The book, Ten Kids No Pets is one of the best books that I’ve read this year.This story is based on a HUGE family that really wants a pet. Their parents really don’t mind what they do as long as they behave, and mostly do it in alphabetical order (when the parents are around). Even when their mom named them, she named them from a book called ” What should we name the baby” in alphabetical order. Trust me they have odd names! It’s interesting. It leaves you on an edge with each chapter being on a different child.The only rule in the Rosso house is that, THEY CAN’T HAVE ANY PETS! That’s really hard considering every time a chapter comes along somehow they end up with one during the week. One of my friends couldn’t wait to read it so we read it together and so far, I think that she’s enjoying it. This book is great! On some of the chapters, I couldn’t even put it down. Read this book, it’s awesome!!!!!!

GREGOR THE OVERLANDER by: Suzanne Collins
Comment byThis story, about Gregor, an 11 year-old boy who lives in New York City, is about to have a big spin in his life.One summer Gregor is playing with his sister “Boots” when he finds a portle, and as you find out later in the story Gregor discovers a world of incredible things and a quest that will take him farther than he thought.I think this is an interesting,exciting,
and deceiving book but you have to hold on to it long enough to get past the slow start.
THE HOUSE ON THE CLIFF by: Franklin W. Dixon
This is a very good book! It stars off kind of slow, but it gets really exciting. It’s in THE HARDY BOYS SERIES.

THE LION THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE by C.S. Lewis
Comment byThis book is exciting and surprising. Although in the
beginning it’s soft as you read on things get more and
more exciting. Since the book is about a magical land
things are not always normal. That to me is what makes it good because magical lands do not have to
make perfect sense. This is a really good book.
(From the CHRONICLES OF NARNIA series.)

IDA B. by Katherine Hannigan.
Comment byIda B was a great book, it changed the way I looked at things, like when we go through the hardest things that we still need to stay stong. So I would say you should read it. It was my favorite book I’ve read. And if you’re going through the tough stuff now, it will probably change the way you look at it now.

TEN KIDS NO PETS by Ann Martin
The book, Ten Kids No Pets is one of the best books that I’ve read this year.This story is based on a HUGE family that really wants a pet. Their parents really don’t mind what they do as long as they behave, and mostly do it in alphabetical order (when the parents are around). Even when their mom named them, she named them from a book called ” What should we name the baby” in alphabetical order. Trust me they have odd names! It’s interesting. It leaves you on an edge with each chapter being on a different child.The only rule in the Rosso house is that, THEY CAN’T HAVE ANY PETS! That’s really hard considering every time a chapter comes along somehow they end up with one during the week. One of my friends couldn’t wait to read it so we read it together and so far, I think that she’s enjoying it. This book is great! On some of the chapters, I couldn’t even put it down. Read this book, it’s awesome!!!!!!

THE PERILS OF PEPPERMINTS by Barbra Brooks Wallace
Comment byThis is is a good book. Here’s some advice- read the first book and don’t wait another year to read the sequel. Once you start it, you want to finish it, trust me. If had to rate it, I would give it a Ten !
