Book Reviews by Kids - September 2003

Ella is a very obedient girl,
and I mean very obedient! At birth, Lucinda, the fairy, gave her the
gift of obedience. But this "gift" is more curse than
blessing. Anything Ella is told to do, she must do. So, she goes on a
quest to find Lucinda and break the spell so she can be free. This book was really cool. It
had action, suspense, humor, and romance. Ella is easy to relate to in
her frustration and her sadness. Ella Enchanted is a delight to read for
anyone. Reviewed

Pendragon:
The Merchant of Death by D.J.
Machale Bobby Pendragon was a normal boy, at least
he was until his Uncle Press came and took Bobby through space and time
to a place called Denduron. There the Milago miners are being tortured
by the Bedoowan Knights. Bobby's uncle has been captured and it's up to
Bobby to lead the Milago to fight back against the Bedoowan. This is a great book with lots of action
and surprises. From cannibalistic bears to evil transforming people,
this is an awesome book. Reviewed

and Moo and the Potato from Planet X by
Denys Cazet This potato has this space ship and crashes
on Earth and he had to deliver some Anti-Bump Cream, because if he
didn't the planets would be bumping into each other. It's funny when Moo
is trying to figure out what space fuel is. She figures out that it is
milk and that is just really funny. There's another part that is really
funny, that is when the thing that landed on earth is a potato and that
it stopped for donuts. Reviewed
