I'm (Alex) writing a book review on these books:
F IN EXAMS
Who Could That Be at This Hour?
MASTERPIECE
Hanukkah, Shmanukkah!
F IN EXAMS is about "The Very Best Totally Wrong Answers". It's very funny and has a couple of chapters such as: chemistry, biology, physics, math, business and technology, psychology, history and geography, and english. Although it's funny, it doesn't have any story.
Who Could That Be at This Hour? is a book about the author (Lemony Snicket) being an apprentice to S. Theodora Markson. I don't want to ruin the story line for you, but they are trying to get back the stolen Bombating Beast statue that was never stolen.
MASTERPIECE is about a beetle who lives in a human's house. James, the child, has a terrible birthday. Marvin, the beetle, feels sorry for him and secretly gives him a buffalo nickel. He spies the pen and ink set James got from his dad. He dips his front legs into the ink and draws a picture for James. He discovered Marvin drew it, and the 2 friends solve a mystery.
Hanukkah, Shmanukkah! is basically the jewish version of "A Christmas Carol". Old Man Scroogemacher is cruel to his workers in his waistcoat factory. Then, at night, he gets visited by the rabbis of Hanukkah past, present, and future. At first Scroogemacher has no change of heart, but he is suprised when he finds out that something one of the rabbis told him was true. That is when he becomes nice to his workers.
