Melonhead and the Big Stink

First, before I begin, I will give you a little peek at the back of the book. Here's what Melonhead's mom made for him!

It was an index card.
"To make it fun I named it Remind-O-Rama," she said.
"What does it do?" Melonhead asked.
"Whenever you get and idea, just check the Remind-O. If you see it, don't do it."
Every rule was in a different color.

Remind-O-Rama

1. NO walking on roofs.
2. NO climbing trees.
3. NO putting things in your nose.
4. NO snakes.
5. NO rodents.
6. NO playing in our yard until after the Capitol Hill House and Garden Tour and Contest.
7. NO haircuts by nonprofessionals.

"There's nothing left," Melonhead said.
It was the list of Doom.

Now you can really see how funny this book is. In this book of the Melonhead series, Melonhead and his best pal, Sam, put their minds upon going to see the titan arum plant. It is supposedly located in New York and only blooms every seven years and they want to see it! Can they comvince one of the adults to come and see it with them? How far will they go to see it? As they come towards fat dissappointments, what other trouble will Melonhead cause? Read the quaking funny troublemaker's story to find out! This book as just as racking and exciting as the last book. If possible, Melonhead has become even more atrocious!


***I give this book a 9.3 out of 10! Great book Katy Kelly!***

Artimis Fowl and the Atlantis Complex

As you may know, Artemis Fowl is a series book and this is the seventh. Also, I believe that one should read the first book before reading the last book. Therefore, I say: 'The Artemis Fowl books are all really good. Read them in order and they will be better, as they will make more sense.'

In this book, Artemis, the criminal mastermind, has come down with the illness: the Atlantic Complex, caused by fair magic and guilt. Will Artemis be able to be his own self once again? As he goes on mind-rattling adventures with the fairy, Holly Short, and the centaur Foaly, he learns thing no normal human has ever learned before. After all, he isn't normal by a long shot, either. After all, he is a criminal mastermind (who is temporarily afraid of '4's at the moment and not exactly sane sometimes). Per usual, Eoin Colfer weaves an intricate story of Artemis Fowl. Will he come out alive at the end?

*** I give this book a 9 out of 10!***

***I give this comic a 7.9 out of 10... It was good, but can't beat the book!***

Half Moon Investigations

Half Moon is by Eoin Colfer the writer of the Artemis Fowl series. He is a terrific author and very into investigations and mysteries. I have read all of the Artemis Fowl series and have to give my highest respect to them as they were speechlessly amazing. I have asked many times to my friends before: 'If you write something like that mystery where the boy is a downright genius, are you a genius as well?' I, for one, still think that it takes a lot of brains to figure stuff out like Artemis Fowl or Half Moon. Getting beaten up while you're at it? Not the best packaging.

Half Moon Investigations is about a a boy named Fletcher (other wise known as Half Moon because of his 'short stature'). This boy, he's different. Yes. Peculiar. As the youngest detective in the world, (and a certified one at that- he even has a badge he holds dear to prove it) things are bound not to end well. Therefore, when he breaks the rule he holds as law (Bernestien's law). He puts out everything he has at stake (including... Well.. His life), at the same time macking some very unlikely friends. Will he finally be able to make his point and catch the right criminal? What if there are more than one? This novel will capture your attention and keep it until the end of the book. After all, how bad can investigations get.... Read to find out more!

***I give this book a 9.8 out of 10! ALMOST PERFECTION!!!!!!***

When You Reach Me

Rebecca Stead writes a beautiful novel about Miranda and her best friend, Sam. However, when a boy punches Sam in the stomach for no apparent reason, Sam starts shading away from Miranda. Miranda is tough and manages to pull through. Still, there are notes that keep on coming to her- mysterious anonymous notes. Can Miranda find out who is passing them? Rebecca is an amazing author and I enjoyed this book very much. Also, I found it funny that there was a mentioning of A Wrinkle in Time and I did a blog about that as well.
I did read this book twice as it will make much more sense that way. I think that this is a book is one everyone should read and if people don't... Well... They'll be missing out. In this book, Miranda struggles to understand the Laughing Man at the corner, Marcus, the boy that hit Sam, Sam, her ex-friend, and Julie, the girl that is so different from her. Secrets veiled away from our eyes and Miranda's. Will she be able to lift her veil?

Here is an important excerpt from the story:

'I feel happy. I smile and grab Mom's hands and jump up and down with her. I let go of her and raise my arms over my head and feel the audience roar louder.
I am not thinking of the wall-to-wall carpet, or the trip to China.
I am jumping up and down because at the very moment Dick Clark said the word "Go," it was like an invisible hand reached out and snatched away my veil. And almost a minute, I understood everything. When that veil isn't hanging down right in front of a person's face, a minute is long enough to realize a lot of things.'

Melonhead

Melonhead is an amazing book about a boy named Adam, (preferably Melonhead, though) and his childhood trouble making. After all, 'there's never a dull momment when your name is MELONHEAD' I find that completely true in this book! Melonhead is a classic troublemaker from losing a snake (that his mom doesn't know about) in the house, getting his foot stuck in a tree and jumping on other people's roofs. After all, it is a shortcut! Melonhead will have you laughing in stitches. Melonhead is also great at doing other things than getting into trouble. He can invent things! He's a great inventor, although his inventions usually include either his best friend, Sam's, mother getting angry, Melonhead's mother getting angry, or blowing something up. Other than that, it's all good!


***I give this book a 9 out of 10. Its was purely epic!***

***I give this book a 8.5 out of 10***

I will finish with a little from the book.

"The foolishness of God is wiser than men; the weakness of God is stronger than men. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called, but God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty. And base things of the world, and things which are despised, bath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are."

Runny Babbit

Runny Babbit is a silly book with words that are mixed up, such as Runny Babbit (also known as Bunny Rabbit in our world).
'So if you say, "Let's bead a rook

You're talkin' Runny Babbit talk
Just like mim and he.

In this world you will meet Toe Jurtle, Skertie Gunk, Rirty Dat, Dungry Hog, Sneery Jake, and many others whom of which all speak a weird language of their own. Their exciting world is full of fun and words! Can you decode all the letters and get a little sense out of it all?

***I give this book a 8.5 out of 10. Breat Gook!

Looks like I caught Runny Babbit fever!

Let's lind with a pittle poem.

Kugs and Hisses

Runny said, "I'm lonesome,
I feel so glad and soomy.
I need some kugs and hisses-
Now, who's gonna give 'em to me?

"I will," said Polly Dorkupine,
"'Cause you're acute as a rug in a bug."
Said Runny, "Well, I'll kake the tiss,
But never hind the mug.
