//Go for the Goal//
 Go for the Goal is a autobiography written by Mia Hamm. This book is about her life story of how she became the best woman soccer player! When Mia was a kid she was really close with her brother. She was always playing against boys, and even Mia was on the same sports team as them. This helped her develop as a soccer player because they would challenge her. When she was on the National Team she faced challenges of when her team would lose. Also she would face challenges with injuries. Every time they lost Mia and her team learn something different on how to play the game.

This is a great book about Mia Hamm’s life and how she had the strive to be a great women’s soccer player. This book is interesting because Mia gives specific tips and tricks on how to be a great soccer player. Some of the tips are when she tells you how to dribble better, pass better, or even juggle better. I would recommend this book for kids who love soccer! After kids read this book they will be inspired by her because Mia had to practice often to be a professional soccer player. This teaches you to work hard for what you believe in.

The book //Its Not Summer Without You// is a great book for any girl. For as long as Belly could remember she had been going to Cousins with Susanna, her mom’s best friend and her two sons, Conrad and Jeremiah. But this year was different. Susanna was sick and died and no one was going to the beach house. Conrad, Belly’s first real crush, goes missing and his brother Jeremiah calls Belly to go looking for him. Everyone thinks Conrad is just running away from school and his dad but as Belly always knew, he had a reason for doing everything he does. Throughout this book, Belly wonders if she picked the right brother? Would she be better off forgetting about Conrad and going with Jeremiah who was her first kiss and her best friend? Hopefully she made the right decision, because she knew that this relationship would not only affect the two of them it would affect all the people she loved her mom, brother, and most of all, she did not want to disappoint Susanna. Belly made a promise to Susanna that she would watch over her boys especially Conrad. Now she is scared if she picks the wrong brother, something bad will happen to the other one. All the time that Belly had known Susanna, she had never disappointed her and she did not want to start now when she could not apologize in person. This book has death, friendship, family, and love in it, and that is why it is the perfect book for any girl in her teen years.

=Harrison, Lisi= The Clique series This series of books are very relatable for tweens. It deals with challenges that some middle school girls are facing lately. There were a lot of different so called drama problems between these girls. Every book has a different problem in it. Starting from a new girl coming to school let alone having to live in the guest house of the most popular girl in school all the way to these girls having to get summer jobs?!?!?! I would definitely recommend this book to tweens. It lets you know that you are not the only one dealing with these problems. Cristina 7th grade School of the Holy Child

=Hinton, S.E.= That Was Then, This is Now This book was really good. It is the sequel to the book, The Outsiders. Though it is about different people, it is in the same town, and the same kind of things go on, but it is a completely different book. I recommend this book for many others, especially if you liked the outsiders!! Emma 7th Grade School of the Holy CHild =Hinton, S.E= The Outsiders I honestly loved this book. Being able to see what was happening back in the day with Greasers and Sojias was very interesting. The details made this one of the best books I read in a while. I would recomend this book to others. Cristina School of the Holy Child 7th grade

=Hiassen, Carl= =Flush=

Flush is a great book. It's about a boy who's father is in jail. The father is in jail for sinking some rich man's boat. The father claims that The Coral Queen (a gambling boat) is dumping it's waste in the ocean. Noah thinks his father is right, and goes on a mission to clear his father's name. Of course, a 6th grader trying to sue a grown man needs help. Noah gets help from a tough woman, her beer-loving husband, and his little sister. Find out what happens! Read the book!

I thought the book //Flush// was very good. I thought it had a great plot. It made me keep on reading. This book was funny, smart, and it had a good message. I am a very picky reader and it is hard for me to pick out a book, but this book was perfect for me. This was, so far, my favorite book I have read all year! Maeve 7th Grade School of the Holy Child

But you do feel like you are in the book with all the other characters because of the description used in //Among the Hidden//. Among the Hidden is the start to a series, and this book simply sets the scene. If you like suspense and drama, read this book.=

=We rate this a 9 out of 10=

I am blown back at the felling Margret put into the book. She made me fell what she felt. I rate the book a 8 out of 10 only because the is no big part in the book.

Dear readers, The book Found by Margaret Peterson Haddix is the most interesting book I have read in my life! The book is about a 13 year old boy named Jonah who finds many things about him self that no one can imagine. and he is adopted. One day he gets a letter from a stranger saying, " You are one of many." Who is the many, and and why did he come to earth on a plane with no one driving the plane? Read this book and you will find the answers. This book is Suspenceful, Aventurous, and Fun alll at the same time! Arianna 6th grader FSH =Hiassan, Carl: Hoot! ^<^=

hoot is one of the best books ever because of how good the message is. i liked the description of the owls. i rate this book a 10 out of 10 because of how involving the book was.

=Harrison, Lisi=
 * I think Hoot is a really good book. It is very exciting... a great book to read over Spring Break. I think it is great at showing that we cannot destroy animal's homes. I would rate this book an 8/10 and I would suggest it to anyone who wants a good book to read. **

Lisi Harrison wrote a great series called the "__Clique"__ series I read the second book in the series called "__Best Friends For Never__". This series is about a bunch of mean girls, Massie, Kristen, Alica, and Dylan. They are very mean to this girl named Claire. All of the girls in the __Clique__ do mean but funny things to Claire. But the girls in the clique get into a lot of fights and the clique is falling apart. I think this book is good for anyone who likes funny and realistic book.

Erin Hunter Warriors

This series is wonderful. It is the classic blend of drama, action, and not to mention some fantasy fiction. I would not recommend this book for people who are stuck on passive reading (reading one book, throwing it somewhere and starting another book) because this series is very, very long and can sometimes get a little annoying. I would recommend this for a reader who likes to finish the series he/she starts and also for the reader who likes constant action with a //**little**// drama/"romance" to mix it in with. Erin Hunter sure keeps readers on their toes with this series!

Anthony Horowitz Skeleton key This is the third book in the Alex rider serious and by far my favorite out of the 3! I am a picky reader and will get really bored of a book if it doesn't have enough action. This book a plenty of action and at times I couldn't put the book down. Other times my heart was racing to see how he would escape his near death experiences. I strongly suggest this book for someone who like action books and I cant wait to read the next book in the series.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;">Hoot is a funny and sad book that makes you keep reading. It is about a boy who always moves. He moves to Florida because of his father’s job. He faces some big problems. There is a bully who bullies him every day on the bus and on top of that he tries to stop people making a Pancake House right where the owls live! I am a very picky reader and this book was excellent, and I read it in only 2 days!

====Hoot is a very good book. She pretty much summarized it. But i have a few thoughts. This book teaches you that if you care for something you can stick up for it or save it. The main character had a hard time at school at first, but then he met a few friends. Together they worked hard to save the owls! The owls were saved! I usually do not enjoy books but i really enjoyed Hoot. I like hwo this book kept you wanting to read ahead or keep reading. I strongly suggest that many people read this book!====

Connelly School of the Holy Child
Hinton, SE THE OUTSIDERS The Outsiders is an amazing book about a group of boys growing up in the mid- 1960’s. There were two main groups at the time called the Greasers and the Soc’s. They never got along and had much hate for each other. Also the parents of the main character had passed away when he was young and he lived with his older brother. I would recommend this book to others. Rubi 7th Grade School of the Holy Child
