm & Matthew Holm

Sunnyside Up Book Review

Author: Jennifer L. Holm & Matthew Holm

The future will not change in what you do, its what you do to change it.

The book takes place in Florida, California in the late 1970’s.  Where a little girl spends her whole summer with her grandfather.  Sunny thought she would be going to Disney World with her grandfather senior home.

But what Sunny doesn’t know is that she’s not the only kid at the senior home.  She meets the boy, his name is Buzz Aldrin.  Buzz loves comic books and super hero’s.  Sunny and Buzz become really good friends, Buzz introduces Sunny into comic books and super hero’s.  They loved to read comics together.

But why did Sunny go to Florida in the first place?  Will she return to Pennsylvania to be with her family?  Will Sunny be prepared of what her grandfather is going to do and say, and is Sunny ready to forgive her bother for what he’s done… Read the book to know more.

I really loved this book.  This book just wanted me to know what happened at the end of the book.  I got really excited reading the book.  I recommend this book to eight to ten year old, I think that this book will teach you what not to do in the future, it will make you chose the right path in life.

The 5th Wave By: Rick Yancey

The 5^th Wave

By: Rick Yancey

“Sometimes in my tent, late at night, I think I can here the stars scraping against the sky”

Cassie and Sam are two regular kids.  Sam is 5 years old and Cassie is 16.  Cassie goes to parties,   worries about her grads, has lots of friends and has a boy crush, Ben Parish.  That all ended when the others came, the others are aliens.  Their goal is there to wipe out all of humanity using the 4 waves.

The 1^st t wave is lights out where the others took away all of the power in the world which means no cars, no phones, no lights and no electronics.  The 2^nd wave is surfs up, where an earthquake is strong enough to shake the entire planet.  The 3^rd wave is Pestilence, where the others took one of the worst viruses in the world like Ebola and made it 20x worse and made it unstoppable. The 4^th wave is silencer; the others are now off the mother ship and begun haunting for survivors to kill them. But what is the 5^th wave?  

Cassie and Sam are now in a refugee camp and the military comes, the military say that they only have room to take the kids first and they will come back for the adults.  Sam and Cassie go onto the bus and one of the military men stops Cassie, the man seas Cassie can’t go on the bus with Sam and they start arguing.  Cassie doesn’t win and Sam gives Cassie his teddy bear, Sam tells Cassie do you promise if I give you teddy would you will keep teddy safe, Cassie promises and gives him a big hug, she gets off the bus and waves good bye. Will Cassie ever see Sam again?

I have not read the whole book but I’m more than half way through and I’ve seen the movie. Sometimes I think what if aliens are real and what if they come to earth, would they be friendly like they would share their experiences about space and teach us about their home planet or would they be evil and try to kill us and take over our home planet leaving humanity to extinction. Seeing a teenage girl like Cassie going through so many emotions like losing her mom, dad and her brother being taken to a military base not knowing what they would do to him, throughout the book you will notice once in a while Cassie would say “I promised I’ll come and get you Sam and I’ll never leave you alone again I promise”.  I love how keeps she keeps her promise when she’s a hundred miles away from Sam not knowing if he is dead or alive, no matter what would happen she will always keep her promise until she gets him back.

I recommended this book to anyone over 12-13 years old, if you like SI-FI, aliens, fighting, and a little bit of romance then this is the book for you! You can find this book in your local library and any bookstore.

Using Tumblebooks, Ms.Fazenda class watched and listened to "I Have To Go" by Robert Munsch. Here are some of their favorite parts: 1) When Andrew yelled to the grandpa, "Grandpa, do you have to go pee?". It was funny! Gage .  2) When Andrew said "No no no no no!". It sounded really low and funny! Sierra
