Island of The Blue Dolphins

I thought that Island of The Island of Blue Dolphins was a very good book. If you read hatchet and liked it you will probably like Island of The Blue Dolphins. It is about a Native American  girl that lives on an island. One day people come and take her people away but the ship leaves her behind. It is a story of survival and a Native American girl. Along the way she has to fight wild dogs, make a shelter, and find food and water. The book is by Scott O’Dell.

 Book review by Alicia

The Wind on the Moon is a wonderful, enchanting book about two sisters that turn into kangaroos (using a magic potion) and get taken to a zoo. They escape, turn into humans again, and release the golden puma and the silver falcon into the wild again. Their father

went to war, and got thrown in prison, so along with Mr. Corvo, their dance teacher, the puma and the falcon, they set off to save their father, facing danger, kidnapping, and more.

My Side Of The Mountain    

An enchanting adventure by Jean Craighead George. When Sam Gribley hears his grandfather once lived in the mountain before going to sea, he runs away to catskill mountains, and finds himself a perfect house. A tree. Really. he hollows it out with fire, and makes himself at home. He soon finds himself a friend in a neighboring weasel. Later known as the baron weasel. Being a well known run away, hunting, and caring for yourself is NOT easy. And Sam is no exception.

Holes

By: Louis Sachar

I really thought that this book would not be good, based on the title, that seems pretty boring. But I started, and I had to finish. Louis Sachar wrote a story full of surprises about a boy who has a curse, passed on from his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather: he is very unlucky.

He was accused of stealing shoes from a famous baseball player, and sent to a camp in the dryest part of Texas, where every boy is assigned to dig a hole 5ft long, 5ft wide, and 5ft deep. And it gets over 100 degrees there year round. I would definitely read it again.
