Inside View of a Book

Book Reviews by RIFSoCal Kids allow us to see value in books from a child’s point of view. The following are a few of thousands of thank you notes containing reviews of the books chosen by our kids. They are poignant, funny, and honest as only a child can be. 

Stormbreaker

Stormbreaker is about a 14 year old kid named Alex Rider. His uncle fooled everyone that he was working for a bank, but he was really a spy and he got ambushed and died. Alex hid in a photo booth from the people who tried to kill him. When he sat down, he warped to a top secret organization. They made Alex a spy like his uncle used to be. He had a lot of gadgets. The mission he was assigned was to find out why a billionaire donated stormbreakers to school. A stormbreaker is supposed to make every computer break down with a hacking system. So, Alex stopped him and saved the computers. I liked the book a lot. People who helped get these books must’ve worked hard. I appreciate it. RIF is the best. Sincerely, Douglas.”

Cirque Du Freak Series

“Dear RIF members, Today I got a RIF book, RIF book I got was Cirque du Freak. I was told it was a good scary book, and I like scary books. Thank you for the RIF books. It was nice of you bringing the books. Now in the summer I could read the book so I could be a fluent reader. Since you donated the RIF books, all the kids from this school are happy. Thank you again for the books. Sincerely, Kiloli”
