Review: Breadcrumbs

Breadcrumbs by Anne Ursu

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I'm not really a fantasy fan in general, but I liked how it alternated from realistic to fantasy with different chapters at the beginning. I was hooked to see what happens all the way through, but the ending was a let down. I was hoping for more explanation or a slightly longer resolution. I think my students will like it, though and I'm interested to see what other fantasy fans thought.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid - Cabin Fever

by Jeff Kinney I was so lucky to get the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid book in right before Thanksgiving and it wasn't quite ready for the shelf so I brought it home to read it. It was a great day to start my Thanksgiving. It's another fun story about Greg Hefley and his diary of some time in the winter. My favorite part was when he used mascara to paint a 6-pack on his tummy to look like he did lots of sit-ups. What was your favorite part?

The Lightning Thief

by Rick Riordan The first in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series is pretty good. It mixes a current story with ancient greek mythology. I was never a fan of mythology, but this story kept me reading until the end. I enjoyed the twists and turns and would recommend it to any age 3rd grade and up!
