Much Ado About Anne, By Heather Vogel Fredrick

Posted by

The main people in this book are Cassidy (the hockey player), Megan ( the fashion crazed), Emma ( the bookworm) and Jess ( the shy one). The setting is Concord, Massachusetts. It is a very historical place. The girls are in a Mother-Daughter book club. There are boys that are mean to the girls and sometimes funny and girls that are mean and tease them. I really liked this book. I would recommend this to people who have read Anne of Green Gables because they read it in the book club. I would rate this 5 out of 5 stars. I liked this because it has things I can connect with the girls. If you like it, it is the second in a series of 6 books. It switches points of view between the 4 girls. If you like books about friends and family you should read this.

My Last Best Friend By Julie Bowe

                                      My last best friend.

                            by Julie Bowe

My last best friend is a really funny, good book. It is about a girl named Jena, and Jena’s best friend moved away. She is starting middle school with no best friend! To put more in Jena’s life,  his girl has a crush on Cole. Cole really has a crush on Jena, so it works out right? NO! They don’t know that the other person likes them! The book takes place mostly at school. I really liked this book! I would give it 5 stars! I Would recommend this book to some one who likes reading about drama in school! The other problem that you will come across in the book is how will she see her old best friend? Help Jena maybe find a new friend! Help Cole figure out if Jena likes him. Help Jena figure out if Cole likes her!

School Story, by Andrew Clements

Posted by

School Story is about a girl named Natalie. She writes a book, her friend wants to publish it. It takes a few steps but she says yes. The only problem is that Natalie’s mom is a publisher. And Natalie wants her mom to publish it. But her mom doesn’t know it. So will she get her mom to publish her book or will some one else get the job? If you read this terrible book you will find out. The editor of this book made a bad decision to publish it. Now a bunch of kids will have to read it. I give this book a one star rating because it was terrible and it told you the whole thing at the beginning. I recommend this book to the “Society of Bad Books.” This book is like eating a bad pickle the whole way through. My favorite part of the book is when I closed it.

My Book Review Of  Gone-Away-Lake! ! ! ! !

Benjamin’s  Book Review Of  Gone Away LakeBy

Benjamin Winokur-Applebaum

 The book that I just read is called Gone Away Lake! I finished it a little while ago but now I can finally write about it!!   It is By Elizabeth Enright

The reason I liked this book is because it has  one picture per chapter. So I know what the scenes from the book look like when I need a picture in my head !    I also like this book because they describe it from the perspective of a child named Portia who is exposed to be looked at as the narrator/main character !  I also like the book because it is in the perspective of two time periods now(35 years ago)and 5,555 years ago!  Also another reason I like this book is because about five people are the feelings in the book and that one person is telling all of the people about it!  I also like that it has a bit of make believe in it!!

The plot is that there are two kid’s Portia and Julian (main characters).  The two kids find a lake in the forest and they then start to explore and have adventures in the swamp.  But they also  might meet some people or things that you would  not normally see in real life or in a swamp !!

There  are tons of interesting flashbacks and stories of that some people tell that they meet in the story !!There are lots of people you will meet in this adventure and lots of names of animals.  So if you like animals this is your book and if you are a story or surprises lover this is also your book !!

I recommend this book to you because it has laughs and screams and tells you stories that are fake but seem real.  It gives you tips about nature!!  That is why I recommend it to you to read !!!!

This is why I liked this book. It is called Gone Away Lake for you who do not remember !!  So if you like anything that I said in this book review you should check this book out because it is in the public library’s.  There are two books in the series Gone Away Lake and Return To Gone Away!!  My name is ben and this is my book review for you !!!!!!!!!!!!!

ENJOY
