The title of my reading partnership book is The Chocolate Touch, by Patrick Skene Catling. The main character is John Midas and the book takes place far in his town. After John finds a mysterious coin, he buys a box of chocolate and everything he eats or touches his mouth, turns into chocolate. John starts to have problems with this. My favorite part is when the song from the play comes up in chapter eight, “Where the pools are bright and deep, Where the gray trout lies asleep, Up the river and over the lea, That’s the way for Billy and me….” I enjoyed this book, I would give it three stars on a scale of five stars because it wasn’t my favorite book. I would still recommend it, especially to people who like fun, fiction books.
The song lyrics you included in your review are intriguing! Is this song important to understanding the plot of the book? You rate the book 3 stars. What about the book didn’t work for you?
It’s a great book. Read it a while ago.

I liked the review but this book doesn’t sound to good.
I just read the book. It’s kind of old fashioned.

I agree with Kate, it was a little old fashioned.
