If you like the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, you will love this book. The book is full of mind boggling puzzles that the reader can try to solve along the way. Great book that is fun and easy to read.

Someone Named Eva


Someone Named Eva
This story takes place during World War II. A small town in Poland is taken over by Nazi Germany and the families are split apart. Children are measured and evaluated to see if they have what it takes to become part of the "perfect" German society. Eva is stripped away from her family and placed in a school to learn how to become a perfect German girl. After being forced to forget her native language and learning German, she is adopted by a German family. This new family holds many secrets about what is going on during the war. Eva struggles to hold on to who she is while trying to fit into this new family.
This is a great book full of action. The ending explains what is real and what is fiction. Unfortunately, most of what you read actually happened. Two thumbs up for this Historical Fiction Novel!!

Walk Two Moons


Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech is one of the BEST books I've ever read. Sam, a young girl, takes a road-trip with her grandparents to Utah to experience what her mother was like. When her father starts ''dating'', Sam must figure out why? I think that was the BEST part! The book ending was very emotional. It was the BEST surprise ending I've ever read! I highly recommend this book to everyone who likes entertaining yet meaningful stories!!!

Toys Go Out


The book Toys Go Out is a very good book, I liked it a lot. It is a story about a lot of toys and one toy especially, named Plastic. Plastic does not know what kind of toy she is. So she takes a journey to find out her kind. I also like it because there are a lot of toys that come to life, it is really cool. But to find out what Plastic is you have to read the book. The end of the book is really good because every body gets a long better than before.

The Lightning Thief




The Lightning Thief, the first of the series, is a very good book for anyone who likes adventure. The book is about a boy who finds out he's a demigod. He goes to a special camp called camp Half-Blood. He is offered what the camp calls a “ quest” where he has to retrieve Zeus's master bolt and bring it back to Olympus before the summer solstice or their would be a three way civil war. The Lightning Thief is a good and long book for anyone to read.
