NOTE FROM THE EDITOR: One of the reasons I write this blog is that being able to share my thoughts on books with other readers really motivates me to keep reading and, (I hope) also motivates my followers and other readers as well. So of course when my eight year old cousin asked me if I would post his proudly completed new book review on my blog, I agreed! I can't wait for you to see below this review written by my cousin Jasper who is an eight year old book addict and aspiring writer! I am so glad he loves reading and hope that this will inspire him to keep it up! He is very excited to be sharing his views on two of his most recent favorite chapter books! Let's get onto his reviews: Dear fellow reader, A Boy Called Bat had a very big emotional impact. The illustrations for A Boy Called Bat are rich and fit with Elana Arnold's writing. They really stand out and show the feelings the characters are having. For instance there is a picture of Bat becoming mad. The text explains the picture well. Towards the middle, there is a scene where Bat's friend is washing a dog but the dog scrambles out of the washing tub. I connect because I've had the same experience with my own dog! I also connect because Bat has a pet skunk and he adored the skunk. I have a pet dog named Tasha and I adore her. Me and Bat are a lot alike! The characters in A Boy Called Bat are really cheerful in the story. Throughout the book, you really get a sense of their personalities. I loved getting to read Bat's story. I recommend A Boy Called Bat for all readers. Sincerely, Excited Reader Jasper

Hello everyone. It's Phoebe back with another post on I'm A Book Addict. Today I'm going to be talking about a YA novel called Cinder by Marissa Meyer. I just finished reading this book and absolutely loved it so I'm eager to share my thoughts with you and hear your opinions in the comment box below:) Let's get started!
Cinder at it's most basic form is the futuristic twisted retelling of the fairy tale Cinderella. The story follows a girl named Cinder who is a cyborg which basically means that she was human but because of an accident, in order to save her life, the surgeons had to make some of her parts robotic. In addition to having a robotic hand and leg, a control panel has also been installed in Cinder's brain allowing her to feel and move her robotic parts. Because she's a cyborg, she is an outcast among her community and her stepmother does not care about her. Cinder is forced to work as a mechanic in order to pay the bills for her stepmother Adri's family. Since she has access to endless information on the spot due to the top notch technology in her brain's control panel, Cinder has a reputation of being the best mechanic in all of "New Beijing" and one day Kai, the prince of the commonwealth, comes to her shop asking her to fix his broken androids. Kai's urgent tone leads Cinder suspect that this android holds great royal importance. Cinder starts daydreaming about attending the upcoming royal ball with Prince Kai now that she knows him personally, but she shoves these thoughts aside as she remembers that she is only a mechanic and, while Kai doesn't know it, a cyborg--a burden on society. She could never attend the ball. If she was still thinking about the ball, those thoughts dwindle when her younger stepsister and only friend Peony gets struck by the plague that has been devastating all of Earth for decades. Adri is convinced that it was Cinder's fault that Peony fell ill and so Adri sends Cinder to a research institute where Cinder will basically have to give up her body for plague research which no participant has ever survived. But scientists soon realize that something is rather unusual about Cinder. I loved this book so much and absolutely recommend it to anyone age 12 to adult (it can get a bit intense at times). Now onto my thoughts about this book. Some of this may be a bit spoiler-y because there's a lot to talk about regarding plot twists so those of you who have yet to read this book may want to leave this post, read the book, and come back to join our discussion:) SPOILERS--SPOILERS--SPOILERS--SPOILERS--SPOILERS--SPOILERS--SPOILERS.

