Phineas L. MacGuire...ERUPTS Frances O'Roark Dowell This is a book about a boy scientist who really likes volcanoes and mold. I liked the book because Phineas is very nice to his friend Ben who didn't really fit in before. Reviewer: Ben S.

Happy Birthday to You Dr. Seuss This is a VERY funny book. It is about a kid having an extra special birthday celebration. My favorite part is when they are riding on an animal called a 'smorgasbord'--he gets to eat all kinds of food while he rides. Reviewer: Ben S.

When it is time to hatch they push through the jelly. They breathe through their gills. Then they grow legs and webbed feet. They grow arms and hands. Then his tail shrinks. And then it is gone it is a frog. Reviewer: Camryn B.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire J.K. Rowling I liked this book because it has a lot of mystery. This year at Hogwarts is the Triwizards Tournament. There is supposed to be one winner from each wizard school but, what happens when Harry's name comes out too? Read Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire to find out. Reviewer: Serena S.

The Wizard of Earthsea Ursula K. Le Giun The Wizard of Earthsea takes place in Ursula K. Le Guin’s own world Earthsea. Earthsea is a place of marvelous wizards and mortals. From little mice to giant dragons. I liked that this story because it brings in magic and fantasy, and has a great adventure for Ged, the main character. I would recommend this book to all people that have vast imagination and love a great adventure. My favorite character is Ged’s loyal pet, the otak. The otak is misbehaving animal but got tamed by a single word, his name. Otak is one of Ged's best companions and friend. Ged changes through out the book. In the beginning Ged hungered for power and knowledge, but in the end he became wiser like his true master. Reviewer: Chelsea Y.

Summerland Michael Chabon Michael Cabon has created a imaginary world with all kinds of connections to Greek, Norse and American folk-tales. Summerland is a magical place where the local Little League comes to play on a perfect day. There are ferishers (miniature Indians) in the same place but in a different dimension and they need this perfect weather to live. But a old villain has come back to rule the Summerlands. The ferishers need a hero -a baseball hero to vanish their foe that is making the Summerlands dark and bleak. I loved this book because there are so many it has an interesting plot and connects with your background knowledge. I do not like this book because of the confusing plot and character’s motives. I would recommend this book to people that enjoy reading new styles. I would also recommend this to people that have read some Norse, Greek and American myths. I would not recommend this book to people who don’t like winding plots. This book quite is confusing to understand, you really need to infer and really think about the detail as you read. My favorite character is Cinquefoil. Cinquefoil is the chief of the little group of ferishers that are still in has tribe. I really liked Cinquefoil because he has very strong will-power. For example when he got hurt with a metal that is poison to the ferishers he was in great pain but still continued to help Ethan with his journey. The main character, Ethan changed through out the story because in the beginning Ethan had no faith in himself what- so-ever began to believe in himself. He also changed because he became more in-touch with his father. In the beginning he never really understood his father and did not express his feelings with him. In the end after they have been through an adventure together Ethan and his father really bond. Summerkand is the perfect adventure for all people that love twists and turns. Reviewer: Chelsea Y.

Long Shadows Erin Hunter Long Shadows is a warriors book about cats in clans. You would not understand it without reading the other 16 books. This book takes place in a forest were four clans of cats share the territory. Sol has taken over Shadow clan after the Great Battle and have led them away from StarClan. Jaypaw/Jayfeather, Hollyleaf, and Lionblaze have to for fill the prophesy about having more power than the stars themselves in there paws. They have to find a way to lead ShadowClan back to StarClan and away from Sol. The littermates take themselves on a adventure of battling themselves, each other and keeping every cat together. I love how every book has a different twist and a question to be answered. The three brothers and sister face lots of exhilarating dangers. I don’t like how the book leads off into one of Jaypaw’s dreams for about three chapters. But it was a important part in the plot. I would only recommend this book to those that have read the other starting books in the series. Otherwise I enjoyed reading this fantastic book. My favorite chacter is Jaypaw. He is a blind medicine cat that connects with StarClan. He might be blind but his other senses are great. The three litter mates change throughout the story. In the beginning they were a little “blind” but in the end they become full warriors/medicine cats and become wiser about knowing the truce. Reviewer: Chelsea Y.
