Kids Books - Friendship
One Day and One Amazing Morning on Orange Street
By Joanne Rocklin
I really liked this book because it is about residents of Orange Street coming together to save the tree that gave their street it's name. There's only one problem. They don't yet know who wants to chop it down.
The Tell-Tale Start (The Misadventures of Edgar & Allan Poe)
By Gordon McAlpine
Have you ever heard one of Edgar Allen Poe's poems or stories? Well, here's something that I like even better! This is a story about his great-great-great nephews who are twins who can read each other's minds. They have a huge adventure with some parts that might scare some kids. It was my favorite book of the summer. They should have a day dedicated to this book.
Always October
By Bruce Coville
Warning! This review contains spoilers! Jake's dad left one day, and never came back. Lily's parents abandon her, so she lives with her grandfather. Lily and Jake are best friends. One day Jake find's a baby on his door step, and his mother decides to keep it until they can find its parents. It turns out that the baby turns into a monster on the full moon. What I thought of it: Normally I hate books where kid's dads leave (it turns out his dad really didn't leave), but this one was surprisingly good. Jake and Lily were both great characters. The plot was good and interesting, and the end was unexpected. But I wish they hadn't kept the baby. Overall (despite the fact I normally don't read these kinds of books) it was really good.
Shake It Up #1: Center Stage (Shake It Up! Junior Novel)
By Disney Book Group
I decied to read this book because it inspired me to dance for fun. It helped me learn more dance moves any every thing else.
Force Out
By Tim Green
I like this book because Zach and Joey are at a game and Zach hits two triples and a double and Joey struck out twice and flied out to the pitcher. I like this book because its a baseball book and I like the author.

Her dad won't listen to a thing she says. Read it to find out more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Poor Little Witch Girl
By Marie Desplechin
I read this book because I liked what the back said and I liked the cover design. It was a really good book and had all of the character's perspectives except for one. It is about a girl who has to grow up to be a witch because its in her blood, but doesn't want to be a witch if all it means is poisoning the neighbor's dog. Eventually she will get her powers, but will she turn sour like her mom when she gets them? If you want to read this book I can lend it to my grade at my school.