SPOILERS--SPOILERS--SPOILERS--SPOILERS--SPOILERS--SPOILERS--SPOILERS. SPOILERS--SPOILERS--SPOILERS--SPOILERS--SPOILERS--SPOILERS--SPOILERS. Okey dokey! Starting off, I want to talk about the two "major plot twists" in this story: 1-That Cinder is lunar. 2-That Cinder is Princess Selene. I have to say I guessed that she was lunar fairly early on and I guessed that she was Princess Selene pretty much as soon as they were talking about her. However, this did not make me enjoy this book any less because everything else about this book was so far from predictable, you know? I think the fact that the story was set in a very different world from the one we know today and the fact that Meyer uncovers more about this world as we go along helped me not be too disappointed about guessing the plot twists. One thing I want to mention is just how stinkin' cool Cinder was as a main character! I am legit so impressed at how well thought out all of her technology was and oh my goodness I loved the idea of a Google-to-the-tenth-power retina display and the idea of embedded ID chips was so intriguing to me. Another thing I enjoyed about this book was the political aspect of it. I enjoyed the idea of an Earth alliance and I liked getting the inside view of the government of New Beijing! I was so attached to all of the characters by the end of the book. I was rooting for Cinder, I was terrified of Levana, I was frustrated with Kai when he didn't immediately accept her after finding out the truth, I was confused by Dr. Erland (i mean at first I thought the doctor was a complete loon), etc. I thought Meyer did an incredible job of making this world, foreign as it is, feel totally real. What did you like about this book? Did you guess the plot twists? Did that hinder your enjoyment of it? I'd love to know!! -Phoebe NOTE FROM THE EDITOR: Hey bookworms! Please enjoy a book review written by the newest addition to the I'm A Book Addict team, Mia Bunch! Let's get onto her post:) Astrid Lindgren has written various books about Swedish families, such as Lotta Leaves Home, and probably the most beloved of her works, the Pippi Longstocking books. But today I’m here to tell you about my favorite, (drumroll please!) The Children of Noisy Village! This is the my second favorite book ever and I also confess I’ve read it multiple times over so I can’t wait to share my thoughts with you! The story takes place in a sleepy Swedish village that houses 6 sneaky children by the names of Lisa, Karl, Bill, Olaf, Britta, and Anna. These children are funny, cheerful, and always ready for something to do. This delightful story runs through a whole year in the Noisy Village countryside, and like no other storyteller can, Lindgren describes Christmas, Lisa’s favorite birthday, camping under the stars in homemade tents, and 16 other chapters of vigorous fun. The chapter I enjoy the most is called Anna and I Go Shopping. When Mother asks Lisa to go shopping for her, Lisa heartily agrees. But when she can’t find a pencil to write down a list she reassures her mother that she can remember it all. In fact, she is completely confident that she can trust her brains. Just then, Anna rushes in to come shopping with her. She also went through the same “can’t find a pencil” situation, and has more groceries to remember! Lisa agrees for company. Soon, Olaf’s mother stops them and asks them to buy her some items at the shop. They even stop by Grandfather’s house to ask if he wants anything. He requests a bottle of camphor liniment. Even more groceries! In addition, all the mothers want a piece of bologna of the best quality. Can Lisa and Anna remember the mental list of groceries? Check out Chapter 18 to find out! This cheerful book about six Swedish kids weaves a inspiring saga into anybody’s heart. The Children of Noisy Village is an easy, satisfaction guaranteed read for kids in kindergarten to high-school. I absolutely recommend grabbing this timeless tale! -Mia Did you enjoy the post? Leave a comment letting us know you were visiting our blog! We love to hear from you! Hey everyone! It's Phoebe. I know it's been a while since there's been an I'm A Book Addict blog post but today I'm back bringing you a new book review on a novel that I finished recently called The Ark, the Reed, and the Fire Cloud by Jenny Cote. Let's get into the review!
