"Because of Winn-Dixie" by Kate DiCamillo

One day India Opal Buloni goes to the supermarket, and brings home something that no one would expect. A dog she named after the Winne-Dixie supermarket. Why does she bring this dog home? Because she wanted to save him for going to the pound and she told the manager that that he was her dog. In the beginning she is a little iffy about the dog, but soon she falls for the charming smile, and the great personality. This dog helps her out more than she thinks though. Winne-Dixie helps her meet Miss. Franny Block, Otis, and Gloria Dump. Opal probably would've had a different experience if she hadn't met Winne-Dixie, and she might just help some people along the way.
I give Because of Winne-Dixie 5 stars because it is a charming story full of laughs, and tears. I have read it more than once, and I loved it every time.

"Storey's Guide to Raising Pigs" by Kelly Klober

This book is awesome!! It will teach you anything you want to know about pigs. It will tell you about basic care and emergency care. It will help you if you want to go to the breeding business. That or maybe you just think there just soooo cute. I would really recommend this book if you just want to get a pig because they look cute. I believe this because most problems happen to a pig when the owner does this. I had to reed the book to be able to get a pig and I got one. I wanted to breed them so I read the book and it had everything about that in there. If you the not afraid of blood type the book teaches you to how to butcher as well. This book is great for a helping expert hog raiser. That means that a novice at hogs would exceed above and beyond expectations. It also shows how to make pens, homes, food and containers. This book gots it all! Including how to take care of them if they have a major medical attention what to do. All the steps in breeding is in this bookbecuase you cant just put two pigs together and breed. You have to know the steps that of which are in the greatest book of all time. This one. Have fun!

"Samurai Shortstop" by Alan Gratz

In this historical fiction book, Toyo Shimada is a first year at his new boarding school. School is rough for him because the seniors get amusement from beating up the first years and tormenting them. Toyo's father and uncle are both samurai and before Toyo starts school, he has to help his uncle commit seppuku, (suicide). Toyo sees that his school has a baseball team and he wants to join but the seniors say girls can't join the team. Toyo tried and tries but never convinces the seniors to let him on the team. His father teaches him the way of the samurai, called Bushido. This helps Toyo focus and play better to make the team. He teaches the team Bushido and they become good enough to beat an American team which is like winning the Super Bowl ten times in a row. But how does this affect Toyo's relationship with his father? His father does not like baseball, and thinks it is a disgrace for his son to play it. But will he change his mind?? I love baseball and books about history so this was a very good book for me to read. I read through this book in like three days so I wish it was longer, because I didn't want to put it down. Anyone who enjoys history, baseball, and some humor in a book should totally pick this one up and give it a try. This is definitely a five star book.
This is a must read book. I'm glad I read it.
