The Swiss Family Robinson is about a family- Elizabeth (the mom), a dad, and 4 sons Fritz 15, Jack 13, Ernest 11, and Francis 8- and their crew, are sailing along the sea in hope to find a new island by New Guinea. Then a big wave came, and the crew had to get into inflatable boats and get sail in those. They forgot to take the Robinson family with them, so the family was stranded there. The family found some barrels, to make a boat, 2 dogs (named Turk and Flora), a cow, 2 goats, a mule, 6 sheep, a pig, some hems, roosters, pigeons, geese, and ducks! Land was not far away from the broken boat, so the family made life jackets for the animals. On land, the Robinsons built a house in a tree and a barn for their animals. There was a storm coming, so the Robinsons had to build a tent on the ground as their new home. The next day, Fritz went exploring and found a monkey, a coconut tree, and European fruits. Fritz, Dad, Turk and Flora, went out hunting and found buffalo. They killed a mother buffalo, and took her baby and they kept and tamed it. The Robinsons had to make a home in a cave, because of another storm. They decided to celebrate the 3 years the have been there, so the threw a party. Days later, the family ran into a python, and had to stay in their house. because they shot at it, but it didn't die. The snake rapped it self around the donkey, and then swallowed him whole. Fritz went out and shot the snake. A couple days later, they all were out hunting, when Ernest came screaming back, because there were 2 bears. The guys got their guns, then shot them both dead. They family made coats, gloves, beds and food out of them. Ten years had past, since they first got on the island. Fritz had came back from searching, and had pearls and a note that said someone else was trapped on the island. They found the lost person on the island, and her name was Emily. An English ship arrives, and they offered to take the family home with Emily and the crew. The family loved their new home, do the go? To find out, you must read The Swiss Family Robinson.

I LOVED this book, because it was really fascinating, the family had to move their home a couple times, they found animals they haven't seen before. It was a really good book! For example when the snake wraps itself around the donkey, you would think the donkey would stay alive, well you would be wrong! This book was really good!

The Ear, The Eye, and The Arm

Tendai, Rita and Kuda are the kids of General Matsika, Zimbabwe's chief of security. Tendai is said to be soft by his father because he hates fighting and others' pain. Kuda is different, he loves fighting. Rita is really good with Math. Another character is the Mellower, whose real name is Anthony. His job is to settle down the General and give praises to the family. Tendai, Rita, and Kuda want to explore the city and get their badges, so the Mellower tricks their parent's by letting them go with a signed form. Their first stop is Mbare Musika, a food market. While they are there, they get kidnapped by two people called, Fist and Knife. They are the helpers of the She Elephant. They are kept as slaves for a long time, but they soon find a way to escape. They escape to a place with the trash man called, Resthaven. Meanwhile, their parents find out, and get detectives, The Ear, The Eye and The Arm, to look for them. The detectives go to the She Elephant's place, but they are not there. They continue trying to look for them. While the kids are at Resthaven, they are accepted and cannot leave. They soon, however, get accused of witchcraft, and are banned from Resthaven. Then, they go to the Mellowers mother's house where she waits to get a reward for them. The She Elephant soon goes there and steals the children to give to the Masks, a bad gang. Will the detectives find them in time?

I like this book because it is about detectives, adventures, and crimes. People who enjoy exciting adventure and detective books will like The Ear, The Eye, and The Arm.

Hoot

Roy has just moved from Montana to Florida. He is on the bus. While he was looking out the window, he saw a boy. It looked like just an ordinary boy. A boy that was running to catch the bus. There were just a few things that weren't right though. When he was running, he had no backpack. He also had no shoes. And the oddest thing of all: When the boy Reached the bus, he just went right past it. Roy was very curious. He tries to Chase after him the next day. He couldn't because he was also facing a bully named Dana Matherson. Dana clamped his damp, meaty hands over Roy's throat. Roy was struggling to get air; he blindly swung his fist. Then, Roy felt his hand hit something.... Dana Matherson's nose! Apparently, Roy broke Dana's nose. At the same time, there is a crime done at the new Mother Paula's Pancake House. Roy wonders if the running boy, Dana, and the crime would all tie together somehow.

I liked this book because it was very exciting. From the cover, it seems very boring. It's actually very interesting! I liked it because there are two mysteries that are tied together. I would highly recommend this book

-Sebreena Zalam

Meg's story is about a girl who is 13 years old she has 3 other sisters named Jo,Beth,and Amy.Meg's parents aren't the richest people around in fact they pretty much are really poor.Jo is selfish but Meg has to learn how to live with her.Beth is really caring she loves the outdoors and doesn't like it when people are sad.Amy is the shyest of them all she always wants another doll to play with; she is also the youngest of the group!Meg is my favorite not just because she has the same name as me but because i love how she holds all of her sisters together because without Meg Jo,Beth,and Amy would be fighting all the time!

Meg sometimes feels unappreciated because she feels like its always up to her to do the right thing when she thinks her sisters should amke the right decision for themselves.Jo says Meg is just over reacting but in my opinion i agree with Meg!Beth always trys to do stuff on her own but sometimes it hard because she is still very young and its hard for her to go to her mom for advice because her mom is always busy with something and her dad is always at work!Amy is the youngest and she will always need someone to look up to;and Meg does not want that person to be Jo because she just doesn't think her sister has the responsible side.So Meg has to be in charge but the part that i love about this book is they stick together like glue!!!

So go ahead and read this book i loved and so will you!