THE STORY. This story imagines how the animals aboard Noah's ark got there in the first place and how they managed to live in an ark far from their natural habitats for over a hundred nights. It follows the journeys of various different animals (yes, talking ones) from all over the world as they heed the Maker's call to follow the Fire Cloud to Noah's ark. The main animal we follow is a lovable Scottish terrier named Max who has no idea where he's going or why other than to follow the Maker's Fire Cloud. Among other problems, an especially hard challenge comes when the Fire Cloud moves over a big channel of water, far too long to swim across. Max comes up with an idea to ask his old friend Craddock, an English Whale, to carry them across. Once they've crossed, Max realizes that not being able to cross the water will also pose a problem for a lot of other creatures trying to follow the Fire Cloud so Max enlists two birds, Crinnan and Bethoo whose job would be to keep a look out up above for any animals needing to cross and then alert Craddock who would transport the creatures smoothly on his big, rough back. Continuing along the way we meet other animals coming from all around the world, all following this mysterious sign from the Maker. One of those animals is an intelligent French cat named Liz. Max and Liz become the leaders of a group with the animals they've met and come to be friends for the remainder of their journey. Liz's natural ability to find a logical explanation for everything and Max's faith in the Maker prove to be a good combination of traits for leading the group through many obstacles including escaping wolves who are notorious for getting into mischief. Finally, after getting through many different challenges through a combination of logic and faith, the creatures make it to the Ark where they begin the long journey, not knowing where they are going or why. Meanwhile, Noah and his sons Shem, Ham, and Japeth are finishing the final preparations of the ark and preparing for the arrival of the animals. We see the pain and heart ache that Noah's family feel as they know they'll have to leave their friends to destruction after trying to plead them to believe and warn them of the coming flood. But God's message to Noah had been clear. Noah had now followed God's instructions and would be in charge of finding ways to keep the animals healthy during the long journey. Once all of the chosen animals are aboard the ark, a series of strange events start to take place and it seems as though someone is out to get Noah and his family. The animals have come into a series of issues like how will they keep from getting bored or growing lazy? They have to solve these by themselves since the humans can't understand them very well. As if all of this wasn't enough, Max, who is now being treated like a hero by all of the animals on the ark because of his idea that ended up providing transportation over the water for all of these creatures, is starting to turn to whatever voice is telling him what he wants to hear rather than relying on the true voice of the Maker's. But what will happen when Max is needed to save Noah's family? WHAT I LIKED. WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE. I LOVED this book and I'm so glad I read the book. However, if I'm going to be picky, I do have a few notes. For me, there were some points in the middle of the book during the animals' journey that just didn't have very much action or plot so that didn't keep my interest very much although when I came to the exciting parts, I was so completely hooked. I also would've loved even more chapters from Noah and his family's perspective. My favorite thing by far about this book was just the concept--how imaginative it was while still completely making sense and holding true to what we know about the real story in Genesis. I would for sure recommend this book. I can see any reader aged 7 to age 16 enjoying it and also it'd be a great read aloud option for families! I hope you enjoyed this post! Be sure to comment down below so that I know you visited the blog! When you comment, I'd love it if you could include what book you're reading currently because I don't know about you but I'm always looking for great reads to add to my "to be read" list. Have a great day and keep on reading! Phoebe (Your Exec. Worm:) Hello everyone! It’s Phoebe back with another post for you! Today I would like to discuss the character of Wendy Darling from Peter Pan. As some of you may know, a couple of weeks ago I played Wendy in a middle school production of the play and because of this she’s been on my mind a lot lately so I thought I would share with you a character profile on from what I’ve found in reading the script and in being familiar with the original book and movie. Let’s get onto this!
Wendy Darling is the twelve or thirteen year old girl who goes with Peter to Neverland and finds herself stepping into the role of mother to the clan of orphans called lost boys of whom Peter is the leader. Wendy is quite pleased with the responsibility as she has always thought of herself as motherly and already has experience with taking care of and telling stories to her younger brothers John and Michael. Stricken with some feelings for Peter, she asks if, since she’s the mother, he would be the father. Peter agrees “so long as it’s only make believe”. Throughout the show we see that Peter is somewhat conflicted about whether to love Wendy as she does him. Love is such a grown-up emotion to him that he finds it very hard to participate in although we see that he does care for the lost boys, Wendy, Michael and John. But even when he was playing the father figure, in the book, Peter declared to Wendy “but you will be my mother too”. After a while, Wendy decides that she must leave Neverland with her brothers and go back home. One major question that