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.

Superfudge, reviewed by Daghn F.

Superfudge  is a very silly and good book.  The main character is Peter.  He lives in N.Y.C.  He has a brother named Fudge and a baby sister.  Peter needs to learn how to get along with his little brother Fudge.  Peter thinks his brother is annoying.  For example, Fudge hid their little sister in the closet while they were playing hide and seek. Everyone was really worried, but Fudge never admitted that she was in the closet. They found her later in the closet, asleep. If you like funny books or if you have a brother or sister you will love this book.

Sophie the Sweetheart, reviewed by Madianna R.

Sophie the Sweetheart is a fantastic book because it involves some secrets. Sophie is a great girl but she does have a little temper. Sophie has to do a project with a partner, and her partner is her worst enemy. When Sophie wants to match- make her teacher there’s also some problems with that too .I recommend  this book to someone who likes secret letters.

In this book, Mallory goes to a new school, and she thinks it will be very embarrassing with her mom as the new music teacher.  Mallory is just a girl that had a perfect life until she moves to Fern Falls Elementary.  One problem Mallory tries to overcome is the music performance called the Fall Festival and her being an eggplant.  If you're into stories that involve festivals or plays, then this is the book for you.

If you like reading books about kids who meet family members that they have never met before you should read this book.

Everest: The Contest, reviewed by Rohan S.

Have you ever wanted to climb Mt. Everest? Dominic Alexis made the word Everest by finding the letters under the caps of Summit Athletic Fuel and the inside wrappers of Summit Energy Bars. This gave him a chance to climb Mt. Everest. Dominic Alexis is a thirteen year old who is very good at rock climbing. He has many problems. One of them is that he has to stay fit to climb Mt. Everest. He needs to work out 6 hours a week to stay fit, but he is only 13 and he has a tiny chance of making the team. Another problem is that there are 20 climbers all fighting for four spots. I would recommend this book to someone who would like to climb Mt. Everest. If you read the other two books in the series you will get to know if he makes the Everest team.

Dive: The Discovery, reviewed by William S.

Dive: The Discovery is an interesting book about teenagers that come to the Caribbean to dive. Star is handicapped but she is still a good swimmer. Star needs to overcome the fact that Cutter and his crew are not letting them dive a lot. I recommend Dive: The Discovery to someone that likes a book about diving.

Lacrosse Face Off is a descriptive book. The main character is sporty because he plays fun sports that people like. He never gives up on them.

Island is an exciting book. The main characters are Luke, Will, Ian, J.J., Lyssa, and Charla. They are children who were sent on a trip on a boat that sinks. They need to overcome the fact that they are shipwrecked on a deserted island. I recommend this book to people who like survival stories.

Clementine Friend of the week, reviewed by Zaniyah M.

Clementine Friend of the week is a silly book. The main character is Clementine. Clementine is a funny because she calls her brother vegetable names because her name is a fruit. Clementine's problem is that she has to feel that people like her the way she is. I recommend Clementine Friend of the week to people who like silly books.

The Talented Clementine, reviewed by Keliese D.

The Talented Clementine is a mysterious book because you always want to know what's going to happen next. Clementine is a one of a kind person. Things like going to the principal's office for no reason and putting your brother on a leash is what makes Clementine one of a kind.
Clementine needs to know that somewhere deep inside there's a talent. My recommendation for
The Talented Clementine is that if you like books when silly is what it's all about, you'll like this book.

Junie B. Jones and that Meanie Jim's Birthday, reviewed by: Madeline C.

Junie B. Jones and That Meanie Jim's Birthday, is a very surprising book because every time you make an inference you are probably wrong. The main character Junie B. is very sensitive because she overreacts when she is not invited to a birthday party. Junie B. needs to overcome her sad feelings because she wasn't invited. I recommend this book to people who can relate to Junie B. and have not been invited to a birthday party that other people been.

Little House in the Big Woods, reviewed by Anne G.

My book was very interesting. It it is full of details about life long ago. The main character in my book loves to listen to her father's stories, and she can be very naughty sometimes. The main character has a sister who has golden hair, but lots of people think blond hair is prettier than brown. So she has to overcome being jealous. Even if most people like blond hair better than brown, some people think brown hair is prettier than blond. I think if people like to read about people who lived a long time ago, then they should read this book.
