Olive's Ocean (Newbery Honor Book)

Olive's Ocean (Newbery Honor Book)

By Kevin Henkes

I made a connection of how Martha Boyle is twelve years old and I'm about to turn twelve. A summary of this book a stranger knocks on twelve-year-old Martha Boyle's door and hands her a piece of paper. She identifies herself as Olive Barstow's mother, then she thanks Martha and leaves. Martha is startled because Olive was a girl in her grade last year who had recently died after being hit by a car. I give this book a three star star rating because the characters are a great part of this book, but at some points it would get sad.

Play Ball! (Little League)

Play Ball! (Little League)

By Matt Christopher

Play ball by Matt Christopher. The book is realistic fiction and adventure. Carter and Liam have been playing baseball since they were little. Then Liam moved to California. When Liam moved to California. Ash Labrie moved into Liam’s old house. And took over his position as catcher. My favorite part of the book is when Ash followed Carter to his hideout and Carter had to lie about were he was going so Ash did not follow him. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes baseball.
