I saw that a few weeks ago someone sent in something about the Left Behind series for The Kids.  I just finished the first and second book.  I started it the first on Thursday and finished it that night then finished the second the next day.  If people like mysteries they should definitely try it.  My mom read the book for adults and said she liked it.

One of the best books I read was A Wrinkle in time. In the story 2 kids live with their mother and they meet this other boy. Also they meet three witches. The witches tesser them through time and that means they traveled through dimensions in different ways after that they go to a weird planet and everyone does stuff in the exact same order. It was the best book!!! You have to read it. PS- I love the newsletters and website Booker.T.Worm!!!

Dear Booker and fellow readers,
I just recently finished There's a Boy in the Girl's bathroom by Louis Sachar. It is about this boy named Bradley Chalkers who sits in the back of the classroom. There's a new kid, Jeff, who likes Bradley. Bradley threatens Jeff by saying, "Give me a Dollar or i'll spit on you." Then Carla Davis the new school counselor comes and wants to talk with Bradley. Find out more when you read this cool book.
Note from Booker: Find out more about Louis Sachar here.

Okay..guess what! My class read a book called Number the Stars by Lois Lowry! It is about a little girl and her friend name Ellen. This takes place during the Holocaust, and the persecution of Jews. It is a heart-touching story and I would really recommend it to anyone who likes history!

* * * * *

It would be really cool if you could give out ideas from the books so we wouldn't have to buy a book to make cool crafts.
Note from Booker: That is a great idea! We will see if we can do that. In the meantime, ask your librarian or your teacher if they have any craft books you can borrow.

Here is a review I have on the novel Bat 6. The novel, Bat 6, by Virginia Euwer Wolff is about a baseball game played by the two cities of Barlow and Bear Creek Ridge.  I really enjoyed this book.  In a unique way this book combines history and fiction to be both educational and interesting.  I feel that girls would especially enjoy reading this novel since it primarily has to do with girls.  Through out the novel the affects of the World War 2 battle and how it affected the girls lives in these two communities.  This novel taught me a lot about World War 2 and I did not find it boring like a normal history book as our given out in school.  This novel helped me learn as well as keep me intrigued.  I just wanted to share my review with you in hopes that you could share it with others.

I would definitely like to recommend the C.S. Lewis books. His books are long and sometimes you want to give up but then you just can't stop. THEY ARE SOOO HARD !!!!!!!!!! I mean they get boring but The Wayside School books are much easier and full of excitement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also I'd like to recommend books by Louis Sachar (my Favorite author) especially Wayside school  books such as :Wayside school is falling down, Sideways stories from Wayside school, Wayside school gets a little stranger and more. And I'd like to recommend another book by him:There's a boy in the girls bathroom!! I'd recommend the C.S.Lewis books for ages 10 -16
And the wayside school school ages 8 and up.
Note from Booker: Thanks for the recommendations! For more about the Narnia books by C.S. Lewis, click here.
