Summer Reading Book Review - Elena & Julian C.

Book Title: The Phantom Tollbooth


Author: Norton Juster
  
What was the story about? 
This great, fun and interesting story was my favorite because when Milo, who thought everything was boring, found a mysterious package in his room, it ended up to be a portal to another world.

Did you like the book? I liked this book because it had lots of word play.

Book Title: Chains

Author: Laurie Halse Anderson
  
What was the story about? 
It's a really good story about Isabel and her little sister Ruth, who were supposed to be free because their original masters said they were free but nobody believed them.

Did you like the book? I like this book because something suspicious was always happening so it kept you reading.

Book Title: The Gate


Author: Nancy Carabio Belanger
  
What was the story about? 
John is a naughty kid who cheats in school, plays violent video games and steals. His teacher makes him be pen pals with an old man in a nursing home. He didn't know it, but the man turned out to be a priest. Josh learns to love God and eventually becomes a priest himself.

Did you like the book? It made me scared that he might get arrested when he was doing bad things after his dad died. I liked that Pie was really good at explaining things kindly.

Julian rated this book 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Book Title: World War II: An Interactive History Adventure

Author: Elizabeth Raum
  
What was the story about? 
When the story starts, you are in high school and get to decide if you want to fight in WWII with the Canadians, with the Americans, or in the Netherlands against Germany. You get to make choices about your life and it's very risky. 

Did you like the book? It's really fun getting to choose how the story turns out and trying to stay alive. I liked that there were booby traps to try to stay away from.
