The Jungle Book
By Rudyard Kipling
Warning!! THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The jungle book is an amazing book! If you are an animal lover, love action, fighting, and suspense then the jungle book is for you. I loved how the author keeps you at the edge of your seat the whole book. In my opinion my favorite part about the jungle book is when Mowgli kills Shere Khan and proves him self. There are 5 different stories in the book itself. My favorite out of all is Rikki-Tikki- Tavi, it is about a mongoose who is trying to protect his family from combra and is amazing. All in all and awesome book!!! Highly suggest reading the Jungle Book.
The Contract (Jeter Publishing)
By Derek Jeter
The Contract is about young Derek Jeter, a middle school boy who loves baseball. Derek dreams of becoming the shortstop player for the New York Yankees when he gets older. In order to help Derek achieve his dream while also focusing on other parts of life Derek's parents put together a contract outlining rules about school and family time. Along with other things he has to keep his grades up, or no baseball. Derek is very excited to play Little League, but is disappointed to find out his team is the Tigers. But, he still is excited to play shortstop. That is until the day he is assigned he starts at second base. And Derek's team definitely has its low points. Can Derek keep up with school and family and pursuing his dream all while trying to keep his team together? To be honest this wasn't my favorite book at all. I like the idea, but in many ways it isn't realistic. One example, is that Derek never loses his temper on the field, and he never says one bad thing to another player. At home he confides in his parents, which is a good model but he also gets over things way too fast. I do however like the theory of the book, and I think some younger boys would like to read it. I rate this book 3 out of 5 stars.

This book was really good. It is about kids who ran away from their homes and traveled to an unknown place just to bury a dool who has been haunting them forever. The doll is actually full of the ashes of a little girl who killed herself and her father. Creepy but awsome.