I’ve kind of wrestled with in trying to figure out Wendy as a character is why does she seem so perfectly inclined to fly to Neverland with a strange boy she just met? There are a few possible answers or explanations to this question. First off, in the book Neverland is supposed to represent imagination. It is described as a place that children go to when they dream and in the beginning of the book, Wendy and her brothers already are vaguely familiar with Neverland and Wendy even has a slight recollection of Peter when she wakes up in the middle of the night and finds him in the nursery. So maybe Neverland and this strange boy in her room aren’t all as foreign to her as we think it is. Plus, we see that Wendy is on the brink of growing up--in the movie, her father is going to make her leave the nursery, and we see that Wendy is very proper and mature. Perhaps seeing Peter and being invited to a place where she will never grow up stirs up some feelings about not wanting to grow up or being sad that she may have to leave behind the world of stories and endless imagination. Though this is a pretty deep theory, I’ve found that it’s hinted at throughout the show and it’s especially evident in her feelings for Peter. Now, while this may seem like a love story it’s much more than that. One way I can illustrate that is by posing the question, why would Wendy leave Peter if it’s clear she loves him? Maybe Peter Pan is supposed to represent Wendy’s childhood and in deciding to leave Peter, that’s a metaphor for deciding to grow up. We see that Wendy’s always had a dream of being a mother (this is evident from the very beginning of the story where she and John are “playing at being mother and father”), and if she was to stay with Peter, she would probably have to give up on that dream as Peter is unable to grow up. Wendy wants someone to love her in a way that is too much of a grown up emotion for Peter to want to or perhaps even be able to give. If Wendy had stayed with Peter Pan, I don’t think it would’ve ended up as a perfect fairy tale ending that we think of if we say that we wanted Peter and Wendy to end up together. I think if Wendy had stayed, her role would still have been to care for Peter and the lost boys, nothing more. And in the book we are told that Peter Pan “disposes of” anyone in his clan that show signs of growing up which would mean Wendy is in trouble. Although in Neverland Wendy gets to pretend to be the mother, it just isn’t enough to satisfy a deeply set desire to be a real one someday. And maybe getting to play at being the mother made her realize even more how much she wanted to be one. Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed this type of post and if you did, please leave a comment below letting us know and we may upload more of these character profiles. Hi readers! This is Linden, presenting another of my favorite books. Seriously, I was obsessed with The Penderwicks (and the rest of the Penderwicks series) for a whole summer a few years back. And after tons of rereads, it still holds its place as one of my top 10.
The first Penderwicks book starts off when four sisters, their single dad (their mom died a few years before), and their dog are in desperate need of a vacationing spot. The beach house they usually rented had been sold, so they head into the Berkshire Mountains in western Massachusetts for a new vacation spot: a nice, cozy little cottage. But when they get there, they discover it’s not just a cozy little cottage - it's a cozy little cottage next to a majestic mansion surrounded with mazes of elegant gardens, and the owner of the mansion turns out to be none other than the formidable Mrs. Brenda Tifton --snobby, selfish, and stiletto-heeled. If a vacation spent next to a snobby, uptight heiress sounds like no fun, you would be right. But there's a catch. Mrs. Tifton has a son-- Jeffrey-- who's just the right age to be included in all the Penderwick girls’ (mis)adventures… I love books with vivid and relatable characters, and I loved this book because the Penderwick girls were just that-- they truly feel like girls you might just meet sometime. I also appreciate a good plot, and while there’s no mystery to solve in this book, there are a whole lot of adventures: some exciting, some cozy, a few sad or bittersweet… but most of them hilariously funny! I almost guarantee you will read parts out loud to whoever happens to be around you. But my favorite thing about the Penderwicks? After reading this book, I was eager to read the other books in the series: The Penderwicks on Gardam Street, The Penderwicks at Point Mouette, and The Penderwicks in Spring. And at some point through the books, I really felt like I knew the four sisters personally. I laughed with them and shook my head over them, fully knowing every quirk of their personalities and seeing those personalities come out in their stories. Needless to say, I dearly love these books because to me, the characters are more than just characters: they're kinda like friends. Hello everyone! It's Phoebe welcoming you back to another post. Today I wanted to write a post reviewing Stella by Starlight, a novel by Sharon M. Draper. I recently read this book and I enjoyed it a ton! I've left out any big spoilers from the synopsis but there are plenty of captivating plot twists that'll keep you hooked once you start reading it. Let's get onto the post! Stella Mills is an eleven years old living in Bumblebee North Carolina, a town facing severe segregation in 1932, with her mama, papa, and little brother. Stella and her family are living with the "unwritten rules" that Negros were expected to follow: take care of your own problems and take care of each other but don't mess with white people. Stella isn't allowed into some stores because of the color of her skin which she finds awfully unfair and confusing as other stores