Jake and Lily by Jerry Spinelli

Jake and Lily by Jerry Spinelli is about two twins that have a special connection. For example, whenever they would play hide and seek they always knew where the other one was. Also every time it was their birthday they woke up at the train station with the smell of pickles. I can explain why later, but when their birthday was coming up Lily hoped they would wake up in the train station again because she feels they have been drifting apart. Since Jake has lots of friends now, Lily thinks they're going to lose their special connection. Jake is friends with a boy that lives in their neighborhood, the one that Lily hates. When their papa moves into a house near them, he helps Lily try to find a ‘’life’’.        

         

     I really liked this book a lot. Once I started reading it, I have to say I could not stop. Its very interesting and amusing to read. My favorite part was the ending because it makes everything better about the whole book. This book is all about family and friends and I would recommend this book to almost anyone that likes books that are about family and friends!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K Rowling

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K Rowling is one of the best books I've ever read. Harry Potter is not a normal boy. He is a wizard. His parents died when he was a one year old by the hand of Lord Voldemort. Harry’s mom gave up her life to save Harry, so when Voldemort tried to kill Harry it backfired. Now he is trying to find horcruxes to defeat Voldemort. Read the book to find out what happens.

This book reminds me that everything is not always going to be easy, but don’t give up. If you don’t try you’ll never succeed. This book reminds me that life is full of mistakes. If you don’t admit your mistakes you may lose something or someone.

She writes everything down at school, and at home. She writes about her friends, her mom and her dad too. There is this girl, her name is Angeline. Jamey thinks she is a bad person, but maybe she is not, maybe she is really nice. Read to find out.

It is a very good book and that is why I am writing about it. Jamey likes school a lot and I like school too. I think it is very fun because you get to learn something new every day. It can be fun, if you make it fun. I like school because you learn something new every day and when you go to school, you get to see your friends every day.

Fish in a Tree by Lynda Mullaly Hunt

Fish in a Tree is written by Lynda Mullaly Hunt. Fish in a Tree is about a girl named Ally with dyslexia. She has trouble learning in school and gets picked on because of it. A girl named Shay in her class bullies Ally. Then a new teacher comes to class and everything changes for Ally.

One thing we liked about the book was the close friendship that develops between Ally and her new friends. We also like how Ally learns to be strong. In the book Wonder, which we also read as a class, August was also bullied because of his disability. They both had to overcome their fear and stand up to the bully.

Big Nate Strikes Again by Lincoln Peirce

In Big Nate Strikes Again by Lincoln Peirce, Nate, Teddy, and Francis all got assigned a project in their class. They hope to be together, but only Teddy and Francis got paired up together. Nate got paired up with Gina who is his ¨archenemy¨. He gets in trouble and was forced to go to the library but the librarian made him work and he actually ended up doing his part of the the project.

I really liked this book because it was very funny and interesting. For instance, Nate thought a baby picture was his crush, but it turns out it was Gina. His friends were teasing him because he said he would know that face anywhere. In my life at school I always have to work with people I don't like or don’t work well with, but I just try my best and try to get along with them.

Big Nate Strikes Again is a book written by Lincoln Peirce. I thought it was an amazing book with funny conversations. It is about a boy named Nate that goes to a school with his best friends Francis, and Teddy. One day the Fleece Ball signup results were taped on the wall. When they looked at it they realized that they had a perfect team, but one specific player made Nate almost jump out of his skin. His school enemy…. Gina!!!!

This book reminds me of my life a bit because there’s always that one person that thinks they’re better just like Gina. So Nate reminds me of myself because I’m not the best when it comes  to school subjects like math, social studies, and ELA. Nate also reminds me of myself with the respect that he loves fun subjects like art.

What will Nate do to save his team? Find out by reading Big Nate Strikes Again!!!

Seven Wonders the Colossus Rises by Peter Lerangis

Seven Wonders the Colossus Rises by Peter Lerangis is about an 11 year old kid named Jack who ends up in an unusual hospital in the middle of nowhere. Doctors say that he has a certain amount of time to live because of a reason I’m not going to spoil. Jack meets people that also have a short amount of time to live. Together they have to find items that could potentially save them.

I really like this book because it is entertaining. It is also action packed and full of interesting parts about survival and mystery. The character Jack is very smart and there is some tension between the characters.  I connect to Jack in this way. Jack is smart and can make friends easily and can think in ways that some people can’t.

I like this book a lot because it has a lot of adventurous scenes and mysteries.This book reminds me of a series called Magic Tree House. They are alike because Magic Tree House books are a lot like this book, they go on a lot of adventurous missions. I hope you consider reading Stargazer!
