Theodore Boon: Kid Lawyer by John Grisham

In a town by the name of Strattenburg was a kid named Theodore Boone. A criminal, Pete Duffy, was accused of killing Myra Duffy, his wife. Theo Boone helps out the judge by telling what happened. Find out what happens! I recommend it to people who like thrillers and are between the ages 9 and 12.

Stuck on Earth by David Klass

Ketchuar III is sent from his home planet to Earth to see if humans are worth preserving, or if they should be killed. He takes the form of Tom Filbur, an average 14 year-old boy, but is surprised with unexpected troubles of bullying at school, while his family is falling apart at home. As he searches for hope in the world, he falls in love with his next-door neighbor and decides to fight for what he believes is right. I liked this book because it was realistic. I would recommend this book for 7th to 9th graders.

The Twits by Roald Dahl

Mr. Twit is a very horrid and foul man who has a face full of hair that is spikey and full of old food. Mrs. Twit is very ugly because she has ugly thoughts ever day. She gets uglier and uglier every day. She has a stick that she hit pets and small kids with and a glass eye. Mr. and Mrs. Twit play mean tricks on each other for fun. They have pet monkeys and eat birds but one day the monkeys and the birds get revenge. I would recommend this book to 5th graders.

This book is about a guinea pig named Olga da Polga. She escapes the pet store, and goes on many different adventures. I really liked this book, but I think I was a little too old for it. I recommend this for kids ages 7-9 years old who really like adventure.

Cornelia S. Englehart is not the girl you think she is. With both parents being famous pianists, you think she'd feel blessed. Well, not exactly. All she feels is lonely. Especially because her parents are always either in some far away place like Spain or at home practicing. Until Virginia Somerset moved next door with her servant Patel and french bulldog Mister Kinyetta. That was the day that changed Cornelia's life. It doesn't matter what your age is, you will love reading this book!
