Doble Fudge / Double Fudge (Spanish Edition)
By Judy Blume
Double Fudge, by Judy Blume, is about tolerance. When Fudge Hatcher was five, he asked his older brother Peter Hatcher how much New York cost. After Peter answered the question, Fudge was obsessed with money. He even planned to buy the entire world, or at least Toys “R” Us. The family had to tolerate that. It was already enough trouble, but then Fudge’s pet Myna bird stopped talking. He tolerated it, but refused to tell the other family members about this, until Peter caught Fudge imitating it. Soon, their long-lost relatives, the Howie Hatchers, came to their building. It was really annoying, and then their other little brother, Mini, swallowed one of Fudges’ lost teeth! I recommend this book for boys and girls, grades third to sixth.
The Call of the Wild
By Jack London
I think this is the first classic book that I actually ENJOYED. I read the "kids" version for a book report in 3rd grade and really enjoyed it. The "full" version is even better. I liked how Jack London showed what BUCK thought at the moment since many other books hide the feelings of a dog. Overall, very fun to read. I'd recommend for Grades 5+

Winter According to Humphrey
By Betty G. Birney
In my opinion, I really liked this book. One reason why is it is a little funny and a little bit of a mystery too. Another reason why is that the story takes lots of stories and combines it into the whole book about this character Humphreys interactions with the students. The last reason why is that the students have lots of things happen to them and they have to solve them and they do things to lead up to solving it. *** SPOILER ALERT *** My favorite part is when one of the students sneaked Humphrey to watch them practice the Christmas play. You might like this book if you like mysteries, science fiction or adventure. You should read this book because it is cool to read what a hamster thinks inside a book.
School Days According to Humphrey
By Betty G. Birney
Schools Days According to Humphrey is about an adorable hamster who lives in Mrs. Brsibane's classroom. In the story he has a problem. He doesn't know that children who are coming into the room. He later finds out that it is the start of a new school year and he has new students to help with their problems. I would recommend this book because it is really funny. Also, Humphrey is a great character to read about because he gets into funny problems that he has to solve. Plus who doesn't like a hamster with a tiny notebook and pencil.
