Sadako, a young girl born after the atom bomb hit Japan, though the diseases still lay in the town. She was born to be a runner, until she started not feeling right. Her parents did not know until she fainted right before them. Of course, they rushed her too the hospital, and the doctors say she contracted leukemia, a disease from the atom bomb. She immediately starts folding one thousand paper cranes, because in the Japan culture, if you fold one thousand paper cranes the gods will make your wish come true. Can she make in time to fold enough cranes, or will she grow weak and pass? I loved this book so much, and I appreciate the author creating a new window to what actually happened.

I really liked James and the Giant Peach. It is a really magical book. It really takes you into the story, it is like you are in the peach with James. This story is about a boy named James. James lives with his two mean aunts because his parents were eaten by a rhino. One day, on a tree in a James' yard a peach grows on the tree. But it is not any peach it is a magical peach. It grows so big it gets bigger than the tree it is on. The peach falls off of the tree and it rolls down the hill James lives on. There is a whole crazy adventure on the peach that I do not want to spoil! My favorite part of James and the Giant peach is when the peach is in the air flying and it falls on the Empire State Building. I really like Roald Dahl. (He is the author of James and the Giant peach). His books are so so funny. This book is probably one of the best books that I ever read! I will totally read another one of Roald Dahl's books. I will totally recommend this book to you! I hope you enjoy the book, and if you do there is a movie!

I read this book for school, because I needed to read some Newberry Medal Winners. That was one of the best assignments I've ever had and I'm here to tell you why. Sometimes you just wish you could read a comic book while you're reading a normal book, and when you switch you want a normal book. This book solves the problem. It's both. And then, there are also the lovable characters. There's Mrs. Tickham, Flora's neighbor, who gets a vacuum for her birthday and- well, that's another story. And there's Flora's mom, the author who writes romance novels. There's Flora's dad, a very safe driver that lives in fear of a landlord's cat. There's William Spiver, Mrs. Tickham's great-nephew, who randomly shoots out weird quotes. There's my favorite character, Ulysses, who (Things are about to get weird) gets run over by a vacuum cleaner and turns into a superhero (A flying, typing superhero to be specific) There's Flora, the Incandesto-obsessed cynic (Don't ask me what that means) who saves the life of Ulysses after he gets run over by the vaccuum cleaner. If you read this book you'll understand why it's a Newberry Medal Winner.

Callie has a passion for theater. Even though she lacks singing skills and can't audition for her middle school's production of Moon over Mississippi, she's found her place as the set designer for the drama department's stage crew. Determined to create a Broadway-worthy set on a limited budget, she faces challenges such as her limited carpentry knowledge, declining ticket sales, and crew members struggling to collaborate. As if that's not enough, she also has to navigate the drama that unfolds both on and offstage once the actors are chosen. And to add to the chaos, two charming brothers enter the picture, making things even more complicated! What would happen next to Callie? Happy reading! ~ Victoria Ella

I read it several times and I loved it! This book is about two siblings, Jack and Annie. They found a magic tree house which can take them to other times or places. They accidently went to a time when there were dinasours. There are funny parts inside the book. I think it's a bit too easy, so I reccomend it to 5 to 8 years old!

I loved this book! It talks about a boy who don't have lots of money, but gets to go to the magical Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory. Recommended to 6 to 10 years old.

Magic tree house is a very entertaining series to read when I read Mary's books I feel like I'm a character in the book now I don't read to many books like that but magic tree house sure is one of few that I will read all day long! Thanks for reading I hope you enjoy as much as I do.

I haven't read the book yet but all I know is that MAPLESHADE'S CRAZY!!!! She is a MANIAC! No wonder her mate chose another mate. She scared Crookedstar to death! ( not really. :) ) She took his wife and two of his kits and his mother away. ( READ CROOKEDSTAR'S PROMISE ) I am not trying to make anyone upset, but she didn't deserve to have a mate or kits, and she was probably jealous because Crookedstar had a better life than her. ( Avoiding his mother abandoning him, and Goosefeather making him end up with a twisted jaw.) Oakheart probably had a way better life than him, he had all of his mother's love and he had his own father as his mentor. Oakheart also had two kits instead of one. Also only one of Oakheart's kits died and Crookedstar lost two of his kits and ended up with Silverstream, a bratty daughter. Oh and don't get me started on Feathertail, she acts like she's so perfect and Crowfeather would love her forever. Bluestar is so much better than both of them.
