It boosted my confidence about my playing baseball. I learned not to give up no matter what. Michael couldn’t play and didn’t give up until everyone believed that he was old enough to play. I would recommend this book to everyone.

Edwardo is a really bad boy and doesn’t even notice he turns into the nicest boy in the whole wide world. I liked the book because when he tries to do something bad it turns out good.

This book is about a girl named Jessica who got badly burned in a car accident. Jessica was in the car alone while it was running. Then a truck smashed into it. The gas spilled and it started a fire. Jessica was trapped ,with no one to help her. Her face was burning like a thousand suns. She lost her voice a little and the beauty of her. Her whole body was burned. Overall I thought this book was excellent. It was thrilling and breath taking. I wish there was a sequel!!!

I LOVED this book. Zoe wants to be a concert pianist...first she needs a piano and lessons. Her parents give her a wheezy Perform-o-Rama organ. ...not quite a concert piano. As Zoe masters the organ, she deals with jerky friends, a surprising new friend, a dad who’s so scared of life that he never leaves home, and a mom who’s so busy that she never seems to leave work.

Zoe is one of my favorite characters ever! She is funny and smart and has the best observations. I love when she takes lessons with her dad--like how to be an airplane pilot.

This book also has a GREAT cover.

I’d recommend it to people who love Shug by Jenny Han.

This book is too good to be true. Gregor finds himself in a world where everything is oversized. In the Underland he's in a prophesy and he has to save his dad from giant rats and get him and his sister back to the Overland at the same time. I think this is a great story and you probably will too.

Wolf Brother by Michelle Paver

samanthaavi wrote: This was a great book! This book took me back 6,000 years ago and I felt as if I was there, watching Torak, Wolf and Renn traveling over the dense forests, crossing the deadly and freezing ice river and facing off against the ferocious demon-bear. I was really happy when they finally defeated the bear.