have their doors wide open to anybody. Some white people are kind to her like Ms. Cooper or Mr. O'Brian, but some are downright mean and treat her and her family as if they were nobodies. Stella also finds herself going to school in a worn down old schoolhouse with every negro child in town aged six through seventeen in the same room with only one teacher. Despite the fact that the white children have a shiny new school books and supplies and different classrooms, Stella likes her teacher Mrs. Grayson, loves learning and fueling her raging curiosity, and enjoys the company of her classmates and neighbors whom she has grown up with. That's really the only constant in Stella's life: community. The whole negro side of town is there for each other, comes together to tell stories and share food, and lends a helping hand when a family needs it the most. To Stella, the hatred and the kindness all sort of even out. The Klan hasn't caused any trouble lately, and people are moving in the right direction. But one night, Stella and her little brother JoJo witness the flames of a burning cross and the white robes of men on horses--Klansmen. With uncertainty and fear in the world now bigger than ever, will Stella decide to choose bravery? Because, after all, "What's the sense of living if you're ashamed of yourself?". Throughout the story, Stella is determined to write. She sneaks out at midnight to write by starlight, in secret, where she won't have to worry about what anyone thinks of her and she won't let self doubt creep into her mind like it does in the daytime. Writing helps Stella fight fear and build up bravery which she'll need in these chaotic times. I found this story really compelling. I love the characters that Draper so wonderfully illustrated and I felt a real connection to many of the characters because they were very relatable. I won't give anything away but there was one tender moment in the book that brought tears into my eyes. I especially loved how Draper gave such a sense of love within the families of the African American community. Also, the writing is so wonderful and captivating that it made me feel like I was right there in Bumblebee along with the characters (I guess that's part of what I mean when I say it's a relatable story). Although it's a fantastic book to read anytime, February is Black History Month and this is an amazing historical fiction book on that exact topic so I would totally recommend this book to anyone (probably age 9 and older). Thank you so much for reading this post! I'll see you next time. -Phoebe Have YOU read Stella by Starlight? What did you think? What was your favorite character? Would you recommend this book to your friends? LET US KNOW IN THE COMMENT SECTION BELOW! Hey book addicts! It's Phoebe back with another post just for you. So I'm in middle school and though there are many novels that are geared just for these junior high grades (6th-8th), it can be hard to find great age appropriate literature with enough plot to keep me engaged and relatable but complex characters. It can be a hassle to go through bunches of books to find one that meets your standards as a great novel. Well I know the struggle and today I'm bringing you my absolute favorite middle school book (I would also totally recommend this book for high-schoolers.) It's called The Wednesday Wars by Gary D. Schmidt.
Okey dokey, let's get right into this! Holling Hoodhood is a seventh grader trying to survive the 1967-'68 school year at Camillo Junior High in Long Island, New York. First off, his class is practically made up of Jews and Catholics, Holling being the only presbyterian and this means that on Wednesday afternoons, when the Catholics attend mass and the Jews attend Hebrew school, Holling is left alone with his teacher Mrs. Baker, who he is sure hates him very much for being the only one keeping her at the school throughout the afternoon. He becomes even more convinced of this when Mrs. Baker starts assigning him long, confusing, Shakespeare plays. After reading them, though, he is surprised to find that he really enjoys the plays and the compelling language that comes with them. He starts to understand Mrs. Baker more when he learns that her husband is fighting in the Vietnam war. Even aside from his time with Mrs. Baker on Wednesdays, juggling middle school and the relationships that come with it is hard for Holling, especially since he must stay on his best behavior at all times because his father is the founder and head architect at Hoodhoods and Associates and is obsessed with making sure that no one in his family messes up his opportunities to get more business. The story follows him not only managing the adventures of middle school but also learning to get out from underneath the shadow of his father. I love The Wednesday Wars because it has a lot of plot and also you get nuggets of historical fiction from the time period that he book is set in such as Holling's sister Heather wanting to become a flower child and also some historical events take place during the book such as the shooting of Martin Luther King. But, although history adds another level to the story, there isn't an overwhelming amount of it which is great for those who aren't crazy about history. This book left me wanting more and kept me totally engaged throughout. I would totally recommend the novel to anybody age 10 and over. Thanks for reading the post! I hope you enjoyed it. Please be sure to leave me a comment down below and let me know if you've read The Wednesday Wars and also if you have any other favorite middle school novels! -Phoebe (your executive worm:) Hey book addicts! It's Phoebe back with another post for you! I know it's been a super long time since I've written, and for that I'm really sorry--we couldn't keep up with posting and so we had to take a break but WE'RE BACK!! And we're here to stay!
