The Road to Balinor (Unicorns of Balinor, 1)
by Mary Stanton
|
The land of Balinor is a magical land separated from our world by the "Gap". Princess Arianna and her unicorn, Sunchaser, come to our world but the princess loses her memory and Sunchaser loses his horn in an accident. Now Ari (Arianna) and Chase (Sunchaser) must find a way back to Balinor. My favorite part of the book was when Ari and Chase get back to Balinor. I liked the book because it is a fantasy . I think other kids will like it because it is sort of a mystery and has lots of action. Reviewed by Princess Toenails - age 10 |

The Captive Temple (Star Wars: Jedi Apprentice, Book 7)
by Jude Watson
|
In the Captive Temple, the Jedi temple on the planet Coruscant, is trying to be destroyed and some Jedi knights are trying to protect it. My favorite part of the story is when Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jin fight against Xanatos and Bruck Chun in the Jedi Temple treasury. I liked it because it's a Star Wars book and Star Wars books are really cool (Check out Story Time Review's. Reviewed by Dude Man - Age 9 |

Why the Banana Split is about a dinosaur who moved into town and everyone ran away. Rex says, "Why are you all running away?" Then the drum says, "Because we don't want you to eat us." At the end, every0ne comes back but the banana, because Rex eats fruit and the banana is a fruit. The book is funny to me because everyone thought Rex would eat them. Reviewed by Peach - Age 6 |
