Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
I love this book! J.K. Rowling, the author, did a wonderful job of writing it. It is about a wizard and his problems and friends at a wizard school called Hogwarts. Then Harry and his friends find out about a special stone and try to save it. This is an excellent book and you should read it.
The Cupid Chronicles
This book is about a girl and her mother who is a retired wedding planner. Their town, Cape Cod, has a library, and the girl is traving to save it from closing along with dealing with her social life. The sequel to this book, The Wedding Planner's Daughter, is a great book as well.

Franny K Stein, Mad Scientist: Lunch Walks Among Us
I like this book because it is funny. It is funny because there is a pumpkin man who takes the teacher and brings her up the flag pole and Franny has to make a meat man out of the kids' lunches and the meat man has to shake the pole to make the pumpkin man drop the teacher. Franny puts the bread from the kids' lunches under the flag pole so the teacher can have a safe fall. That is why this book is funny.
Franny K. Stein, Mad Scientist: The Invisible Fran
In this book the class has to show their hobbies so Franny makes a robot. She drinks a formula to make herself invisible and tells the kids to fix the robot but since she was invisible it was like they were thinking. The kids think they are mad scientists because they fixed the robot instead of Franny. Before school they accidentally make the robot stupid so it destroys part of the school. In the end they use their hobbies to destroy the robot.

Some Anonymous Reviews
The book Sarah Plain and Tall was great . I was really sad when I found out the kids' mom died.
I read The Deliverance of Bears by Elizabeth Stanley. I think it was one of the best books I've read. It's about the freedom and happinessof bears and what someone did to save a bear that was being tortured. He bought the bear with the money he earned to buy something he needed.
I read the book Hoot by Carl Hiaasen and I thought the author put so much details that you can picture being there. It never gets boring because there is always something happening. Every time I read a chapter I couldn't wait to read more. It felt like I was in the position the kids in the story were in. I never wanted to stop. Hoot is about three kids trying to save owls. Their homes are being destroyed by bulldozers to build a pancake house. The builders don't believe the kids when they say that owls live there. Will the kids stand up to the builders and save the owls? You'll have to read the book to find out.
I read Ellen Tebbits and I thought the author put you in the situation that the characters were in. It's about two best friends surviving school and friendships. I loved the words she used.
I read the book The Sight. It's very sad, exciting, scary, and surprising. It's all about wolves and what's going on in their lives. There's an evil wolf named Morgra who's trying to kill another pack of wolves. Will she kill them or won't she? Read it and find out!

Andrew Clements is my favorite author!
The book The School Story was so good . It was by the author i like most. I had even gotten the book at Baldwin for completing 24 activities in the summer reading last year.
Great for Summer Reading!
I like the book Diary of a Fly because I like the way that they try to teach each other what they do best and neither can succeed. I think it'sfunny that Spider laughs so hard that he falls out of his tree. Irecommend it to anyone who likes funny stories.
I like the book No English because I like the way Diane wanted to make up for being a tattle tale on Blanca just because she was drawing in a spelling bee. I think it would be hard to be nowhere near pepole that you understand. She was the only one in her school that was from Argentina. One day when her class was in the library Diane saw a book with Spanish and gave it to Blanca. When she opened it her eyes lit up. She thanked Diane and they became friends. When they went back to the class room it was time for a spelling bee. This time Diane drew pictures of each other. They where sent to the office and the principal asked to see their pictures and he hung them outside the office door. They were happy.

What Meaghan Liked
I liked the book Little Women. It is about five girls growing up while there ma works and father is at war. It is all about how they grow up and where there journeys take them. But sadly one of the girls passes away from a disease. But in the end all girls marry and I guess you could say live happily ever after. So check out Little Women today!
I liked the book Amelia's Notebook. It is about a girl who is moving from her old house and has to leave all her precious things behind (like her best friend). She also has an anoying sister named Cleo. I like it because it is not a book book it has lots of misspellings and pictures. Amelia I think has a great sense of humor. So check out Amelia's Notebook today at Baldwin!
