Children of Refuge (Children of Exile)

This is a really good book that follows the first book well. The only thing I wish is that there would be another book in this series. This is a great book.

Dead City

Dead City

By James Ponti

I really enjoyed reading this book. I loved how the mood and tone were very nice and smooth, the opposite of intense - whatever that is. Anyways, I found this book a really interesting novel to read, and can't wait to read the next one! I enjoyed all the characters and misadventures and misunderstandings. I really do recommend this book because I found it really exciting and great! I would like to thank James Ponti and everybody else who contributed to this book. My day would not have been made without it. Last but not least, I just want to say that, while I have read tons and tons of books, not many were as enjoyable and fun to read as Dead City.

Olive's Ocean (Newbery Honor Book)

Olive's Ocean (Newbery Honor Book)

By Kevin Henkes

I made a connection of how Martha Boyle is twelve years old and I'm about to turn twelve. A summary of this book a stranger knocks on twelve-year-old Martha Boyle's door and hands her a piece of paper. She identifies herself as Olive Barstow's mother, then she thanks Martha and leaves. Martha is startled because Olive was a girl in her grade last year who had recently died after being hit by a car. I give this book a three star star rating because the characters are a great part of this book, but at some points it would get sad.

Jake is the boy's name, and he is finally going on his first overnight solo in the park. On this overnight peculiar things happen. Jake mostly remembers the mother dragon and the baby dragon. The baby dragon ends up with Jake. As the evening goes on the night of the solo Jake is found by Billy, a ranger.

I rated this book four stars because well it was good it got boring when he talked about the history of the national park.
