 * Name || Book Title || Author's Name || Rating (0-5) || Why? ||
 * Amelia || Twisted Summer || Willo Davis Roberts || 5 || This book is full of suspense, excitement, and full of little mysteries inside one book. This book got scary through the the middle of it, (like a book that you wouldn't want to read at night type book). I would recommend this book to readers who like to read about murder cases and books like that. I could not put down this book. It was the best book i have ever read yet!. ||
 * Brianna || I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You || Ally Carter ||  ||   ||
 * Claire || The Egypt Game || Zilpha Keatley Snyder || 3.5 ||  ||
 * Torrey || The Season || Sara MacLean || 5 || The book was very detailed and dramatic it had many twists and i could never put it down. This was a very good book. ||
 * Ally || I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I Would Have yo Kill You || Ally Carter ||  ||   ||
 * Kirby || Closed for the season || Mary Downing Hahn || 5 || I liked that in this book at the end of chapters it was a cliffhanger so you would have to keep reading and could not put it down. It had many small details that help you picture the characters and the scenes and it didn't get confusing at all it was always keeping on track and didn't have little side things that change the whole story and get you confused. What I didn't like was that some of the scenes seemed to not be needed that much and would kind of get you to think different things about the characters and the antagonist would be seeming better and then you might think that the antagonist was the good guy and not the bad guy. ||

 * Sarah Elizabeth || Sammy Keys || Wendelin Van Draanen ||  ||   ||
 * Greer || The Egypt Game || Zilpha Snyder || 5 || This book was amazing! I loved how it never got boring…there was always something exciting happening. I really enjoyed the creativity of the kids in this book for all their great ideas. Like they made their own Egyptian costumes and made an old storage yard into Egypt by building temples and statues. The mystery part definitely fit this book perfectly. This was a great book. ||

When they come next year, the Cowgill boys terrorize the town, and Grandma fights back by putting a dead mouse in the milk they delivered to her. Joey and Mary Alice help Grandma trespass, pinch property, poach, catch the sheriff in his underwear, and feed the hungry in one day on their third visit. Next summer, Grandma bakes a gooseberry pie for the county fair. Another great baker bakes a gooseberry pie, and she switches the name cards for the pies when no one is looking, because she thinks his is better. He wins with her pie though. Joey gets to ride on a plane like he has wanted all his life because Grandma tricked the pilot with her hat ribbon. On their fourth visit, everyone believes in the legend of the phantom brakeman, and one night everyone sees him. It is Joe in disguise though, so that two people that are not allowed to leave can escape without being noticed. It is the Centennial celebration of the town the next time they come and they have a big festival. A 96-year-old man and a 103-year-old man both have floats for the oldest man in the town, and they have a fistfight.
 * Name || Book Title || Author || Rating 0 - 5
 * Amelia A. || Weasel || Cynthia Deflice || 4.5 || In this book, I liked how it never let you put down the book. This book is full of suspense. I think this book could be a little longer and go into a little more detail in some parts. ||
 * Brianna B. || Second Sight || Gary Blackwood || 2.5- 3 || In the beginning of Second Sight it is kind of slow, but as the story goes on it gets exciting. You keep on thinking about how they are going to pull off the act and you want to learn about the girl and her uncle. I think that once I got a little further everyday, I was liking the book a little bit more. I think the characters were interesting and were fun to follow (most of the time). ||
 * Claire B. || A Long Way From Chicago || Richard Peck || 3 || Joey and his sister Mary Alice visit their grandmother every summer. ||
 * Torrey C. || Chains || Laurie Halse Anderson || 4 || What I did like about this book was that it kept me hooked and i never wanted to stop reading. What I didn't like about his book was that the ending wasn't really what I thought it was going to be. ||
 * Ally D. || Remembrance || Theresa Breslin || 2 || The one thing i didn't like about this book was that it was not one of those books that would keep you wanting to read more. It was a very well written book but it was hard to follow at some times. Also, another reason why I didn't like it was because I haven't read much of those types of books before and it is hard to get used to when it is not your favorite. ||
 * Kirby E. || Number the stars || Lois Lowry || 4 || Something I did not like about the book is that many times were you wanted the author to keep writing about this topic she would stop writing about that. I wish that she had made the book longer to continue her thoughts about it. I did like that in the book they went into detail about a lot of things so you would understand better. I would have liked it if she had kept going writing more of the exciting events that she has in the book. ||

 * Kathleen H. || Westminster West || Jessie Haas ||  ||   ||
 * Clare H. || Maude March on the run ||  ||   ||   ||
 * Anna J. || A Soldiers Secret || Sheila Solomon Klass ||  ||   ||
 * May May L. || Macaroni Boy || Katherine Ayres || 4.5 || I liked the book "Macaroni Boy". I liked this book so much because it was a perfect level for reading and it had a great, but weird topic. I think that Katherine Ayres did a great job writing this book because she chose a great topic to write about and she left every chapter with a question that made you want to keep reading. The only thing I didn't like about this book is that Katherine Ayres didn't answer some of the questions that occurred. I would recommend this book to someone who wants a good and interesting quick read. I think this book is a very well written book. ||
 * Libby L. || Bud, Not Buddy || Christopher Paul Curtis || 4 || I gave this book a 4 because i though the the author was trying to hard to add so many details that he could get to the picture already. I feel like he needed to get to the picture faster. The part i liked about the book was i liked how buddy was so brave and so courages and i just thought the book was pretty good except for the parts i mentioned that i didn't like. ||
 * Sarah Elizabeth M. || Bud not Buddy || Christopher Paul Curtis || 7 || I gave this book a 7 because it was a very interesting topic and the author did very well with describing details. This book wasn't a 10 because in some parts of the book he would go into to much detail and he would boar you half to death. This book was good because it was reality it wasn't something that the author thinks might be real but the author knows it is real. ||

 * Anna S. || A Year Down Yonder || Richard Peck ||  ||   ||
 * Emily S. || Lisa's War || Carol Matas || 5 || I liked that that the book's main characters were all the inside workers against the germans that came to Denmark. I really didn't thin there was anything wrong with it. ||

 * Lauren W. || Kit Kitteredge || Valerie Tripp ||  ||   ||
