Chlorine
by Susan Watt

This was an informational book on chlorine. I learned that chlorine is a gas and keeps our pool clean. And bleach has chlorine compound. Also, chlorine helps our body stay immune.

The Hiding Place
by Corrie Ten Boom

This book was an inspiring adventure to any audience. The story begins in a home in Holland where Corrie Ten Boom and her sister made a life-altering decision to do what was right. This story stretches from the streets of Europe to grotesque concentration camps and was enlightening to my view of literature.

The Mystery of Crop Circles
by Chris Oxlade

I wonder how crop circles form too. I have a theory myself. In this book it seems that crop circles are odd and complicated. It is an interesting thing.

Real Beauty: 101 Ways to Feel Great About You
by Therese Kauchak

Real Beauty is about having courage in yourself and being confident. Being beautiful doesn't mean wearing all your make-up and lip gloss, being the prettiest or most popular girl in your school or having the best hair. It is about what counts inside and that's what real beauty is about.

Shipwrecks

In this book it tells true stories of ships that have crashed, for instance, the Titanic. I found the book very interesting and would highly recommend it.

Strange Partners: The Story of Symbiosis
by Anabel Dean

Strange Partners is about how unlike animals live together. You might think it's crazy, but it's not, it's actually kind of cool. For example, a clown fish and a giant sea anemone. Let me give you one more: a zebra and an ostrich. You'll find out the rest when you check out the book.

We Love Harry Potter! : We'll Tell You Why
by Sharon Moore

We Love Harry Potter! : We'll Tell You Why is a really good book. It is about kids' and parents' opinions about Harry Potter. It also has stuff about Quidditch and wizard food.
