Student Saturday - Prince Caspian - C.S. Lewis


Student Saturday is a day I post reviews written by other students.  The review that follows is written by Nathan.

I really enjoyed this book. It had a lot of action in it! I highly recommend this book to fantasy readers because if you like a book that just grabs your attention and has a magical world, read this book! This book is about the Pevensie family returning to the magical and majestic world of Narnia. But in this case Narnia’s changed since the last time they were there. There was a war going on between Narnian’s and UnNarnian’s. The Pevensie family wanted to join the fight and fight for what’s right. Along the way they met a handsome, strong, and kind hearted person named Caspian, or Prince Caspian. The leader of the evil side was prince Caspian’s evil Uncle who killed Caspian’s father. So Caspian and all of the Narnian’s joined forces to defeat evil. But everyone’s wondering, where is Aslan? If you want to experience the excitement, read this book!

Student Saturday - Theodore Boone: The Abduction - John Grisham


Student Saturday is a day I post reviews written by other students.  The review that follows is written by Brady.

Theodore Boone is an 8th grader who wants to be a judge when he gets older. He has brown hair and is tall, and he also finds a quick way out of every situation. This is the second book in the series and is written by John Grisham and there are currently two books in the series. This book is based on Theodore’s best friend April who has gone missing. And at the same time, an escaped convict, also April’s cousin, is spotted in the town in which they live.

The book is very thrilling and exciting. I would recommend it if you like a story where there is a lot of excitement. You would like this very much. Also, if you like myster novels with many things that would make you change your mind about a subject or make you think the opposite of what’s the right answer.

Throughout the book I found compelling twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat and guessing what was going to happen next. The book is set in a small town outside of Chicago. It is almost like the Percy Jackson books, but no violence and Gods and Goddesses.

The main idea in this story is that Theodore’s friend April is alone in her mom’s house, where the next morning, she finds that April has vanished and her favorite clothes are gone, with no alarms triggered, but no sign of April’s father. The police are stumped, and cannot find anything involved in the abduction.

Theodore immediately starts searching from his hometown, to all over the country to find April, and with the help of his uncle Ike, Theo finds a legal way through every situation. Overall, I loved this book series because it is Mysterious and exciting.

Student Saturday - Phule Me Twice - Robert Asprin


Student Saturday is a day I post reviews written by other students.  The review that follows is written by Talon.

I thought that the book “Phule Me Twice” was funny. This book makes me remember about going into middle school for the first time because Phule goes to a new planet. The book was great. Phule is the captain that controls the group of Leiginaires. He has a butler named Beeker. The new planet was named Zebobia. This book reminds me of a forest with new things to explore. I recommend this book to my classmates because I think they would enjoy it. Phule had to help out this planet. He did his duty. Does this new planet have to doe with the mystery thing in the previous books? Read it to find out.
