Number the Stars In my opinion this book was very unique. All of it's suspense captured my interest and made me want to read ahead of the book. The novel is about a young girl named Annemarie Johansen and her family during World War II. Her best friend was a Jew named Ellen Rosen and the only way to keep her and her family alive was to make pretend that she was Annemaries sister. The setting of the book took place in Copenhagen, Denmark. Ellen's life remains in Annemarie's and her parents hands. To this day, "Number the Stars" is my favorite book.

__The Giver__ The Giver is a great book! It is about this 12 year old boy named Jonas who is chosen to recieve the memories of the town. This book is fiction. It is a what-if book of what the world could be. Lois Lowry is a great writer, I loved Number the Stars and if you liked Number the Stars then you'll kove this!!!

__The Giver__ __The Giver__ is spectacular! It is a little slow at the beginning, but don't be fooled- it's awesome and very catchy, so keep reading! The book is about a young boy living in a peculiar and outlandish town called Sameness. He is chosen to acquire the memories of this quaint little town. I definitely recomend reading this book if you like action~y, mystery~y fiction. Brava, Lois! <3

__The Giver__ The Giver by Lois Lowry is a bad book. It didn't have a great or interesting idea. It was about a world where it as nothing ever happened and if nothing ever happened it isn't going to be a book that you never put down!

__The Giver__ The Giver is a book about a 12 year old boy named Jonas. I did not like this book because it was not interesting to me. In my opinion it is all about clay and that does not interest me. So over all I would NOT recommend this book

The Giver

I really liked this book! I thought that is was very interesting. It is about a boy named Jonas who lives in a very odd community called Sameness. I definitely recommend this book if you like books that teach a lesson.

Number the Stars

I thought this book was very good. I think it is a great book for ages 10-14. This book is very inspiring. It is about a young girl during the Holocaust. She has a friend who is Jewish and she is trying to keep her safe from the German Soldiers. Will she fulfill her duty?

//__Rules By: Cynthia Lord __//

Catherine is a 12 year old girl, who is always getting stares because of her younger brother David, who has Autism.David has to be taught everything so Catherine has a book of Rules, so he knows how the world works. If the bathroom door is locked, knock. (especially if Catherine has a friend over), a boy takes his shirt off to swim, not his shorts, no toys in the fish tank. Catherine worries that she can't fit in and make friends with her "cool" next door neighbor because of David. I would recommend this warm, fantastic book to anyone!

Cynthia Lord’s fictional novel is called Rules. The main character is Catherine and she tells about her life, her family, and the new next door neighbor Kristi. Catherine has a brother named David and he has autism. David needs the exact answer, for example, when his dad was supposed to come home David was counting down the minutes and seconds to go. David goes to the clinic center so he can be helped with his autism and Catherine met Jason from seeing him at the clinic center. Catherine’s theory is to make note cards for a boy in a wheel chair who can’t talk named Jason. Catherine tells lies about Jason to Kristi. She gets in trouble with Kristi when she finds out. The author put all of these descriptive details into one book. Cynthia Lord put lots of interesting facts about all the characters, what they were talking about, and where they went. Some of the characters feelings are mostly emotional when they talk to each other. Many of sections of the book I wanted to know more about while I was reading. At night when I was about to go to sleep the book just pulled me into the book so I wanted know what was going to happen next when I read it in school the next day. The part that I wanted to know more about was when Catherine was about to meet the new next door neighbors. I could see the whole picture in my head and also I could see how their reactions were to the words people said to them, and the action between the characters and themselves.
