" Tornado" by Betsy Byars

If you are looking for a good book then look for the book Tornado. This book is about a boy and his family. One day a surprise tornado hits the farm, Pete tell a story of when he was younger and they had a tornado. During this tornado a doghouse had flown to their yard and when they looked inside they saw a big black dog! They named him tornado. When Pete went with his dad to the town for lumber, a little girl saw the dog in the back of the truck and started calling him buddy. The little girl said that she had lost him in the tornado at the same time that Pete and his family had found Tornado. Pete was so upset. One day when he was doing work in the barn, Pete thought he was hearing Tornado scratching at the door because he missed him so. When he turned around to look to see what was making all of the noise he saw Tornado. Tornado must have run away from the little girl to come back to Pete and his family. When his father saw the dog he told Pete that the dog would have to stay here and not come with them to the town if he wanted to keep the dog. If the little girl found out where he was though he would have to give him up again.

I give this book five stars and think that you should read it too.

"Gilgamesh" By John Gardner and John Maier

This book contains a translation and interpretation of the great epic, Gilgamesh. It was written down upon many stone tablets thousands of years ago in ancient Mesopotamia. It is the tale of the great king Gilgamesh, a mortal beyond all others. It tells of how he met and befriended Enkidu, how the two of them battled against Humbaba in the cedar forest and against the bull of the heavens. I enjoyed reading this epic poem, though most of it was lost. I also enjoyed reading the interpretations of this poem. I give this fantastical epic a five of five stars.

"Scare School" by R.L. Stine

I like this book because it is about a magical creature called an imp and the imp is
terrorizing the school and the main character is named Sam and he kills the imp.
I think this is a four out of five star book.

"Anacaona" by Edwidge Danticat

Anacaona is an interesting book. Anacaona was the princess of an island of Xatagua in Haiti in the 1490's. She has a brother named Behechio, Baba and Bibi (mother and father). She moves to another island called Maguana when she marries Chief Canabo and becomes queen of that island. She trains to defeat the Killan and to protect her land from all harm. Later she has a baby . When some white men come to attack and take away their gold Anacaona, Canabo and their warriors defeat them. She defeated the white men to not only protect her land but to protect her baby. She meets a woman from Maguana and makes friends with her. When ever she needs help she is there for her. I highly recommend the book Anacaona to you.

I give this book five stars.

"Twilight" by Stephenie Meyer

Bella Swan is moving to Forks, Washington { practically the rainiest place on Earth} from Phoenix, Arizona, to live with her dad, Charlie. But on the first day of school Bella notices a table of kids anything but normal. But it's not that they are weird. They are more beautiful than anything Bella has ever seen. The best part is that one of them actually notices her. He is probably the most beautiful of all to Bella, with his bronze hair and pale skin. But then he glares at her for no reason with horrible black eyes, and he looks pained just sitting next to her in biology. The next day he is gone, and every day he is gone Bella wonders if it was all her fault.



Twilight was so awesome. I give it 5 Stars all the way. I think many people would love this book. So many people are already reading it because whenever I'm in the library it is never there. People who love romance and vampire books would love this book.

"The Diary of Anne Frank" by Anne Frank

As you can tell from the title, this book is in fact the diary of Anne Frank, a young girl that died in a Concentration Camp during the Holocaust.

For her 13th birthday, Anne gets a diary and writes in it as much as she can for two years as her and 7 other hide out in "The Secret Annex" for 25 months. Through-out the book, Anne writes so many detailed entries that you feel as if you were there with Anne and talking with her.

I enjoyed this story very much. I got a very good feel of what the time period was like and how wretched WW2 was. I would rate this Non-Fiction book a 5 out of 5 stars and would recommend this book to any reader.

"Demon Keeper" by Royce Buckingham

This book is about a kid named Nat. He runs a house full of demons all by himself.When he goes off on a date with a girl.A demon called the beast gets out .
Also a mystery man comes can Nat handle the pressure?




I thought this book was so awesome I did not want to put it down.One of the most scariest parts were when the beast killed some people.A funny part was when a demon got put in the microwave. I laughed so hard a how it happened it was so funny. It is a good book for the people who like humor/horror. I gave it 5 out of 5 stars!
