Book Comments 

Charlie Bone and the Invisible Boy by Jenny Nimmo
"This book is a phenomenal page turner... leaves you hanging off a cliff every time you turn the page." - Jackie  5 stars

Zach's Lie by Roland Smith
" I enjoyed this book because it left you hanging at the end of chapters and wanting to read more.  The author did well on explaining the crime scene in this book because he didn't just say they were attacked, he said what happened to each person."  - Melissa 4 stars

The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin
"This book is the best book I've read in a while.  I liked the book so much because it had mystery, action, and a little humor, which is what I really like in books." - Troy 5 stars

The Report Card by Andrew Clements
"Nora and her friend Stephen try to convince all the students in their class to get a zeroes on tests and quizzes. ... I think that this book is really funny and exciting for both kids and adults." - Ochey 5 stars

Kira Kira by Cynthia Kadohata
"What I think the author did well, she was able to use such fantastic describing words ... that I can make a picture in my mind." - Emily 3.5 stars

Skeleton Man by Jospeh Bruchac
