I really liked this book because it is about residents of Orange Street coming together to save the tree that gave their street it's name. There's only one problem. They don't yet know who wants to chop it down.

Have you ever not had a dad for awhile? Well Nate didn’t for a long time in his life. In the book The Cloud Chamber by Joyce Maynard, . Nate and his a younger sister didn’t have a dad for a long period time. The story takes place in modern time on a farm and in a hospital. The turning point is when Nate and his sister came home on the bus that day the couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw their dad being dragged away by the police with blood pouring down his face, and was raised into the ambulance on a stretcher, and was drove away. One conflict is that now Nate and his sister have no clue what is going on and all they know that their dad is gone. Another is that now the mother is worried because now the dad isn’t there to help out on the farm. The protagonist is Nate and the antagonist is his dad. Will Nate ever get his dad back or will he never see him again? I recommend this book for people who are interested and enjoy a sadder story, I also recommend it to middle school kids and above.

It's a good book that is a battle of the books book

My favorite part of the book is when the British come to their boat. They were coming to board their ship. They were coming in longboats. Flying an American flag.

This is my favourite book! The story takes you from a world of Laurie into Jimmy the Giant Slayer's dimension. Laurie is a girl whose one and only friend has polio. As she visits Dickie-her friend- she begins to tell the story of Colloso. I love the way that her story changes the world around her. The patients at Bishop's hospital in the polio ward step away from their original lives and take the character that is them. Laurie's story gets so intense, that her life depends on it. This is definitely a must read book for everyone.

I chose this book for the class because we have been learning about Washington State's history and the effects of change on people and cultures. May Amelia's family are immigrants from Finland and they have brought their cultural perspective to their new life in the Northwest. They must make adjustments to live successfully in this new territory among the indigenous Chinook and the immigrant Chinese to name a few. May Amelia, herself, wrestles with the traditions of her culture and her desire to take risks and live the adventurous life of her brothers. I loved the characters in this book and the unique writing writing style of Jennifer Holm.

This book is the bomb! I think that everyone with a family member or wants to go into the military should read this book. Frances O'Roark Dowell is a great author. I want to read other books by him.

This is an awesome book and it is about an awesome time.It is about how Lincoln got assassinated and his last days. It has lots of cool photos including one of the pillow on which he died on! That picture was a little bit gruesome. You get to go behind the plot of James Booth and see how he did it. It made me understand Abraham Lincoln's death a lot more.

The Silent Boy tells the story of Jacob from Katherine’s point of view. The background of the story threw way back to 1908 to 1911 before World War 1. Jacob was a “touched” boy, which means he had problems on mental health and couldn’t talk. Katherine, extremely different from Jacob, was a doctor’s daughter who was only in second grade. I personally think this book is deep in its meaning but not within the use of words. Living in a distinct way, Jacob barely spoke and was trying to hide himself. Throughout the words, I could feel the growth of the friendship between Jacob and Katherine. Even though he never talked or looked at her, she understood Jacob through observing and feeling. I like this book, but I personally think the author wrote the story too exquisitely if Katherine was the speaker.

This sounds like a nice book but it does not look like other people like it. It look cute and funny like a bunny. And that is my rhyme.
