The Witches
By Roald Dahl
This story is about a boy who lived with his grandmother in Norway. They wanted to get rid of all the horrible witches in England and MOSTLY of the wicked GRAND HIGH WITCH who is the one who rules all the cruel witches. But there was a problem.......... What will happen when they go to the Hotel Magnificent? Who are they going to meet? Will boy and his grandmother get what they want? I enjoyed this book because it gives you a lot of suspense. Roald Dahl shows that he is on the children´s side. My favourite part of the story is when boy puts the mouse maker in the soup.I love the way Roald Dahl invents words and makes his characters REALLY interesting. I recommend this book to children who are 8 or more years old. This book is just right for the ones who like adventures and suspense. Roald Dahl is a fantastic writer because he uses a lot of adjectives, he describes very well and includes suspense in the stories.
The Frog Princess
By E. D Baker
The Frog Princess is one of my favorite books. Princess Emeralda, otherwise known as Princess Emma, is not your typical princess. She is clumsy, and has the laugh of a donkey, and she doesn't like the self-centered Prince Jorge who her mother wants her to marry. Instead she likes to explore the swamp and and learning about magic from her Aunt Grassina. One day when she is in her favorite place-the swamp, she meets a talking frog named Eadric. Eadric claims to be a prince, and he needs Emma to kiss him to turn him back into a prince. Emma consents, but something goes horribly wrong when Emma turns into a frog as well. Now Emma and Eadric must make a journey full of danger and predators in order to find a cure. I absolutely love this book, and the rest of the series. E.D. Baker is a fantastic writer, and her stories are weaved with magic and plot twists! I recommend this book to middle grade kids, around ages 8-12. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.
Flipped
By Wendelin Van Draanen
It may not be the most original idea ever, but the execution of the book makes up for that and more. On a whole, this was a feel-good book, with slight humor. It wasn't exactly a fast-paced thrill-a-minute book, but somehow you could still sit and read it without it being forced. Flipped made it so that you could see things vicariously through Juli(anna) AND Bryce, instead of just being stuck in one P.O.V. A rich journey full of inspiring and satisfying moments, this book will set the bar high for all others.

The Ice Monster
By David Walliams

Jess (American Girl Today)
By Mary Casanova
Jess's parents travel all over the place. It's their thing as archaeologists. But when Jess's parents get the opportunity to travel to Belize in South America, Jess insists on coming along. What will happen to Jess in Belize? I liked this book, because it's got a touch of adventure, and a lot of fun in the mix. Definitely recommended.
My Sweet Orange Tree
By José Mauro de Vasconcelos
The book takes place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in the year 1920. Zézé is 5 years old and he wants to be a bow tie-wearing poet. But for now, he plays pranks on other people living in his neighborhood. Zézé puts wax on sidewalks so that people slip and fall. He's so naughty that people say he's the devil's grandson. He lives in a big family with three sisters and two brothers. They are so poor that nobody gets Christmas presents. In the book, Zézé meets many people, including Pinkie the orange tree and Seu Ariovaldo, a musician. But one day he makes a real friend, Portuga. At first, they're enemies, but as they get to know each other, he becomes a father to Zézé. The book was funny and sad, and I enjoyed reading it. The translation was also great!

Cammie Morgan is not your average girl. She goes to a school for spies. But when she meets a regular boy, who thinks she's a normal girl, she's left with one big blank. This book is wonderful, and I'm glad I read it. Full of action, and well-written, this book can be for anyone.

I LOVED LOVED LOVED this book and this was the reason I kept reading the series. I was SUPER sad when I couldn't find the last book! :'( So basically there is this regular teenage girl-wait, what did you say? Oh sorry *cough cough* regular teenage SPY girl. Cammie Morgan's mother is the headmistress of Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women. (A spy school in other words) The girls there know a TON of different languages, take tai kwon do in P.E, and a lot of other cool stuff. But there is one thing that the school HASN'T trained Cammie for-dealing with a regualar teen boy crush.
