MY REVIEW: I loved these books. There is going to be a 5th book soon and I can’t wait to read it. I give them five stars. I have read all of them twice. It’s a steampunk, adventure and action series. My favourite scene is when Richy finds out about his childhood and my favourite character is Franklin because he’s so unpredictable.

MY REVIEW: I loved that Good’s parents were orangutans and that the hobgoblin pretended to be waiting for them and not at all in trouble! HA-HA!! The hobgoblin was my favorite because he wanted to be the brave hero!! If you like fantasy you will love this book just like I did!!

ABOUT THE BOOK: warning: not for the squeamish. This book contains all you need to know about the Greek Gods! Includes the 12 Olympians and extras!!

MY REVIEW: I like that with each god you learn about their weapons, how they got their weapons, and how life began with them, and how Earth came to be. Like the young authors conference it was so fun to read it I have no way to describe it. You have to read it yourself.

HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE

TITLE: HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE

AUTHOR: J.K. ROWLING

SERIES: HARRY POTTER

 BOOK#: 4

ABOUT THE BOOK: Because Harry is not of age his name should not come out of the goblet of fire… But it did! Now he has to compete in the triwizard tournament! He battles dragons, meets mermaids, and last but not least does a maze which could lead to certain death. Can he make it through it all? Read to find out!

MY REVIEW: I loved the part where Neville yelled ‘I’ve killed Harry Potter!’ Because he gave Harry the gillyweed and couldn’t see Harry in the murky water. In this book Harry meets Voldemort face to face and learns how dangerous the dark lord is. This book is really action packed!  

HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN

TITLE: HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN

After he gets his stuff for his 3rd year at Hogwarts he gets on the train to Hogwarts and meets the new defense against dark arts teacher Professor Lupin.  

MY REVIEW: I loved this book because Harry actually got to know the teacher. I was on the edge of my seat when the dementors attacked. Literally! I nearly jumped out of skin!!!! The most exciting Harry Potter book yet!

HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS

AUTHOR: J.K.Rowling

SERIES: Harry Potter

BOOK #: 2

ABOUT THE BOOK: A mysterious house elf named Dobby has come to warn Harry Potter about a plot to kill him. Is it really true? Read to find out! 

MY REVIEW: I liked the way when Harry finds out he’s parsletounge everyone stays out of his way and the twins ( Fred and George ) are making silly jokes! And when Professor Lockheart tries to erase Harry and Ron’s mind but erases his own. This HARRY POTTER book is so exciting it won’t disappoint any Harry Potter fan.

HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHERS STONE

TITLE: HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHER’S STONE

AUTHOR: J.K. ROWLING

SERIES: HARRY POTTER

BOOK#: 1

ABOUT THE BOOK: Who is this Hagrid? Is what he says true? Is Harry Potter really a wizard? No I mean is Harry really a very famous wizard? Read to find out!

MY REVIEW:  Exactly what this book has and I think every good book needs is the main character (Harry Potter) to be the bravest character, and for another (Hermione Granger) to be the smartest, and the last one (Ron Weasley) to be the comic relief. As the trio tries to stop Professor Snape from finding the Philosopher’s Stone, they face magical forces, magical enchantments, flying keys, and even giant chess games! I was blown away!!!! For kids who love fantasy I would recommend  this book from my NEW FAVE SERIES!

BOOK: #3

ABOUT THE BOOK: The Captive Prince is a comic book about a crown prince (who is kidnapped). Meanwhile an ettin, a norker, and a girl are looking for firewood when Dessa finds someone who has been kidnapped. Who is he?

MY REVIEW: A wonderful book with lots of drama and lots of ACTION! I can’t wait to read # 1 and # 2. I wonder why they’re called “three thieves” though!
