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. 

RATING: 6/6

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.

RATING: 4/6

Dizzy by:Cathy Cassidy



Dizzy hasn't seen her mother in eight years. All she has that reminds herself of her are the gifts that her mom gives to her every time she has her birthday, but this year... Where's her gift? Then Dizzy realizes that her mother has a surprise for her, but what is it? It's a fun story about hippies, travelers and it all starts off with one simple wish.


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.

Talent by: Zoey Dean


Emily is your ordinary girl. Living in Iwoa is pretty boring. Taking a trip to Los Angeles would be a chance of a life time. Emily desperately wants to see Davey Woodward. She has to try to make an entrance to his premiere party!
Mac is the daughter of a well known agent in Los Angeles. She's looking around for an excuse when Ruby Goldman asks her what her plan is for social chair. Then she sees Emily doing what all actresses do acting and Emily definitely has talent. Will she be able to represent this talented nobody and follow her mother's foot steps, but most importantly will she become Social Chair this year and beat Ruby Goldman?

This story was so good that when I finished it at the end I was so angry because I wanted to read more. It is a great book based on finding the inner talent in you and finding out that you don't always get what you want. I love this book so much!

RATING: 6/6

Flaming Olympics by: Michael Coleman


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.


RATING: 5/6
