The Barbie Movie Review
By: Olivia Dalton
⅗ stars ⭐⭐⭐
In my opinion I think this movie is ok. It is a fun, imaginary show. It is half fake and half real because Barbie is real and Barbie Land is not real. The main character is Barbie. She is always having a good day and has a perfect life. The night of a giant party, Barbie said “do you ever think about dying?”Then the next morning she woke up with bad breath and she went to get out of bed and she saw she had flat feet! And that same morning everything was not working like her normal daily routine would go. She took a shower and the water was very cold. Her life wasn’t perfect anymore so she had to go to the weird Barbie and the weird Barbie used to be the most beautiful Barbie in Barbie Land. The weird Barbie told Barbie to go into the Real World and find the person who plays with her and bring her to Barbie Land. Doing this would fix her feet and everything that was wrong would go back to being right and perfect.
Ken came with Barbie to the Real World, but Ken left before Barbie left the Real World and Ken took off to Barbie Land. While Barbie was in the Real World, he took over Barbie's house and almost ruled Barbie Land but all of the barbies helped keep Barbie Land. They did not let Ken rule Barbie Land or let him turn Barbie Land into KenDom.

By: Jayden Rogers
Today I'm going to review The Super Mario Bros. Movie. I love this movie and can’t wait for the sequel! Here’s how the story goes: Mario and Luigi have a plumbing business that is not going too well. That night they went into a sewer because of a leak. But then they find a pipe and get sucked in! Mario finds himself in the mushroom kingdom and Luigi finds himself captured by Bowser. Can Mario save his brother? Can Mario save the mushroom kingdom? Watch it on Peacock to find out. The pacing may be fast but I give it a 9/10!

Wings of Fire The Dark Secret 4
Book Review
By: Sawyer Wietecha
Hi everyone, today I'm going to do a book review on Wings of fire: The Dark Secret. This is number four in the series and it's my personal favorite. I give it a five-star rating. I like it because it is basically about the Nightwings and their secrets, and the Nightwings are my favorite tribe. The teaser reads, “When Starflight is stolen by his tribe he hopes to at least discover some of the long held Nightwing secrets- what magical powers they really have, who they've allied with in the war, and where they've been living all this time. But the truth about starflights tribe is more terrible than he ever imagined: not only do the Nightwings live in a dark, miserable place, but they've imprisoned several innocent RainWings there, too. Stranded and alone, Starflight wants only to get back to his friends. But the fate of two kingdoms now rests in his Talons, and with no one to save him, Starfight will have to find a way to be brave… before it's too late.” The book starts out with Starflight laying on the ground in a cave with six mysterious dragons staring and talking. They pour a bucket of water on him.Then he meets his half sister. Then Morrowseer brings him to the queen and he notices that the queen is watching them behind a screen. He also noticed that the dragons there are scarily thin. Then they talk and ask him if the Rainwings are planning to attack them and he admits that they are. Morrowseer tells him a little bit about their tribe. Then Starflight starts talking a lot and Morrowseer says he knows who his dad is. Then Starflight meets Fatespeaker and she says that she had visions about him. Then he meets his father and father’s name is Mastermind. Then Mastermind shows Starflight around his lab. Then Mastermind shows Starflight the Rainwing that they captured. Then Starfight meets the Rainwing and her name is Orchard. He gives her water and she turns pink. Then starflight meets the alternate dragonets of Destiny. Their names are Squid,Viper,Orchard, and Flame. Morrowseer tells Starflight to stay alive. He tells the rest of them to kill starflight. Starflight runs away into a cave and Fatespeaker starts talking to him. He goes to sleep and he has a dream about reading a scroll about the dragonets with Sunny then Kestrel rips it. Then Fatespeaker and Starfight go adventuring at night to the treasure room that got destroyed by lava in Starflight finds a dream visor. He visits Kinkajou in her dreams. Kinkajou wakes up and Starflight goes back to sleep. Morrowseer wakes him up and says that they have to go on a trip and it's raining and there's lightning and Starflight hurt his wing.
They get to the claws of the clouds mountains and they're at the North edge of Pyrrhia in Skywing Territory. Then Morrowseer says that they have to convince the eight Skywings to turn to Blisters army of the war. The Skywings are about to take them to the Palace when the Nightwings bust through the door and kill the Skywings. Then they go back to the Nightwing Palace. They go to sleep then Fatespeaker wakes up Starflight and tells them that Flame just left. They follow him to the dungeon where they meet Deathbringer and talk to him. They all go on an adventure in the castle. They find the library but they have to find the queen first. They find the screen where the queen can look through and a hidden tunnel behind a map. They go down a long and tiny tunnel to a room with a giant pot of lava in it. Queen Battlewinner of the Nightwings rises from the pool of lava and she talks to them.. She opens her mouth and they see that there is ice in her throat. She got blasted by Icewings but she jumped into a pool lava and it saved her. Then they go back to sleep. He visits Clay, Tsunami, Sunny and Glory. Clay is dreaming about… Food! Tsunami is having a nightmare about killing her father. Sunny is dreaming about a sunny day and flying around. Glory is dreaming about paperwork. Starflight talks to her then he goes to sleep. Morrowseer wakes him up for training. They train some but then Viper accidentally slashes Flame in the eye with her poisonous tail. Viper then falls into some lava. Then Starfight and Fatespeaker take flame (which has a very bad slash on his eye and it's all bubbly and gross) and show him to the guards (because they are trying to escape) and they let them through the magic tunnel. Then Starflight finds Glory, Clay, Sunny, and Tsunami. They talk a little bit. Then Starflight tells them that the Nightwings are planning to attack! To find out how this exciting story ends, you will have to read the book yourself, I highly recommend it. The things I loved most about this book were the fight scenes, when Glory, Clay Tsunami, and Sunny get Starflight back, and when Fatespeaker and Starflight explore the Nightwing castle.This was a very suspenseful story, definitely worth reading. I hope you enjoyed this book review and it encourages you to read the book. I enjoyed reading the book and I enjoyed typing this review. I hope you read the next one! The Epilogue shows the three Sandwing sisters talking to their allies.

Cider and Doughnuts
By: Emerson Dibble
To me there is nothing that makes me feel more like Fall than the cider mill. Cider and spice doughnuts are my favorite Fall treat. It is a family tradition to go to the cider mill each fall on opening day. I like how cider is different from apple juice. It also makes me happy to drink apple cider. It tastes like it has sugar, cinnamon and definitely apples! It tastes, smells and makes me feel Fall; cooler than summer, but still not freezing. The leaves are changing colors and dropping from the trees. School is starting and football season is starting!
I like how the doughnuts taste. They taste fluffy on the inside. Also, they have a very thin shell on the outside and they are coated in cinnamon. It makes me happy to eat them. They smell and taste like Fall too. If you were listening you would know I like Fall except I don’t like the cold part. As you can see, there are many reasons why I like Cider and Doughnuts.
