Falcons Feathers, reviewed by Donovan Y.

I think Falcons Feathers is mysterious because in the falcons nest there were only feathers. The main character likes to help animals. The main characters name is Josh. The mystery that needs to be solved is about falcons that disappeared. Josh found one of the falcons in bushes. I recommend this book to people who like mysterious things.

This book was amazing because Josefina saves lives and she is a 9 year old!  The story Happy Birthday, Josefina! takes place in the 1824. Josefina has a problem. Sombrita was about to die from a rattle snake bite.   Josefina picked up Sombrita and Mariana threw a rock at the snake, but she missed. The snake put its fangs on her, and bites her.

I Love Gymnastics, reviewed by Laurel A.

This book is about girls in gymnastics who do forward rolls and other kinds of activities.  There is not a main character but in the first paragraph it tells about Jessica and then it talks about other girls who do things in gymnastics.  Jessica does really not have a challenge, but you should always be careful in gymnastics never to force yourself.  If you like gymnastics you will like this book.

Swimming with Sharks Reviewed by Allissa D.

This book is really awesome because there are a lot of fun adventures. One example is when Rita’s friend Jazz gave Rita a nose plug because when she tried to do flip turns water went up her nose .In a competition, Rita forgot the nose plug  and did it without it. This book is about swimming and being true to yourself. The main character is Rita. I would describe her as a very hopeful girl. One challenge the main character faces is that her times are not fast enough to swim for the shark’s team. She’s a dolphin, In order to be a shark she also has to learn flip turns, but that is not easy for her. This book is for people that like swimming.  It is a really hopeful story about trying hard to achieve your goal, even when it gets rough.

Casey At The Bat reviewed by Jackson P.

If I gave a descriptive adjective for the picture poem Casey at the Bat, it would be interesting.  Casey is a good baseball player.  He is cool, and he is well known because the crowd kept  cheering when he stepped on the plate at the field.  At first, Casey couldn’t  hit the baseball , then he hit it , and he got out.   I would recommend  this book to my cousin Hayden because he plays and loves baseball.

Meet Addy is a sad story with a happy ending.  Meet Addy takes place in the past in 1864 during the Civil war.  The people in Addy’s  family are slaves, and they got split up.  They don’t have freedom.  If you want to learn more about Addy and her path to freedom you should read the American Girls series about Addy.

INTO THE LAND OF THE UNICORNS, reviewed by Jonah.P

My book Into the Land of the Unicorns was fantastically exciting.  Cara, the main character, is very brave through her journey. She even jumped off the church roof to get to the Luster.  Two perfect examples of make believe in this book are that there are dragons and unicorns. There is a lot of make believe  in this story.  If you like reading really exciting fantasy books, then you will like this one.

The Great Railroad Race, reviewed by Anne G.

My book was very extraordinary.  My book takes place in 1868 during the Great Race to build the transcontinental railroad.  One problem the main character, whose name is Libby West, needs to overcome is judging people by the way they look before she gets to know them.  I recommend this book for people who like to read the diaries in the Dear America series.

Socks, reviewed by Alison S.

This book is descriptive.  It tells a lot of details about the cat, Socks.  The main character, Socks, is interesting because he plays with a new born baby in the family.  One of Socks main problems is that his human mom and dad are paying more attention to the baby and not to Socks.  If you like cats and families, then this is a good book for you.
