Dear Editor,
I just wanted to know if you got my review.
A great book author is N.D. Wilson . His hundred cupboards is fantastic ,and my favorite books right now are the Ashtown burials!
I've read One Hundred Cupboards and I didn't like it that much. It didn't get interesting till the end.
It's a series. Have you read the other ones? Were they more interesting?
If you thought it was boring, it was probably because the hundred cupboards was basically "setting the stage" for the other two books. His current series is the Ashtown burials, and it is really exciting.
you guys should read"one of those hideous stories where the mom dies" yes thats what its called, its amazing!!!
Has anyone read The Missing series. The books are:
1) Found
2) Sent
3) Sabotaged
4) Torn
5) Caught
The sixth book is coming out next year. It is about kidnappers who kidnap children from the past and bring them to the future. This guy named Jonah(who is a missing child from history)and his sister Katherine(who is a normal child) send the children back to history and fix time and history. I love this series so much. It is a MUST read series. The author is Margaret Peterson Haddix.
I've read them all. They're amazing!

Hey!
Have you guys read the Warriors series?
They're AWESOME
They're GREAT
They're FABULOUS
They're THE BEST SERIES IN THE WORLD!!!
It's by Erin Hunter
FYI
I just read almost 2 books in one day, and they are probably about an inch thick each.
That would be The Spiderwick Chronicles by Holly Black and Tony Diterlizzi. I have three books in one. I like it so far, its fantasy. I think theres a movie for it.
Is anybody reading The Heroes of Olympus series? I love them. They're by the same guy (Rick Riordan) who wrote the Percy Jackson series. This one is more Roman gods than Greek gods (I prefer Greek) but it's still a really good book.
They're pretty large, too. Around 500 pages, so it's good if you like books that will last you a while.
I LOVE these books! They are some of the best books I've ever read. I can't wait until the next one comes out this fall! :)
It's not more Roman than Greek. It just also has some Roman elements, more than Percy Jackson. The one I'm reading now is actually called "The Mark of Athena ". (Athena is a Greek god). Sorry about that :) and sorry for any spelling mistakes, I'm typing this on my family's kindle.
One of my favorite books so far is the Gilda Joyce Series. They are so mysterious! So Good!
I love the Gilda Joyce series! I think I've read all of them, but I only own Ladies of the Lake. I can't find them at any bookstores, though. :(
The Sammy Keyes series is amazing!!!
Island of the blue dolphins- by Scott O'Dell
Endymion Spring- by Matthew Skelton
I've listened to Island of the blue dolphins.
I love: Percy Jackson, Hunger Games, Gregor the Overlander, Hoot,and Candymakers.
Now I'm reading Hawksmaid: the untold story of Robinhood and Maid Marian. Its pretty good.
I saw that at the library and thought about getting it.
1.Harry Potter
2.Dork Diary
3.Hugo
4.Geronimo Stilton
5.Ms. Frisby and the Rats of N.I.M.H
Oh don't forget about 39 Clues!
They're all great books!
the nancy drew series gives me goosbumps. Do you like mysterys and adventures? check it otu
The Emerald Atlas is Awesome!!
I think they just came out with another in the series.
The Fire Chronicle.
I would say that Island of the blue dolphin is a good book, as well as the classic children books (Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn) by Mark Twain
I love the island of the blue dolphins. It's such a good book.
We've listened to Island of the blue dolphins on tape.
