omg my friend is writing the same titled book!!!! I THINK HE WILL GET IN TROUBLE BY THE COPS!!!!!!!

I thought this book was pretty good and silly.

But the best part that you think you will have an extra money will go back on. What do things

Olivia is a totally average girl. The only things not average about her that she's half-orphaned, her name is too long, and she has the ability to draw animals (very useful). She has never met her father. Her mother died, so she's living with her aunt and uncle. They never give her any Coke, or let her play on any electronics. She wonders why if they let her cousins play on them. Olivia's best friend suggests they are thieves. But something totally not average happens at school one day- The most popular girl in the school, Annabelle Jenkins, who Olivia thought was her friend, threatens to beat her up. She gets a demerit. She gets knocked down on the bus stop. But the thing that really surprised her was when that all was happening, an angel came to save her. Princess Mia Thermopolis of Genovia pulls up in her limbo and asks Olivia to go to a place of her destination. Of course, New York City to meet her Father!

Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson is about a thirteen year old, Isabel and her younger sister Ruth. The story takes place in New York during the revolutionary war in America. Isabel and her sister are orphaned slaves for The Locktons. Rich and strong supporters of the King. Unsympathetic for the patriots and even less to Isabel and her sister. Isabel yearns for freedom and must break her strong "chains" of slavery. Isabel meets a boy named Curzon, a salve with connections with the patriots, offers her with he opportunity to spy on her owners for details about an expected British invasion. When Isabel's life changes she must decide where her loyalty lays and who can provide her freedom and help her break her "chains." I enjoyed this book and would recommend it for it's wonderful details!

This book is really magnificent. It is really hard to grasp when reading it, that this was some children's lives. I am the kind of reader that after I finish a book, it sticks in my head for a couple of days. I always imagine what I would do in the position of the main character. This book was one of the firsts where I couldn't do that. It is written so well that it is hard to imagine different endings, or different ways that different parts could have gone. This was also probably the very first book that I cried during (granted I was reading this at 10:00 at night and that is not my bedtime so that could had something to do with it) and it is amazing. It is told as a very very long letter that the main character Viji, wrote to her sister (who isn't with her but I'm not telling you why) Rukku, who has a developmental disability. She writes, the story of them living under a bridge with 2 boys. She writes about how they would scrounge through garbage piles looking for things to trade in for money. They were living under the bridge because they were forced to runaway when there father, who mainly abused there mother, started abusing them. It is a story of trust and surviving. I loved this book and think everyone should read it. It is again really hard to grasp that all of this could've happened to some children. That there is a majority of homeless, orphan children living on the streets. It is a great book as I've mentioned and think that everyone (as I've mentioned) should read it.

so this book is cool, it shows the struggles of Chinese in china too, in which many people don't really know that participated in well. its also shows struggles of the brave man. 10/10!

I've read this book so many times I don't even know how many times. Its a good book because you get to learn about all 50 states and what cool sport events are in that state. You also get to learn about people that are popular in that state.

This book is highly recommended for 10 to 13 year-olds. I really loved it and you think it's like Harry Potter but it's not. If you read this make sure to check out books 1,3,4,5,6,and7.

It was a good book to learn about the world and countrys in the world
