The Dragon in the Driveway



Author: Kate Klimo

Fiction 

Year Published: 2009

Genre: fantasy

Type: hard cover

Review: This book is the second book in the Dragon Keepers series. It is about where St George the dragon slayer takes over the forest and takes over two groups of mystical magical animals. He almost captures Emerald (the main character). Emerald's dragon keepers might have to help. I thought this was a great book. It was just as good as the first book. I would continue to read the series and if you haven't started the series then start it today!

Review: This book is about a snake named Crusher who was captured. Her only thought was to escape but when she meets the other animals she realizes that she will have to leave her new friends behind. I thought it was a really interesting and funny book. I think you will enjoy it. It was easy to read and it was pretty short for a chapter book but really good. 

Cabinet of the Earths

The Cabinet of Earths


Book: Cabinet of the Earths

Fiction 

Year Published: 2012

Genre: Fantasy

Type: hard cover

Review: I started this book and got to the third chapter. It was about a Magic Cabinet that held Earth's main components together to create Earth. I did not like it because it was very complicated and a bit too in depth. I would suggest this for Grade 8 or 9.

Review: This book is about a boy who notices things that other people miss. When dogs start disappearing people can not find them. One day Logan finds that his friends dogs have been disappearing in unusual ways. I thought it was because of people stealing them but Logan found out that the dogs were disappearing without their collars. I thought it was great. I thought it was cool and very interesting because there was a lot of science fiction and mystery.

Robinson Crusoe






Book: Robinson Crusoe

Author: Daniel Defoe

 Fiction but felt Non-Fiction

Year Published: 1719

Genre: Adventure

Type: Audio Book

Review: This book is about a man's life who was stranded on an island. I loved this book because it felt like non-fiction but it was fiction. I recommend it for ages 10 and up because it has some scary parts with cannibals and a bit of killing. It was very exciting and I hope you like it too!
