"You should never, never doubt something no one is sure of." When Willy Wonka, world's most acclaimed chocolatier, shut down his famous chocolate factory - he seemed to vanish off the face of the earth! That is, until one miraculous day, when Willy Wonka himself wrapped five Golden Tickets, "keys" to Willy Wonka's exclusive tour to his chocolate factory, within his signature scrumptious chocolate bars.. and Charlie, a starving boy with a diet consisting of only cabbage soup and no luck whatsoever, is eager to get his hands on one of them. Unfortunately, the honor of finding them is presented to four perfectly horrid children, and Charlie seems out of luck - until he spots a speck of gold behind his creamy chocolate bar. He's done it! But little does Charlie know that this is just the beginning of his grand adventures, for Willy Wonka himself teases a very special prize for only one of the five children - and all of the children desperately want to be the winner. Will it be one of the four horrid, spoiled, gum-obsessed children? Or will it be Charlie himself? To find out, join Willy Wonka and the five children on a wondrous adventure involving edible grass, magical gum, nut-killing squirrels, terrifying incinerators, blinding shrink rays, and most importantly, chocolate! This book is undoubtedly magical - Roald Dahl is a splendid writer, one that knows how to write characters well - you can end up physically cheering when villains meet their end. Even though the villains' ends were particularly delectable, overall, this book was quirky and cheerful, with fantastic descriptions of the factory and an appeal for all ages of chocolate fanatics. Who wouldn't end up rooting for the wonderfully insane Willy Wonka - this book left me craving more, and I immediately went off to hunt for the sequel, which was even more deliciously wonderful than the last. Roald Dahl has left us another classic that will both children and adults smile from beginning to end!

The book is very interesting and it is sort of a comic book. I recomend this book for childen

This book was a lot of reading but it was worth it because you could learn a lot from it. In this book Henry is a kid that wants a pet but does not have enough money, when he was getting on the bus back from the YMCA he saw a very skinny dog sitting next to him he loved so much he wanted to bring it home. After that he called his parents and told them they said he could keep it. So he went in to a shop and asked for the biggest box they had. So they gave it to him. Then he put the in the box. Then he said "I am going to call you Ribsy because you are so skinny." He had to wait three busses to get home. And his family loved it. The end

Stuart Little, by E. B. White, tells that even if you are shy and small, you can still have a wonderful adventure. Stuart little is a shy mouse born in New York City and his best friend ,a beautiful bird named Margalo, has mysteriously disappeared in the summer when Stuart was seven. Earlier, Margalo had flied into the house Stuart Little was living in, when Stuart had bronchitis. Since then, he had made best friends with Margalo. He decided to head north to look for Margalo. However, this book says nothing about wether or not Stuart actually found Margalo. I like this book a lot, and I recommend this classic for boys and girls, third to sixth grade.

Melinda is hated, by just about everyone. She called the police on a party during the summer, and she won't tell anyone why, this makes everyone absolutely despise her, and she starts her freshman year off with no friends. What Melinda won't say about the party is what's killing her inside. She feels depressed and doesn't want to go on... with anything. As Melinda struggles with the past and the pain Andy Evans caused her, she soon realizes that to give up would be letting him win. This book inspired me to never give up, no matter how hard it is. Melinda could of given up any time but still, she continued with life and fought through the pain. She is a brave, inspiring person that almost anyone can look up to! This is a must read and you should read it as soon as you can, you won't regret it!!

Grenade tells the story of the invasion of Okinawa by the Americans towards the end of World War Two. The book is mainly about Hideki, a native of Okinawa, burdened by the knowledge of his ancestor, who chose to surrender rather than fight against the Japanese invaders. As a member of the Blood and Iron Student Corps, he is given only two grenades and is expected to kill as many Americans as possible, then blow himself up. But the students' attempt at attacking the Americans does not go well, and Hideki is forced to flee. Then there's Ray, a fresh recruit just out of high school, who has landed in Okinawa. As he clears out Japanese encampments with his platoon, he is faced with the harsh realities of war. Chapters switch between Ray and Hideki: first with Hideki running through Okinawa, trying to find his sister, last seen at a field hospital on the other side of the island; then Ray, who is growing accustomed to army life. I loved the thought-provoking ness, especially how it brought in traditional Okinawan beliefs. Additionally, it lacked a boring moment and kept me hooked till the end. I admired how it depicted the war correctly, with cruelty on both the Japanese and American sides. One of the best books I've read, I would recommend it for people who like fast-paced books about war
