Watchers Book Review

Ms. Kramer's rooster reading group recently finished the book Watchers, written by Peter Larangus. Watchers is about a boy named Sam Hughes who gives a bully a virus on his computer. Sam's plan quickly backfires and from there all sorts of bad things start happening. Our group thought this book was alright. We rated the book on a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 being the lowest, and overall the lowest we gave it was a 1, and the highest was a 6, so it looks like we didn't think very highly of it. We thought the book was interesting but it had a really horrible ending that left us feeling like there should be more. We're hoping to find out that Peter Larangus is working on Watchers 2 so we can feel complete! :)

Sincerely,

Ms. K, Justin, Rhys, Steven, Bryan and David

Book Review: Liar, Liar Pants on Fire

Ms. Love's reading group just finished reading Liar, Liar Pants on Fire by Gordan Korman. This book is about a girl named Zoe who tells lies about things like having a nuclear toilet and an Eagle's nest made out of a wok.

Most of our group didn't really care for this book because it was about lying, a little boring and didn't have enough action for our tastes. Other people may like this book because it was funny at times. Also, we thought it was kind of weird that the main character was a girl, because this book seemed like it was written more for boys.
