The Wednesday Wars by Gary Schmidt. This book is really great. I liked Holling, a 7th grader, for trying to live through Wednesday afternoons by himself with Mrs. Baker, a teacher he thinks hates him. I think it's a great book.

I liked the book James and the Giant Peach because it has giant critters and it's funny! James and the Giant Peach is a book about a boy named James and he lived with two mean aunts. His aunts' names were Aunt Spiker and Aunt Sponge. One day when James was chopping down a tree, he saw a man in the bushes. The man gave him 10 green things and he told James to sneak in to the house and get a big jug of water and put the green things in the water and drink it all. His Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker saw him and James fell and all the green things fell out of the bag and disappeared into the ground. The next day James woke up and there was a peach on the peach tree. The peach tree had never produced a peach before. His Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker saw a little tiny blossom. The peach that was growing, kept growing and growing and growing! At night, James snuck out of the house and discovered a hole in the peach. Inside the peach he crawled and crawled until he came to the stone in the middle of the peach. And there was a door that appears on the stone. James knocked on the door and Miss Ladybug opens the door. There are bugs in the stone! They have been waiting for James to come. There was Miss Ladybug, Miss Spider, a centipede, an earthworm, a grasshopper, a glow worm and a silk worm. The next morning Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker went out to see the peach. The Centipede went on top of the peach to bite thru the stem. The peach rolled and Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker were out looking for James and the peach rolled over the top of them and SQISHED them flat! The peach rolled into the Atlantic Ocean and traveled and traveled. You have to read the book to find out what happens next! By Victoria - 2nd grader(dictated by Victoria; typed by mom!)

Hot Fudge Hero by Pat Brisson. I am interrested in this book because Bertie threw a ball over this mean guy's fence and Bertie had to make friends with with him to get the ball back and he did. Bertie and his friend had a bet and Bertie won a hot fudge sundae.

Third-grader Andrew also recommends...

Mush, a Dog from Space by Daniel Pinkwater. I like this book because it is funny because Mush comes from another planet and he can talk. He meets a little girl and she takes Mush home with her. He helps the family in different ways.

I recommend not one book, but an entire series. The Nancy Drew series is one of the best series I've read! There are over 100 books in the series, and some good ones are: "Mystery of the Mother Wolf", "Mystery at Morsea Manor" "Trade Wind Danger" and "The Clues Challenge". Not to mention every other book, but those are the ones I’ve read. The Movie is also great, but if you don't like it it is a little different then the Nancy Drew books. Please try at least one…they will have you reading for the whole summer!

Miss Laurie adds: There are all kinds of Nancy Drew series to enjoy, including graphic novels! Ask a Librarian to help you find a good one!

Truman recommends...

The Official Pokemon Handbook #3 edited by Josh Izzo and Stephanie Howze is awesome because it has cool Pokemon and it sows the new Pokemon. The Official Pokemon Pokedex by Tracey West and Katherine Noll is cool because there is new legendary Pokemon in it.

Anonymous recommends Henry and Mudge

I like Henry and Mudge because Mudge is funny and Henry is also funny. I think it is also a good book for 7-year-old boys.

(A librarian says: Check out the Beginning to Read section for the Henry and Mudge series by Cynthia Rylant.)

Secrets of Droon

Anonymous says: I liked The Secrets of Droon because it had action. I think it is a good book for 7-year-old boys.

I think the book The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo was an excellent book. There were many adventures about this little mouse of what he did it was amazing! I think this book was great it is a little over 300 pages but it's great!

I thought that the book/poem The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein was awesome! It was about a guy who found this tree and the tree gave so much that it was reduced to a stump but then all the man wanted to do was have a place to sit so he sat on the stump.
