John Muir, reviewed by Chris R.
John Muir got famous by making laws to protect the Sierra Mountains. John Muir and other people he met made a club called the Sierra Club. John Muir was the one that saved trees. You should learn about this person if you love nature because he had a house in the forest. How would you feel if you were John Muir?
Mary-Kate and Ashley and the Summer Camp Caper, reviewed by Adeline C.
Mary-Kate and Ashley and the Summer Camp Caper is a very descriptive book. That is because it tells you when, why, how, and where things happen. Mary-Kate and Ashley are very serious about things. The mystery that needs to be solved is who keeps stealing care packges and the campers things. My recommendation is it's easy to read and understand and it tells lots of good details.
Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew,reviewed by Anna G.
Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew was a very suspenseful book. It took you from clue to clue. Nancy Drew is good at figuring out things. She pays attention. The mystery is that Deirdre's City Girls doll, Hollywood Heather, goes missing at her sleepover. I recommend this book because I like solving mysteries with clues.

In the book The Ghost of Fossil Glen, a girl named Allie Nichols is climbing a cliff when she climbs realy high. All a sudden she hears a voice. The voice says "Go ahead, let go . You can do it." It also said "It will be all right. Now. Before you're so tired you simply fall! So Allie let go , fell, and was all right. "Wow."thought Allie. She looked around, no one was there. Who was it? Allie didn't understand, but she ran home. Her mom and dad were at work and her little brother Michael was at the babysitter. "Great"thought Allie. She got her mail and went inside. When she was inside she called her best friend Dub and told him the whole story. Then she called another friend Karen and told her that it was actualy kind of fun. "You call that fun?" Allie thought it was. When Allie got off the phone with Karen she saw there was a mysterious gift in the mail. "What could this be? "Allie thought. She opened it. It was a book. Not a book for reading, a journal. "Yes." thought Allie "Ican use it for my journal for school. But who is it from?" In this book Allie is also having some trouble in school. Her friends Karen and Pam aren't being nice. Allie found out that they weren't being nice because they thought Allie was a liar. "Thats not true." said Allie's mom " You just have a creative imagination." Allie agreed.

Dork Diaries Tales From a Not so Talented Pop Star, reviewed by Isabella F.
My book is very hilarious in many ways. Nikki J. Maxwell is a funny middle schooler and has a
locker right next to the mean Makenzie Hollster. Nikki J. Maxwell needs to become a talented
pop star to overcome her fear of Makenzie Hollster. If you like comedy you should read this book.

My book is a funny and exciting story. The main character's name is Junie B. Jones, and she is in kindergarten. She has two best friends; Lucille and Grace. Junie B. Jones wants to be the flower girl for her Aunt Flo's wedding, but a girl named Bo is the flower girl instead. I think anyone who has a good sense of humor might like this book.
Meet Kit, reviewed Rhiannon Z.
Meet Kit is an interesting book about a girl living during the Great Depression. This story takes place in 1934. The Great Depression was a time when many people didn't have job. Her dad loses his job, and her mom takes boarders to live in their house to make money. I would recommend this book because it will teach you good lesson, and let you know about the Great Depression.
Andrew Lost In The Desert, reviewed by Jonah P.
I have to give my book a thumbs up because Andrew, Judy, and Thudd have to find their way back to Uncle Al. It's an exciting journey. Andrew, Judy, and Thudd are the main characters. Well, that's what I say because they are most mentioned in this book. One thing that is make believe in this story is that normal sized people cannot turn in to small people. There is a bunch more make believe things in this story. If you like fun adventures, you will like this book because it has cool animals and extreme action.
Voyage on the Great Titanic, reviewed by Anne G.
My book was very sad and happy. My story takes place in 1912. The Titanic was on its first trip, and it hit a huge ice burg. One problem that the main character needs to overcome is that she had to be brave even when times were scary. I think that if you like to read the Dear America books I recommend that you read this book. Dear America books are like people' s diaries.
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules, reviewed by Justin M.
This book is a great book because of the exciting stuff that happens. An example is when Rodrick had an awesome party. The main charcter is Greg. Greg is 13 to 14 years old. He is in Jr. high school. The problem that Greg needs to overcome is that Greg needs to stop letting Rodrick be in charge of Greg. You should read this book because it'll make you laugh.
UFOs and Aliens reviewedby Chase Z.
In this book men in black appeared in Albert Bender's room. They might have been aliens. This book is about aliens and UfO's. It tells about reports people have to make. The mystery to be solved is are aliens real. I predict that people who like to read about UfO's and aliens will like this book.
Scooby-Doo And the Ghostly Gorilla, reviewed by Jackson P.
This story is about a hairy gorilla that haunts the forest. That's why it's cool. Scooby, Shaggy,Velma, Daphne, and Freddy all just try to solved the mystery. There is a person that's dressed like a gorilla trying to haunt the forest. My friend Chase would like this story because he likes ghosts and gorillas so he'd love a ghostly gorilla.
