John brownridge

Hey guys! This is just a quick question. DO you think I should give Albrek's Tomb another chance? I stopped reading it, but I don't know if I should start again. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, go read my review of Albrek's Tomb)
Thanks!

The Mysterious Benedict Society

By Marlow Tracy For many of my elementary school years, The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart was my absolute favorite book. It had everything: solvable puzzles, engaging narration, quirky characters, and an adventurous plotline. Recently, I gave the book a re-read to see if it actually lived up to my childhood self’s admiration. The answer is a definite yes. The Mysterious Benedict Society begins when Reynie Muldoon, an orphan with a knack for solving puzzles, finds an advertisement in the newspaper that leads him to take a series of mind-boggling tests. Upon completion, he learns that he, along with four other children, has been recruited by a man called Mr. Benedict to infiltrate the Learning Institute for the Very Enlightened, or L.I.V.E, an academic institute with seemingly sinister intent. He joins Sticky Washington, a runaway who remembers everything he reads, Kate Wetherall, an acrobat with a red bucket, and Constance contraire,...

The Long Walk by Stephen King

By Kate A. Stephen King's dystopian novel, The Long Walk, is about an annual competition where 100 teenage boys must walk at a steady pace of 4 mph until only one of them remains. In the Long Walk, each boy is given three warnings, and after all their warnings have been used, they are "ticketed." Readers learn early on in the book that buying a ticket means you are shot by one of the soldiers riding alongside the walkers in half-tracks. The last boy standing at the end of the Walk wins "The Prize", which is anything they want for the rest of their lives. The story is narrated by Ray Garraty, one of the participants in the Long Walk. Ray is from Maine, where the Walk starts and most of the story takes place. I have read a few of Stephen King's novels and short stories before The Long Walk , but this book was different. Unlike many of his stories, this book didn't involve anything supernatural, but there was an element of psychologic...

The Phantom Tollbooth Review - Jashan Takhar

Due to popular opinion among my classmates at the time, I expected The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster to be a "really awesome good book" as a 5th grader several years ago. I read it, understood some of it, did not love it, and forgot it. The older-style writing bored me very quickly and I had thought back then that to fully enjoy a book it had to be fifteen years or younger. Now, going back to this children's classic, I can now comprehend the genius world-building and execution of The Phantom Tollbooth . Milo is a normal boy, who is extremely bored one day when he finds a strange package addressed to him that he does not know the contents of. He finds a tollbooth that he has to put together inside as well as a small electric car. He finishes the tollbooth, steps inside, and is immediately transported to the Lands Beyond. He finds himself suddenly driving on a road, an activity that he enjoys and thus continues doing. Little does he know that he is about to make new ...
