Dying to Meet You by Kate Klise

Dying to Meet You by Kate Klise is a fiction book.  The main characters in this book are Ignatius B. Grumply, Olive, and Seymour.  Remember Olive is the mean one and there’s something weird about Olive.   I.B. Grumply wants a house, but he finds something in it, so he can’t buy it because this thing doesn’t like sharing.  I really did not like this because it didn’t make sense to me, but you might get it.  The whole story is told through notes and letters.  I would not recommend this book.  A person who writes letters to I.B. Grumply in this book is ... You will have to find out for yourself.

Marsupials by Nic Bishop

The book Marsupials by Nic Bishop is about animals that live in the wilderness and how they survive. The animals live in a whole lot of interesting places, like trees and underground. If you like animals and informational books you would like this book about marsupials. There are more than 300 types of marsupials, from possums that glide from tree to tree, to dunnarts that nest in hollows. I really enjoyed this book because I enjoy reading books about animals and books that are filled with information. I anticipate that people reading the book will really enjoy it.

Heroes of 9/11 by Allan Zullo

In Heroes of 9/11 by Allan Zullo, Captain Jay Jonas and Officer David Lim are heroes from 9/11.  When the towers fell they were both inside and they heard it falling, but they still wanted to stay inside to save people.  More than 3000 people died that day and many were injured.  Some people were okay but others didn't make it.  Officer David Lim and his dog Sirius were in the tower when it fell.  When the tower fell, Officer David Lim’s dog died instantly.  This reminded me of when my sister’s house burned down; firemen came to put the fire out. I would recommend this book for people who like sad and scary books or nonfiction.  You'll need to check this one out from the public library.

Poppy and Ereth by Avi

Poppy and Ereth by Avi is both fantasy and fable.  Poppy and Ereth live in the Dimwood Forest.  This book is about Poppy and Ereth going on an adventure to find the right climate to live in, because in the Dimwood Forest there is a huge snowstorm.  I like this book because the author’s message is to tell people that everyone has feelings, even animals. I love this book because it has a lot of voice and it’s about animals. The mood is exciting, sad, and even a little scary.  I would recommend this book to young readers through 5^th, 6^th, 7^th, and 8^th grade.
