Modest Medusa: Season 1 by Jake Richman

Modest Medusa: Season 1 by Jake Richman
Reviewed by Molleigh R.

Rating: 5/5-Amazing

When Jake finds a 5-year old Medusa who acts like age16,loves chcocodilas (chocolate Twinkies),and Pokémon, it starts a wild adventure of a XXX box, being locked out, and late night video game releases. What happens when Mrs. Medusa wants her daughter back?

The book was hilarious. My favorite part is when the chainsaw unicorn attacks Jake, medusa, Mariah (Jake's niece), and Charles's (who lives downstairs). Another part is when Jake puts a "don't pee on the Medusa" sign on the door because Medusa sleeps in the bathroom. I loved this book so much. This is like several books I read before.

Take the author's rating: poop jokes and smoking mermaids.

Rating: 5/5-Amazing

It was about a girl named gabby that did a project on being pregnant.

I liked that she decided to do her own project on being pregnant. I liked how she described what happened in her past with her family being pregnant. I liked how she described what happened to her through the project. One unique thing is it shows what this person had to go through to do this project.

Yes I would recommend this book to anyone who likes nonfiction books. One reason why is because it's shows what this girl really went through when doing this project. It also shows what happened with her family with there pregnancy.

Rating: 4/5-Loved it

This book is about Janie trying to figure out if she was kidnapped.

I liked that the author was descriptive. I liked how she describes what Janie daydreams. Another thing I liked was how the author describes what each character was like. One thing that stands out to me is that Janie is trying to figure out if she was really kidnapped or not. I liked how the author described what Janie and her mother did together.

Yes I would recommend this book to anyone who likes mysteries. One reason is because it's is very interesting to see what Janie has go to through.

Rating: 4/5-Loved it

When Darkside takes control of earth, the retired superheros reunite. When Wonder Woman spreads a deadly disease, the green lanterns in a panel universe, and most part of the "anti-life" or missing, who will save earth?

The book I read was gory, but not a lot. the ending was really confusing and took a while to figure out. The pictures were really good, although the book skipped quickly to one story to another. The plot was fast paced and a bunch of action. In other words, it rocked.    

The book is good for 8 graders. Lots of beloved heroes (batman, Martian manhunter, black canary,etc..) die. There are lots of swear words, too.

Profiles in Courage by John F. Kennedy

Reviewed by Jason P.

Rating: 5/5-Amazing


volume of short biographies describing acts of bravery and integrity by eight United States Senators throughout the Senate's history.

The book focuses intensely on mid 19th century antebellum America and the efforts of Senators to delay the Civil War. Profiles was widely celebrated and became a best seller. John F. Kennedy is credited as its author, but there are credible allegations that most of it was the work of his speechwriter, Theodore Sorensen.

I would recommend this book to ANYONE planning to take AP United States History! (High School Students)

Yes I would recommend this book to others. I would recommend this book to any one who likes adventure.
