- Hi, my name is Bailey Ballinger
and today I'm going to share with you
my summer reading list.
Some of the books are my favorite books in the whole world
and the other books I'm going to share with you today
have either been recommended by you
or I've seen the title of them
and I just wanted to read them, so.
These are my top 10 books to read for the summer
plus a bonus because I don't think I could stop at 10.
(giggles)
Number one, The Mysterious Benedict Society.
Mommy bought me all the books,
but I've only read up to the Prisoner's Dilemma.
I's so excited that I have the whole set.
This is the first book.
It's about kids who don't have super powers,
but they have special abilities and they use that,
those special abilities to become spies.
Book number two, Matilda.
This is a really good book.
It's my mom's favorite book and it's one of my favorites.
It's written by Roald Dahl, who is an amazing author.
And he wrote Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,
which is also a really good book.
But this is a book about a super small, smart girl
who goes to school and it's super fun.
It talks about all the challenges kids can face at school.
But there's a really mean headmaster
who has like the biggest punishments in the world
and punishes kids for no reason.
This is The Betsy-Tacy Treasury.
It's about three girls, well,
the second one is about three girls.
The first one's about two girls
who go on adventures and tell stories
and do what normal kids do, and it's a really good book.
And this is The Betsy-Tacy Treasury
which has four books in it.
This is Harry Potter and it is one
of my absolute favorite books.
I read it when I was eight.
It's about a boy who finds out
that he's a wizard and he goes to this school
with all these weird, magical things happening there.
It's a whole series and it has seven books.
And it's really good.
The Land of Stories.
I lent the first book to my cousin to read.
This is the third book.
I recommend you read 'em in order.
They're all a super good story about
two kids who fall into the world
of classic fairy tales.
And it's really cool,
and it's just a really fun book to read.
The Prince Warriors.
This is a really good book.
It's about four kids who travel into another dimension
and they fight a bad guy, a very strange bad guy,
who does not attack like a normal bad guy
and takes advantage of your weaknesses.
I love books like that.
This is called The Penderwicks.
This one we listened to as an audio book in the car
and it was really good.
I pretty much forgot what it was about
'cause I haven't read it in a long time.
It's less fantasy, it's more about
like a real family and what they would do.
Kingdom Keepers.
I'm still in the middle of this one, but it's really good.
This book is about five teenagers who find themselves
trapped in Disney World fighting Disney villains.
These next three books I haven't read yet,
but I'm planning to read them over the summer.
Book number nine, The Borrowers.
This book is about a few tiny people
who are living inside of a house in secret
and are worried about being discovered.
But I haven't read it yet.
I just know what it's about because I read the back.
Book number 10, Tuesdays at the Castle.
This book is about a magical castle
and the princess who knows its secrets
more than everyone else.
I haven't read this book before,
but I'm looking forward to it.
And my bonus book is Story Thieves.
I'm super excited about it
and I think it's gonna be something like
Land of Stories because the front looks like it.
So (giggles).
