Violet was chosen to play in the orchestra with her violin in the production of the play Romeo and Juliet in London! The Thea Sisters started to notice strange things occuring during the rehearsals. They conclude that someone is attemping to sabotage the production! Can they uncover the phantom before the show is ruined??

I didn't like this book that much because the girl didn't feel like she was 9. The feelings were portrayed well and the descriptions were good but the pace was so bumpy which I did not like. I would recommend this for ages 9+

Julia Alvarez, the author of Before we were Free takes readers back in time to the 60s in Dominican Republic. The setting is in the Dominican Republic in 1960. Some of the main characters are Anita, Carla, Mami, Papi and Tio Toni. Some of the plot is the SIM invades Anita’s house. Julia’s writing style is in first person. I don’t like it because it was hard to follow who was who. She makes it confusing on whether Chucha is a human or a pet. It also does not feel like you are in Dominican Republic in the 1960’s.

I was long and had to many spanish words. If you like action adventure or fantasy than this book is not for you. If you like books about social issues than this book is for you. Before we were free was given the Pura Belpre Award. Julia grew up in the Dominican Republic.

This was a pretty good book. It talked about a lot of different machines. I really liked the garbage truck the best. It had good pictures.

When Pacy's mom tells her that this is a good year for friends, family, and "finding herself," Pacy begins searching right away. As the year goes on, she struggles to find her talent, deals with disappointment, makes a new best friend, and discovers just why the Year of the Dog is a lucky one for her after all.

This book was easy to read. I really liked the pictures. It was a good story that kept me entertained. I would read it again.

Princess Pigsty will have you surprised. She is so independent and not your typical princess. I really liked the king too. It has a good ending.

I really like Elsa and Anna. They are really nice to each other and are good sisters. I was scared in the middle, but was glad it had a good ending.

I really loved this book. It's about a kid named Ted who lives in a really tiny town. Lots of people are moving out and this means that the school now has only one room and only 9 students. Some people want to shut down the school but they can't do it until next year, which scares Ted and his teacher, Mrs. Mitchell. But one day, he discovers a family of 3 living in an abandoned house, and they are scared that the police will capture them and take them away, so they are hiding. Ted decides to keep it a secret and help them, and changes his city forever. It was a really good book and I really enjoyed reading it. It was really interesting and I thought the characters were really interesting, especially Ted.

This adventure is to England 😄 and in this book they see this said bear named Dan the dancing 💃 bear .and Annie is really sad for the bear because it is trapped.the entire book Annie is talking about it.and they meet this nice guy that says that they need to go onstage a preform .and Jack didn't want to do it but Annie talked him into it also Annie had to dress up as a boy because only boys could go on stage.😉they both go on stage and they do great.but it then out that guy was William Shakespeare!I think this was a good book but I think around 8 year olds with like it but I still rate it 3/5 stars 😁 😁 Pizzagirl7 😁 😁
