Introducing Copperfield's Books Book Reviewers!

We've asked them for a short description of themselves and to list three books they recommend to others.

Cameron Hill

6th Grade

I am an artist, cellist, and love learning and reading. I have a dog who I love to be with, and a wonderful family. Three books I recommend are The Hunger Games, The Phantom Tollbooth, and Wild Magic.

Jon Slavin

5th Grade

I like to read and I like to think about what I read. Then I share it with others. I am also told that I read with a critical mind. The number one thing I love about reading is that is gives me the opportunity to stretch my imagination to the limit, and beyond! I would recommend the following books: The Lightning Thief, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and Diary of a Wimpy Kid (1,2,3,4).

Brooke Ascher

7th Grade

I love reading and am a very good critic. I think if I would recommend any books for kids (in my case Teens) MY AGE (13) they would be these: anything by Carolyn Mackler, A Child Called It, Ms. Frisby and the Rats of Minh (for animal lovers like myself), Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key, The Percy Jackson Series, and of course, Among the Hidden. These are all books that I could not put down.

Zoe Strickland

8th Grade

It is hard to describe myself! Uhhh, I am a huge bookworm, I love to write, and I love photography. I have been reviewing books for a little over a year. I would recommend Paper Towns by John Green, Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, and The Vinyl Princess by Yvonne Prinz.

Logan Heyerly

12th Grade

I'm a teenage girl/woman. I'm smart and love to read and sing. And sleep. But reading and singing are more fun than sleeping. Three books I recommend are: This is All: The Pillowbook of Cordelia Kenn, Stranger in a Strange Land, and The "Kushiel's Legacy" Series.

Three books that I have read in the last year, and that I would recommend to others are: Brisingr by Christopher Paolini, Syren by Angie Sage, and The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan.

Sheryl Cherian

8th Grade

I am an individual who loves to be with her friends and family more than anything in the world. I also love to have heated arguments with them about our book choices, and I LOVE to win. No matter what, I will always have my own personality and will always strive to do my best. I have read and recommend The Book Thief by Marcus Zuzak, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, and Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz. They are all novels with a great storyline behind them. One is about Nazi-Germany, one is about a teen struggling to survive in a series of games, and the other is about a teenage spy. I have described them in the order I have listed them in.
