Fablehaven: this is a good book for people that like magic and faries and unreal creatures I give this book *************************************************** 50 stars
Inkheart: I like this book because it's modern day stuff with people who have the power
to read stuff out of books. E.G. Mo making Farid and gold come out of a book,
and Meggie making Tinker Bell come out of the Peter Pan book.
*****=5 star so far

Series of Unfortunate Events: I love this book. It is about a family of children who in their lifetime had suffered a great series of unfortunate events. Family member to family member. Everywhere they went bad things would happen to them. From the sad day at the beach to slipping and sliding at Mount Fraut.
Allie Finkles Rules for Girls Moving Day:
I just got done reading this book. It is one of the best books I have read this year. It is about a girl named Alllie Finkle. She is a 9 year old girl in 4th grade. Allie keeps a book of rules. Some of the rules are pretty funny. The book is about Allie having to move. She is trying to stop her parents from making them move. You will have to read the book to find out if her plan worked or if it did not.
I recommend this book to all girls. I doubt boys would like very much.

Series of unfortunate events: This is my all time favorite series it got me to start liking reading. If I had to list all the reasons this is my favorite it fill the page. The main reason I like it is because it's not all goody goody. I'm not saying all books are goody goody or even that goody goody ones are bad it's just I like a change of pace.

Julie of the Wolves!
In at least a couple of sentences, please tell me what you thought of Julie of the Wolves. It needs to be an appropriate, but honest critique; then give it a star rating!
I really enjoyed the book! It had a lot of sad parts in it, but it was really good. I think the sadest part was when Jello got killed. He was not the nicest dog, but it was still very sad to see him die like that. I hope there is a series to this book! If there is, I would really like to read the others.

I didn't really enjoy this book. The worst part was I didn't really understand it. I also thought this book was sad. But ya know sometimes sad ones are the best ones I just didn't really enjoy this one.

Jacob: I wasn't a big fan of the book some parts I did not get.**
Haley : I liked this book I really wish there is a seaqual:} ****
I thought the book was ok. But still the thing that I think was the coolest was when they took down the caribou. I thought that was awsome.

kaitlyn: I loved the book, it was so awsome and very interesting. Julie is a girl that has to move in with her aunt. And she has to mary a guy named Daniel. She runs away from there. She has a penpal named Amy, and Julie has to go to California, and Amy said when Julie comes there, she gets a pink room. And she finds a wolf pack that she stays with. And she comes attached with the wolves.********
I think that the book was great. There were some sad parts but for the most of it, it was great.

-Connor
I agree with Kylee, the book was sad at some parts, but for the most part it was exciting and fun to read.
I AM NOT COPYING CONNOR. :)
OK, my highlights are... Amaroq killing Jello, :( Miyax finding Kapuguen and finding out his new life,
Miyax's insparation to get to Point Hope, (FYI my sister's name is Hope)
Miyax's naming of the wolves, Kapu growing up, sad when Amaroq dying, :( and finaly, (for those who are still reading this, and have not died from boardem) (I think that's how you spell it) :) is her friendship with Amy, her penpal.
*****=5 stars :)
- Boaz
Ok the book was kinda weird somtimes it made me lol I liked the part when the plane was attacking amaroq and and its was kinda weird when amaroq attacked jello
i didnt really like the book so i give it a * star :(
-matt! :)
Woo-Hoo That was an A-ok book, i agree with john it was hard to understand.But yeah i liked it.Yes and weird a little,I mean Girl in a wolf clain, dont u think she would get eaten????? I Give it a ** and a half star -Reese P.
I think the book was so so, because I like fantasy. I also thought that it was gross when Daniel tried to kiss Miyax. I give the book ** stars. At first Julie was boring but then it got okay!!!!!! I thought that it was sort of weird how Julie lived with wolves and was part of their den!! I thought she would get eaten!
I thought this book was really good but when jello died was that was sad (if you haven't noticed everyone is using the word sad) anywho there were some gross parts.I forgot about when amroqu died now that was sad .I give this book ******* over five stars
~ELLIE
Julie of the Wolves was a very emotional book at certain parts.It was very intense in family meanings.And very suspensful.
****
~Austin
first of all I wanted to say 3 things.#1 Julie of the wolves is a cool book, but when Myax left for San Fransisco she said she would get there and in the end she wound up not going because her dad found her.#2 I thought it was weird when Danial was being all gross and crazy trying to smooch her.I thought it was sad when Jello deid and when Kapu got shot.

Lyri ****=4 stars
I thought the book could use more detail ,plus I really understand it -Alycea *** stars

I agree in many ways with haylie , kylee ,and boaz.Miyax was smart with the wolves and ,movements .It was sad when Tornait dies ,these are the kind of books that most adults and children can enjoy .Some paticular parts were unimaginal to me like the part when Daniel went wild and ripped off her sleeves ,OUCH!!! Read this book and you'll be amaze what happens in this story .Ms.Ball picked out a good book to read plus ,there was actually part when her mother died at a young age that would be sad if my mother would die .I thought this would be a good book and that if I would choose a book that my whole family could read it would be this book . This is one reason I really like lots of dogs and,it has discriptive words.

I think that this book was pretty funny,and I LOL! But, it was devastating in ways because a lot of "family members" died. I agree with everyone. All those trips walking, and begging for nothing? It was a difficult trip to her dad's through the storm. She was angry with her dad because she thought he had forgotten about her and the Eskimo ways, and she just left. When the book said, "She turned her boots to Kapuan," what that mean? Did she stay with her dad or return the wolves? I think she went to San Francisco because she wanted the pink room, but I think she will return to the wolves and the Eskimo ways. I do hope there's other novels.

I think it was kind of sad because Juli never really had a family. Also a little gross because Amaroque got killed. I like the way Julie forms a bond with the wolves. The wolves kind of became her family. ****stars

I think the book was very good.I just did not like the part when Daniel tried to kiss Julie.If the book were real I would wish Kupu were my dog.2 deaths in the whole book I am glad no one else died though.If you love dogs this is a good book for you.

i really liked this book. It was one of those books where you don't want to put it down ! I would love to read the next book if there is one,because the author just kind of left you hanging. The only things I didn't like was the 1 part with Daniel and also when Amoroq killed Jello ,even though he was not the sweetest dog in the pack. I would of not liked to see that like Miyax did. Other than those few things I really liked the book I think that the was one of the best books I have ever read; I would tell anyone who wants a good book to read to read this one. I did not think I would like this book but once I got in to the book I could not put it down . Any ways I think this book was amazing and I think people should really try it and will probably love it.

Molly Moon Book of Hypnotism;
I thought this book was funny, but you have to think about it to catch up. It's nerve racking and there's many questions to ask. Good thing there's three other books. ********************************************************************************************* stars -1
