The Giver (illustrated; gift edition) (Giver Quartet)
By Lois Lowry
this book was absolutley and truly and fantastically just amazing. it really captures the light of Jonas' life as a kid in the future and the Giver-to-be. it honestly saddens me that he and his friends never got to experience color or feelings or even their own memory.:0
Regarding the Fountain: A Tale, in Letters, of Liars and Leaks
By Kate Klise
BVP
Regarding the Fountain, by Kate Klise, is a funny book. He problem is when the water fountain does not work then they need a new drinking fountain, but they don't have any water left. Then they need to get a water fountain but they need to find out where all of the water went. The characters are different from other books because this book has many funny characters, and usually books only have one or two. For example, one of the characters goes all over the world for stuff for the fountain and gets a lot of crazy things like one flower all the way from Africa. The characters have funny names like Dee Eel, Sam N. and Wally Russ. Another reason the book is so different and unique is because it is written in letters instead of narration and dialogue. Most of the kids liked it in my books club. If you like funny books, you will like this book.
Summer of My German Soldier
By Bette Greene
read this novel for school. a classic ww2 book, but a little unreasonable. a grown man falling in love with a twelve year old girl? not going to happen.

Belle Prater's Boy
By Ruth White
So i read this book as sort of as an assignment and it was ok i guess. It could have been more exciting and i don't really like "classical literature." Overall, not bad, but i wouldn't read it for pleasure.
Dance Divas: Showtime!
By Sheryl Berk
I am loving this book, it is about competitive dancers Scarlett, Gracie, Liberty, Rochelle and Bria and they are trying to find out how to get their teacher Miss. Toni and their rivals teacher to be friends again. When the teachers were dancing they got in this HUGE fight and now they never want to talk to each other ever again. I would recommend this book to dancers because if you are not a dancer you might not under stand lots of it.
Earthquakes: Jump into Science
By Ellen Prager
It didn't have a lot of information it just had facts about earthquakes it was good but not a lot of information .
Somewhere There Is Still a Sun: A Memoir of the Holocaust
By Michael Gruenbaum
Claire
Very good book. Lots of details but a little bit mature. Recommend for grades mature 5-8. I read in 5th.
Each Little Bird That Sings (Golden Kite Honors)
By Deborah Wiles
"Each Little Bird That Sings" is a touching, bittersweet book that quickly worked its way onto my "Favorite Books" list. It's a fantastically-written tale of the friendship, companionship, death, and sadness that are a big part of some of our lives. This book has just the right amount of sorrow and humor. I loved it so much - I would strongly recommend it!
Mary Ingalls on Her Own (Little House Sequel)
By Elizabeth Cody Kimmel
2 years prior to this story Mary has scarlet fever, she became blind. *Now* Mary is leaving her home and family to go to a school for the blind. There she meets two other girls (her roommates) who are also blind and they really make Mary feel at home. She misses her family so much especially her sister Laura but she knows that is she doesn't want to be a burden to her family she needles to learn to take care of herself. I think this was a good edition to the Little House series. Recommended for 10+ Thanks for reading -Ajg16's reviews
