It starts out where Justin who is in the 3rd grade and he is a worry wart. Justin gets a teacher named Ms. Termini and he does not know if she will like him or not. Justin meets a kid named Xavier and his friend Gianni and they nominate Justin for the student council. He also plays the violin and he plays baseball. Which he is not very good at. He loses his favorite stuffed animal who is a dog named Wingnut and he can't find him for a long time. He gets a dog Named Qwerty and he is afraid of dogs but he grows into it.  I liked this book because I can really relate to Justin because I am afraid of dogs to and because I am kind of a worry wart to. Even though he is in the 3rd grade and I am in the 6th I feel like we are in the same grade. I also am scared of loud noises and banging.

Bluefish by Pat Schmatz

I think that people should read the book blue fish. the reason that people should read the book is because it's a very good book. the book is good because it's all about a kid named travis and he lives with his grandpa. Travis had a dog that was named rosco and his grandpa ran over it when he was going to work. [SPOILER ALERT!!!] then travis found a girl named valveeta and he sits with her and likes her very much. then travis's teacher found out that he can't read so his teacher gave him a book that travis likes, it's about wolves. so then during that time valveeta was happy that travis was learning how to read. then the school was having confrences and travis din't what his grandpa to go. then when his grandpa came home travis found that grandpa had roscos collar and travis was upset. then during the end of the story travis learned how to read better.

The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

Have you ever had that feeling that you were being followed your whole life? Well imagine that feeling, When you were sort-of being attacked by your evil monster-teacher. Imagine when you went to that camp that your mom just told you about on the way there except this time, there are half man and half horse things and for fun you play capture the flag with real weapons. The lightning thief was one of the books iv'e ever read by far (other than the hunger games). If you like greek mythology or your like me and you like it but you don't know much about it then just jump into this series because it was one of the best experiences iv'e had in a while.

If you ever have read a good book. You should believe me when i say i really did stay up until 1:00-2:00 in the morning. That is just about how great it is going to be for you.

Very highly recommended. Remember this is a series so read the next book "The Sea Of Monsters" witch is also a great book but thats a different review.

The Sneetches and Other Stories by Dr. Seuss

I really liked your book, The Sneetches. This is one of the bestest books I have ever read.

My fifth grade teacher read this book to me. When I got to sixth grade my language arts teacher told us that we had to look through our literature book and read a story and write a letter to the author of the story, that is when I saw the Sneetches.

In the beginning, the star belly sneetches treated the plain belly sneetches some what differently than they treat them selves. I think that the star belly sneetches is mean and need to be taught a lesson from the plain belly sneetches for being so judgmental.

In the middle of the story, Sylvester McMonkey McBean comes with a machine that can make the plain belly sneetches have stars. So when the plain belly sneetches went in and came out they had stars. The star belly sneetches didn't like the plain belly sneetches having stars like them so they said ''Stars are no longer in style.'' So sylvester said that they can go through his star off machine. So they went through and when they came out they didn't have stars. So the plain belly sneetches did the same.

So since they couldn't tell which sneetch was which they decided that a sneetch is a sneetch!

He slowly takes his eyes off of her. He welcomes Agnes. Then he goes into a room where there is a mummy. Showalter tells Agnes that she can start unwrapping the mummy.

Bad things start to happen like a person from the party is killed. They think there is a curse. Do you know who did the damage to the people?

I really thought the book was really interesting. It included many facts that we learned in social studies. I think this is a good book for 6-8 graders because they learned about social studies in 6th grade. It gives them a chance to remember and love the things they learned in the past or now.
