Savvy

Title: Savvy by Ingrid Law

Why I Started to Read This Book: My library has a “Dig Into Reading” 2013 Summer Reading Club. If I read different kinds of books, I’ll get a raffle ticket. If they pick my name out, I get a Nintendo DS! One of the types of books I was supposed to read was a Garden State Book Award (GSBA) nominee book. And this book is a GSBA nominee.
  
What is it About? It is about a girl named Mibs Beaumont turning 13.You are thinking “Yeah. So what?” But, when a Beaumont turns 13, they get a super power called a “Savvy”.
Mibs’ grandpa shakes the ground. One of her brothers makes electricity. Her other brother causes hurricanes. You might be wondering what power she got. Find out for yourself after reading the book!!  

What Did I Like About This Book? I like that Mibs risked her life to save her dad. Oh right. I forgot to tell you. Her dad had an accident and is in the hospital.
 
What Didn’t I Like About This Book? Honestly, I found the beginning too boring and confusing.

Does This Belong On My Cool Lane Or Not? I have to admit, I first thought that if it was found on my Cool Lane, it would be arrested immediately by a cop. But I continued to read because I wanted to enter it for a raffle ticket. After I read a couple chapters, I decided that it should belong on my cool lane after all.  Now that I think about it, it is hard to find a fantasy book that I don't like!

101 Ways to Bug Your Teacher

NEVER TRY THIS AT HOME...Or should I say, at SCHOOL. If you think that you will, well then, STOP READING RIGHT NOW!!!

 Title: 101 Ways to Bug Your Teacher by Lee Wardlaw

Why I Started to Read This Book: I just found this book at the library. My second grade teacher’s name is Miss Cooper. Since she is really nice, the nicest teacher I have ever had and I would not do any of these things with her.
And anyway if I did anything bad to any teacher, I would be in BIG trouble.
                 
What is it About? It is about a kid inventor named (hmm… what was it? You know he was the one narrating, so they didn’t tell his name a lot. I think it's) Steve. He did a lot of naughty things. But, his most famous invention (and my favorite) was the “Nice Alarm”. Instead of buzzing or ringing noisily, it gently taps you on your shoulder awake.

What Did I Like About This Book? Well, the main thing is, that it is funny!! I am pretty sure that there is another book called 101 Ways to Bug Your Parents and I really want it. But I could not find it at the library.

Out of the 101 things mentioned in the book, I want to share three of my favorite ones with you.
1. When the teacher says, “Pay attention”... ask, “Pay how much?”
2. When the teacher says, “Take a seat”... ask, “Take it where?”
3. If you aren’t good at singing, and the teacher asks you to sing a song, play it with your armpit.

There were so many more throughout the book but I don't want to mention them all and ruin the excitement in the book. You have to read the book yourself to enjoy it.

What Didn’t I Like About This Book? Zip Zilch Nada Nothin'

Does This Belong On My Cool Lane Or Not?  This DEFINITELY belongs on my Cool Lane!!
