Book: Wings

             
                    This book is written by E.D. Baker. I loved this book! It's about a girl who is a bit weird because her freckles look like sparkles and when there is a full moon she feels like dancing and then she grows wings. There is a new boy at her school and he seems a bit weird too and when she is at his Halloween party she gets kidnapped by goblins. In this book things start happening right away and it is exiting and once you start reading it you won't want too stop. If you are going too read it, it is worth buying. The characters are good and I liked them. The beginning part is written twice but in more of two different people's point of view and I thought that was interesting.Some parts of the book are funny. I think the age groups that would like this book would be 11-15. The ending is good but I wish there was a sequel but I don't think there is.

Book: The Frog Princess

                    This book is written by E.D. Baker. This book is very good. It's about a girl who is a princess and she is at the swamp one day and a frog tells her that he is a prince and that a witch cast a spell on him and if she will kiss he will turn back into a human and she does kiss him and that turns her into a frog and he stays frog and they try too turn back into humans.It is the first book in a series called Tales Of The Frog Princess. Things start happening right away in the book and I like that. It is easy too picture what is going on in this book. When the girl is talking you don't really realise she is a frog and I like that. This book is a bit funny. I think the age groups that would like this book are 9-13. I can imagine a bit what the next book in the series will be about.

Book: Mockingbird

                            This book is written by Kathryn Erskine. This book is good. It's about a girl and her older brother died and it's just her and her dad and when she reads the definition of closure in the dictionary she tries too find it. This book is a bit sad. It is easy too picture what is happening in this book. The talking is wrote like it is thinking and that was a bit confusing in the beginning. The chapters are short and a lot of time passes between each chapter. I think this book would be good for the age groups 9-12. The ending was really good and I liked it.

Book: Savvy

                       This book is written by Ingrid Law. This book is really good. It's about a girl and in her family when they turn thirteen they get a power they call their savvy, and a couple of days before the girl's thirteenth birthday her dad gets into an accident and he goes too the hospital with her mom and she thinks she can help him so she tries to get to him. This book is different than I thought it would be but I'm glad it was like this. The book has good characters and they seem real and in the book everyone else is normal except for that family and I like how that happened. Some parts of the beginning are confusing but it gets easier too get as it goes on. I think this book would be good for the age groups 10-13. The ending is good but I'm not sure how he sequel will be.

Book: Hatchet

                 This book is written by Gary Paulsen. This book is good. It's about a boy who is on a plane visiting his dad because his parents are divorced and the plane crashes in the woods so he has too survive in the woods by him self and pretty much the only thing he has is a hatchet. Some of the things he has to do to survive are gross. Some parts of this book are a bit boring. I think this book would be good for the age groups 11-14. This book was how I expected it too be but I as I was coming near the end I didn't expect the ending.

Book: You Wish

      This book is written by Mandy Hubbard. This book is really good.  It's about a girl and on her sixteenth birthday she wishes that all her birthday wishes would come true because they never do and all her birthday wishes from her past birthdays start coming true . This book is really funny because some of the wishes are really funny and weird. I think the age groups that would like this book would be all teenagers. The ending is good but it did not explain how the wishes came true but it was still good.

Book: Holes

     This book is written by Louis Sachar. This book is ok.  The first half is boring but it gets better and more things happen. The book is about a boy who is accused of stealing something that he really didn't steal but no one believes him so as a punishment he has too go to a camp where he has too dig holes all day. Sometimes when I was reading the main character got a bit annoying. In the book they had parts where it went back about a hundred years ago and explained some things and I liked those parts. I don't think this is a good book too read if you don't have a lot of time to read because it is not that good. On the back of the book it said it was humourous but I didn't think it was and there was two little parts at the end which were a bit funny.   I think this book would be good for the age groups 10-13. I liked the ending of the book but some things were unexplained.
