Legend of the Ghost Dog
By Elizabeth Cody Kimmel
The author of this book is Elizabeth Cody Kimmel, she mostly write about scary stories, with story that have dogs in it, and girl stories. The different between Kimmel work and other authors works, is that the book is about a ghost dog and other author might write about something different. Tee (everybody in her family and friend call her Tee, that is her nickname, plus her real name is Anita) and Dodie narrate the whole story about the book. Dodie narrated his years ago (flash back, which is italic) story. Tee narrate the present day in the story of this book. The setting take place at Nome, Alaska, in the summer. The genre of this book is mystery, kinda realistic fiction, and maybe a tiny fantasy. The theme (lesson) in the story is trust other people, like your friend and other people that you know. maybe another theme ( lesson) in the story is don't hurry ( take your time, don't rush ) and know what is best for you. I like this book because it is very interesting and exciting, if you read it at night and think about ghost haunting you it, it will make it scary (that is what I feel). What I don't like about this book is that, it is kinda boring at some parts in the story and there is not much characters in the book. I would read more book about the author books because what I really like about this book. I will encourage other people to read this book because they might learn something and might like this book.

Surprise Attack of Jabba the Puppett (Origami Yoda)
By Tom Angleberger
Cool book!! In the 4th book of the Origami series, you will find out Mr. Howell's secrets and will see the rebel's actions. How will they ever be able to fully demolish the school's horrible learning system? I would recommend this for ages 9+ i liked this book a lot but it wasn't as good as the other ones. The pace sort of lagged and some parts of the book were boring. This might be the worst book in the series.

On their journey to find the flag they meet a crazy poodle, a mysterious snake-arm man, and a soon-to-be president. Can they stop the culprits from escaping? In this intense novel you'll find out. It will take you on an adventure you'll never forget. I give Capture The Flag 5 stars.
