Snicket, Lemony. The Bad Beginning, New York: HarperCollins, 1999
Reviewed by: Kevin
What happens to you when your parents die? Where will you go? Where do all at your parents go? In this book the Baudelaire parents die, their kids stay with someone they never met or heard of. The book is called The Bad Beginning, by Lemony Snicket.
This book is about 3 brilliant kids named Violet, Klaus and Sunny. Their parents just died in a fire with all of there belongings and house. Now they have to stay with Count Olaf a man they never met or heard of. Count Olaf secretly plans to marry Violent for their parent’s money. Violet the oldest of the three, she is a genius, she likes to invent things strange tools out of other objects. Klaus is a book nerd, he loves to read. Sometimes he stays up all night to read. Sunny is the youngest out of the three kids. She likes to bite objects with her 4 sharp teeth. Sunny like to make sounds to show what she means.
I think Brooklyn Junior students would like this book because it is out of the ordinary. Some parts I thought were interesting were when Count Olaf made the play and told the kids. The Baudelaire kids tried to find a way out of it, but Count Olaf had a back up plan. I rated this book 3 stars because the book has a lot of twist and turns.

Imagine being a young black man growing up in the tough streets of Harlem, and you have an ok life with your mom and two sisters but the only thing that is missing is your father. This is what happens in Anne Schraff book A Matter of trust. This book centers James Adams who is the man of the house because his father left his family because he was not ready to be a father. James is a kid that misses his dad so he starts looking for him. He starts asking question to people about his dad. His search takes him to a different state. After a couple weeks of looking for him he finally finds him. So he and his dad start catching up and they decide to take a trip back to his dad hometown. When they get there they run into some of his dad of friends who he olds money to. They were doing a drug deal for his dads friend and it goes bad the people take the drugs, money, and the car. Now they have to find away to get home and dodge his dad old friends. I really like this book. It is a good action book. I would recommend BJH students to read this book. It help you learn how to build a relationship with a parent that was never there for you when you was growing up. I would give this book 5 stars
Brown, Tracy Black. Columbus oh 43219: Triple Crown, 2003

What would you do if your mother didn’t love you? Or accept you as her youngest child?
Tracy Brown’s novel is a story about a girl trying to understand why her mother doesn’t want to accept her no matter what!
Being in a house, and your not loved or noticed by anyone who lives with you that’s how Kaia felt. Her mother didn’t accept her or love her. Kaia’s father was the only person who loved her. But he died when Kaia was a little girl. She is now in high school, and found somebody who finally loves her which is her new boyfriend. She is a strong girl and lovers to read and also gets good grades, and stays out of trouble. She just wants to noticed and accepted in her house hold. Kaia has two older sisters who also leaves her out and doesn’t talk to her. She only has three friends to talk to and knows where coming from with her personal problems at home.
Thos book s a really touching book. It shows how strong you can be even if you don’t have the special love you need by the most important people in your life.
The book Black is a great book. I think kids at Brooklyn Junior should read it because it also shows you how people life might be when there not accepted, and the things they will do for someone to love them. I would give the book a four, because everything that happens in Black could be happening to many people around the world its reality. I think a lot of people would connect to the book even if they have a completely different life style.
Lagan Paul and Alirez Ben, brothers in arms, Townsend press Inc, 2004
Reviewed by Michael
This book is great there is a lot of action and drama to this. If you like books that make you want to keep reading until it’s over this would be a great book for you to read. The title of the book is ‘brothers in arms’, the author’s of the book are Paul lagan and Ben alirez. This book started in southern California. It was a teenage boy named Martin and a couple of his homeboys sitting in a back ally. Martin’s little brother was trying to protect him when everything when wrong.
The book is about a teenage boy named Martin Luna. He was hanging gin a back ally with a couple of friends. His little brother Huero wanted to hang out with him. Martin told Hureo to go back home because he dint want to be bothered with him. A few seconds later Hureo was racing down the ally trying to protect Martin but instead he was the one who had got shot. So know Martin is out with his friends looking for who killed his little brother Hureo for revenge. He also has his mom and adults around him telling him to let it go, but no one knows what he is going to do, take the high road and let it go or give in to the bad and seek revenge. One of the characters that stood out to me was Frankie. It seemed like he was the leader and everyone would just listen to him and was scared to speak up for themselves.
I think that BJH students should read this book. I think that because there are a lot of interesting scenes in this book. If they are the kinds of people who like books with a lot of drama then this is the book for them. I rate my book form a scale from 1-5. I give it a 5 this book was great.
