This author Jasmine Jones is a pretty good writer because whenever I read a part, a lot of questions came in my mind for example: What if Carl broke his promise? Is his adventure impossible? And so on.

And, the story begins as a boy named Carl Fredricksen who wanted to meet the pilot Charles Muntz. He was walking home when he met a girl Elllie. Ellie is a girl with a messy hair and she was playing a pilot game. What will they do together? Read the book and find out!

One of my favorite parts is when Carl met a talking dog, Dug. I also think it is a very interesting part because I never met a talking dog before! I think this book is pretty good because they have a lot of details to let you visualize the pictures of the real movie of UP. They have some funny and interesting parts in this book. So, I think this book will be good enough for everybody (even adults) to enjoy.

This book is very adventurous because Carl, Russell, Kevin, and Dug went to Paradise falls with a lot of problems coming up! I recommend this book to people that like adventurous stories because they are super adventurous! This book can be a lot of fun. I also recommend this book to ages 9 to adults.

Want to read it? Well, go to the library and check it out!!!

Well, it's a junior novelization so you know how they go: short, bad, non-descriptive, quote for quote, skips whole scenes and doesn't explain how things progressed but it was Up.. so basically the best story evs regardless.

Thumbs up from Daniel. He liked the pictures in the middle from the movie.
