As part of the Richmond Public Library's Summer Reading Club each year, children are encouraged to tell people what they think of the books they are reading by writing book reviews, and each week several reviews are chosen to be published in the Richmond News. Here are this week's reviews:
Title: Geronimo Stilton Cavemice: Help I'm in Hot Lava!
Reviewed by: Joshua Kwan
Age: 8 Geronimo Stilton is going on a journey to find the lost land of Cheesy-La with his family.
I like this book because when I read it I felt like I am on their journey as well.
I also like it because it changed my life. The way it changed my life is that in each book it tells you not to give up on anything you do.
Title: Running Wild Reviewed by: Olivia Zhang Age: 12 This book is about a boy named Will and an elephant named Oona who trampled into the forest to start a new adventure, a new start of hope, greatness and bravery.
I like this book because the author "Michael Morpurgo" had some interesting ways of putting things in a story. By reading this story you will be touched by his words and you'll be amazed how sad the story is. You may wonder about what will happen next. But you will travel with Will and Oona to an adventure that will touch your heart wherever you read.
Title: The Water Cycle Reviewed by: Richard Yu
Age: 5 This book is about the water cycle in nature and why the water disappears and returns on Earth again.
I like this book because it tells us about oceans, rivers, evaporation, condensation, clouds and precipitation. I like to read about hydrologists, who use many tools like shovels and computers.
I would like to recommend this book to everyone.
