"The Light in the Attic: By Shell Silverstein

Reviewed by: Maddie 2nd Grade

This is a book of funny poems.

"It's Hot" is my favorite poems because the guy takes off his skin and all of his body parts.

Reviewed by: Caitlin 6th Grade

This book is about a girl named Lucy who just moved to Iowa.  She finds a book/diary that was called the "Book of Story Beginnings".  She writes in the book that her dad is a magician and it comes true.  Her dad turns into a bird and flies out into the imaginary sea.  It's up to Lucy and a boy named Oscar to save him fromt he magical world they created.

Oscar is definitely the most interesting character.  He, for one, time traveled from the early 19th century to way later into the 1900's (and stayed the same age).  In the end he overcomes his loneliness and confusion and becomes a great addition to Lucy's family.

I really enjoyed this book and totally recommend it.  It's a mixture of fantasy and adventure and has three happy endings!

"Howl's Moving Castle" By Diana Wynne Jones

Reviewed By: Sophia 4th Grade

A girl named Sophie who is under a curse that changed her into an old woman, ends up in Wizard Howl's castle.

I think that Howl and Sophie are the most interesting because Sophie is very strong in her mind and Howl is very stubborn.

You should read this book because it is very funny, magical and intersting.

"Heaven is for Real" By Todd Burpo and Lynn Vincent

Reviewed By: Mia 5th Grade

"Heaven is for Real" is about Colton Burpo (a real person).  He has an emergency surgery and goes to heaven and back.

Colton, to me is the most interesting character because of everything he went through.

I think people should read this book because it teaches you to believe in God and to always believe.

The Book is about a town that's very poor and the children have to compete in what they call a celebration but they have to kill each other to win!

Katniss is the main character so I think she is awesome!! :)
