But the ending is so heartwarming, I don`t want to spoil this book for you but one boy that Tabitha met, Oliver Appleby, is her friend until Oliver and Tabitha both discorved (sorry if I spelt that word wrong) were TWINS! I would def recommend this book!

From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler
By E.L. Konigsburg
E. L. Konigsburg is one of my favorite authors. This story was about one girl named Claudia, and one boy named Jamie. They decide to run away from their house because they think their parents were too bossy to them. They decide to run away to the Metropolitan Museum, which was kind of weird in my personal way. It was amazing how they didn't get noticed in the beginning, but at the end, they get to a newspaper and got caught from their parent's notice to to the FBI. I love this book. Out of 100, I would give this book 100.
A Snicker of Magic
By Natalie Lloyd
This book is definitely a "Snicker of Magic." The main character Felicity Pickle, who has a very special talent, goes on a spindiddly adventure with her mother, who has a wandering heart, her sister, weird but wonderful, her dog biscuit, who is a great companion, and their trusty car, the Pickled Jalapeño. They drive off to a once magical town where Felicity finally feels at home, although her mother is already planning on leaving. With the help of her newfound friend Jonah, Felicity learns to face her fears and even breaks a curse on the way. My favorite quote from the book was, "I bet there's a snicker of magic on every street, in every old building, every broken heart, every word of a story. Maybe it's hidden away and you need to look harder for it. or maybe the magic is right there right in front of you, and all you have to do is believe." I really liked the quote because it says that magic is all around us and sometimes all we really have to do is believe in it.
The Story of a Seagull and the Cat Who Taught Her to Fly
By Luis Sepulveda
There's a seagull! It just flew through Zorba's window. That's strange. Why is it covered in oil??????????? The seagull, whose name is Kengah, lays an egg. Then she dies. But before that, she tells Zorba, who is a cat, to look after the egg, and when the chick hatches, to teach it to fly. And Zorba agrees. Soon, he has told his cat friends, Einstein, Colonel, and Secretario. But no matter how many times Einstein consults the encyclopedia, the cats cannot figure out how to teach Lucky to fly. And she is losing hope! How will they do it? The book was easy to read and not very long. I also liked the illustrations except for the ones on pages 33 and 113, which were VERY weird. And it was very interesting to read and good.

By Crystal Allen
Anonymus
I liked that this author made the good guy slowly turn bad. Even if she was already bad and we just couldn't see it

Took: A Ghost Story
By Mary Downing Hahn
I think this book is fair because it’s suspenseful. The main character, Daniel, has just moved to West Virginia with his family. Daniel and his little sister, Erica, suspect something suspicious around their house and they feel like someone’s always watching them. Old Auntie, an evil witch that lives nearby, spies on them. She plans to take Erica and use her as a servant for 50 years and then let her go, like she did for other girls. Daniel’s family doesn’t believe in Old Auntie, but everybody in their town says that she’s real. Old Auntie lured Erica into her cabin through a doll that Erica always talks to about Old Auntie, although nobody else can hear it. Daniel and Erica go into the woods, where Old Auntie lives because they were searching for Erica’s doll. Erica runs away because Daniel was being mean to her, and then later gets taken by Old Auntie. Daniel goes to one of Old Auntie’s descendants, who wanted to help him, and learns the only way to get his sister back. Daniel learns that Old Auntie is real when he confronts her, and takes her sister back and runs home. I think that this book could be better, because the end isn’t interesting. In the resolution, Daniel gets his sister back and Old Auntie is destroyed. If Old Auntie was still chasing after Daniel, the story could be more interesting if everybody saw Old Auntie, especially Daniel’s parents. Also, if the story didn’t end the way Daniel wanted it to end, it wouldn’t be as boring. It’s almost like a fairy tale, because it ends happily and it has an unrealistic character in it. I think that this book would have a good cliffhanger which would be able to start another book, but the author ended it in a way that makes readers not think or wonder about the book at all afterwards.
