The Floating Circus
By Tracie Vaughn Zimmer
This review is not for this book but for another book that Tracie Vaughn Zimmer wrote called Reaching For Sun.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Have you ever thought about what it would be like to be disabled? In the book Reaching For Sun by Tracie Vaughn Zimmer Josie Wyatt knows what it's like. In the book Josie is the protagonist and antagonist. Josie is different than all the other kids at school, she has a disability called cerebral palsy, her disability is also one of the major conflicts in the book. Josie just wants to have friends and join in on the fun. She wants to be normal. Josie lives with her mom and gran (grandmother) in a farmhouse that has been in the family for years. Josie's grandmother has been forced to sell some of their land due to their shortage of money and with the huge mansions being built behind their house it now seems even smaller. Things seem to just get worse and worse for Josie. But when a boy her age moves into one of the houses being built behind her house things start to look better for Josie. This book takes place during her 7th grade school year at Josie's house, school, and occasionally the nursing home that she and her gran visit. Another major conflict in the book is when the new boy Jordan moves into one of the new houses. The turning point in the book is when Josie stands up to her mom and tells her how she feels. If you're looking for a short read or just a good book then I recommend reading it!

Why Are the Ice Caps Melting?: The Dangers of Global Warming (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 2)
By Anne Rockwell
I liked this book. ( Its pretty good for a fact book and I usually are more into chapter books ). I think this book is meant for both boys and girls because it is mainly about the water and the tree's not so much about people. Its about how the global warming keeps changing things everywhere. Like if the ice melts that floats on the sea then freshwater will get into the ocean and then plankton will die ( plankton is a plant that feeds whales and fish ). If the plankton dies there won't be much living things in the ocean. I think the message in this story is ''help the earth''. Hope you like it!!!!!!!