Although I took a break from blogging, I did not take a break from reading! Over the holidays I read a novel called The Girl who Owned a City by O. T. Nelson. So, today, I'll be giving you all my thoughts on the book--what it's about, what I liked, what I didn't, etc. Let's jump into this! THE STORY When a fatal virus that kills everyone over the age of twelve infects the earth, ten year old Lisa and her little brother Todd along with every other child in the world, are left with out parents to protect and provide for them. Without grown ups, everything shuts down because no adult is left to run, produce, or sell anything. Lisa and Todd are becoming desperate, food is spoiling fast without a working refrigerator and even dry goods are becoming sparse. Like all of the other children in Glenn Ellyn, Illinois, they are so far surviving off of stealing food and supplies from empty homes but there are too many children and not enough supplies. Some kids are even resorting to breaking in and steal what little supplies are left from the "child homes" where their peers are still living. Gangs are forming within neighborhoods to try and overthrow the other children to get their food. But Lisa knows there must be a better way. The story follows Lisa as she takes charge and works to make her neighborhood of Grand Avenue into a strong militia to protect themselves from the powerful and quickly growing gangs. MY THOUGHTS I absolutely loved this book! Nelson's writing is descriptive and captivating, keeping the reader hooked--(though I didn't give them away for you in the summary above, there were many, many, plot twists that kept me eager to read more). The characters are very relatable and it's fun to try and think what you would've done if you had been in Lisa's situation. Would you have taken charge? Would you have been too frightened to do anything? Would you have joined a gang and stolen from other children or would you have, like Lisa, put yourself in danger in order to keep your morals? (By the way, if you have read the book or once you do read it, I would love to hear your answers to these questions in the comments below!) I would definitely recommend reading this book! I WOULD RECOMMEND... Although I didn't find the story very intense, the whole idea of a world with no adults and gangs forming left and right can be a bit scary. I think the ages that are best for this book would be 11+. If you're an adult and haven't read the book yet, I would still recommend you read it because it's such great literature and such a creative, compelling, story. SEE YOU NEXT TIME! We are so glad to be back. Be sure to leave us a comment so that we know you're back, too! -Phoebe (your executive worm) Hi guys! It’s Rose and I have a new book review for you today. This review is on a book I found on Amazon called Botanical Line Drawing by Peggy Dean. This book is not a reading book, it is a drawing book. To be more specific, it is about easily drawing plants, flowers, cacti, leaves, and more. The reason I picked out this book is because I love to doodle. I doodle on my notes, letters, homework, and practically anything I can get my hands on but the the thing is, as much as I love it, I really stink at drawing. I can barely even draw stick figures so you can just imagine how bad my doodles must look. I am really envious of people who can just whip out a sheet of paper and pencil and doodle something randomly and it looks just as good as the Mona Lisa. So I thought this book might help me to someday do the same. When the book first arrived I just started flipping through it and it took all of my will power not to grab a pencil and start trying out the easy five-step drawings right then and there. One thing I really appreciate about this book is that below each design is a small box where you can try to draw it without having to scrounge up paper. I like this because it is not whole blank pages like some drawing books have where you pay ten dollars for the content another ten for the blank pages to “practice”. The little boxes are just the right amount of space to be convenient but not make it a coloring book. Though I think this book is great for beginners like me, if you are already great at drawing plants, this book is probably not for you because it is for those just starting out. Overall I am very pleased with this book and glad I bought it. You should buy this book if… -You love to draw but aren’t very good at it yet -You need a creative outlet -You're already a good artist but want to explore new types of art (like line drawing) -You would like to spruce up your doodles -You need a fun and creative coffee table book Below I attached several pictures for fun. The first picture is some of the leaves I tried. No hate though because as I have said, I stink at drawing and these were my very first drawings. The second picture is of my drawing of a “flower” and an improved version of that flower with help from the book.
Sorry for the inconvenience of having to download the drawings but it's the only way we can include them here:).
Have a great day! Rose COMMENT OF THE DAY: Do you love to doodle and, if so, what's your favorite thing to doodle? |
