The Hole Story of the Doughnut
By Pat Miller
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.

My Jasper June
By Laurel Snyder
I really like this book!! It is a good story, but also very sad because this does happen in real life and I feel blessed that I have a good home. In this book, there is a girl named Leah, and her and her parents are really depressed because the summer before, Leah's little brother Sam drowned at summer camp. But then Leah meets Jasper, and her life is starting to get happier. She finds out that Jasper lives in a little house in the woods by herself, because she doesn't have the best family. Leah eventually convinces her parents that even though Jasper needs a good home, they cannot give her to the police or send her back to her family. Her parents decide to adopt Jasper, so now even though nothing can really fill the hole in their family, Leah has a new sister. It is so sweet and heartwarming!!
Look Into My Eyes (Ruby Redfort)
By Lauren Child
This book was very exciting and I loved it! There were many action-packed scenes, and was very interesting. I love how the author fit a puzzle for readers into the plot. Lauren Child gives clues throughout the book, I think this is very interesting and fun to do. This book was about a kid genius who is approached by a secret agency to help with a mission in code-breaking. But the mission is getting more dangerous by the minute. Then she has vital information but no has the time to listen to her! Will she be able to save her housekeeper, a national artifact, and the people she loves? I recommend this book to anyone 10 and up. I think anyone younger than that might be intimidated by the intense action.
The One Dollar Horse. by Lauren St John
By Lauren St John
Starting as a one dollar horse from the knacker's yard and then becoming a multi-million dollar horse seems like a miracle, and it was my favourite part of this book. When the author was writing about her riding Storm in the Badminton Trials I felt as if I were there to see it and go on that adventure with her. It was an amazing story about how a horse that didn't trust anyone at first slowly came to forming a strong and almost unbreakable bond with Casey Blue, the main character. They've had their ups and downs but in the end their team work worked out. Great book.
