The Cupid ChroniclesColeen Murtagh Paratore

The Cupid Chronicles is an amazing book. In the book Willa tries her best to save the town’s library because she loves Shakespeare. I learned that if you work hard at something it can happen; just like Willa would not give up what she believed in. I would recommend this book to a friend because it has astonishing things come up when you don’t expect them. A valuable lesson is that it all turns out good in the end if you are a good friend and daughter. Even when you go through bad times, they can turn around and get better.

Muggy Maggie Beverly Cleary

Maggie, Maggie, Maggie everyone says to a girl named Maggie Schultz. Do you know why? It’s because she does NOT want to write cursive. To me that is just not right. When she is chosen to be monitor she looks at the note and she seems to see that it has her name in it. Maggie goes back and forth giving notes to people all around the school. She keeps reading and reading them. Guess what, she finally writes cursive. Chapel DarleyChapel Darley

MarisolBy Gary Soto

In this book the main character is named Marisol. She is absolutely in love with dancing. Once her father announces that they are moving to the Chicago suburbs. Marisol is very upset because she realizes that in her neighborhood there is not a dance studio. But luckily her neighbor, Mrs. Gonzalez , used to be a dance teacher and performer. Mrs. Gonzalez ends up actually teaching dance at Marisol’s school. I learned you should never lie or treat people poorly. If you want something bad enough, you should earn it, not beg your parents. I would recommend this book to a friend because it’s a wonderful story and it teaches all these lessons for school. Never play pranks on your teachers, do not cheat, do not tell your mom and dad you have no homework when you really do, and do not lie to anyone, not even your sister. When you go to dance class never say you practiced your dance moves when all you did was watch TV. With a character like Marisol and her adventure there are many lessons to learn in this outstanding book!!!
