A Dog Called Homeless

by Sarah Lean

     This is a beautiful book about about how people communicate in good times and in bad.    It is often not what is said in words that tells us the most.  So how do we tell the people that we love how much we care about them;  in words, a touch, a smile or a hug. In this book a family loses a parent.  How will they cope with the loss and move on.   The main character, a young girl named Cally learns to open her heart to love again. A homeless dog will melt your heart as it mends their broken hearts.

Theodore Boone:The Abduction

By:John Grisham

I really liked this book.  It is a mystery book and Theo’s best friend April is kidnapped.  This book would be boring to a lot of people because Theo is really interested in the government and would like to be a lawyer or judge.  The book has a lot of information about the law in it, and I think it would be a good book for 4th or 5th graders interested in politics.

Out Of My Mind

Sharon Draper

Out Of My Mind is a great book for people who love realistic fiction and love learning about different peoples lifes.  On a scale to one to ten, ten being the highest I would give it a nine, because certain parts got long.  Out Of My Mind is based on a girl named Melody who has cerebral palsy.  She ends being able to do something big, which is something very different for a person who can’t walk, talk and can barely move.  Hopefully you will read this book, and really enjoy it and understand it!

Ginger Pye

By Eleanor Estes

Ginger Pye is about a dog that becomes famous for doing a bunch of crazy things.  The dog gets stolen and the owners and lots of people try to figure out who stole the dog.  The book is a mystery/realistic fiction.  It was easy for me but I think a third grader would like it.

Day of the Blizzard

by: Marietta Moskin

Day of the Blizzard was an easy read for me.  It’s based on the Great Blizzard which actually happened.  This takes place in New York and that’s kind of cool.  I’d recommend this to maybe third or fourth graders.  I found the book really boring.  It’s only 79 pages.  On a scale of 1-10- 10 being the best book ever, I’d give this book a four.

Artemis Fowl

By: Eoin Colfer

This book is about a spy prodigy that is about the age of a seventh or eighth grader.  This book is a real page turner, I could not stop reading it. I would recommend this book to somebody who likes action and suspense.  If you like this book, there are five more amazing books that make up the Artemis Fowl series.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

By: J.K. Rowling

I liked this book because it is about a wizard and a family.  The family doesn’t tell him that he is a wizard.  Then notes start flying in from know where and there all for Harry.  Then he finds out that he is a wizard.  I hope you all read this book.
