Hoot By: Carl Hiaasen


Roy normally doesn't look out the window of the school bus, but today he had no choice. Not when Dana Matherson (The biggest bully in school) squashes your face like a bug on the school bus window, but that's how he spotted the running boy and he owes it all to Dana himself.

This is a great book about standing up for things that you believe in. I recommend this book to people who like mystery and adventure and care for the environment.

Music of Dolphins by:Karen Hesse


 Her names Mila. A mysterious girl found on an island by a coast guard. Scampering around trying to escape his grip, but she's not an ordinary girl she's a dolphin girl. Raised by dolphins for most of her life. Trying to achieve being human well that's hard for her. Will this dolphin girl understand the ways of the humans?

This is a sad story but I really enjoyed it when I read it, but i think that the ending could be a little bit better because the story seems incomplete. I still love this book because it leaves you wondering, "What will happen next?" when Karen Hesse leaves you with an ending like that. I would recommend it to anyone that likes a good story about life and being human.

This is a great book. It shows that even though you are different people still love you. I highly recommend this book to people that like adventures. I would like to read other books by Cathy Cassidy.

The Olympics is a very special sporting event. It all begins with the opening ceremony till the end. Each olympian has a special role, they all take part in one thing. They always remeber what they must do to be the best that they can be and mostly to be faster higher swifter.


This book is blazing with a ton of facts about the modern and older days of the olympics. When I read this book I learned a ton of things that I didn't know before. It is a great way to learn and have fun. I think that I will enjoy reading another of Micheal Coleman's books again.

This is a great book. With a bit of life this book is really good and I look forward to reading another of Ralph Fletcher's books. It made me want to re read it over and over again but if I really did I would get a bit bored but I thought that the book would keep on going and then I realized that I was at the end of the book. Once again it is a really good book.

Max has a small brain trapped in a big body and Kevin has a big brain trapped in a small body. Together they are Freak the Mighty!!
