            Jinx is a curious young boy who has been taken by Syman and is now a servant who is starting to learn magic. Raven was a thief but is now helping out Jinx. Elfwyn is the kind of girl who likes to explore.

            I liked the book. It was adventurous, crazy, fun, scary, strange, awesome book. I recommend this book because of its awesome characters.

Smile

By Raina Telgemeier

            This is a good book because it is a short and funny book. In this book a girl got her two front teeth knocked out. Once she got to school the next day everyone made fun of her and teased her about her teeth. Read to find out what happens.

            My opinion is that this is a serious, yet funny, book. My favorite part is when she has to get braces because, even though she is scared, she faces her fears. One funny part was when she got her other teeth because at first she didn’t like it and then she did. I would recommend it because it is a short and really fun and funny book to read.

Say it Ain't So

By Josh Berk

             I read the book Say it Ain’t So and I really enjoyed it. The main characters were Lenny, Mike, Other Mike, Maria, and Davis. I like Mike the most because he is very forgiving and encouraging. The plot of this story is when the starting catcher, Davis, gets framed Lenny’s best friend, Mike, gets to start. They will have to find out who framed Davis and why.

 My opinion on the book was that it was great. My favorite part in the book was when Lenny got to pitch in the championship game. I learned to prove something before you say it. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes mystery/adventure.

Mandie and the Quilt Mystery

By Lois Gladys Leppard

            Mandie found a quilt in her house’s attic. It has a Cherokee secret message. She goes to visit her Cherokee friend, but nobody wants to tell her what it means. One day the quilt goes missing. Mandie and her friends find it in Riley’s room in the school house. Riley knows what the message is, and is willing to say what it is. He says, “The message means…”

            I liked this book. I liked when the message was told and that there were no scary parts. I learned the Cherokee removal was in the year 1838. I would recommend this because it is mysterious, interesting, and fun.

The Girl who could Fly

By Victoria Forester

            This is a good book because it is a twist on a super hero. It is about a girl, Piper, who gets sent to a boarding school because she can fly. The boarding school is a school for people like her. Once she gets there she realizes it is not what she expected.

            My opinion about the book is that it was a really good book. My favorite part was when they were trying to run away because it had me on the edge of my seat the whole time.

Smile

By Raina Telgemeier

            It all starts when Raina falls from running back to her house from Girl Scouts with her friends. She knocks out/pushes up her two front upper teeth. Raina goes through lots of braces, headgear, a retainer with two fake teeth attached, surgery, and luckily it pays off. She meets new friends and has trouble with boys. Finally, with new and nice friends, Raina can actually smile without being embarrassed!

            I recommend this book because it is a good book. You should read this book because you might have the same problem. My opinion of this book is that it was good and was a tough journey for Raina.

The School for Good and Evil: A World Without Princes

By Soman Chainani

            The book I read is The School for Good and Evil: A World Without Princes. The main characters are Sophie, Agatha and Tedros. I felt sad about how much their friendship went wrong.

            In the beginning Sophie is making a play, some things go wrong, and they end up at the School for Good and Evil. The school has turned into a School for Boys and a School for Girl.

            I liked it, but it was too confusing at the beginning, so I don’t recommend it.
