From an anonymous 6-1/2-year-old


I recommend The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis because it was adventurous. It was exciting and the witch died!


Also, I recommend Dear Mrs. LaRue by Mark Teague. This book is silly. It was very funny when the dog pictured himself in a dungeon but he was really in a nice place.

Favorite Fiction and Non-Fiction



The book Flush by Carl Hiaasen was interesting because the characters were able to stop the people on the casino boat from dumping their sewage into the ocean. With this problem solved, the Coast Guard would not need to close the beach. I liked the clever way Noah and Abby solved the problem.


The book Saturn by Seymour Simon was interesting because I learned a lot about the planet Saturn. Saturn's rings are made out of small and large pieces of ice, dust, and bits of rocks. Saturn's largest moon is Titan and it is a very cold place. Its temperaturs can go down to 300 degrees below zero.

A Knight's Tale

The book, The Last Knight by Will Eisner, was ok. It's about the last knight who ever lived. He thought a windmill was a dragon and attacked it. The book wasn't quite funny enough, but I liked when he attacked the windmill. That is my book report.

Surprise! Two Harry Potter fans!


I'm reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling and I like it a lot. I'm looking forward to reading the battle for Harry's soul. I liked the D.A. meetings. I like the fights and I like that he can see what Voldemort sees. That is why I like Harry Potter.


Hi, my book was Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, It will make you have bad mixed emotions. It is just a thiller with a pinch of love. That's why you should read Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.

Two views on Samantha



The book Meet Samantha is a wonderful book. It is about three girls who went to an island because Samantha wanted to see what it is like there because she saw the pictures her mother painted and she wanted to see the place again. My favorite part was when Agnes and Agatha go to Pine Point.

The book Meet Samantha by Susan Adler is good. . I like the part where Samantha meets Nellie. I think Eddie Ryland is annoying, just like my brother. The part that I don't like is when Nellie leaves. I want to read more Samantha books.

Maya recommends...

The Dear Dumb Diary series by Jim Benton: Let's Pretend That Never Happened was hilarious . You should read it .


Judy Moody Gets Famous by Megan McDonald was really good. Read it.
