Crenshaw by Katherine Applegate

       Crenshaw by Katherine Applegate is about a boy named Jackson and his family. His mom and Dad and his sister and dog might have to live In a minivan again. They are falling into hard times with no more money to pay rent. Crenshaw is a cat, he's large, he’s outspoken, and he’s imaginary. He has come back into Jackson’s life to help him. Crenshaw is so real to Jackson that it’s like Crenshaw is alive. It’s like when he closes his eyes, then opens them Crenshaw is still there. The imagination of a big cat is kind of weird.

I like Crenshaw because this book shows a lot of empathy, and I have an imaginary friend. In this book it shows how strong Crenshaw is, even if he’s imaginary. For me I don’t like cats, but he’s a big cat so I like this cat. I like books like this because you can’t stop reading it because you want to know what happens next. I really wanted to know what happens to Jack’s family. I pretty much think this book is really good and it catches you and makes you not stop reading, so maybe you will like it too.

Also Known As Harper by Ann Haywood Leal

Also Known As Harper by Ann Haywood Leal is a book about a girl named Harper and she has a true passion for writing and reading her own poems. Harper tried so hard to read her poems to people, but everytime she tried she failed. Then one day that changed. Harper had one true friend, but after a long time being friends they stopped hanging out. After that, Harper felt that her and Hemingway, her younger brother, would never make friends again. They moved into a hotel and after that move everything changed. Harper realized her life was not so bad after all. Read the book to find out what happened next!

Also Known As Harper is an excellent book. This book is funny and really sad. This book reminds me of another book called The Swift Boys And Me. The plot of the books are alike because they both have lost one of their parents and in both books they move. The main idea of the book was that you should keep trying and never give up. <3 span="">
