Summary: Danger in the Desert
Review: Have you ever wanted to have candy and root beer for dinner? Well in Danger in the Desert, T.S Fields shows you that it isn't that fun. In this realistic fiction book, two kids, Robbie and Scot would always fight. They never got along and when there car got kidnapped, they were in the car too so the two robbers left the eleven year old and the nine year old out in he desert with nothing but their own car. Their car had root beer and life-savers (candy) in it. My favorite quote from this book was, "Let me try!" which is always what Robbie would say. My favorite part is when Robbie and Scott were in the car (fighting of course) and they wanted to get each other in trouble by their mother. Their mother stopped at a gas station for a second to get something inside the store, when Robbie planned that when she got back in, he would hurry up and put his seatbelt on and yell that Scott doesn't have his seatbelt on. When someone got in the front seat, Robbie did it and yelled. Only that he wasn't his mother, it was a robber. This is one of my most favorite books because I literally never left this book. T.S Fields makes it so fun and exciting like when a snake bit Robbie and Scott had to help him. I really especially like the danger part.
I would defiantly recommend Danger in the Desert to anyone. I stayed with this book the whole time so it was easy to concentrate. I kind of connected to Robbie and Scott because they always fought, and I and my sister always fought. One of the parts was when they were at their house and Robbie kept taking Scott's stuff, that was one of the parts I connected to. I liked this genre because it is realistic-fiction, so I can kind of relate to the story. I also like the style of writing, just the way that he put an exciting part at the end of a chapter, so you just have to keep reading. There were a lot of surprises in the story, like when they emptied out their root beer in their shoe for water; I thought they would have kept the root beer instead. Every chapter ended with a cliff hanger like when they kept hearing noises and they figured it was a snake and thought out a plan, but then they would end a chapter. I didn't think that this book was boring by the plot or the solutions. I really understood this book so my mind didn't wander off. There were sort of a lot of plots in Danger in the Desert, there was one major plot, but still small ones, and they were all unbelievable because they were all dangerous. Anyone that likes action, adventure, and danger would enjoy reading this because that is just how you would describe this book, action, danger, and adventure.

Summary: Great reading for Fourth Graders
Review: I read this book prior to my fourth grader reading it and enjoyed it from front to back. Practical life skills are incorporated into an intriguing story about an unplanned adventure two young boys suddenly become part of. My fourth grader could not put it down - there are good lessons to be learned from this story and many great topics for discussion at home, as one works their way thru the story.

Summary: Danger in the Desert
Review: I think that this book should get 4 star rating because it has a good start and a good finish. It is about two kids sitting in the car while their mom is getting some root beer. A man gets in the car and steals it and when he looks in the back he finds two kids. He goes to the desert and stops. He gets out and leaves the kids there all by themselves and they don't know where they are. I like this book because it made me wonder what would happen next.

Summary: Danger in the Desert
Review: My class (fourth grade) and I enjoyed reading, Danger in the Desert. Set among the backdrop in the Arizona desert, in the sizzling summer, my class and I were sweating right along with the two brothers, Scott and Robbie. Not only was this an exciting adventure to read but also gave us some real life lessons on desert survival. Ms. Fields really did her homework on educating us on the harsh realities of the summer desert and ways to survive. Told in the voice of Scott, and eleven year old, many young readers will have a character they can relate to. We enjoyed this book, many of my students are reading it again on their own.

Summary: this was an ok book
Review: The book is titled Danger in the Desert. The author is T.S.Fields.

My book is about two little boys that are stuck in the desert. And are trying to survive in the desert. They made things so they could be found. They saw a plane and the plane gives them a note. The note said they would go get help. By the time they got there the younger brother was dehydrated. They went to the hospital to get better.

The point of the story is how to survive.

My personal favorite part is were they make a big "X" with rocks.
