The Face on the Milk Carton by: Caroline B. Cooney


When Janie glances down at the missing child on the milk carton, her world turns upside down because the girl on the milk carton she realizes as herself! What mystery lies ahead of her when she tries to put the pieces back together.

This book is so cliff hanging and I couldn't stop reading it! Caroline B. Cooney is a great author and I am looking forward to reading the next book in The Face on the Milk Carton series. I recommend this book to someone who would like a good mystery story.

RATING:6/6

Much Ado About Anne by: Heather Vogel Frederick


What will Cassidy, Emma, Jess and Megan face in the second year of their mother daughter book club? Drama, adventures and two secrets that are hidden from them, but why? 

This is a great book that is the sequel to the book The Mother daughter book Club. I have read both books and I think that this one is better. I would recommend it to mostly girls that like realistic fiction.

RATING: 6/6

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
