Critic's Corner Each issue our student reporters will review a currently popular book. Check back each month to see if your favorite book gets five stars! Fire World By Chris D'Lacey The Last Battle of Icemark By Stuart Hill This book would be good for middle school students who enjoy witches and warlocks, the supernatural and monsters, and war. This book is about an empire that is being destroyed by many civil wars. A new threat called Erinor is trying and so far succeeding in taking over the Polypoontus. Her success is due to the most evil person in the cosmos Cronus and his granddaughter Medea. It is up to Oskan the Witchfather to stop him. There is a terrible price that he must pay to succeed in destroying this threat. I liked this book because I just enjoy this kind of genre. Also I love how this author puts so much detail into the book. Another thing is that this author can make different stories out of one main story. I would give this book 4.5 out of 5 stars. -Patrick Rodriquez I am currently reading Fire World by Chris D'Lacey, and it is amazing. It is the sixth book in the series, and the entire series had been five out of five stars. The series is called The Last Dragon Chronicles. It is about a man named David who moves in with Liz Pennykettle, and her daughter Lucy who make dragons out of clay. They seem lifeless but are very much alive. The book Fire World takes place in a world called Copernica, which is inhabited by firebirds. In the book, a boy named David is taken to an orphanage, where he meets a girl named Rosa. David has frequent comas. He ends up sleeping for 8 years. I think this book is good because it is extremely well written, and has an amazing storyline. - Thomas Wilbur Wonder By R.J. Palacio This book is a really good book because it is very touching. You will like to read it because it is enter taining, funny, and very well done! It is about a boy who has some troubles, but turns out to be very smart. It really makes you think about life and is a phenomenal book! My favorite part is when he overcomes his troubles and makes a difference. I would defiantly recommend this book for ages 7+ because you really need to be older to understand what is going on. Overall, it is a great book that you need to read! 5 out of 5 stars! - Jack Burton-Buckley
