Leslie-Sweet Fifteen

Sweet Fifteen so far is a great book! It is about a girl named Rita who is making a Quinceanera dress for a girl named Stefanie. Stefanie lives with her mom because her dad had just died recently. Her dad had always wanted a Quinceanera for Stefanie, ever since she was born but even though her dad died her godfather is stepping in to take the place of her dad. Her
godfather is paying for the dress that Rita is making. There is Something about Rita that only she knows it is that she is in love with Stefanie's godfather. That is all I have read so far but as I read on I will tell you what happens.

The cat who turned on and off-Garrett

Right now I am reading the first Cat Who..... book in the series. Qwilleran had arrived in a town called Junktown to write a story about it. It's called junktown because all the stores mainly sell antiques. Qwill is at an auction to see what they have and to find Mrs. Cobb to see if he can get an apartment for rent. He finally got one from C. C. Cobb (not Mrs. Cobb) and he is staying there. Later on he is still trying to figure out why Andy Glanz died because of the accident. Qwill doesn't believe it was an accident. A few nights later C. C. goes scrounging for more things he can sell but while he is at this house, who many other antique dealers go to get things to sell, is found the next morning dead in the upstairs bedroom. While Qwill and Mrs. Cobb are there the police come (because their cab driver told the police two people were being dropped off at an abandoned house and you're not supposed to go to this house and scrounge) and ask why Qwill and Iris (Mrs. Cobb) are there. The police knew that C. C. was already dead. So Qwill is thinking this was a murder and is investigating it...............

Paola-A friend at midnight

This book is kind of sad. Its about a girl who has a step-family. The story starts off when her biological father drops off her real little brother  at the airport just like that telling him he was not the son he had in mind. The girl has to go and rescue her little brother carrying her 23 month old half-brother. Micheal (the abandoned kid at the airport) tells Lily (older sister) not to tell anyone what happened. Lily then hates her father and Micheal stays silent. The Rebeca, the oldest sister, comes and plans a wedding and invites the dad.Right now in the book everyone is questioning what really happened at the airport , why did Micheal come home? The book just keeps getting better and better.

Taylor-The Journal of Patrick Seamus Flaherty

My book got my attention because, it was about a solier in the Vietnam war. I love learning about wars and so it looked really good and it is. So far I have learned that Patrick is from Boston and I guess a pretty good football player. He is stationed on the Hill they call 881s. Everyone has a nickname and he isn't getting along with Bebop all the time. Especialy since he got his nickname the Mighty Mouse from Bebop. Hollywood was sounding really popular when I was reading. But, I guess it is more danerous just digging a trence for safery then we think we you hit and detonate an old dud from the fights to win the 881s. He was really out of it seeing as his last words were looking at what was left of his "What a mess". How will they tell all four of his girl friends what happened to Hollywood. How will Patrick survive on 881s without his bestfriend in his platoon on the hill with him. Better yet how will he survive the war seeing stuff like that everyday. Lets hope he finds a way.
