The Lord of the Flies

In The Lord of the Flies a group of kids[about twelve teenagers and about 50 three-five year olds]get stuck on an island completely unknown. Ralph and Jack the two main leaders are fighting to see who gets control of the island.Ralph is voted leader first but then Jack starts his own group.

I think that this is a great book. But it takes a while to get into.I don't think any one under sixth grade should read it though. Sometimes I got lost and had to reread parts but overall it was really good.

I give the book a eight and a half out of ten.

The problem in this book is that Dallas and Florida need to find a good home that they like, and there are people who love and trust them the way kids deserve to be.

This book is very good. I recomend this book if you like realistic fiction. On a scale of 1-10 i would choose 8 because this book is very good. Part of the reason I like this book is because it has a very good ending.

Walk Two Moons

When 13 year old Salamanca Tree Hiddle sets off for her journey with her two crazy grandparents she discovers that this journey is going to be far more challenging than it appears to be. Salamanca is on an adventure to find her mother in Idaho. During the trip there is story after story of the Winterbottoms in which Salamanca tells very well.

This is a pretty good book with surprising twists and turns. We find that this book is a very interesting because of the story of the Winterbottoms inside of the actual book itself. The part of the book that tells Salamanca's story isn't as interesting as the other events that occur in the book. We give this book a 7 out of 10 stars.
