Winterhouse

Winterhouse

By Ben Guterson

If I could give this book 6 stars, I totally would! This book was so fun and mysterious! The code that I learned from this book is very cool, and I'm actually going to tell all of my friends about it too! The main characters, Elizabeth and Freddy were codemasters and made word ladders and anagrams, which were really fun to read about. Ben Guterson really mastered the art of pulling a reader into a book and making it seem that they were really at Winterhouse with the characters. The ending was really surprising, and I really want to know what happens in the next book. I'm sure that I'll love that one too! Have fun reading this awesome book! It was Bear-y good! ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ ~ Lotte Parker

Room One: A Mystery or Two

Room One: A Mystery or Two

By Andrew Clements

I really loved this book. It's about a kid named Ted who lives in a really tiny town. Lots of people are moving out and this means that the school now has only one room and only 9 students. Some people want to shut down the school but they can't do it until next year, which scares Ted and his teacher, Mrs. Mitchell. But one day, he discovers a family of 3 living in an abandoned house, and they are scared that the police will capture them and take them away, so they are hiding. Ted decides to keep it a secret and help them, and changes his city forever. It was a really good book and I really enjoyed reading it. It was really interesting and I thought the characters were really interesting, especially Ted.
