Dallin's Book Reviews

Dallin has read so many interesting books this year.  Some not so interesting but worth mentioning.  I wanted to post some reviews for him for future reference.  So here goes the list of books and reviews done by Dallin The Great!!!

1.  Swiss Family Robinson by Johann David Wyss

Review:  This book was a great book!  I really liked when they built a luxury treehouse for calm days and I also liked when they built a giant cavehouse.  It was really cool when they trained the ostriches and the hawk.

I highly recommend this book to everyone that can read chapter books up until your dead.

Lesson learned:  They needed to work together to survive.


       2. Black Beauty by Anna Sewell
This was a great book!! I liked how fast Black Beauty was and she was able to save someone's life and almost kill her drunk rider.  I recommend this book to everybody.

    3.  Henry and Ribsy by Beverly Cleary
This was a very exciting book!! I loved when he went fishing with his Dad and his friends and caught a giant Salmon with his bare hands.  I definately recommend this book.

The Knights of The Right by M'Lin Rowly

Please Mommy, read us more....  What Mom doesn't love to hear this from their kids.  My kids have loved these books especially my 6 year old.  My oldest has read all of them twice.   I have loved reading them to my kids.  Even though they do talk about some heavy issues like drugs and what not.  It's about some kids who meet with King Arthur to earn different pieces of armor when they make good choices.  These books instigated so many discussions about not cheating, telling the truth, not taking prescription medications and many more things.  My kids really loved these and So did I.  I'm glad that we came across these books at Deseret Book.  The best of all is that they were written by a high school student.  Definately, inspirational.

Eragon by Christopher Paolini

Book Review:  By Georgie Porgie
The author was only 15 when he wrote this book.  I really liked this book.  Even though it's a pretty long book it's worth the time.  My favorite part was when he found the egg.  I think the author did a very good job describing everything.  I recommend it to people who've been reading for at least two years.  I'm excited to read the next ones.

SPIRIT ANIMALS

Hooray for Georgie Porgie!!!  He recently finished the Special Edition of this series.  He loved it!! He said  "It was amazing".  I think he has enjoyed all of these books immensely.  He says they're about kids that when they turn eleven years old,  they drink a special magic potion, otherwise they might get sick or go mad.  This potion sometimes yields the result of a natural bond to a certain animal  so that you don't get sick.  The kids begin to have powers with those animals and can call animals into a passive state.

This book was mainly about the great beasts of Eridas.  It tells about their characteristics and how they fight.   Needless to say  I think this is a great book for Boys and Girls ages 8-12 years old.  I'mm glad to find a series that I think all my kids will enjoy.
