Stink and the World's Worst Super-Stinky Sneakers (#3) reviewed by Jordan
Reviewed by Jordan
If you want to read a fun, funny, and "stinky" book, then read Stink and the World's Worst Super-Stinky Sneakers. My opinion is that there's a lot of stinky stuff and betting, like when Stink and Sophie make a bet about who has the stinkiest shoes.
DSA #11: Danger! Wizard at Work! reviewed by Lucas
Reviewed by Lucas
DSA is a very good series. DSA stands for Dragon Slayers' Academy. Erica, Angus, and Wiglaf have to go on a special mission for Mordred their headmaster. They might encounter some problems along the way. They end up at another DSA but will it stand for the same thing as their school...?
Mordred is a very bossy person. He is obsessed with gold and would do anything to get it.
Zelnoc is a wizard whose spells always seem to go wrong. Will this one go wrong too or just not the spell that they wanted? Zelnoc helps them but also messes up in the DSA books.
Wiglaf of Pinwick is a new student at DSA. He already slayed two dragons by accident. Will he have to slay anymore? Wiglaf can't stand the sight of blood. That is why he had to kill the dragons by accident. Wiglaf can't even kill a fake dragon in slaying class.
Angus is one of Wiglaf's best friends. He is also the nephew of Mordred. He doesn't get special treatment though. He actually has to do more things. Angus's mom is always sending him goody bags with good food so he doesn't always have to eat the eel that Frypot makes.
Erica who is secretly Eric is also one of Wiglaf's best friends. She is secretly Princess Erica but DSA is an all boys school so she disguises herself as a boy. No one knows she is a girl except for Wiglaf and Angus.
If you like this book you can read all of the DSA books from 1 to 19. There are 19 books in the DSA series. You could and should read all of them. They are really good books.

Big Nate reviewed by Nick
Reviewed by Nick
Big Nate is the awesomest series you will ever read. Nate is a funny and a nice kid but he is not so well in school. Big Nate is a cool, funny comic. Nate's friend is Francis. Francis is a really nice friend and he is very funny.
The author uses great illustrations and details. Some of the books are how to draw Nate and other characters. The message of the book is to be nice to your friends and trust your instincts.
I recommend Big Nate for 8 and up. Big Nate is a book filled with adventures and it's funny. That's why I like Big Nate. you will love the fiction picture book!!

Diary of a Wimpy Kid series reviewed by Andrew
Diary of a Wimpy Kid series by Jeff Kinney
217 pages
Reviewed by ANDREW
Greg Hefley is always trying to be popular in school and wants to impress girls but he almost always gets laughed at. Also Greg’s older brother, Roderick, always does pranks to Greg, and Greg always gets in a fight with Roderick. So Greg’s mom always grounds them, or says they can’t do something. So Roderick always annoys Greg.
Rowley Jefferson, who is Greg’s best friend, has very paranoid parents, that want Rowley to be as safe as possible and sneak healthy snacks into his deserts.
I think Jeff Kinney did a really nice job in this book series.
In this series you will find funny parts throughout the book series. I enjoyed the series a lot. If I enjoyed it then you probably will too. I think that the comedy in this series is really good. also the drawings in this series is really good. Without the comedy and drawings in this series the series wouldn’t be that good. This amazing book series teaches you to be yourself. And the illustrations are very cartoon like, and funny; these illustrations help me visualize the book.
The reader will come to understand that the theme of this book series is be yourself or else you will end up like Greg. The Diary of a Wimpy Kid series is a spectacular series for ages 7+. Readers will feel like they want to keep reading the series after they finish the first book. So if you like funny books that have good illustrations then read the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series!
