Top Ten Book Blog

1: The Missing Piece by Shel Silverstein

     The Missing Piece is about an incomplete circle running around trying to find his missing piece. He trips over obstacles and discover triangles that doesn't fit, but he never gave up. The reason why I love this book so much because of the illustrations and the wording. I love the adventure the Missing Piece goes into and the ending. I even sang a song when I was reading a part that is repeated. To describe how much I love this book, I can't say. Speechless I am, that is how much I love this book.

2: Flush by Carl Hiaasen


     Flush is a book about a boy named Noah whose father was accused of sinking a ship. The ship's, Coral Queen, owner should be arrested as well for dumping human waste into the ocean. Noah and his family faces problems and the government as they come over their house. The reason why I loved this book so much is because of the character, Noah. He really stood up to people and his father for what was right. Heroic we should call Noah.






3: Field Trip Mysteries by Steve Brezenoff
Field Trip Mysteries is about a group of friends that solves mysteries on field trips. Sneaky students who pass teachers and discover the bandit. This book has been one of my personal favorite books I've ever read. The characters are so clever and always on the edge of my seat as I read, and it's weird how they are so different, yet same.

4: Diary of a Wimpy Kid  by Jeff Kinney
Greg is one of the unpopular boys who wants to be popular. With his friend, Rowley, tries to survive school such as Valentines Day, Girlfriends, Betrayal, and more. Greg is just like me, but Greg is not that shy. I could easily relate what happens in the book in my life. That is why it ranked #4 on my list.

5: Powerless by Matthew Cody
"Noble Green is the safest place on earth," Daniel, a new resident in the town, rolls into a funky town where something fishy is going on. He goes deeper into the question and tries to get to the bottom of this. Supposedly, there are superheroes running around and making that place as safe as it can. For some reason, once they turn 13, they have no clue that they are superheroes and has lost their power. I never knew how much I love superhero books. The plot is interesting and the characters are too. It makes me wonder about the world and the secrets it hides.





6: Captain Underpants by Dav Pilkey
Two boys, or shall I say Troublemakers, hypnotize their principal into thinking that he is a superhero called Captain Underpants. Villains arise and battle with Captain Underpants, but he is not a real superhero. So, the troublemakers has to watch the principal along with helping him. As a child, I've always love this book. It is silly and creative, just how I love children books.

7: Big Nate by Lincoln Pierce
Nate Write has a school to handle. There are principals to avoid, bullies, girls, and his very own locker. As Nate goes on an adventure with his friends, he finds himself in trouble. This is one of my favorites because it is just like Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Captain Underpants. There is something about this book that I can't put my finger on it, but I just really love the books.




8: The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss
Alright, all time classic The Cat in the Hat ends up in my list. The book is about brother and sister, along with a fish, having a rainy day at their home. Out of nowhere, a Cat with a Hat walks in and cheers them up. Let me just make this clear, the illustrations are phenomenal. This is one of the main reason why I started to draw. Seuss let his mind free and drew as best as he can and not worrying on what people think about it.

9: The Weenie Series  by David Lubar
This book has mini stories inside. Some are horror, some are warped, until it comes to a main chapter, which is the title. There is no way how I can explain it more since it is just short stories into one and different on each book. I love these books because of the short stories. I find them surprising and very interesting, along with the most clever/hateful ending. Sometimes, I wish the chapter never ended.










10: Red Scarf Girl by Ji-li Jiang
     A simple girl who is doing well in school is turned down by the economy and school. Ji-li faces police arresting their family, humiliation at school, and suicide. Jiang Ji-li figures out why and tries to stop it. I love it how the author puts her life story into a well-done book story. It also teaches you how the Cultural Revolution was like in China, which I thought it was pretty cool.

All About Me

All About Me!

     Hi! My name is Anthony. I live in Illinois as a job as a 7th Grader. I have 2 sisters and a Mom and a Dad. We get along, most of the times. One of the things I do at home is to draw. I could draw cartoons such as Minions, Spongebob, and more! Of course, it;s not as good as the picture listed below.

     I’ve always wanted to go to London. Not to see Big Ben, it’s an event. Little gamer me wants to go to Minecon at least once. Minecon is similar to Comic-con, but it’s a Minecraft event. 

     I have heard that our generation is being tested in technology, but I don’t think that is true. Although, I am pretty good at making Tech-Like Projects, if I say so myself. I’ve won awards throughout my tech abilities. So, I am pretty good at it.

     That is pretty much me. Of course, there is more, but those are the main things about me.
