Do kids really come cheaper by the dozen? Yes and No. This book is hilarious. The Gilbreth family is a large one indeed, and cutting costs is next to impossible. But this family runs efficiently. And hilariously. As the Gilbreth family pulls together, they go through all sorts of hilarious experiences and events that keep you laughing throughout the whole book. This was a really great read.

I survied The San Franscisco Earthquake was awsome. It was like I was in the earthquake. I loved the similies writen when the earthquake just began to rumble. I also liked when the narator told the storys of grandpop. The book was scary, funny, and action packed. I recomend it to all my friends.

Brothers at Bat is a nice book that explains the true story of an amazing all-brother baseball team. They face many challenges playing baseball, like a brother who injures an eye. But they keep together and they show the legacy of an all-brother team. It has all the features you are looking for in a good book, which is why this book is so memorable.

my fave part: vader: (something about destroying the rebels blah blah blah) leia: (running in for a hug) "Hi daddy!"

Stella by Starlight by Sharon M. Draper is about a girl named Stella and her journey as a young black girl in town inhabited by the KKK. She has to always be wary, on edge, and faces many hardships and unjust events. Throughout she remains strong and helps support her family through the tough times. I really liked reading this book even though it made me sad to think that this rascism still happens today. It made me wish that everyone could just accept each other and hold each other up like they do in this book. I would reccomend it to lovers of great historical fiction.

This book, based on a true story, takes place during the civil war, when a bunch of mill workers, young and old, are taken from a southern mill, and shipped of to Georgia. The main character, Hannalee, promised her mother she would return. And so we follow Hannalee on an amazing journey as she gets bound as a servant, escapes and flees to find her brother, Jem. together, Hannalee and Jem travel back to their home. This story was touching, and showed the unfair treatment of the mill workers taken from their homes, I found it very memorable.

Mary Alice and Joe thought they where going to have a normal summer with their perfectly normal grandmother. Wrong. So wrong. There grandma might as well be the craziest grandma anyone could ever have. And the kindest. And the funniest. And the trickiest. Although Mary Alice and Joe are a long way from Chicago everything is going to be okay as they learn important lessons and make friends. My brothers and I laughed so much when we read this book for school. It is really funny.

I don't usually like history-type books, but this one seemed fun. The bonus? It was about doughnuts, one of my favorite topics. It was fun to learn about the history of doughnuts. It also taught me that people can play different roles in history.
