向学习图书馆管理员推荐两本书英语作文

Dear Mrs. Jacobs,

Hi! It's me, Tommy from 4th grade. I wanted to tell you about two really awesome books that I think you should get for our school library. These books are so good and I just know all the other kids would love reading them too!

The first book is called \"The Mysterious Benedict Society\" by Trenton Lee Stewart. It's about these four kids who get recruited by Mr. Benedict to go on this crazy mind mission. They have to go undercover at this weird institute for gifted kids run by this evil guy named Mr. Curtain. He's trying to use his smart students to help him take over the world with his crazy mind schemes! The four kids are Reynie, who's kind of the leader, Sticky who knows basically everything about everything, Kate who's an awesome athlete and fighter, and Constance who's just a little kid but she's really stubborn and brave. They have to take these wild tests and puzzles to join the Mysterious Benedict Society and then they go on all these adventures together at the institute.

There's this one part where they get locked in this room slowly filling up with water and have to solve a bunch of clues

and riddles to escape before they drown! And another where Kate has to escape across this yard with security guards and vicious dogs trying to catch her. It's just really intense and exciting with lots of twists and surprises.

But it's also really funny because of Constance. She's always saying sassy stuff and making trouble. Like at one point she bites one of Mr. Curtain's evil henchmen on the leg! The adults can never control her. My favorite line is when Mr. Benedict says \"There are two things I'll never insult: an open mind and a hungry stomach.\"

This book is just so clever and creative. The puzzles Mr. Benedict gives the kids are actually written out in the book so you can try solving them yourself as you read along. And there are these fun fictional ads and stories woven throughout about some of the fake companies in the book world. The whole thing just really stretches your imagination.

I think kids would go totally crazy for this book because of how exciting and funny the story is. It's kind of like a

combination of James Bond for kids but mixing in some Willy Wonka craziness too! We could maybe even have a Mysterious Benedict Society club where kids try to solve the book's riddles and stuff. It's just such an engaging page-turner of an adventure.

The second book I want to recommend is the \"Peter and the Starcatchers\" series by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson. These books are basically prequels that show how Peter Pan became the boy who never grows up from the classic Peter Pan stories. In the first book, Peter is just a normal orphan boy who gets shipped off on a ship called the \"Never Land\" because he's so mischievous. There's a magical trunk loaded with this crazy stuff called \"starstuff\" that gets hijacked by pirates led by the dreaded Black Stache (who's really just a young man at this point). Peter ends up getting involved and teams up with some shipmates like Molly, the only young girl on the boat.

They get shipwrecked on an island and meet up with some Native people like Little Sinking Bear and Fighting Prawn. They slowly discover the crazy powers of the starstuff like flying, having things obey your thoughts, and never getting older or dying. Black Stache wants to hoard it all for himself and become all powerful, while Peter and his friends want to share it so everyone can live adventure-filled lives.

The writing is just so funny and exciting. All the characters seem real, even the crazy ones like Black Stache or Aloicious Aged Worvil the Wander from England. There's ships getting torn apart by giant crocodiles, lost cities in jungles, magic

amulets and recipes to make starstuff, all mixed up in this wacky story of pirates and natives and lost orphan boys.

I especially love Molly because even though she's a young girl, she's not some dainty little princess but really tough and brave. She defeats these big pirate goons with just her bravery and a frying pan as a weapon! She shows that girls can be heroes too and do anything the boys can do.

There are tons of nods to the original Peter Pan stuff like Tinkerbell getting created from starstuff, Peter slowly starting to live life as an eternal boy while others age around him, and the first time he learns to fly. But it's all weaved together in this totally new story and world before Neverland was even created. These books are challenging because there's lots of big vocabulary, twisty plots, and tough themes about growing old and facing death. But that's what makes them so rich and re-readable too. You can keep digesting all the deeper meanings behind the swashbuckling fun as you grow up.

Both of these book series are just impossible to put down! Once you start reading them, you get so hooked on the crazy adventures and mysteries happening. But they're more than just entertainment too. They get you thinking in creative new ways and teach lessons about being brave, loyal to friends, using your

mind instead of violence, and the importance of having an eternal childlike sense of wonder about the world.

I really hope you'll consider adding these books to our library, Mrs. Jacobs. I just know my friends and I would read them over and over. They'd make such perfect read-alouds in class too because they're so engaging and fun. We could explore all the wordplay, foreshadowing, character masks, and other writer's craft stuff that went into making them. Maybe we could even put on our own play version too! The possibilities are endless. Anyway, those are my top picks. I tried to explain what makes each series so awesome in an \"\"show don't tell\"\" way, just like you taught us in writing class. I really hope I convinced you to get them for us! Thanks for being such a cool librarian. Your pal, Tommy
