twits review
This book is about two Twits. Their names are Mr. and Mrs. Twit. The Twits are two mean, horrible, ugly creatures that play nasty tricks on each other. As an example, one time Mrs. Twit put worms in Mr. Twit’s spaghetti. They also have monkeys for pets. The Twits eat birds for supper; however, one day when Mr. Twit went out to get the birds, they were not there. This happened two more times causing Mr. Twit and his wife become furious. They went to buy some guns to shoot the birds. Find out what happens next (that means read the book)…
I give this book a 2, out of 5 stars.

The Hit-Away Kid
This book, The Hit-Away Kid, is a good book to read if you enjoy baseball. I could relate to Barry as I also like playing baseball and winning. The author kept me wanting to read to find out if Barry wins the dare. The author did a good job of showing what it is like to be a young kid playing under pressure. Although this book is fiction, the story happens in real life. In my opinion, this book is a must read if you enjoy baseball.
Captain Underpants
The story begins with two troublemakers/pranksters. George Beard and Harold Hutchins play a series of jokes that cause their school to lose a football game. Their Principal, Mr. Krupp, gets so angry at them he makes them follow a list of rules. If they don’t follow them, Mr. Krupp will give the football team a copy of a video. This video reveals George and Harold pulling the pranks on the team. Then they find a way of how to make Mr. Krupp hand over the video and forget the game. But it goes wrong and they turn Mr. Krupp into Captain Underpants and he fights many villains. The fate of the world lies in George and Harold’s hands. Will they succeed or fail…
If you read the first book you should read the rest of the series. I don’t recommend this book to any 6th graders. Because its easy and dumb. I also would recommend the book to younger children that enjoy dumb, funny books. I give this book three stars.
Read White Star!
White Star a Dog on the Titanic is a realistic fiction book that takes place on the voyage of the ship, Titanic. The main characters are Sam and Star. Sam is a teenage boy traveling to New York to see his mom. Star is a Champion Irish Setter used by his master for advertising. Star and Sam end up together fighting for their lives. Read this book to find out why.
This book is by Marty Crisp who makes his characters very interesting. This story is not predictable and makes you want to keep reading page after page. When Sam and Star first meet you would never guess how their relationship turns out. Anyone who has ever loved a dog will be able to relate to this book. I recommend this book to people who love animals and books with lots of action. White Star a Dog on the Titanic gets five stars from me.
Diary of a Wimpy Kid Cabin Fever
If you are looking for a funny story that makes you laugh out loud, then Diary of a Wimpy Kid Cabin Fever is for you! The characters are brothers Greg and Roderick Heffley and Greg's best friend, Rowley. The main character, Greg, is a middle schooler trying his best to stay out of trouble. Unfortunately, Greg gets into trouble at school. His parents have no idea, until the family is stuck inside their home for a week because of the huge snow storm. Greg ALWAYS seems to get into trouble, accidently. I recommend you read the entire Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. The author does a great job telling funny stories about middle schoolers that most of us can relate to. I recommend this book for people that have a sense of humor and a good imagination.
The Ghost of Crutchfield Hall is awesome!

Florence is happy at first, but then she realizes that Sophia wants to make Florence recreate the scene of her death and make someone else die instead. This book is for people who love scary stories like me. out of 10, i give this book a 9.5!!!!
Review of Because of Winn-Dixie
Opal named her dog Winn Dixie after a store . Did you know they live in a mobile home? They live in a mobile home because they just moved to Florida. The preacher told Opal ten things about her mother because she was little when her mother left. They have a church that used to be a store .When they are at church they bring their fold up chairs to sit on. Opal met a friend named Gloria Dump. They had a party at Gloria’s. Opal invited her dad the preacher and she invited Miss Franny Block the librarian. When she met Miss Franny Block she thought Winn Dixie was a bear.
I liked the book because it has a dog in it. Opal is the main character. She got the dog at a funny place. I liked when the preacher told ten things about Opal’s mother. If you like realistic fiction, I think you would like this book. If you like dog books, you should read this book. It gives a lot of details about the friends Opal and her dog.
