This book is about a girl who is very lonely with her mother dead and her dad always out searching for food. Dessa Dean the girl finds a beautiful dog that saves her life and others too.

It gets really exciting the next few pages and so on. Will the Leanin Dog help her loneliness and get her outside again? Find out in the book The Leanin Dog.

Swordbird


This book was great. I couldn't put it down. The book is about two tribes of birds. The cardinals and the blue jays save birds all around the world by calling Swordbird, a great mythical creature in an old old book. A hawk was taking over the whole world getting slave birds and soldiers. Can the good birds stop him? Find out in the book Swordbird. I gave it four hearts because the beginning was hard to understand, but as you get closer to the middle it gets really good.     YYYY

HATE THAT CAT


This book has some poems turned into a full story. The beginning of this book is sort of strange but when you get farther in you understand it more. I liked how the author described this particular story in poem. It is about a boy who thinks cats are mean and bad but soon gets a cat and realizes that cats aren't that bad. YYY

Thank you Caitlin Doggart from Where the Sidewalk Ends for giving me a copy of this book!

Welcome To Camden Falls


The first Main Street book (Welcome To Camden Falls) is my absolute favorite book. The first chapter almost brought me to tears. The book is about two girls whose parents died in a car crash. Flora and Ruby have to live with their grandmother in the row houses. It is such a good book.  I recommend the book to children and grownups. The book is about how hard it is  for them and how much change they go through every day. They meet new friends through their journey. I give this book YYYYY

The Doll People


The Doll People series by Ann.M.Martin is about a family of alive dolls who find another family of alive dolls. Annabelle, who is over one hundred years old, finds a very new doll in the family named Tiffany.  The two girls form a little exploration club called SELMP. In the first Doll People book, the girls use SELMP on a mission to try to find Annabelle’s long lost aunt in the Palmer’s attic. The Palmers are the owners of the dolls and their doll houses. In the second book, Annabelle and Tiffany are followed by Princess Mimi (also known as Mean Mimi) and Mimi tries to ruin the Dolls' peaceful home. In the third book, Annabelle an Tiffany run away into the big world with what they claim is Annabelle’s long lost baby sister. I give this series YYYYY

Out of Bounds


Out Of Bounds by Annie Bryant was a great book. Meave, Charlotte, Katani, Isabel, and Avery are working hard to save Meave’s father’s movie house. It isn’t all that easy you know because the Beacon Street girls are having other problems too: Meave has a lot on her mind with her parents recently separated, and Isabel’s facing trouble with the mean girls Kiki, Anna, and Joline in their talent show hip hop routine. After a flood in the gym where the talent show was supposed to be, they had to transfer the talent show to the movie house also where the money made from the talent show was going.
I enjoyed the book and I bet you might two. I give this book YYYYY
