Belle Teal is a very good historical fiction by Ann M. Martin.  First in this book Belle Teal is not having a real good start to her fifth grade year because she’s going through some obstacles.  Next  Belle’s Grandma’s memory is going away, Her mom is working very long, Belle’s friends are having some problems, and she has some new kids in her class and one has a big secret!  Now Belle Teal needs a way to get through it all.

If I rated this book between one to ten, I would rate it a ten.  I think that anyone who enjoys really good books this would be a book for you!

The Sea of Monsters is a very good fantasy book by Rick Riordan. This book is about Percy Jackson going back to Half Blood Camp when there is a fight and they had to go get the golden fleece!   Percy and his two friends Tyson and Annabeth had to take a very dangerous adventure to take it back to where it belongs.  Next in the book they went to find it when they get into the sea of monsters.  Finally they get across the monsters and get the golden fleece they get into there boat and took the golden fleece back.  Now percy jackson is going on a different and scary adventure. 

Between one and ten, I would rate it a ten.  I think that anyone who loves fantasy books would like this book.

Sea Stars and Their Kin is a really good informational book by Herbert S. Zim and Lucretia Krant. Sea Stars and Their Kin is about  how sea stars live, what they do, and what animals are their relatives.  It even says how they move.

In the book, it says that sea cucumbers, sea urchins, and sea stars are all echinoderms which means spiny skinned.  enteresting right?  Did you know that sea cucumbers, sea urchins, and sea stars are not sensitive animals. Also, sea stars and their family don’t have brains.  they only have instinks to protect themselves from danger.  Now that’s all I’m going to tell you but if you thought that was enteresting wait until you read  the book.

from me reading  this book I would rate this book a ten because it was a very entertaining and interesting book, so if you like really good informational books I say you read this book.

Bloomability is a pretty good free choice book by Sharon Creech. The book is about a girl named Dinnie Doom. I n the story she moves a lot and she gets ”kidnapped” by her Aunt Sandy and Uncle Max and they go to Switzerland.  So it’s an opportunity for her to actually do something exciting and she misses her family even though they write her letters. So will she see them again?  If you want to find out I suggest you read this book

I would rate this book a five because it was a good book.  I liked it but I can’t say its my favorite but whoever is into books like this one then I suggest you read it.

Hansel and Gretel is a good traditional literature book by The Brothers Grimm. This story is about a boy named Hansel and a girl named Gretel and their parents don’t have enough of food for everyone.  They take Hansel and Gretel to the woods and keep them there. Then they find a house made of sugar bread and cake and so happens a evil witch lives there and has the children stay and gets them fat so she can eat them.  So if you want to know what happens you should read it.

From a scale from one to ten, I would give it a five because it was pretty good but I wasn’t a big fan of it. If you like fairy tales (traditional literature) then I suggest this book for you but it wasn’t my favorite story.
