Home the Movie Lands on Planet Earth
By Miranda Anastasia
Home is a movie about a little alien named Oh, who’s part of the Boov alien race. The Boov are looking for a new home, because they are running away from the Gorg, their enemy. The Boov stole an object from the Gorg, so that’s why they are running away. The Boov’s leader, Captain Smek, decides to take over the Earth and live there.
After they land on Planet Earth, they try to relocate the human population. All humans are evacuated from the Earth, except for a little girl named Gratuity “Tip” Tucci. When the Boov were relocating the humans, they happened to take her mother and accidentally leave Tip behind. When Tip runs into the alien Oh in a store, they go on an adventure together to find Tip’s mom.
Jim Parsons plays Oh, Rihanna plays Tip, Jennifer Lopez plays Tip’s mother, and Steve Martin plays Captain Smek. “My favorite part of the movie is when the alien danced in the car and said ‘my hands are in the air like I just do not care,’”said Mckenna Sas, a seventh grader on Team Titans.

New Characters Come to Life in The Unwanteds
By Sandalie Gamage
The Unwanteds goes to show that sometimes fighting is necessary to survive. Two twin brothers, Aaron and Alex are born in a land with no art. Quill, a barren land run by the High Priest Justine, does not allow any forms of art.
The boys are put through the annual Purge where the Wanteds go to the University of Quill, the Necessaries work inside of Quill, and the Unwanteds are sent to die. Though Aaron is sure of being a Wanted or a Necessary, Alex has one infraction on his mind.
While Aaron goes through long hours of work and study in Quill, Alex has an adventure with his new and old friends. The brothers, though far apart, miss each other. One, however, cannot show that, because otherwise, he faces a punishment worse than death itself.
The Unwanteds tells a tale of friendship, family, and treachery. Lisa McMann shows that sometimes people can come between you and the ones you love.
“I love how the author brings the characters to life,” said Rianna Real, a 7th grader on the Monarchs.
“The Hunger Games meets Harry Potter,” said Kirkus Reviews. The Unwanteds has magic and fighting and much more. Find out more about Alex and Aaron, Quill, the Officers, and the mystical land of Artime.
