Anne of Avonlea (Second Book in the Anne of Green Gables Series.)
By L M Montgomery
This book... This book is such a beloved classic for such good reason. It was so full of imagery and brilliant plot that I was sad to reach the end. One thing I will say though, is that Avonlea seems just a little too perfect. Aside from the one disaster and some minor scrapes, everything happens so that life flows idylly. Other than that, the book was written splendidly with lots of care. Even though this book is suitable for readers of all ages, there are many profound quotes and little gems that may not be picked up by a younger crowd. It just refreshes and makes me happy every time I read an "Anne of" book because they're so wholesome and gracefully written. The author, L.M. Montgomery is a literary genius. I can't wait to follow Anne along on her journey.
Shiloh (The Shiloh Quartet)
By Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
Wierd101
I give this books five stars. I really love this books because it is about a kid nameed Marty and he is trying to protect a dog named Shiloh from his neighbor named Judd Travers and is trying to make Shiloh his. There are also some sad parts to like when the giant German Shepard was attacking Shiloh and they didn't know if Shiloh was going to live or not and there are happy parts to like when they heard thet Shiloh was alive so this book is very very awesome and really really heart warming so you should read it.
The Westing Game
By Ellen Raskin
This book was really good because it was a mystery and they needed to find out who commited the crime. They get clues and a 12 year old thinks she has solved it. There are many confusing things and people prentend to be other people that they really aren't. It sounds weird but it is a really good book. Please read it

By Laura Ellen Anderson
I like the bit where they eat the plums

Bridge to Terabithia
By Katherine Paterson
"A amazing book, heartwarming, sad and wonderful in so many ways." Is my words to discribe this beautifully written book. Tradgedy. That is the main theme here, however it's mostly in the end. Jesse Aarons made a new friend, Leslie Burke. They raced together, talked, fought against a common bully, and built the secret, and magical world, Terabithia together. But now, after disturbing news, it's all for nothing. When Ms. Edmunds took Jesse out, he found out that Leslie died. He couldn't believe it at first, but she had hit her head on a rope, and then drowned. Leslie. Gone. Forever. Jesse is so upset, he still can't believe it. But near the end, with help from everyone, he overcomes his grief and sadness. And even though she's gone, she will still be in his heart, giving him advice. She might not be there physicly, but she's there mentally. A wonderful book, and it is very sad, however very well written, Katherine Patterson. I loved this book, 5/5.
Island of the Blue Dolphins
By Scott O'Dell
I loved this book. Karana is such a strong young woman. She has that girly flare with the strength of a man. Could you imagine losing your family because your brother disobeyed? Then for him to turn and be killed by your future best friend? And you turn in rage and destroy your town that the men of your village built with their bare hands? You then suffer through the death of your best friend and capture his son? And, let's think here... could anyone here survive a tidal wave clinging to a slick rock wall? Even though we have the heart of lions and the pride of a dancing peafowl, I don't think any of us could have done it. But Karana did it. As she grew older and mature she became stronger, braver, and wiser. Her caution and creative abilities kept her alive on an island for 18 years. This is a story that will impact your life and make you want to really become like Karana. She is such a role model for all ages. What an amazing novel.
The Borrowers (Puffin Modern Classics)
By Mary Norton
In old houses, under the floor, live tiny people called Borrowers. The borrowers don't bother to make stuff like beds or spools of wool or safety pins. Instead, the Borrowers create their furniture using "borrowed" items from "human beans." There aren't many Borrowers left. One Borrower family, composed of three, lived in an old house in England. The father was called Pod, the mother Homily, and the child Arrietty. Arrietty isn't like other borrowers. She doesn't want to spend her entire life cooped up in a house, seeing the sky only through tiny glimpses through the grating. Arriety wants to live outside, under the blue sky. But girls are usually not allowed to go on borrowing trips through the house. After many days of asking, Pod finally gives in and allows Arietty to come. On the trip, Arrietty is seen by a human boy. He agrees to keep their secret, but what will happen when more people find out?
