Summary: 4 Stars
By Adina G.
Jaguar is a book of adventure, the main characters name is Jake and he goes to Brazil with his dad to work on a jaguar preserve. I wouldn't read the book again but it was pretty good. My favorite part of the book is when a bad guy named Tyler died by a bow and arrow. Flanna was my favorite character because she killed a bad guy named Tyler. I would recommend this book to people who like adventure.
I give this book three stars.

Jaguar is a story about a boy named Jake. He, his dad, and some friends have to set up a preserve while watching out for an evil man named Tyler. They also deal with all these other problems like mosquitoes, death, and a lot of confusion about what to do next.
This is a great story to read and I would recommend it to just about everybody. It was interesting and had a lot of details. The author has good writing and made the book sound amazing. The only things that where bad was how he rushed the ending and didn't use very many interesting words. But in the end it still turned out to be a great book. If I would have to grade this book I would give it four and a half stars.
By Josiah
Jaguar is a story about a boy named Jake and his father Doc/Bob who goes to a preserve in Manaus, Brazil. But a mysterious man is following him with a scar across his eye. An unexpected twist happens at the end of the book finds something he did not expect to find. On the way he meets some new friends Flanna, Buzz, Raul, and maybe Silver. Jake lost his mom in the divorce but maybe a new one apparently Doc/Bob is hanging around with Flanna... A lot!
Honestly I don't think it's not that good. But for people who love traveling and adventure. If I were a critic I'd give it a 3 star rating. The only reason I'd do that is because I don't like reading. But if I did it would be a great book.

Jaguar is about a boy named Jake and his dad named Bob but people call him Doc. They go on a trip to a jaguar preserve and they confront secrets, dangers, and new people along the path.
The main characters are Jake and Doc. They have to go to help the jaguar preserve get more jaguars. Jake and Doc run into many problems and adventures too.
Personally I really liked the book. My favorite part in the book was when Jake has to take apart the morpho and rebuild it. The part when he's at the retirement home was kind of boring but it gets really exiting.
I really recommend for people to read this book it's a great book with secrets and mysteries. I think people that like adventure books should read this book. I would give this book 4 stars.

Jaguar is a story about a boy named Jake who is 14 years old and he follows his dad to Brazil. The main characters are a boy named Jake, his father Bob (Doc), and Taw. My favorite character is Jake because he is very adventurous and curious. I would recommend this book to any one who is older than 8 years old. I loved this book it was very adventurous and very good choice of words.

Jaguar is an exciting book about a 14-year-old boy (Jake) who has a dad that is building a jaguar preserve. One day Jake goes to Brazil with his father. And faces danger, jaguars and guns.
This book is great and has a lot of intense moments. This book really makes you think something will happen. And it never does. This book may seem like it has a bunch of jaguars in it, but it only has a few, and the book only mentions them a little.
I warn you some people die in this book. I won't tell you who, how, or how many. There are only 2 girls in this book. Flanna and Scarlet. But Scarlet is a parrot.
FLANNA: a go lucky girl that hates violence and would cry if someone evil died. (Or someone good died.)
SILVER: A man who meets everyone a bit after the beginning. He seems nice, yet very suspicious...
BOB (a.k.a. Doc): The main characters father. He dates Flanna.
JAKE: The main character. He is 14 and lives in a retirement home. His dad made him live there.
FRANK: A mysterious man you meet later in the book...
TYLER: It's a secret...
SCARLET: Silver's pet bird.
BETH: Jake's mom who died before the book.
BILL: The man who starts the idea of making a preserve.
I give this book 5 stars.
By KY
Jaguar is about a boy and his dad who goes on a trip and face many dangers.
The author wrote this book very good there is a bunch of really good sentence fluency and they're a bunch of twist and turns. You would love this book. There are lots of different emotions. People die, hidden treasure, etc. overall 4 out of 5.

Jaguar is a book about a boy named Jake who follows his dad to Manaus. One problem they ran into was they were in Manaus and a boat exploded and Bill Bruster died. Doc had to continue building the jaguar preserve. I liked the book but it was kind of hard to follow because it had too many twists and turns. I recommend reading it because it is interesting but hard to follow.
I'd give it three stars.
BY PELE I-J
Jaguar is a story about a 14-year-old kid named Jake that follows his dad to Brazil.
The main characters of this story are Bob [Doc], Jake, Flanna, Silver, and Raul. My favorite character was Silver because he didn't turn out who you would think he would be.
I would recommend this book because it is very fun to follow and is intense. It has nice interesting words and is very descriptive. I would give this book 4 stars.
By: ShyanneB.
I think the Author did a really good job writing the book Jaguar. In my opinion Roland Smith should keep writing books, because I would LOVE reading more of his books. I also liked it because I felt like I was apart of the book.
The ending of the book was the greatest of all to me. Why? Because it all came clear to me. Who I thought was the bad guy turned out to be the good guy. That is why I recommend Jaguar.
4 out of 5 stars awarded.
