Chancey of the Maury River
By Gigi Amateau
This book is amazing! It's about a horse who, after long last, finds the rider of his dreams but, sadly, becomes blind soon after. I would not recommend if you don't like sad books, otherwise, this book is a wonderful story for readers of all ages.
Don't You Dare Read This, Mrs. Dunphrey
By Margaret Peterson Haddix
This book is about a girl name Tish Bonner making an entry to the teacher that cant read it, about her personal life. I recommend this book because it very interesting and it has a lot of real life situations people go through (good and bad). I was distracted because all the kids were making noise next to my ear.

#poetry This book is written in free-verse poetry with secret messages hidden inside. It's about a young girl who wishes her parents would let her grow up already. There is a twist at the end that leaves you speechless!
Eleven Eleven

Set in the scene of world war one, three men take on war, one an American airman, another a British Tommy and the last a German storm trooper. Eleven Eleven seemed a bit plotless and all over the place. The first few chapters were confusing since it's based off of three different views it was hard to remember who was who. It's critical to have the first few chapters hold the readers attention and be interesting since that's how readers base whether or not they'd like to read the rest of the book I personally would have put the book down. The best part of the book I felt were the last few chapters, though I felt it wasn't that great either way. I would say this book is for younger readers who want to find out more about the war in a simplified version and I would recommend it to people who are more interested in revolution and war.
Just a Dog
By Michael Gerard Bauer
This book was touching, thrilling, and funny. We read it as a read-aloud in our class. We skyped with the author today...no joke! He was funny and kind...no joke!!! I would recommend this book because it brings back good memories and sad memories when I was in my single digits!!!!
Blue (Bakers Mountain Stories)

I couldn't put this book down!! It took place in the 1940's. In the story, Ann Fay's father went off to war, and she and her brother, Bobby, both got Polio. In the hospital, Ann Fay made friends with a black girl named Imogene, and Bobby died from the Polio.
Millions (BCCB Blue Ribbon Fiction Books (Awards))
By Frank Cottrell Boyce
This book is about two kids receive a bag of money from nowhere, and they only have a 2 weeks to spend them all before the money loses its value. I chose this book because I did not know what will happen to two boys if they got a million dollars to spend, and it is very interesting for me to read. The main character in this book were Damian and Anthony. Damian was Anthony's little brother, and Damian believed in saints a lot. Damian was talking about saints all the time. Anthony was Damian’s big brother, and he liked fashion things, such as toys and shoes. The major problem in the book was people were asking them to give out money, and there was a group of robbers coming for the money. My favorite character in this book was Anthony. Anthony was very mature, and he knew how to spend and handle the money. Unlike Anthony, Damian wanted to help poor people, but he used the wrong way. My favorite part of the story was when Damian and Anthony went to school and everyone were asking them to give them money in exchange of their toys. My least favorite part of the story was when Damian started talking about saints, and it just took forever for him to finish that without someone else in the book started a new topic. I recommended this book for people that likes to see how will people reacts in different situations, and guessing what will happen next in the story.
