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.
