The Cricket in Times Square

The Cricket in Times Square

By George Selden

When Chester Cricket lands in New York, he has no idea what's going on or how he got there and is scared out of his wits. Then, a boy named Mario finds him and takes him to his newsstand where his parents agree with Mario to keep it. When they leave Tucker, a city mouse, comes to visit the cricket. Chester tells him his story and they have some meatloaf together. This book is very funny, entertaining and inspiring and tells us that fame isn't everything.

Mouse and His Child (New Windmills)

Mouse and His Child (New Windmills)

By Russell Hoban

The mouse and his child are two windup mice. Once, they danced in a circle every Christmas, but now, their fur is falling off, their pants are torn, and the only thing they can do is walk straight. The two mice have to evade Manny Rat, who's obsessed with smashing the mouse and his child for making a fool of him. The problem is, the two mice need to be wound up to walk. Will they escape Manny Rat and fulfill their ambition of becoming self-winding? And will they be reunited with their old friends? Or will they be smashed? The book was funny and exciting, and the illustrations were excellent! I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading humorous books about animals.

The Call of the Wild

The Call of the Wild

By Jack London

I think this is the first classic book that I actually ENJOYED. I read the "kids" version for a book report in 3rd grade and really enjoyed it. The "full" version is even better. I liked how Jack London showed what BUCK thought at the moment since many other books hide the feelings of a dog. Overall, very fun to read. I'd recommend for Grades 5+

The Cay

The Cay

By Theodore Taylor

This was an sad yet interesting book. It gave a great message that under different colored skin, we are all the same. At some parts, I almost cried and at other parts, and was very happy. I don't want to give away to much, but here's a little summary. A white boy named Philip gets stranded on an island with a black man named Timothy. Philip has learned to stay away from black people, but Timothy is quite different. They go through extraordinary things together and grow fond of each other. I would recommend this book to 4-6 graders and to people who like adventure and historical fiction. I personally loved this book.

The River (A Hatchet Adventure)

The River (A Hatchet Adventure)

By Gary Paulsen

SavannaMoore

I would read Hatchet first, it would make more sense. He is not alone this time. He has a man named Derek Holtzer with him. But on a stormy night Derek reaches for his briefcase and gets struck by lightning and in a coma. Brian had to build a raft and travel the river to a trading post where they are saved. I totally recommend it! 🙂
