Jack's Book List

Eragon- Christopher Paolini
"A fantasy, action/adventure about a 17 year old boy named Eragon who is chosen to be a Dragon Rider and fight the evil King Galbatorix. There was always something exciting happening and a lot of action. Eragon's character starts out as a simple farm boy and through the book changes into brave hero."

A Series of Unfortunate Events- Lemony Snickett (All 13 books)-
" A very long series of books about three ophans who try to find out what happened to their parents. Disapointing ending and very difficult vocabulary made this series not my favorite. I would say,'Don't waste your time'."

Inkheart- Cornelia Funke
"Very good book about a girl named Meggy and her Dad who can read people out of books. This causes havoc for everyone, and it's up to Meggy and her dad to fix the problem. I liked how exciting and easy to read it was. I also like other books by this author. She has agood imagination."

The Thief Lord- Cornelia Funke

Dragon Rider-Cornelia Funke
"Halfway through at the moment."

Ivanhoe- Retold from Sir Walter Scott's original
"This story is a great legend from the days of 'Robin of the Hood' and 'King Richard the Lionheart'. I need to read it again as I have forgotten most of the story."

The Bully of Barkham Street- Mary Stolz
"Taught a lesson about what a bullies life is like. It's got some kinda sad parts, but overall I liked it because it made me understand why someone would be a bully."

Peter and the Starcatchers and Peter and the Shadow Theives- Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson
These two books go together. The story of how Peter Pan was made. Liked these very much because the characters had many adventures and were always in risky situations. I liked their explanation for how Peter Pan became Peter Pan."
