Just as Long as We're Together
by Judy Blume
It was a good book for girls. I wouldn't
recommend it to a boy. It is about three
girls and their problems. The first chapter is
"Hunks." Well, you get the point.I liked it.

Big Bazoohely
by Jim Carey
A kid was in a fancy hotel in Toronto. They were
in Toronto because his mother was going to sell
a painting, but when they can't find the person
she's going to sell it to, they can't pay for
the hotel. On a scale from one to ten
it is a 8.9999999999. I liked it because
it was so funny.

One Day in Horrorland
By R.L. Stine
A family is lost in a carnival called Horrorland.
They hear weird noises. On a scale from 1 to 10
I would say a 9 1/2. It was a great book
because it was funny and sort of scary.

The Witches

It's about witches, how they turn these two little boys, and the witches are in the same hotel. Good.

Outcast of Redwall
by Brian Jacques
It's about mice, otters, and squirrels. And badgers (salamdaistron), and stoats, rats, foxes, and weasels attacking two places. The greatest book ever.

Boy
by Roald Dahl
This is a wonderful autobiography that tells Roald Dahl's exciting childhood from bad events at school and to his vacations with his family. It can be gross, serious, and it even makes you feel all the bad things that happened to Roald because he describes things so well. I loved it because it was so descriptive and you could feel what was happening to Roald.

The Eyes of the Killer Robot
by John Bellairs
Johnny (who is introduced by John Dixon) hears the story of old Evertis Sloane by Professor Childermass, his well-companion And how Evertis Sloane builds this robot way back in the 20's. And how it kills all these people and they discover the robot. I think it was a very good book; the characters in it were excellent. But one problem: Some of the parts weren't very suspenseful. If you like all suspenseful books, don't buy this.

The Other Side of the Door
by Jeff Moss
It's a poem book, the poems in it are fairly short; they are somewhat silly/stupid. It was pretty good. But I just like poem books.

Mariel is on a ship with her father, Joseph the bell maker. Then Gabool the wild captures all aboard Mariel's ship. Then he throws Mariel out to the stormy waters. She is washed ashore near Redwall. Now she must search for her father, and her identity. Mariel of Redwall was a wonderfully descriptive book full of details and adventure.

One part has a part where Tom says work is fun, when he has to whitewash the fence. It is very descriptive and I like it.

Goosebumps: Go Eat Worms
by R.L. Stine
Well, there are lots of different Goosebumps, but one of them was about a kid who collected worms and there was a science fair at his school so he was going to make an ant farm but another kid made that too. It was nicer than the one he had. That's all I want to say. I think all Goosebumps are unrealistic and stupid.
