By Peg Kehret
This is a really good book. Peg Kehret writes lots of good mystery books. This one was about a boy who gets sent to his 90 year old aunt he hasn't ever met before because his parents have to go to India for business. He meets a Ghost named Willie.

I Am Regina
By Sally M. Keehn
Isabella
I am Regina By: Isabella One of my favorite books is I am Regina by Sally M. Keehn. There once was a peaceful family, the Leininger family. This family came from Germany. They came for freedom and moved to Pennsylvania. There are two sisters who are very close their names are Barbara who is older and Regina who is the youngest. On a cold cloudy day, their mother and one of their brothers went to get corn milled. The other brother and the father were outside. Then during lunch, unexpected visitors came to the house. I won’t spoil what happens next. That is what you figure out. My favorite part is when Regina tells children stories about the man of God. It is my favorite part because the kids were listening very closely, and Regina felt happy. I recommend this book to people who like to read and are ready for anything. Don’t read the back. It gives it away. This book is in the historical fiction genre. I love that it takes place during the French and Indian War. It is also based on real facts.

Adventurine has always wanted to explore the world beyond her family's mountain cave. But, as a young dragon, her tough scales aren't fully developed yet, and her family says that the world beyond is too perilous for her. So Adventurine is determined to fly out on her own and prove her family wrong by catching the most dangerous prey of all, a human. But when the human she is hunting tricks her into drinking enchanted hot chocolate, Adventurine transforms into a puny human girl. No more sharp teeth, no more fire breath, and no more claws. She might have transformed into a puny human, but she has found her true passion, chocolate. Now all she has to do is to get into a human city and find herself an apprenticeship in a chocolate house, and she will be conquering new territory in no time, won't she? I LOVED this book! Another of my all time favorite books! I loved Aventurine's adventure and her friend Silke's personality. I would recommend this book for anyone that likes the book The Whiz Pop Chocolate Shop.
Sisters
By David McPhail
This book is probably the book that means the most to me. My sister gave it to me about 4 years ago and it means the world to me. The book is about two sisters (one older one younger) who are different in many ways but also the same in many ways. When you have a sister, it's more then that, it's having a best friend you can tell anything to and not feel like you'll be judged. That's what this book is like in my opinion. I recommend this to sisters everywhere ♥♥♥ Thanks for reading -Ajg16's reviews

Things Not Seen
By Andrew Clements
This book is so realistic I actually believe I might become invisible one day myself! Bobby wakes up one day, normal as ever, until he looks into the mirror. He's...INVISIBLE?! His parents can't believe their eyes either. Until they can figure things out, Bobby has to stay under the radar. In an act of rebellion against his parents' wishes for him to stay at home, keep his invisibility a secret and basically act like he doesn't exist, Bobby goes outside and observes his town from his new invisible perspective. Bobby bumps into a pretty girl at the library and thinks that his life is over, because, well, she'll realize she is talking to an invisible boy!! To his relief, he realizes that the girl, named Alicia, is blind. She has no idea that he's invisible. But with everything crashing down in his life, he figures he needs somebody he can trust, and it turns out that person is Alicia. They begin to open up to each other, Bobby explaining about his invisibility, and Alicia sharing how she became blind 2 years earlier. Of course, though, the trouble just keeps on coming. Representatives from his state's child care services visit his home to make sure he isn't missing, because he has been out of school for over 3 weeks! with "the flu!" There's no way to show that Bobby is alive and well without exposing his secret, so Bobby's family soon finds themselves in a web of lies with seemingly no escape, with even a threat of jail hanging heavy over Bobby's parents' heads! Will Bobby ever find a way to become visible again? And will he ever face his feelings about Alicia? You're in for a wild ride with this incredible sci-fi book by Andrew Clements! One thing I really loved and enjoyed about this book was the fact that the problems and struggles in the book were really realistic. I felt the same emotions that Bobby did as he reacted to new situations, and the way the writing reflected his school and home life were very true for a lot of kids like me, although I'm not invisible :D. And the solution to the problem actually made sense to me! Andrew Clements has always been one of my favorite authors, and this novel did not disappoint! This book was overall an amazing read, I give it 5/5 stars and I recommend it for ages 10+!
