Baby
Baby, Patricia MacLachlan, Bantam Doubleday,132 p
1. What is the book about? (Remember don’t give away the ending)
This book is about a family who ends up taking care of a baby left by her mother. They need to learn how to get along after the death of their own baby boy. The family tries as hard as they can.
2. What is your favorite part?
My favorite part is when the family learns how to get along and joy spreads out through the whole family. It makes the story very special... It’s sort of like a quest they need to solve.
3. What part of the book would you change?
The part of the book I would change is the beginning. It doesn’t seem very interesting especially the introduction to the family. I think it needs more excitement.
4. Will you recommend this book to a friend?
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. It seemed very difficult through the hard times they had to pass. I think a lot of people should read it.
5. How many stars would you give this book?
I would give this book 5 stars even if there are some parts that are dull or boring, this book is really fantastic. If you think about it, it’s like you’re in the book.

Warriors: Into the Wild Book 1
Warriors:Into the Wild(Book One), Erin Hunter, Avon, 321 pgs.
1. What is the book about? (Remember don’t give away the ending)
This descriptive book is about a young housecat named Rusty who dreams of living in the wild, catching mice roaming on the forest ground. Then one day he leaps of his fence and stops in front of a cat from the wild! His name is Graystripe, and they become great friends. But then three cats from the clan(pack of cats) come at him alarmed. They saw him chasing the mouse the other day and offer him to join them, because of his fascinating techniques. Does he join?
2. What is your favorite part?
I like the beginning, because it started out with him in a dream, with his collar off and stalking a mouse in the shadows. But right when his claws unsheath, he wakes up in his cat bed.
3. What part of the book would you change?
I would change the dream just a bit, because of the fact Rusty knew wild cats were living out there, he could be catching quite enough prey until he led himself up to the cats, and then, they offered him the life in their clan, so it could actually happen.
4. Will you recommend this book to a friend?
I would recommend this to a friend, because most of my friends love animals and adventures. I bet they would find it a great book. (I recommend the book also to age 10 and up.)
5. How many stars would you give this book?
Five Stars, full total!

Frindle
Frindle, Andrew Clements, New York: Aladdin Paperbacks, 105 pg
1. What is the book about? (Remember don’t give away the ending)
This book is about a 5th grade boy named Nick Allen, who starts to replace the word pen, with the word Frindle. This was not meant to happen, it happened because of a report one of his teacher assigned of how words are added to a dictionary. But instead, he created the word frindle. When his teacher found out that he thought this was the way words were added, she thought it was incorrect and kept any student after school who used the word frindle. But this word goes all around the country! the newspaper, t.v, and in much more entertainment.But the teacher somehow figures that this was the real way words were added.
2. What is your favorite part?
My favorite part was when Nick made a skit in front of Ms. Granger. I thought it was funny because it was so stupid to make a skit because you’d probably get in trouble. But even though Nick got in trouble, I thought it was a creative and fun idea.
3. What part of the book would you change?
If I were the author, I would make the book a little longer because I thought it was too short. I would add some things that happened next after the big frindle word, or keep adding new words and add what happened because of that word.
4. Will you recommend this book to a friend?
Yes. But I think not a friend who’s in 5th or 4th grade.
But I think it would be great for a new english learner.
5. How many stars would you give this book?
I would give 9 stars out of 10 because I thought it could use some more details.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling Arthur A. Levine Books, 1999 341 pages
1. What is the book about? (Remember don’t give away the ending) This book is the sequel to the beautiful Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. Rowling. It’s Harry’s second year at Hogwarts and he meets a house elf called Dobby. During the summer his friends Ron and Hermione didn’t write him at all. He soon finds out why they hadn’t been writiting with his friend Dobby. When Harry gets to school something strange is going on and its not a cold. Harry is hearing voices and discovers he can speak a second language without having to learn it. Harry meets a famous fraud of a wizard. Professor Lockhart. That is all I can tell you without giving away the ending.
2. What is your favorite part?
My favorite part of the book is when Harry goes down into the chamber. This part is my favorite because it has so much adventure in it. It is really funny because Lockhart tries to do a memory charm on Ron and Harry. It backfires and he gets hit with his own memory charm, so he forgets everything and is really confused. It’s my favorite part because it is so funny and has so much adventure.
3. What part of the book would you change?
I would probably change the really long speech Tom Riddle (a.k.a. Lord Voldemort) gave. I would change it because it was really boring. He just told us about his life and rearranged his name. His full name is Tom Marvolo Riddle.
4. Will you recommend this book to a friend?
I would probably recommend this book to a friend that likes things like Harry Potter, which is not most of my friends, but for the people who like scary things and a control freak wizard then yeah. He also has a friend that’s genius at wizardry, but is mostly muggle (non-magic type like you and me) and a pure blood friend with four brothers and one sister.
5. How many stars would you give this book?
I would give this book five stars because it is such a great book with all the adventure and a control freak wizard.
