The main characters in the story, Swindle by Gordon Korman, are Griffin Bing, Ben the dog, Dad, and coach Nimiz.  I like the dog because I’m a HUGE DOG LOVER.  But they don’t know that Ben the dog talks.  At times he acts like a normal dog, but he talks to himself in his head.  One of the main things that happened is when Griffin had a million dollar baseball card, but somehow someone stole the million dollar baseball card.  The author’s message is to inform you about things in particular, like the main thing that had happen in this story.  This book gives you an exciting feeling because you get into reading it and you want to read it more and more.  My connection to this book is that I love dogs and that is pretty much why I chose this book.  Would I recommend this book? “Yes.”

Cowboy by Nate Crosby

It’s a graphic novel!  Cowboy is written and illustrated by Nate Crosby. The book is about a boy who is trying to save horses.  He is in a desert with a weapon that looks like a toy horse that is a gun. He is saving horses from people who are torturing them. He is a very hard working boy that cares about them and he is an undercover cop.  I think the book is trying to get people to help animals when they are in danger. I like how the boy helped horses and I like graphic novels because they have great pictures.  Hope you like it to!

A Child Called It by Dave Pelzer

A Child Called It is written by Dave Pelzer.  This is an amazing autobiography.  I would suggest this book to a mature reader only.  You won't find it in our Elementary School library.  Dave Pelzer  was a young boy when he started getting abused by his mother, Cathrine Pelzer.  Dave barely ate any food at all!  Dave would have to do all the chores in the house and when he was done his reward was a little scrap of food for dinner, or he would get locked up in the basement till it was time for dinner or bed time. I don’t think abuse is good for this world so don’t abuse!!  Do you think that Dave will survive?  Will he escape from this bad place?

My book is Dork Diaries: Tales from a Not-So-Fabulous Life, by Rachel Renee Russell. The main characters are Nikki and Brandon. I like them because they are good in the story. There is a Halloween party and Brandon asks Nikki to the party. It’s a party at school. The theme of the story is fun, because they’re at a party and it’s Halloween. The author’s message is to have fun!  It does have sad moments but mostly happy, nervous and shy. Everyone should read it because most people like parties and yes, I would recommend this book.

The Throne of Fire by Rick Riordan

I love Rick Riordan’s new book The Throne of Fire.  It won't disappoint anyone who has read any other of Rick Riordan’s books.  The characters, Carter and Sadie, are so realistic with all their hate, love, and self-doubt.  Unlike other books, this takes place all over the world. They are fighting against Apophis, the chaos snake, and his evil minions.  Also they have a few days time to find the three parts of the book of Ra, wake Ra, and repeat the day cycle.  I wound recommend this book to every Rick Riordan fan and action fan alike!
