Lord
of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring by
J.R.R. Tolkien
I recently finished the
Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien. It's about Frodo Baggins, a
hobbit, who is given the extraordinary burden to take the Ring of Power
to Mordor and destroy it in the fires of Mount Doom. This books was so good. It is
a little slow at the beginning, but once you get through that it is full
of adventure and peril and danger at every turn. Don't just watch the
movie and be through. There is so much stuff in the book that wasn't in
the movie. For example, one of my favorite characters is a man named Tom
Bombadil. He is a jolly old man who is Master of the Old Forest. He
saves the hobbits from an evil willow tree and a barrow-wight. So, if
you haven't read this book yet, you need to soon. Reviewed

Farmer A boy named Matt was a clone, but at first
no one could tell. He acted just like a normal boy. But then he was
taken to a big estate. There they looked at his feet and it said who he
belongs to. After that, everyone stayed away from him and referred to
him as the "filthy clone". But the person he was a clone of
was always kind to him. He helped Matt get through school and survive
his terrible life. But as Matt gets older he realizes that clones have
been used by others to prolong their life and now he's wondering if
that's his purpose in life. From people with computer chips in their
heads to friendly bodyguards, this is an awesome fantasy book. Reviewed

Mark Brown Arthur loves being Francine's dancing
partner, but he thinks that she loves him because she's doing all these weird
things. My favorite part is when Arthur is telling Francine about what's
happening to them but he's telling her about dolphins. It's funny
because she has no idea what he wants to tell her. It's just funny
because he's trying to figure it out and Binkey and Brain our laughing
at him so he never gets to ask Francine if she likes him. If you like when somebody thinks someone
else likes them, then you should read this book. Reviewed

Tedd Arnold This boy's mom and dad were telling jokes
that he thought would really happen to the boy. When the dad said
"can you please give me a hand", the boy thought his dad
really wanted his hand. The boy that didn't understand his mom and dad.
And when the neighbor told this joke, it was "it will crack you
up", the boy thought his body would crack up.. Reviewed
