My personal favorite. Day 3 floods Arthur out of the hospital and into Border Sea. He finds himself negotiating with the gluttonous, whale-turned Wednesday one second and battling pirates the next. Recommended to kid-teen.

Grade: A

Movie: Band Slam

Another new movie without a purpose. Good enough to watch, but didn't live up to other music movies such as the School of Rock. Wouldn't recommend it.

Movie: Home Alone

It indubitably deserves an A. This movie is sooo... great because it deals with a kid being 'home alone'.. He does awefully hilarious tricks on the thieves. The movie is funny from the beginning to the end. Trust me when I saw this movie, my bro. and I couldn't stop ourselves from cracking up. Everybody definitely sooo... recommended.

Grade: A

Grade: A

Movie: Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince

A movie definitely worth watching, but it did not live up to all the hype. The humor added a punch to it, but the overflow of romantic scenes ruined all of that. Also, a huge battle was omitted at the end. I would still recommend it to Potter- book readers or movie- watchers.

Grade: B

A thrilling murder mystery for all ages. Then ten strangers are invented to Indian Island, a record goes off, accusing all of them for murder.

I would recommend this to anyone looking for a book to grab and keep their attention throughout.

Grade: A
