Alvin Ho, by Lenore Look
Genre: Fiction

The reason why I picked 3rd to lowest is because the book made no sense whatsoever! You can not be allergic to a lot of things!

The Journal of Jesse Smoke: A Cherokee Boy, by Joseph Bruchac
Genre: Historical Fiction

The Journal of Jesse Smoke was a great book, but it had a lot of killing. It has great description. It almost felt like you were actually in the book.

Voyage on the Great Titanic: The Diary of Margaret Anne Brady, by Ellen Emerson White
Genre: Historical Fiction

This book was exciting, emotional, and interesting, but it needs more facts. We would recommend it for ages 10 and up. Overall it was very descriptive and made you feel like you were really on the Titanic.

Searching for Candlestick Park, by Peg Kehret
Genre: Fiction

I give this book four stars because it is a good book but it has a little bit too much detail. But don't get me wrong, it's a great book. I suggest that all readers around the age of 10 or 11 should read this book. It's about a kid who's mom doesn't let him keep his cat so he runs away from his house in Seattle and goes to find his dad in San Fransisco. On the way he finds a friend who at first didn't trust. I'm not going to tell you the end but I suggest that you read it. It's a real good book.
