Jennifer Murphy's Toad by Bruce Coville
-A delightful combination of humor and "soppy stuff," Jennifer Murphy's Toad is a must-read!
Welcome to the BSC, Abby by Ann Martin
-I loved these books when I was younger, and I recommend them for ages 8-10.
Turning Up the Heat by Diane Muldrow
--One thing I enjoyed about this book was that although I had not read its predecessor, I had no trouble following the events of this book.
The Book of Three by Lloyd Alexander
--I disliked this book mainly because of the violence and how it was presented. The storyline would have been good, but it struck me as unoriginal.
I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith
--This book is very good. It combines romance seamlessly with the struggles of daily life, creating a book that would suit many.
Fantasy Stories
--A charming collection of past and present day fantasy, this would be found on many bookshelves.
Sammy Keyes and the Sisters of Mercy by Wendelin Van Draanen
--A good point of this book was that even though religion was involved, it did not overly intrude in the book.
What Katy Did Next by Susan Coolidge
--I did not particularly enjoy reading this book. A flaw taht I might point out is that it shifted from topic to topic too much, and if you had not read its predecessors, there would be things you did not understand.
