Roller Girl by Victoria Jamieson

I really like the storyline and illustrations. This book taught me about a new sport: roller derby. To find out more, read this graphic novel!

Would you recommend this book? If so, who would you recommend it to, and why? If not, why not?


This book was awesome. I finished it in less than a day and I couldn't put it down. I would recommend this book to older people. This book has some themes that aren't really fit for younger children. I think people who are more mature will be more able to handle some of the ideas thrown in this book.

Wonder Woman at Super hero high by Lisa Yee

 What character(s) in this book would you most and least like to be friends with, and why?


I'd most likely be friends with everyone. Katana has an interesting back story,her grandmother was the reason she went to super hero high, her grandmother was a the first woman samurai and she has to live up to that. She hopes to become the second woman samurai. Poison Ivy is an amazing character also, she loves plants and is best friends with wonder woman. Cheetah, is a bad girl with a good side. After Wonder Woman accidentally injures her, she puts wonder women on the triathlon team. Harley Quinn, is the creator of HQTV and features all students except herself goofing off. Sort of sad and her channel sometimes causes problems. Bumblebee is amazing, and sort of like antman she can transform into bumblebee size whenever needed. Last is Wonder Woman. She is the daughter of Amazion Queen Hippolyta and she excels all classes and has seventeen clubs and getting the proper amount of sleep each night. These are a few of my favorite charact ers. Read this book and tell me who yours are.

Who Was Jesse Owens? By James Buckley

The movie about Jesse Owens was better than the book because the movie is little bit deatil then the book.Thats what I think

Planet Middle School by: Nikki Grimes

If this book were made into a movie, who should play the main character, and why?
Well, I think the main character should be Nikki because the book is mainly about her. Also Nikki will be a good character because she has many personalities. She is a really good basketball player. Even though people would make fun of her and call her a tom boy. Nikki would always know that she is a good basketball player and that nothing could stop her.
