Game Changer

Game Changer

By Margaret Peterson Haddix

This book is pretty good, but the book is kind of confusing. The book is kind of sad because it talks about the kids getting hurt and almost not waking up. The kids get hurt in real life and find themselves in a world they do not know. They fight their way back to the real world and find themselves each on a hospital bed.

Randall's Wall

Randall's Wall

By Carol Fenner

"This was our first "all class" book in 4th grade. I chose this one for us to read because it contained the pattern of the monomyth and because it was a story of a boy whose struggles at home made it difficult for him to easily fit in socially at school. I really liked the way Randall's mysterious nature required us to uncover the value of his character and celebrate his success in the end. Jean was an unforgettable character who had the independence to stick by Randall as a friend even when it wasn't the popular choice and she truly made a difference. "

Marcia's Madness (The Sisters Eight)

Marcia's Madness (The Sisters Eight)

By Lauren Baratz-Logsted, Greg Logsted, Jackie Logsted

I like that in every book one of the sisters finds out her power and she gets her gift. And all I will say about Marcia's power is... it took a while for the other sisters to find out her power. (I hope you can find out Marcia's power faster than her sisters did!)This book was a little confusing at first, but now I read it again and it made a lot more sense.

Bird

Bird

By Angela Johnson

The title of this story is quite simple “Bird”, which is also the main character’s nickname. Bird is a thirteen-year old runaway child. The reason she ran away is because of her step dad, Cecil, who left Bird and her mom without saying good-bye. Bird surely believes if she goes after him, he will certainly return to them. During the runaway days, bird made some friends. Cecil has a nephew named Ethan, who’s always been sick and lonely. He has just received a heart transplant and is healthier than he’s ever been. Bird becomes his first friend. She also met a boy named Jay, who’s getting over the death of his brother. Three of them are surviving something difficult to bear. I think the writing style of this book is really special. Each chapter is from a different character's perspective (Bird, Ethan or Jay), but by the end of the book, each of the characters are tied together. “Bird" is a beautiful written story and was easy to read. Even though I spent a bit time getting into the characters, I still enjoyed reading it.
