The Indian in the Cupboard-4 Vol. Boxed Set
By Lynne Reid Banks
This review is for THE INDIAN IN THE CUPBOARD. Omri’s friend Patrick gave him a toy Indian for his birthday. He is not that happy-he was hoping for something better. But something miraculous happens; the Indian comes alive! Omri thinks that is the best thing in the world, but he soon learns it is a big responsibility since this Indian is a living breathing person and has his own life; he is not a toy any more. In a struggle to keep the Indian a secret and Patrick not envious, Lynne Reid Banks comes in with a great start to the 5-book series. My thoughts: I really liked this book! I thought the plot was great and the storyline was excellent. I loved how the Indian came to life; it would be boring if he hadn’t. The setting in England was played out very well, as was the struggle to keep Little Bear (the Indian) a secret. The illustrations went very well with the text, even if there were few of them. This book has been on my to-read list for years, sitting on my shelf but I FINALLY read it. I am glad I did. I can not wait to read more of the adventures of Omri and Little Bear.

Coram Boy (Costa Children's Book Award (Awards))
By Jamila Gavin
Coram Boy is a book that is set it in the 18th century and I feel as if this book was really detailed and the writing felt like it was truly from the 18-th century. It is pretty dramatic and somewhat sad about a man who everyone calls the Coram Man. Families give him money and their children hoping that he'll take them to the Coram Hospital to have a good life, but the Coram Man almost never brings the children to the hospital besides a select few. After Mish escaped from his father's brutality and saved one of the children he starts a new life at the Coram Hospital. Overall I think it was a great read even though in certain parts I was slightly confused with the writing.

Lucky Stars #2: Wish Upon a Pet
By Phoebe Bright
I love Lucky Stars. I bought the fist book, but I can't get the second book. I'm hoping I can get it, but I got the first book at my school book sale, and this is my last year in my elementary school, so I can't buy anymore.
Odd and the Frost Giants
By Neil Gaiman
I love this book. I was interested in it because it was about Norse mythology. I am reading the book list for the fifth grade Battle of the Books teams and this is on it. The imagery in the book is excellent and it was interesting the entire way through. I read it in one day. I highly recommend it.
