Dragon Masters Shine of the Silver Dragon (Book #11) by Tracey West

I liked Dragon Masters Shine of the Silver Dragon because it involved Naga. Naga is the largest dragon that controls all dragons and can do great damage to the world. Drake learned that he had the heart of a champion. Jean didn’t trust the other dragon masters so the silver key was taken by magic. I liked that Bo got a shield and Drake got a sword. I liked Shine of the Silver Dragon.

This book is about the crime-fighting lunch lady and how she got fired by the new superintendent. All the new teachers at Thomson Brook School were all criminals that the lunch lady had put in jail before. Mr. Edison is being forced to build a laser for the superintendent who wants the laser to destroy the moon. The superintendent also converted everyone in the school into three teams. They all started fighting and in the end the Lunch Lady and her team won.

Sulwe is about a girl who wishes she was as beautiful as her sister. She tries everything to make herself beautiful. Her mother told her that beauty does not come from the outside but from your smarts and kindness. One day a star took Sulwe on a trip to the past of Night and Day. Night thought that she was not beautiful and she walked off the earth. After a long time everybody missed the night. Day told the Night that the people missed her. Night returned and the people rejoiced. After that day Sulwe did not think that she was not beautiful again and if she needed a reminder she could look up in the sky on the darkest of night.

I liked the book because it shows how women played a big part in the history of America and how Black people aren't superior to white people and white people are not superior to Black people. I like how it shows we are all equal and how we can all unite for a good cause like Mary and Bet did.

This book is about a girl who overcomes a challenge during her cheering seasons. I enjoyed reading this book because it encourages you to face your fear and have fun even if you don't win.

Joss Touch the Sky is available to request through libraries outside of Worcester.

I really liked this book and how it pointed out all the little things to be thankful for! I am thankful for my mom because she gives me hugs and kisses and takes care of me!

This book is about peregrine falcons and how they survive. It first talks about a man named Dacey that found a peregrine falcon nest in his balcony. Next it gives information so the reader can identify them. It also talked about how they fly, how females lay eggs, how protective males can be, and how parents feed, teach, and protect their chicks. It finally talks about how researchers can make sure that peregrine falcons do not go extinct. I will give this book a 4/5. It needs more information but I liked its presentation and the photography.👌 😃

This book made me feel all the things in the book and gave me memories of when I have had those feelings before. For example, I was at a park and there was a very tall climbing wall and I was very brave even though I was scared but I did it anyway.

Also available in Wonderbook format
