“I took hold of that scourge -filled ship and crushed it between my limbs, hurtling it into the second sun, the red one that gave me strength. But I was too late." Terraformer
For those of you who are looking for new books appropriate for middle grade that both boys and girls might enjoy, this is the place to look!
Every month, at least one new book will be added for review right here and they will be reviewed by the best critics, KIDS! That’s right, the one’s who read them will be the judge!
This blog is written by my eleven year old, Aidan Wesley. He’s always had a love of reading insomuch that he would prefer sitting on a couch reading to running around outside. He’s read several chapter books given to him from his AWESOME auntie, Colleen! Right now he’s reading the Bunnicula series and he almost finished with book #7, Bunnicula Meets Edgar Allen Crow.
First, may I introduce Aidan Wesley. . .
” Hi. I am in sixth grade and I like games. For example, FNAF (Five Nights at Freddies), Plants vs. Zombies, Minecraft, and Luigi’s Mansion. I also like building paper crafts and Legos, playing with my brother Lex and baby sister Ashley, and creating animation with my Nintendo 3DS using play dough and action figures. My favorite subjects are science and art. My least favorite is of course math! I have so many favorite treats I can’t list them all. My favorite books I’ve read include; Diary of a Wimpy Kid novels, the How to Train Your Dragon series, Big Nate books and The Quest for the Diamond Sword (Minecraft novel). When I grow up I’d like to be either an engineer or a scientist. Aunt Colleen is special because she loves me so good.”
Setting:
This story takes place in a house owned by the Monroe family in Centerville.
Main Characters:
The story is told from the perspective of the family pet dog, Harold. He is a dog that isn’t really into adventure. He is peaceful almost all of the time. Chester is a boy cat who is deathly afraid of the vacuum cleaner. He likes to take read and take lots of naps. Harold and Chester get along and are quite good friends. Bunnicula is not your average bunny rabbit. Infact, Chester believes that Bunnicula is a vampire bunny because it doesn’t eat vegetables like a normal bunny. Indeed, it sucks the juice from the vegetables.
Personal Review:
I liked this book because it was full of fun, adventure, and made me laugh a lot. My rating for this book would be 5/5 stars. This series is one of my favorites! One of my favorite parts of this book is when the family wakes up and finds lots of white vegetables in the kitchen.

I’m Linda Louise, one of the bloggers on this website and Colleen’s little sister. I’m just a girl in her mid-thirties who feels thirteen when I play outside with my boys, fifteen when I sing my heart out listening to tunes while driving by myself, and sixty five when I go out past ten at night. I have a thing for junior mints, Mt. Dew, shrimp and kale (though not all at once) and I have a crush on Superman. I still get girlish butterflies when I read Twilight, cry when I read These is My Words, and smile from ear to ear when I read Anne of Green Gables. I have nightmares about aliens on a regular basis and I have a bad habit of midnight snacking. I love everything sports, except golf (although can that honestly be considered a sport??), and I hate anything that slithers, hisses, or stings. I have a problem with giggling at inappropriate moments and I sometimes wish life was a musical. I love science, hate math, love Dr. Seuss, and hate olives. My family is my world and my joys come from their happiness. I’ve learned I don’t know much about anything and I live for a good adventure, naps, cuddles, stories, exceptional food and The Shire.
