Alex recommends...Amulet book 1: Amulet is a very sad story but is still a good story. It is about a girl that got in a car accident. She landed in a tree and her dad was trapped in the car and the car fell out of the tree and he died. Then she moved to a mansion with her mom and her brother. it was haunted with mysterious monsters. Her house was a gadget that was like a monster. But it didn't hurt the people inside. The girl went downstairs and found a crystal necklace that was called an Amulet and that's what gave her power. Her mom was also tortured by a monster.

Alex also recommends... Warriors Book 1: Why I like this book is because it's very adventurous and is about a cat that was lost and is trying find his back way home. The cat's name was Graystripe and he makes a new friend on the way. Also he had to live in a normal house with humans and he did not like it one bit. All Graystripe liked was his new friend.

Do Unto Otters: A Book About Manners by Laurie Keller. This book is about a rabbit that has otters as his new next door neighbors. It is a book about having good manners, like saying Excuse Me, Please and Thank You and sharing. The rabbit thinks about how he would like to be treated and how to treat the otters. It was a funny book; I like the pictures. It is one of my favorites and I have read it a few times.

Mummies in the Morning (Magic Tree House) by Mary Pope Osborne. The Magic Tree House books are about two kids named Jack and Annie. When they get in the magic tree house they pick out a book of where they want to go. In this book they go to ancient Egypt. They go into a pyramid where there are tomb robbers. There are traps to stop tomb robbers from stealing stuff from mummies. Jack and Annie get lost in the burial chambers of a pyramid. They follow the meow of a cat to find their way out. It is a chapter book. I like the book because the story was good. It was kind of scary. I like all the Magic Tree House books I have read so far.

A Giant Peach Fan

James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl was a good book because it told about how James moves in with his evil step aunts and then the aunts find a peach that grows so big that it falls off the tree. Then James drops some magic beans on the ground and then a hole appears in the peach and James crawled into it. James then discovered there were bugs living in the peach. James becomes friends with the bugs and then goes on a bunch of adventures and then they become friends in the end.

Grace's Recommendations

Grace recommends...Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse is a great read!!! It is a Newbery honor book. It's a true story written in poems. It is a little sad in parts because she kills her mom on accident and her hand is burned off, but you will feel like you are in the book and feel bad for her.

Grace recommends Allie Finkle's Rules for Girls: Best Friends and Drama Queens by Meg Cabot. This book is the most recent in a series and I think it was the best! It is about friendship and caring for others and dealing with bullies. I think this book would be great for any girl in 3rd - 5th grades. Happy reading!

Emma recommends...

I like the book Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. My favorite part of it is when Harry finds out he is a wizard.Hagrid[the hogwarts game keeper] barges into Harry's house on Harry's birthday to give Harry a present and a letter. The letter is inviting him to atend the Hogwarts School of Wichcraft and Wizardry. Before then,Harry had known nothing about how his parents had died, if he was a wizard or not, nothing! Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is a great book!! -Emma Synnestvedt

I like the book Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. My favorite part of the book is when Harry is fighting the basilisk. At first Harry has no weapon at all,but Professor Dumbledore sends Harry the sorting hat with his pheonix. After a few minutes of fighting the basilisk Harry sees a sword in the sorting hat, so he grabs it. He stabs the basilisk and kills it.

Isaac's Top Picks

I like the Horrible Harry books by Suzy Kline because they always do something cool in them. Like one time they went out to sea.

I like the Magic Tree House books because Jack and Annie always go somewhere back in time.

Grace N. Likes E.B. White!

I liked the book The Trumpet of The Swan by E.B White because the boy in this book helps a swan, because the Swan cannot talk. The way the boy helped the Swan was by giving the swan a Trumpet. That is why the book is called The Trumpet of The Swan.

I really liked the book Charlotte's Web by E.B White. I would give it a two thumbs up because I really like books where animals can talk. I also liked the book because it is about how you should keep your promises. The promise was to save Wilbur from getting butchered at Christmas time. That is why I liked the book!!!

Holes by Louis Sachar -- two thumbs up!

I read the book Holes. Holes is about a boy who was always different and stood out from the crowd and one day he was coming home from school and a pair of shoes fell on him and it turns out the shoes were stolenand Stanley is being arrested and he has a choice of going to Camp Green Lake or jail and to see what stanley does read the book to find out!

Good and Bad

Missing Gator of Gumbo Limbo Hole is not a very good book. It is a mystery that no one who reads it can follow it. This was the worst book I ever read.

The Last Olympian By Rick Riordan is an exciting book to end the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. Kronos is attacking Olympus and Nico's secret is revealed. I recommend this book to people who like adventure.

Rapunzel's Revenge

This graphic novel by Shannon & Dean Hale (married), illustrated by Nathan Hale (no relation), is a really fun take on the traditional Rapunzel tale. Rapunzel uses her hair to lasso villains, and Jack (of beanstalk fame), comes along for the adventure. And what an adventure it is!

Waiting for Normal

Leslie Connor tells a great story about Addie, who wants nothing more than a normal life. Now that her mom and her stepdad are divorced, she and her mom are living in a little trailer and Addie's half-sisters have moved away. But with some new friends and a little luck, things just might turn out better than normal in the end. Addie is a character you will happily root for! Recommended for ages 10 and up.
