Strays like Us is a fun, touching, story about a girl and a dog. Fred, never Winifred, has gone to live with Margery, her guardian while her mom is in jail. Margery says to stay away from the dog next door but when Fred hears the dogs pitiful whining how can she possibly stay away? Cecilia Galante is a great author and I think that girls ages 8 through 12 would enjoy this book a lot. Strays like Us has a 3-5 grade reading level and was published in 2018. I hope that you give this book a try.

Amazing! A truly good book, very enthralling and filled with excitement. A must-read for animal lovers! Firestar is now leader of his Clan.

When I found this in my classroom’s book collection, I was like “At last! The graphic novel every fan of the series has been talking about!” I immediately knew I would enjoy this amazing addition to Wings of Fire, even though I rarely read graphic novels or comics. As usual, Tui T. Sutherland did not disappoint. I loved the spectacular illustrations, great characters, and richly imagined plot—I might even like the graphic novel better than the original book. Tui and the illustrator, Mike Holmes, really did an awesome job on this! Summary: Meet Clay. He’s a dragon who’s lived under a mountain for his whole life—and just from the tales that his guardians—Kestrel, Dune, and Webs—tell him, he knows that the outside world is a dangerous place. And it definitely is. Ever since their mother died, three dragon princesses are battling for a throne. Clay and his friends, Tsunami, Starflight, Glory, and Sunny, are hidden away just under the reach of Queen Scarlet, an evil ruler. But one day, Tsunami comes up with a crazy and maybe impossible plan—to escape from under the mountain, and find their true families, who are out there somewhere. None of them can know what lies ahead...because they are the future of the dragon world. Can they escape? Read this book to find out! Overall, I absolutely loved this book, and rate it 5/5 stars. I recommend it to Wings of Fire fans, or anyone who likes graphic novels!

The True Blue Scouts of Sugar Man Swamp by Kathi Appelt is about two raccoons who work in a swamp, doing jobs and following the stars and the fantastical Sugarman for direction. It is a charming story about frindship, perserverance, believeing in each other and fighting with courage for whats right. I would reccomend this books lto lovers of animals and bravery.

Mercy Watson might not be able to get her tail out of this situation. Her neighbors have decided that this is the last straw, and they want to call animal control. This book is hilarious, and I recommend it to people who enjoy comedy books, or people who enjoy other books in this series. I rate this book 5/5.

good book

The Supernatural Society by Rex Ogle was a fun, fantastical, middle grade read packed with lots of diversity. Middle grade books always tend to be the highlight of my reads. They are so fun and bring me back to my elementary school reading days. After all this time, I still love sneaking away to a middle grade book. The nostalgia is real. The Supernatural Society by Rex Ogle popped into my lap and I couldn't help but be excited and giddy. I love fantasy reads in the middle grade world - they explore world building, friendship, magic, science, and all things cool! This book was all of that and more! There's diverse sets of monsters (and cultures!) in this book that can make everyone feel at home. There's some mystery and empathy in this book too, as we truly feel for Will since his life has been turned upside down during a divorce. We all had something like that as a kid - some thing that we struggled with, whether it be losing friends, divorce, difficulty at school, etc. We've all been Will in some way. So, you might have picked up on some of the story so far in this review. Will moves away with his Mom and his best friend/dog Fitz after his Dad gets up and leaves his family. They move to East Emerson, which seems weird and uninviting at first... but proves to be even worse than we imagined because it's full of monsters! But only Will can see them... His Mom thinks he's crazy! The teachers, the crossing guard... There's monsters galore! Eventually he meets some friends at school, adopted siblings Linus and Ivy. Linus is a smart guy who really only wants to focus on his studies, and his sister Ivy is a bit of an outcast, but she does see the monsters too! When Fitz goes missing, along with many other animals in the town, Will, Linus and Ivy team up to try to solve the mystery of the missing pets. Oh, did I mention there's witches, vampires, a mystical fox, a curse, and more magic and science packed tight in this book? It's all so engaging and fun! This book will keep you on your toes and hooked around every corner. I did love the diversity packed into this book. It feels like home. It's not just one culture or one person, it has almost everyone you can imagine. Throw in the sarcastic and fun narrator, and you've got one excellent read. It's reminiscent of reading a book that mashed Harry Potter, Percy Jackson and A Series of Unfortunate Events together. We've got a set of three friends, sarcasm galore, and lots of fun, fantasy hijinks. It's not a carbon copy of these by any means, but it reminds me of those books from my youth. I will say this book is a family friendly story that does not go deep into the dark realms at all. I can see anyone ages six and up taking a stab at this book (depending on your reading level, of course). My only negative for this book is how it ends. The Supernatural Society sets up a large series (that will hopefully be coming soon!). I like books that can stand alone without having to fear that you need to read the next book as soon as possible to continue the story. While I do think that I would pick up the next books in a heartbeat, I really didn't want to be left on a cliffhanger of "find out what hijinks from our friends are next..." in case the next book never comes. So, here's hoping I can get my hands on the next copy to continue seeing our new, fantastical friends. Four out of five stars.

it is about a small dog that can not fall asleep. and to go to sleep biscuit needs a kiss,a story and lots more. you should read it because it is a good book.

to me this is a classic when mr. popper gets a present from his hero in antartica and you'd never guess what it was ill give you a hint its in the title ... a penguin they name this penguin captin cook but when they found out that captain cook was a girl they ended up with 8 more penguins. Then they start performing. I reccomend it to all readers especally if you just finished the twilight saga series and need to get over it ending and some one illegaly put midnight sun on the internet this book is good for you
